Association of Body Image and Genital Self-Image with Female Sexual Function: A Systematic Review.

The aim of this study was to identify, through a systematic review, how perceptions of genital and body self-image can influence the sexual function of young adult women. A systematic review was performed in which 704 studies were selected. After analyzing the articles, only 10 articles were included, from which the data for this research were extracted.

Autonomic modulation of heart rate during physical activity in pregnant women: A systematic review of literature.

Background: There are important physiological changes in the heart rate autonomic modulation in pregnant women and these changes may affect the way their bodies respond to exercise stimulus. The objective of this review is to verify the physical exercise influence on autonomic modulation of heart rate in pregnant women.

Methods: This study is a Systematic Review.

Is prehospital physical performance a predictor of functional capacity decline at discharge in hospitalized Brazilian older adults?

Background: Hospitalization contributes to functional decline in older adults.

Objective: To assess the relationship between physical performance on admission and functional capacity and functional capacity decline at discharge, and to investigate tools capable of predicting this decline.

Methods: Prospective longitudinal study with 75 older adults admitted to a public hospital between July 2021 and February 2022.

The effectiveness of interventions in the prevention of perineal trauma in parturients: A systematic review with meta-analysis.

Aim: To investigate the effectiveness of interventions to prevent the occurrence of perineal trauma in parturients.

Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out in Cochrane Library, MEDLINE via PUBMED, LILACS via Virtual Health Library (VHL), Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, Scielo, Web of Science, and PEDro databases. Randomized clinical trials evaluating the effects of any intervention to prevent perineal trauma during pregnancy and/or childbirth were included.

The impact of heart failure on the sexual response cycle: A systematic review.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is the most prevalent disease among chronic diseases and has been associated with a high prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED).

Objective: this study aims to analyze research that has as its object of study the sexual activity of patients with HF.

Methods: A high-sensitivity search was performed in databases (PUBMED via MEDLINE, Cochrane, EMBASE, Web of Science, SCOPUS AND CINAHL) using descriptors linked to sexuality and heart failure.

Effectiveness of Pilates and circuit-based exercise in reducing arthralgia in women during hormone therapy for breast cancer: a randomized, controlled trial.

Objective: To investigate the effect of Pilates compared with circuit-based exercise in reducing arthralgia in women during hormone therapy for breast cancer.

Design: Single-blind randomized controlled trial, parallel.

Setting: University hospital of Brasilia and Brazilian Association for Assistance to People with Cancer.

Exercise regimens other than pelvic floor muscle training cannot increase pelvic muscle strength-a systematic review.

Background: Although pelvic floor muscle training is widely recommendedin the literature as the gold standard for the treatment of pelvic floor dysfunctions, such as urinary incontinence, interest in other exercise regimens is increasing. However, it is unknown whether other exercise regimens increase pelvic floor muscle strength.

Methods: This was a systematic review of randomized clinical trials found in PEDro, tridatabase, Cochrane and PubMed on the efficacy of nonspecific exercises, such as Pilates, the Paula method, and hypopressive exercises, in strengthening pelvic floor muscles in adults without underlying neurological disorders and with or without pelvic floor dysfunction.

Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation versus parasacral stimulation in the treatment of overactive bladder in elderly people: a triple-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) and transcutaneous parasacral stimulation on the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) in elderly people and to compare the final results between groups.

Methods: Fifty female volunteers, mean age 68.62 (±5.

Relationship between anxiety and overactive bladder syndrome in older women.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between overactive bladder syndrome and anxiety in older women.

Methods: Of the 198 older women who were invited, 29 were excluded and 166 were then divided into two groups according to the Advanced Questionnaire of Overactive Bladder (OAB-V8): one group with overactive bladder symptoms (OAB-V8≥8) and the other without the symptoms of an overactive bladder (OAB-V8<8). The purpose was to conduct a frequency analysis and to investigate the relation of the social demographic data and anxiety in the two groups.
