Disturbance of the vaginal microbiome and the risk of HIV infection in women: analysis of scientific studies
... to HIV infection is the composition of the vaginal microbiome, which can influence the local immune cell population and inflammation status. While a low diversity microbial composition dominated by Lactobacillus crispatus is associated with a reduced risk of HIV infection, a high microbial diversity environment associated with bacterial vaginosis increases the risk of HIV infection. Given the important role of the vaginal microbiome in determining HIV susceptibility, changing the microbiome towards Lactobacillus spp. dominance is an attractive additional ...

The impact of lighting modes in urban environment on adaptation capabilities of young people: an ecological aspect
... functioning of the main regulatory systems of the body under changing lighting conditions. The study reveals that artificial light exposure disrupts normal biorhythmological processes, weakens the body’s resistance to external stressors, and increases the risk of pathological conditions. The results highlight the role of natural lighting cycles in maintaining normal homeostasis and ecological stability of the human body in a modern urbanized environment. Prolonged exposure to complete darkness exerts a destabilizing effect on the autonomic nervous system, reducing the body’s adaptive capacity. This leads to an imbalance between sympathetic and parasympathetic regulation, manifested in increased ...
