Filter by:Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) caused by Candida species, predominantly C. Albicans is considered one of the most common infections of the lower female genital tract affecting 75% of women at least once in their lifetime. Recurrent VVC (RVVC) is arbitrarily defined as four or more episodes every year. RVVC is a debilitating, long-term condition that can severely affect the quality of life of women. Several factors have been associated with RVVC such as prolonged use of antibiotics, inadequately treated infection, uncontrolled diabetes, immune mechanisms (e.g. HIV), oral contraceptive use as well as the resistance of non-albicans Candida species (e.g. C glabrata, C krusei) to conventional antifungal agents as azoles. Fluconazole administered orally is the most commonly used antifungal drug in the case of RVVC. However, in the last decade, fluconazole-resistant C Albicans has been reported in women with RVVC. Terconazole is a broad-spectrum, triazole antifungal treatment agent for both C Albicans and non-albicans. Its use (80 mg vaginal suppository daily for 6 days) was as effective as two doses of oral fluconazole (150 mg) in the treatment of patients with severe VVC and RVVC. Boric acid or boracic [B(OH)3] is a weak acid with proven antifungal action. In RVVC especially in azole-resistant strains and in non-Candida Albicans, 600 mg of the boric acid vaginal suppository is recommended once daily for 2 weeks. This regimen has a mycologic cure rate varied from 40% to 100%. However, there are no published studies comparing the intravaginal use of boric acid with terconazole for RVVC. Accordingly, a prospective randomized study in patients with RVVC will be conducted to address this important issue.
Although cleaning dentures by immersion in chemical denture cleaning solutions is effective in reducing the number of bacteria, a large number remains adhering to the denture surface. Thus, the mechanical cleansing of dentures is imperative to remove adherent microbes, and prevent diseases. This is not always easy to achieve, due to un-compliant patients, or patients with diminished manual dexterity (e.g. Mani phalanx dysfunction or Rheumatoid Arthritis) that often require assistance in cleaning their dentures, which may not always be available. Therefore, the modification of denture base materials to provide them with antibacterial properties to control oral biofilm formation, and producing dentures that can be cleaned by simply rinsing in water would prove to be valuable in oral hygienic management in complete denture-wearing patients.
Vaginal Candidiasis is an infection caused by a yeast normally lives inside the body . Sometimes Candida can multiply and cause an infection if the environment inside the vagina changes in a way that encourages its growth. Candidiasis in the vagina is commonly called a "vaginal yeast infection." Risk factor use of intra uterine devices , pregnancy ,use hormonal contraceptives ,have diabetes , immune compromised taken antibiotics Diagnosis cause itching or soreness Pain during sexual intercourse Pain or discomfort when urinating and abnormal vaginal discharge Although most vaginal candidiasis is mild, some women can develop severe infections involving redness, swelling, and cracks in the wall of the vagina
This study evaluate Candida Albicans growth on Bre-Flex versus PEEK denture base in Bilateral Maxillary bounded partial denture , half of patients will receive a framework with breflex denture base and the other half will receive a framework with PEEK denture base then evaluate the Candida growth
CelAgace™ OraRinse (silver citrate complex and acemannan) Solution is planned to be evaluated for safety and effectiveness as a potential treatment for candidiasis, a yeast infection, commonly known as thrush, which is associated with mouth sores.
This study is designed to determine whether micafungin is as efficacious as the current standard of fluconazole, to compare the safety of the two drugs in the treatment of proven neonatal candidiasis. It is also designed to further elucidate the pharmacokinetics of the two products in the growing and developing neonate and premature infant.
The purpose of this study is to determine the Efficacy, Tolerability & Safety of Combination of Clindamycin 100mg and Ketoconazole 400mg in Vaginal Capsules, used for 7 consecutive days in patients with Mixed-Type Vaginosis compared to Combination of Tetracycline 100mg and Amphotericin B 50mg in Vaginal Cream.
