Efficacy And Safety of Nifuratel-Nystatin in The Treatment of Mixed Vaginitis, in Pregnant Women From Quindío, 2013-2017. Randomized Clinical Trial


Women with abnormal vaginal discharge usually suffer from bacterial vaginosis (BV), vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), trichomonas vaginitis (TV) or any combination of these. Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of the combination nifuratel-nystatin with metronidazole -nystatin in the treatment of mixed vaginitis in pregnant women, and its adverse effects. Materials and methods: Randomized, double-blind, parallel-group clinical trial in 153 pregnant women, diagnosed with mixed vaginitis; in a complex private medical institution in Armenia (Colombia), between 2013 and 2017. The patients were randomized 1:1 to receive a daily intravginal egg for six days: nifuratel (500mg) - nystatin (200,000 IU) (Group "A") and metronidazole (500mg) - nystatin (100,000 IU) (Group "B"). A follow-up of the healing of symptoms was determined at one week and an evaluation of the microbiological negativization at one month. Safety was assessed based on reports of adverse events. Descriptive statistics were used.

Results: The mean age of the population was 27.59±3.71 years. The mean gestational age in group "A" was 18.56±2.87 weeks compared to 19.57±2.95 weeks in group "B" (p=0.87). The clinical cure rates at 7 days in group "A" were 84.61% vs. 81.33% in group "B", (p=0.91) The microbiological negativization at one month was 91.02% in group "A" vs. 86.66% in group "B", (p=0,072) The recurrence rate was 1.28% in group "A" vs. 5.33% in group "B", (p=0.37) Adverse events were present in the metronidazole-nystatin group, which were mild and self-limited. Conclusion: Both drugs have comparable efficacy and similar safety results in the treatment of mixed vaginitis in pregnant women; therefore, they can be used interchangeably. Studies in larger populations with a control group and random assignment are required to provide better evidence regarding this management.

 Lateral Rock Characteristic Evidence of Hydrocarbon Restoration from Post-Stack Impedance Inversion: A Case Study of ZED-field Offshore Niger Delta Lateral predictions of rock properties that are descriptive of a reservoir have been studied using a model-established seismic inversion approach that was used to convert input seismic data into an acoustic impedance structure to optimize hydrocarbon restoration in the field. This was actualized by integrating wireline logs and 3D post stack seismic data procured from ZED-Field offshore Niger Delta. The inversion system employed in this study comprises of forward modelling of reflection coefficients starting with a low-frequency impedance model induced from well logs and convolution of the reflection coefficients with the source wavelet extracted from the seismic input. P-impedance analysis at reservoir C5000 delineated from the control well gave a near perfect correlation of 0.998109 (≈ 99.8 %) between the original P-impedance log, in...

Prediction of Ionic Liquids Methane Hydrate Average Depression Temperature via COSMO-RS COSMO-RS is a tool used to pre-screen and pair ionic liquids for gas hydrate mitigation. However, the ionic liquids properties estimated from COSMO-RS lack direct connectivity to the determination of the safety margin (hydrate depression temperature) the inhibitor can alter on the hydrate phase boundary conditions. In this study, a parametric function that relates COSMO-RS estimated ionic liquid surface area and hydrogen bonding energies to the methane hydrate average depression temperature (∆T) have been presented. The statistical model in this study was developed using multiple linear regression techniques on about 90 data samples at 10 wt.% ionic liquids. The developed model in this work accurately predicts the methane hydrate average depression temperature with standard error of 3.14 and average deviation error of 0.92. Also, the ionic liquid surface area and hydrogen bonding energy contribute t...

 How to Treat Cancer Properly Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, chemotherapy is effective under some conditions, but has too heavy side effects, and it is not effective to a considerable proportion of cases while the side effects are often life-threatening, drugs (not unhealthy addictive drugs mentioned in reference four, the drug in reference four only mean those makes people addictive but does no good to health, destroying health quickly) are not always available to improve the condition. However, sport is a potential treatment that is effective to cancer before the cancer is disseminated, this gets little attention but is true both in theory and practice. The physical activities that have moderate intensity and duration should have devastating effects on cancer cells, they make the body hot and reduce the nutritional resources that cancer cells can get, also renew the proteins in the body and improve one’s mood, cancer cells are hard to live when one is activ...
