Background: Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is the most prevalent cause of vaginal infection among women. This study aimed to summarize the evidence related to the effectiveness of medicinal plants as an alternative therapy for the management of BV.
Materials And Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Medline PubMed were systematically searched.
Trisomy 9 is a rare chromosomal abnormality that occurs in both mosaic and non-mosaic states. The present study reports a case of mosaic trisomy 9 detected during pregnancy in a 41-year-old woman in the second trimester screening. Maternal serum screening results were used to diagnose a chromosomal abnormality in utero.

- Bacterial vaginosis is a common vaginal infection in women, and a study tested the herbal remedy Cymbopogon olivieri against the standard treatment metronidazole for effectiveness.
- Both treatments were given over a 7-day period to 90 women, with the improvement assessed using Amsel's criteria for vaginosis.
- Results indicated that Cymbopogon olivieri was as effective as metronidazole in reducing symptoms and improving the condition, making it a viable treatment option.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined how prenatal exposure to valproic acid (VPA) affects inflammation, oxidative stress, and tissue damage in the brains and intestines of male and female rats.
- Pregnant Wistar rats were divided into two groups, receiving either saline or VPA; the offspring were tested at 60 days old, focusing on inflammation markers and tissue histopathology.
- Results showed increased inflammatory markers in both sexes, with significant oxidative stress and greater histopathological damage notably in male rats, highlighting the gender differences in the effects of VPA exposure.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effects of Miltefosine (MIL) and its modified version, liposomal Miltefosine (NMIL), on fetal organs in the context of leishmaniasis treatment, combining computational predictions and chicken embryo experiments.
- - Using in silico analysis, researchers evaluated the interaction of these drugs with important proteins related to leishmaniasis, and validated their predictions through practical tests that examined gene expression and tissue changes in treated embryos.
- - Findings indicate that NMIL is more effective than MIL in targeting critical leishmaniasis-related proteins and causes fewer harmful effects on vascular growth and increases in degenerative changes, suggesting it may be a safer treatment option for pregnant patients.
