Management of trichomoniasis in the setting of 5-nitroimidazole hypersensitivity.
Metronidazole and other 5-nitroimidazoles are the mainstay of Trichomonas vaginalis treatment, with few efficacious and safe treatment options available outside of this class. Patients with trichomoniasis and a history of a clinically confirmed hypersensitivity reaction to 5-nitroimidazoles present a management challenge for clinicians. In this study, the investigators examine management of Trichomoniasis in the setting of 5-nitroimidazole hypersensitivity.

Antihypertensive medications and sexual function in women: baseline data from the SBP intervention trial (SPRINT).
The researchers evaluated the relations among class of antihypertensive medication from women in the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) and the outcomes: sexual activity and sexual function. There were no significant differences in sexual activity among women taking one or more antihypertensives and women not taking any. Women taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker had higher odds of sexual activity. The authors concluded that no single class of antihypertensive medication was associated with sexual dysfunction.
