    Abstract Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) due to fluconazole resistance in Candida albicans isolates causes a wide range of complications. A number of 63 Candida albicans isolates obtained from vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) were identified by Internal Transcribed Spacer-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (ITS-RFLP). Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed by broth microdilution method according to the CLSI protocol. The role of CDR1 and MDR1 genes in progress of VVC to RVVC was examined and the activity of virulence-related enzymes was assessed. Candida albicans was diagnosed in 62.4 % cases, of which 22.2 % were confirmed as RVVC. Voriconazole was the most active drug among five tested antifungals. The mean expression level of CDR1 and MDR1 was higher in RVVC isolates compared to multidrug azole-resistant VVC isolates. Our results demonstrated that the expression of CDR1 and MDR1 and the level of phospholipase and proteinase activities could be quite important to induce fluconazole resistance in C. albicans and to progress of VVC to become RVVC in involved patients.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to evaluate retrospectively the outcomes of Abobotulinumtoxin-A (Dysport®) intravesical injection in refractory interstitial cystitis/ bladder pain syndrome patients to first- and second-line treatment.
    Materials and methods: From March 2016 to 2021, 44 adult patients with bladder pain syndrome who were refractory to first- and second-line treatment were enrolled in our study. The Bladder Pain/Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Score questionnaire was filled out for every patient before and 1-3 months after intervention in addition to urodynamic evaluation. Patient satisfaction was evaluated using a scoring system that was defined as high or >80% improvement (highly satisfied), intermediate 40%-79% (intermediate satisfaction), and poor 0%-39% improvement.
    Results: The mean age of our study population was 57 years, including 41 females and 3 males. The mean follow-up time was 9 months. According to the results of urodynamics, 68% of cases had low capacity, and detrusor overactivity, while 18% had only low capacity. In terms of the endpoint outcome, half of the patients (52%) had intermediate satisfaction, whereas 41% reported a good response. Only 3 cases had no response or felt (7%) any improvement after the intervention (poor response). The paired t-test analysis revealed that the mean Bladder Pain/Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Score was reduced after injection (P = .001).
    Conclusion: Our results showed the efficacy and safety of intravesical injections with Abobotulinumtoxin-A (Dysport®) in patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome. Further randomized controlled trials are recommended to investigate its superiority over placebo considering the need for anesthesia, the occurrence of local complications, risks of urinary retention, and a large post-void residual (PVR) volume.

  5. Article ; Online: Relationships between COVID-19 healthcare outcomes and county characteristics in the U.S. for Delta (B.1.617.2) and Omicron (B.1.1.529 and BA.1.1) variants.

    Abstract Background: COVID-19 is constantly evolving, and highly populated communities consist of many different characteristics that may contribute to COVID-19 health outcomes. Therefore, we aimed to (1) quantify the relationships between county characteristics and severe and non-severe county-level health outcomes related to COVID-19. We also aimed to (2) compare these relationships across time periods where the Delta (B.1.617.2) and Omicron (B.1.1.529 and BA.1.1) variants were dominant in the U.S.
    Methods: We used multiple regression to measure the strength of relationships between healthcare outcomes and county characteristics in the 50 most populous U.S. counties.
    Results: We found many different significant predictors including the proportion of a population vaccinated, median household income, population density, and the proportion of residents aged 65+, but mainly found that socioeconomic factors and the proportion of a population vaccinated play a large role in the dynamics of the spread and severity of COVID-19 in communities with high populations.
    Discussion: The present study shines light on the associations between public health outcomes and county characteristics and how these relationships change throughout Delta and Omicron's dominance. It is important to understand factors underlying COVID-19 health outcomes to prepare for future health crises.

    Abstract Introduction: COVID-19 vaccine inequities have been widespread across California, the United States, and globally. As COVID-19 vaccine inequities have not been fully understood in the youth population, it is vital to determine possible factors that drive inequities to enable actionable change that promotes vaccine equity among vulnerable minor populations.
    Methods: The present study used the social vulnerability index (SVI) and daily vaccination numbers within the age groups of 12-17, 5-11, and under 5 years old across all 58 California counties to model the growth velocity and the anticipated maximum proportion of population vaccinated.
    Results: Overall, highly vulnerable counties, when compared to low and moderately vulnerable counties, experienced a lower vaccination rate in the 12-17 and 5-11 year-old age groups. For age groups 5-11 and under 5 years old, highly vulnerable counties are expected to achieve a lower overall total proportion of residents vaccinated. In highly vulnerable counties in terms of socioeconomic status and household composition and disability, the 12-17 and 5-11 year-old age groups experienced lower vaccination rates. Additionally, in the 12-17 age group, high vulnerability counties are expected to achieve a higher proportion of residents vaccinated compared to less vulnerable counterparts.
    Discussion: These findings elucidate shortcomings in vaccine uptake in certain pediatric populations across California and may help guide health policies and future allocation of vaccines, with special emphasis placed on vulnerable populations, especially with respect to socioeconomic status and household composition and disability.
