Article Abstract
Background: Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC) is one-third of vaginitis case. About 75% of women will have at least one episode of VVC. Complication of VVC can be unfavorable to impact the patient's quality of life. Knowing its risk factors can prevent someone suffering from pathological VVC and its sequelae. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors of VVC.
Materials And Methods: A descriptive retrospective study was conducted by total sampling to 213 medical records of VVC patients from 869 fluor albus patients in Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Division, Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, East-Java, Indonesia in 2011 to 2013.
Results: In 2011, 69 cases (22.77%) from 303 fluor albus patients, in 2012 69 cases (22.69%) from 304 fluor albus patients, and in 2013 75 cases (28.63%) from 262 fluor albus patients. As many as 180 (84.50%) of the patients were sexually active age group, which was 15-44 years old. Mostly patients were married (69.48%). As many as 167 (78.40%) sexual partners were patient's husband. About 95 (44.13%) patients presented with recurrent VVC. Risk factors are previous STIs 74 (34.74%), vaginal (27.70%), pre-martial sexual intercourse (5.63%), other STIs (3.29%), diabetes mellitus (2.34%), gestation (1.88%), other infections (0.94%), (0.47%), and STIs in sexual partner (0,47%).
Conclusion: Avoiding and/or managing risk factors is important to prevent VVC and its complications.

The ability to navigate through one's environment is crucial for maintaining independence in daily life and depends on complex cognitive and motor functions that are vulnerable to decline in persons with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). While previous research suggests a role for mobility in the physical act of navigation, it remains unclear to what extent mobility impairment and perceptions of mobility constraints may modify wayfinding and the recall of environment details in support of successful navigation. Therefore, this study examined the relations among clinical mobility function, concern about falling, and recall of environment details in a clinical sample of MS.

Walking is essential for maintaining independence and quality of life, yet aging may impair the neuromuscular function required for stable gait over time. This study sought to quantify age-related differences in step-to-step control during prolonged walking using detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). We hypothesized that step-to-step changes in step length and step width would exhibit reduced temporal persistence over time, with more pronounced effects in older than in younger adults.

The fragmented ecological environment in the mining ecosystem has a significant impact on the microbial community and affects ecosystem stability. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) facilitate nutrient exchange and element cycling between soil and plants, which play a crucial role in the functionality and stability of soil ecosystems. However, the mechanism of ecological environment factors influencing AMF community assembly in mining areas is still unclear.

Background: Disparities in cancer burden between transgender and cisgender individuals remain an underexplored area of research.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the cumulative incidence and associated risk factors for cancer and precancerous conditions among transgender individuals compared with matched cisgender individuals.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using patient-level electronic health record (EHR) data from the University of Florida Health Integrated Data Repository between 2012 and 2023.
