Analysis of vaginal microbiota during postpartum and postmenopausal periods based on metagenomics.

Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Beijing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, 100026, China.
Background: Postmenopausal and the postpartum periods are essential physiological phases that result in low estrogen levels in women; however, they are important to female reproductive health. Traditional as well as new detection methods (such as 16 S RNA sequencing) have limitations in detecting the composition of vaginal microbiota. Therefore, in this study, we used metagenomic detection technology to study the composition of vaginal microbiota in postmenopausal and postpartum women.

Article Synopsis
- Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) primarily affects the reproductive organs and is common in endemic areas, posing significant risks to reproductive health; travelers can also contract FGS from exposure to contaminated water in these regions.
- A review of the literature identified 38 cases of FGS in travelers, with the vulva being the most affected area, indicating that many diagnoses were incorrect initially, leading to delays in treatment.
- The study concluded that FGS in travelers shares similar characteristics with endemic cases, but the lack of timely diagnosis underscores the need for better awareness and inclusion of FGS in diagnostic protocols for returning female travelers.

Introduction And Importance: Rhabdomyosarcoma [RMS] is a malignant soft-tissue neoplasm characterized by skeletal muscle differentiation. It accounts for 7 % of childhood malignancies and is, by a wide margin, the most common sarcoma of childhood (Pappo, 1996). Approximately 20 % of cases of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma occur in the genitourinary tract (vagina, urinary bladder, prostate, paratestis, and uterus), and they are most commonly observed in the head and neck region.
