Presentation
Abstract We present a 9-month-old exclusively breast-fed baby of a strict vegetarian mother who had excluded all animal proteins from her diet. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
The workup for patients with vaginitis depends on the risk factors for infection and the age of the patient. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
Regular monitoring of vitamin B-12 status is thus potentially beneficial for early detection and treatment of metabolic vitamin B-12 deficiency in vegans, and possibly for prevention of atherosclerosis-related diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
What is the treatment? The treatment is based entirely on the diagnosis. For each one of the conditions above, a different treatment is prescribed. Infection – usually an antibiotic or antifungal treatment. [issvd.org]
Treatment A variety of organisms and conditions can cause vaginitis, so treatment targets the specific cause: Bacterial vaginosis. [mayoclinic.org]
Prognosis
The incidence is 9% in whites and 16% in Hispanics. [4] Prognosis Overall, the prognosis is very good: most of those infected are cured. However, recurrent vaginal infections can lead to chronic irritation, excoriation, and scarring. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Although the prognosis of meningitis is good, encephalitis and myelitis often result in sequelae, and a delay in the initiation of acyclovir treatment leads to poor prognosis. [intechopen.com]
Despite encountering VZV infections in patients with worse expected prognosis, the OS in patients who developed VZV infection was superior to that in patients who never developed the infection [19]. [heighpubs.org]
Etiology
There is considerable evidence that neural hypoxia, secondary to impaired endoneurial microcirculatory perfusion, is a crucial etiologic factor in diabetic neuropathy; the unfavorable impact of diabetes on hemorheology would be expected to exacerbate [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology Approximately 90% of all cases of vaginitis are thought to be attributable to 3 causes: bacterial vaginosis, vaginal candidiasis (or vulvovaginal candidiasis [VVC]), and Trichomonas vaginalis infection (trichomoniasis). [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology
BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic evidence, reinforced by clinical and laboratory studies, shows that the rich Western diet is the major underlying cause of death and disability (e.g, from cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes) in Western industrialized [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

EPIDEMIOLOGY: Varicella-zoster infections occur worldwide. Varicella/chickenpox is more common in temperate climates than in tropical countries. [canada.ca]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology A complex and intricate balance of microorganisms maintains the normal vaginal flora. Important organisms include lactobacilli, corynebacteria, and yeast. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
Abstract The aim of these studies was to evaluate the potential of some nutritional approaches to prevent or reduce the body load of organochlorines (OC) in humans. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
There are several reasons why a vegan diet may help prevent or control type 2 diabetes. [everydayhealth.com]
