In vitro antifungal activity of aqueous-ethanolic extract of Allium jesdianum against fluconazole-susceptible and -resistant human vaginal Candida glabrata isolates [PDF]

Journal of HerbMed Pharmacology, 2017
Introduction: About 50% of women are diagnosed with an episode of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) during first 25 years of their lives. Candida glabrata is considered the second most prevalent non-C. albicans species associated with VVC. In this study, we

Role of vulvovaginal infection in women with short cervix: An observational clinical trial. [PDF]

Int J Gynaecol Obstet
Abstract Objective Short cervix (SC) and vulvovaginal infections, such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and vulvovaginal candidosis (VVC), are known risk factors for preterm birth (PTB). The objective of this study was to investigate whether the combined presence of SC and vulvovaginal infections further elevates the risk of PTB.

Visual Cortical Lateralization in Activations and Functional Connectivity to the Sight of Faces, Scenes, Body Parts, and Tools. [PDF]

Hum Brain Mapp
Visual ventromedial cortical stream and inferior parietal regions are activated more in the right hemisphere in humans. In contrast, faces, body parts, and tools activate some ventrolateral visual cortical regions more in the left hemisphere. ABSTRACT The lateralization of cortical activations and functional connectivities was analyzed when 833 Human ...
