Acute vulvovaginal candidiasis is a yeast infection, which affects the vagina and tissues present at the opening of the vulva. Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by yeast (type of fungus) called Candida, which is present in the human body. While, vulvovaginal candidiasis refers to the vaginal and vulval symptoms caused by Candida albicans. Candidiasis in the vagina is commonly called a vulvovaginal candidiasis or vaginal yeast infection. Symptoms of vulvovaginal candidiasis include external dysuria, dyspareunia, pruritus, vaginal soreness, and abnormal vaginal discharge.

Acute vulvovaginal candidiasis is commonly observed in women in the reproductive age group. It is quite uncommon in prepubertal and/or postmenopausal females. It can cause intense itchiness, inflammation, and a thick, white discharge from a vagina. Fluconazole, clotrimazole, and nystatin are some of the most commonly used drugs for the acute vulvovaginal candidiasis treatment. Apart from these, other drugs such as Terconazole, Terbinafine, Ketoconazole, and Miconazole are also available in the market for the acute vulvovaginal candidiasis treatment.

The global acute vulvovaginal candidiasis treatment is estimated to be valued at US$ 308.0 Mn in 2020 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.0% over the forecast period (2020-2027).

Vulvovaginal candidiasis is usually treated with antifungal medication. The oral triterpenoid agent, ibrexafungerp, is the first non-azole antifungal approved (by U.S. Food and Drug Administration) for vulvovaginal candidiasis and the first drug approved in a new antifungal class for vulvovaginal candidiasis in more than 20 years. Some women with infections opt for treatment with over-the-counter (OTC) medications, which generally are highly effective for candidiasis. Taking antifungal drug for 3 to 7 days usually clear a yeast infection.

A variety of factors can make a woman more susceptible to Acute Vulvovaginal Candidiasis Treatment, such as estrogen, antibiotic use, a change in immune function, and a history of recurrent infections with Candida. Some studies show that the presence of yeasts in the vaginal mucosa, called a yeast layer, is a risk factor for development of VVC. Over-the-counter creams and suppositories are often used to treat this condition before seeking medical care. One should consult a doctor immediately to be evaluated for other causes of vulvovaginal candidiasis.

Acute vulvovaginal candidiasis is a condition that occurs in up to 3 out of 4 women at some point during their life and can be triggered by a variety of factors. The condition usually responds quickly to antifungal therapy and has a high rate of cure, although some women may develop recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), which is defined as four or more episodes per year.

Bispecific Antibodies Are Used As Therapeutic Drugs While Treating Viral Infections, Oncology, And Auto-Immune Diseases

Image
  Bispecific Antibodies Bispecific antibodies are produced through cell fusion or recombinant DNA technologies. Bispecific antibodies are much more specific than monoclonal antibodies. Their applications in tumor immunotherapy are nearly limitless. As of today, seven bispecific antibodies have been approved by the FDA and EMA and over one hundred are in preclinical testing. Bispecific antibodies were initially developed using the quadroma technology. They contain two distinct antigen-binding arms, which enable them to bind to the target antigen while also activating an effector cell, which kills tumor cells. The primary antigen on the surface of the effector cell is called CD3, which is a popular target of immune cells. According to Coherent Market insights the Bispecific Antibodies Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. Many of these multi specific antibody formats have been developed over the past 30 years. These categories ...

  Organic Milk Organic Milk is milk made from livestock raised using organic farming practices. The use of the term "organic" is regulated by food authorities in most jurisdictions. Organic cows are not allowed to be given hormones, which stimulate milk production. Organic feed also must be grown without the use of synthetic pesticides. Organic cows must get a certain percentage of their diet from grazing, although most organic dairies supplement the grass with grain. However, organic grazing cows produce less milk than cows that eat a grain-based diet. Buying organic milk may be a better investment for your health. According to Coherent Market Insights the Organic Milk Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. The standards for organic milk are stringent. To meet the organic standard, a dairy farm cannot use any form of animal growth hormones or antibiotics. Organic cows must spend at least 30% of their lives on pasture. C...
