Background/Objectives: Persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are the leading cause of cervical cancer. Developing evidence suggests that cervicovaginal microbiome plays a significant role in modulating HPV persistence and progression to neoplasia. This review synthesizes current knowledge on interplay between local immunity infections, emphasizing microbial diversity, immune responses, potential therapeutic implications. Methods: A thorough literature was performed using Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, encompassing studies published 2000 2024. Studies examining composition microbiome, HPV-related outcomes were evaluated synthesized into comprehensive review. Results: Lactobacillus-dominant particularly with L. crispatus, creates protective environment through lactic acid production, maintenance low pH, anti-inflammatory modulation, facilitating clearance. Dysbiosis, often characterized by dominance iners overgrowth anaerobic bacteria, fosters chronic inflammation, cytokine imbalance, microenvironment conducive progression. Hormonal changes menopause exacerbate these shifts, increasing risk lesions. suggest profiles antimicrobial peptides significantly influence further infection outcomes. Conclusions: The is critical determinant outcomes, for enhance responses prevent Personalized microbiome-targeted therapies may offer novel avenue managing reducing cancer incidence.

Background. Vaginal infection complicates the course of pregnancy and adversely affects perinatal outcomes for mother fetus. With global increase in microorganism resistance to antimicrobial drugs, treatment vaginitis pregnant women is not always effective, leading recurrent pathology. Therefore, seeking new therapeutic solutions a pressing task. Aim. To evaluate effectiveness form benzyl-dimethyl [3-(myristoylamino) propyl] ammonium chloride monohydrate (Miramistin® suppositories) women. Materials methods. A prospective study included 60 with confirmed diagnosis nonspecific vaginitis. All patients received therapy Miramistin® suppositories vaginally once day 7 days. Clinical dynamics microbiological characteristics vaginal biotope were assessed. Results. Disappearance or significant reduction clinical symptoms was noted 96.7% within two days from start treatment. The duration relapse-free period more than 4 weeks. No adverse drug reactions observed. There high satisfaction results among both physicians patients. Conclusion. Treating using an effective method controlling infection.

Successful embryo implantation relies on quality, endometrial receptivity, and the synchronized development of both. In recent years, methods for assessing receptivity have considerably advanced, shifting from traditional imaging techniques to modern molecular biology approaches. The evaluation thickness, morphology, subendometrial blood flow, peristalsis before has become less prominent, whereas markers such as pinopodes, integrin αvβ3, its ligand osteopontin, homologous box gene A10 are widely used in clinical practice receptivity. To provide a comprehensive overview, this narrative review systematically searched PubMed Web Science studies assessment infertile women over past two decades, with focus both experimental research. This examined advancements morphological markers, receptivity–related genes, microbiota, other emerging indicators, emphasizing their potential optimizing improving success rates assisted reproductive technologies. Notably, array testing uterine microbiome analysis gained substantial attention personalized diagnosis treatment. aims scientific insights precise infertility diagnostics individualized treatment strategies while offering recommendations future research development.

In spite of multipurpose technologies offering broad-spectrum prevention for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and contraception, the STIs incidences rise worldwide. The situation is even more alarming considering continuous in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) that limits therapy options. this review we address specific challenges efficiently treating vaginal locally, at infection site, by understanding underlying barriers to efficient treatment such as biofilms. Knowledge on biofilms remains, up now, rather scarce requires attention. We therefore propose a 'back basics' insight seeks probe complexity role microbiota, its relationship with implications future therapeutic modalities utilizing advanced nano delivery systems. Our key objective highlight interplay between biofilm, (nano)formulation outcome than provide an overview all nanoformulations were challenged against focused anatomy female reproductive organ physiological changes from birth, unique microenvironment premenopausal postmenopausal women, biofilm current nanomedicine-based approaches treat site. Finally, offer our perspectives associated considerations can aid design development safer potent products persisting infections.
