Vaginitis is a common condition that affects women; it is an inflammation of the vagina, an infection that creates abnormal discharge followed by irritations and itching. Being aware of the etiology and epidemiology of vaginitis is very crucial for successful diagnosis, treatment, and public health intervention. These are the three most common types of infections responsible for vaginitis-bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, and trichomoniasis. Therefore, this review of literature tries to consolidate findings of research already done on vaginitis epidemiology, pinpoints areas where more research might be needed due to lack of information.

Myocardial infarction can present to the emergency room in the form of various complications. Anterior wall MI is notorious for producing mechanical complications like ventricular free wall rupture, ventricular septum rupture, and papillary muscle rupture. Inferior wall MI is usually associated with conduction abnormalities like heart blocks. Here, reperfusion of the myocardium and concurrent management of the complication should go hand in hand. We had a patient presenting to the ER with an ECG that was confusing between a PSVT and VT which when reverted revealed an anterior wall MI. The patient was salvaged with prompt revascularization.

Total solar radiation contains approximately 10% ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet rays have benefits such as providing warmth, light, and helping to synthesise vitamin D3. However, ultraviolet rays can also have negative impacts on the skin such as browning, hyperpigmentation, erythema, and premature ageing. Natural sunscreens with high SPF are useful in reducing the negative effects of ultraviolet rays. This study aims to determine anti-UV activity, SPF value, and assessment of human skin irritation or allergy to sunscreen cream from Ipomoea pes-caprae leaves. Anti-UV activity test and SPF value determination were carried out in vitro using UV-Vis Spectrophotometry. Irritation testing was conducted using the patch test method for 6 hours. The results showed that Ipomoea pes-caprae has anti-UV-A and anti-UV-B activities. Ipomoea pes-caprae leaf extract provides extra protection at a concentration of 2000 ppm. The irritation test of the cream on human skin found no skin abnormalities such as edema, urticaria, irritation and edema.

Triglycerides, the principal form of fat storage in animals and humans, are essential in view of their roles in energy metabolism and regulation. Indeed, they have been ascribed very vital functional significance in a plethora of physiological processes, which extends to energy storage, metabolic signaling, and disease pathology. Biochemistry and metabolism of triglycerides is a multivaried area of science that includes different mechanisms that control synthesis, storage, and utilization in organisms. For many years, the issue of triglycerides and their relationship to cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been one of the central themes of research. Elevated triglyceride levels frequently associate with an elevated cardiovascular risk, but the situation is complex and multifaceted at all. It has now been reported that triglycerides could act not only as a biomarker regarding cardiovascular risk but also play an actual part in the fostering of cardiovascular disorders. The present literature review juxtaposes key findings on triglyceride metabolism, thereby underlining implications for health and disease, with the end to identify works currently associating triglyceride implications in cardiovascular health, and further to explore determinants of triglyceride levels gap that warrant further investigation.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of varying doses of vitamin D3 on the duodenum, jejunum, and colon of female albino rats. Female albino rats received oral administration of vitamin D3 at concentrations of 5,000 IU, 7,500 IU, and 10,000 IU over a period of six weeks. Histological examination of most treatment groups revealed symptoms such as infiltration of inflammatory cells in the submucosal region and villi, along with edema and congestion.

Staphylococcus aureus is amongst the leading human bacterial pathogens, causing diseases that range from small skin infections to severe systemic conditions. The high pathogenicity of S. aureus is due to its exquisite virulence armament, including adhesion proteins, toxins, and antibiotic resistance traits. The surface-associated polysaccharides of S. aureus are one critical aspect concerning virulence and biofilm development. This paper provides a synthesis of recent research concerning the virulence factors of S. aureus with the aim to focus on their pathogenic roles along with treatment implicative and existing gap.

To investigates the relationship between temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) and perceived stress levels in COVID-19 patients. Forty-five COVID-19 patients (19 males and 26 females) involved, and their joint problem severity was recorded using the Helkimo Index, while the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) assessed their stress levels. Most patients had moderate to severe TMD. The results showed a significant difference in PSS-10 scores across different groups, with the lowest stress levels in group with mild dysfunction and the highest in those with severe dysfunction. The findings support the association between TMD and psychological stress, emphasizing the need to address stress in TMD treatment for improved patient outcomes.

Ebstein’s anomaly (EA) is a rare congenital heart defect usually presenting around birth years, where in the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve are displaced towards the apex of the right ventricle, atrializing the right ventricle. Although it accounts for only about 0.5% of congenital heart defects, only 5% of patients are known to survive beyond the fifth decade of life. [1] We present the case report of a patient with Ebstein’s anomaly surpassing the sixth decade of life highlighting the importance of regular cardiac surveillance enabling increased lifespan of patients with the disease.

This study aims to reveal the effects of daily oral hygiene practices on the prevalence of ?oral antibiotic-resistant bacteria among dental hygiene students. ? Methods. Obtain different data analysis from different sources of Oral Hygiene Practices on Antibiotic-?Resistant to Oral Bacteria in Students, perform antibiotic susceptibility testing to determine the resistance patterns of the detected oral bacteria. Administer a survey to gather information on students’ oral hygiene practices. Analyze the collected data using appropriate statistical techniques. Results. Many organisms of the normal oral microbiota contribute to oral health, including key ?components of the oral microbiota such as streptococci. ? The mucous membranes that line the oral cavity contain more than 700 bacterial complexes, estimated at 10^11-10^12 CFU/mL, which are the reservoir for pathogenic bacteria. Oral bacterial flora may play a substantial role in the development of systemic diseases with a low percentage and low counts (owners of strains 36 and 160 MDR, as well as CR strains), or no potential at all. In practice, the individualization of antibacterial therapy is complicated by a lack of objective criteria to assess the resistance of oral cavity bacteria to antibiotics. Conclusions. The data analysis demonstrates a significant association between oral ?hygiene practices and the presence of antibiotic-resistant oral bacteria. This study has ?important implications for students suffering from oral diseases (such as dental caries) ?and practicing poor hygiene (such as not brushing and flossing regularly). It also has ?implications for global-scale impact, contributing to the growing concern of antibiotic ?resistance worldwide.
