The vaginal mucosa is inhabited by both fungal and bacterial microorganisms which normally co-exist with the host in a tightly regulated and commensal manner.
Oral hygiene is one of the most accessible and well-known strategies for the prevention of dental caries. The benefits of this practice after tooth eruption are well established in the literature. Oral hygiene in newborns prior to tooth eruption is controversial, since there is a disagreement between the Dental and Pediatric Associations as to the optimal time to initiate oral hygiene in children and scientific studies in this regard have not yet been performed. Some of these associations recommend starting this practice from the eruption of the child's first tooth. Others recommend beginning the cleansing of the child's oral cavity from birth by cleaning the baby's gingival rollers and tongue. The aim of the present investigation will be to evaluate, through a randomized clinical trial, the influence of oral hygiene in newborns on Candida spp colonization. and on the child's behavior during oral hygiene after tooth eruption. Will be included in the study, pairs of mothers and babies born in the maternity of the Hospital Nossa Senhora da Saúde, in Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil. This will be a rehearsal Randomized clinical trial in which newborns will be allocated into 2 groups, namely: - Newborns whose parents will receive guidelines for oral hygiene before tooth eruption (Group 1); - Newborns whose parents will receive instructions not to perform oral hygiene before tooth eruption (Group 2). The initial data collection will be performed one month after the child's birth and will include oral clinical examinations, saliva collection and questionnaires on the socio-environmental, economic and behavioral aspects of the child and his family. Initial oral clinical examinations will be performed to assess the presence of Candidiasis, and saliva collection will be performed to identify and quantification of Candida spp. These evaluations will be performed again every three months. From the eruption of the first deciduous tooth, the follow-up included an assessment of the baby's behavior during oral hygiene performed by the responsible. This evaluation will be made by the examiner using the Frankl scale and HBCD scale criteria. Statistical analysis will be performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science, version 23.0 and will include descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analyzes.
The purpose of this pivotal study is to determine if intravenous Rezafungin is efficacious and safe in the prevention of invasive fungal diseases when compared to the standard antimicrobial regimen.
Background: Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) is a common obstinate vulvovaginal inflammation in gynecology. At present, the pathogenesis of RVVC is not clear. In recent years, it is emphasized that the changes of vaginal microecological environment play an important role in the occurrence and development of RVVC. The treatment of RVVC can be divided into intensive treatment and consolidation treatment. Currently, local antifungal treatment is the main treatment regimen. While it is difficult and had an insufficient effect on prevention from recurrence of clinical signs and the improvement of vaginal mycological status in long term. Besides, there is no mature consolidation treatment regimen at home and abroad. Through the current application of the fractional CO2 laser in the treatment of atrophic vaginitis, it is confirmed that local irradiation of the fractional CO2 laser on vulva and vagina can regenerate and repair mucosal tissue, enhance the function of vaginal epithelial cells, gradually restore the normal pH value of vagina, improve vaginal microecological environment, restore the proportion of vaginal flora and reduce the recurrence rate of RVVC. This trial aims to explore the efficacy of two consolidation therapy schemes: the fractional CO2 laser and traditional antifungal drugs. Methods/Design: The ongoing study will include 200 RVVC patients who voluntarily joined the study and signed the informed consent form the Second Affiliated Hospital of WMU during December 2019 to March 2022. After patients were cured by transvaginal local drug intensive therapy, participants will be randomly divided into control group (n = 100) and experimental group (n = 100). The control group continue to receive a monthly course of vaginal local drug consolidation therapy for 6 months, while the experimental group will be given monthly local vaginal CO2 laser consolidation therapy for 3 months. The vaginal secretions samples of RVVC patients will be collected before intensive therapy, after intensive therapy and at the end of consolidation therapy, and the species abundance and structure of vaginal flora were detected and analyzed. In the same period, 5 healthy women of childbearing age were recruited as the normal control group and the volunteers do not take any treatment. The vaginal secretions samples of 5 volunteers will be collected when signing the informed consent to detect and analyze the species abundance and structure of vaginal flora. The patients with RVVC will be followed up for 3, 6 and 12 months after the treatment and vaginal secretions samples will be collected for vaginal flora structure detection to compare the vaginal microecological environment. For recurrent patients, the investigators will carry out targeted treatment, and again collect vaginal secretions sample to detect and analyze the species abundance and structure of vaginal flora. Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of fractional CO2 laser consolidation therapy and traditional antifungal consolidation therapy for RVVC, and assess the role of fractional CO2 laser in changes of vaginal microecological environment and recurrence rate of VVC after consolidation treatment.
Vaginal infection in early pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of spontaneous preterm delivery and late miscarriage. Most studies presume that vaginal infections are responsible for up to 40% of preterm birth. Although the causative microorganisms of vaginal infections are manifold, the three pathogens most commonly associated with vaginal infections are Gardnerella vaginalis, Candida albicans and Trichomonas vaginalis. The aim of this prospective study is the validation of the point-of-care tests OSOM BVBLUE for bacterial vaginosis and SavvyCheck Vaginal Yeast Test for candidosis in comparison to Gram stain.
Little is known regarding the effectiveness of neonatal oral hygiene and its relationship to colonization by Candida spp. in edentulous oral cavities. Thus, the objective of this study is to evaluate whether the oral hygiene of edentulous infants favors colonization by Candida spp. Newborns with up to 48 hours of life will randomly allocated to two groups. The mothers will instructed to clean the oral cavity with gauze and mineral water three times a day, in the test group, and not to clean, in the control group.
This is a prospective genetically-stratified randomized double-blind event-driven multicentre clinical trial to assess the efficacy of posaconazole-based antifungal prophylaxis allocation strategies for patients with acute myeloid leukemia who receive induction chemotherapy. Allocation strategy based on an invasive mold infection genetic risk will be double-blinded.
In this study, a multicenter, prospective, synchronous blind, and controlled study was adopted to set the cut-off values of candida specific IgG, IgM, and Mn with the blood culture results as the gold standard, so as to evaluate the diagnostic value of candida specific IgG, IgM, and Mn levels in candida infection. 1. the cut-off values of serum specific IgG, IgM and Mn of candida sinensis infected population in China were established by comparing the positive results of blood culture of 300 healthy people and 100 patients with positive candida sinensis blood culture as the gold standard and using ROC curve (ROC curve). 2. 100 patients with positive tracheal aspiration culture and 100 patients with positive urine culture were enrolled. Serum levels of candida specific IgG, IgM and Mn were detected, and sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and likelihood ratio of candida specific IgG, IgM and Mn in tracheal aspiration and urine were evaluated. 3. 200 high risk patients with candida infection were enrolled, and the aseptic fluid culture and the simultaneous detection of serum specific IgG, IgM and Mn were adopted to explore the diagnostic value of the detection method. 4. positive candida culture in sputum and positive candida culture in tracheal aspirate were taken as the control group to compare the levels of IgG, IgM and Mn in serum of the two groups, and to explore the diagnostic value of different sampling methods for candida pulmonary infection.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics of oral dosage of Posaconazole which is routinely administered as a standard care prophylaxis for patients undergoing cancer treatments.
