“…Microbiology services of Spain usually look for T. vaginalis isolation in vaginal swabs, using traditional techniques like direct microscopy or culture following the protocols described by the Spanish Society of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology [ 30 ]. However, even when the microscopic methods are often set, it does not have high sensitivity (40–70%), depending on many factors [ 59 ]. Fortunately, many Microbiology Services are setting biomolecular techniques with high sensitivity and specificity for STI infections, and multiplex PCR is becoming an interesting alternative to detect more than one genitourinary pathogen simultaneously from one sample [ 60 , 61 ].…”

More than one million sexually transmitted infections (STIs) occur every day, and Trichomonas vaginalis is responsible for more than 156 million cases each year worldwide. Nevertheless, epidemiological studies of this parasite in Europe are scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have had in the diagnosis and epidemiology of trichomoniasis. All available data from January 2018 to December 2021 for T. vaginalis isolation on gynecologic patients attending a Spanish Tertiary Hospital were analyzed. Pre-pandemic results (2018–2019) were compared to pandemic results (2020–2021). The pre-pandemic T. vaginalis prevalence in women was 1.15% (95% Confidence Interval, CI: 0.94–1.41), and significantly decreased in 2020–2021 (0.77%, 95% CI: 0.57–1.03; p = 0.025). Demographic nor clinical characteristics of women diagnosed with trichomoniasis did not statistically differ between the periods, although an increase in chlamydia co-infected patients was observed in the latest (from 8% in 2018–2019 to 19% in 2020–2021). This study has detected a decrease in the diagnosis of trichomoniasis; however, this is probably due to the increase in the healthcare pressure triggered by the pandemic. More than 75% of the cases diagnosed in 2021 occurred in the second half, which suggests that special attention should be given to the evolution in the coming years once normality has been restored in hospitals. Moreover, these results warn of the lack of routine diagnosis of trichomoniasis during pregnancy and the absence of specific protocols for possible co-infections, which could become a strategy to reduce the growing trend of STIs, including T. vaginalis detection, as an interesting marker of sexual risk behaviors.

“…Organic ferric agents are mainly some small molecular organic acid ferric salts, such as ferrous fumarate (43.4%), ferric albuminate (7%) and Fe-Gly [11] . Studies have shown that Fe-Gly iron is better absorbed than FeSO4 iron [12] .However, recently, many new iron supplements have appeared, such as the chelation of iron with peptides derived from proteins in hydrolyzed foods, and the conversion of iron into organic iron by cells [13][14] .…”

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the most serious forms of malnutrition.Wild type strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have higher tolerance to inorganic iron and higher iron conversion and accumulation capacity.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of yeast iron as a potential organic iron supplement on mice with iron deficiency anemia.60 male KM mice were randomly divided into normal control group and iron deficiency diet model group to establish IDA model. After the model was established, IDA mice were randomly divided into 5 groups: normal control group, IDA group, organic iron (Fe-Gly) group, inorganic iron (FeSO4) group and yeast iron (Fe-F8) group.Mice in the experimental group were given different kinds of iron by intragastric administration once a day for 4w.The results showed that Fe-F8 had an effective recovery function, and the body weight and hematological parameters of IDA mice returned to normal levels. The activities of malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and total antioxidant capacity in serum were increased.In addition, Fe-F8 was more effective in alleviating IDA and improving organ indices with fewer side effects compared to ferrous glycinate and ferrous sulfate groups. This study suggests that the iron-rich strain F8 may play an important role in improving IDA mice and may be developed as a new iron supplement.
