What happens in Europe stays in Europe: apparent evolution by an invader does not help at home.

Some invasive plant species rapidly evolve greater size and/or competitive ability in their nonnative ranges. However, it is not well known whether these traits transfer back to the native range, or instead represent genotype-by-environment interactions where traits are context specific to communities in the new range where the evolution occurred. Insight into transferability vs.

Transvaginal mesh surgery for pelvic organ prolapse does not affect sexual function at long term follow up.

Objective: Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) may impair sexual health. Though sexual dysfunction in women with POP is associated with reduced sexual arousal and dyspareunia, sexual outcomes have not been fully investigated. Transvaginal mesh repair (TVMR) is a POP therapeutic option, but is debated as a possible cause of worsening in sexual function.

Pacemaker dependency after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: incidence, predictors and long-term outcomes.

Aims: The aims of this study were to determine the appropriateness of permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after TAVI through an analysis of PM dependency at follow-up, and to assess long-term outcomes of patients undergoing PPI after TAVI.

Methods And Results: From June 2007 to February 2018, 1,116 consecutive patients without prior PM underwent TAVI in our institution. We assessed the incidence and predictors of PM dependency of patients who underwent PPI within 30 days, and also the six-year outcomes among patients who did not undergo PPI at 30 days.

Use of sigmoid colon in orthotopic neobladder reconstruction: Long-term results.

Objectives: To present our experience with a sigmoid orthotopic neobladder.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the functional and oncological outcomes of 160 patients who underwent orthotopic neobladder reconstruction using a detubularized 20-25-cm sigmoid segment at our institution. Each patient was evaluated every 3 months the first year, every 6 months for the next 4 years and annually thereafter.
