Validation and cultural translation for the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Short questionnaires are important for validating the clinical diagnosis of urinary incontinence (UI). We sought to validate and culturally translate the Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID) for the Brazilian Portuguese language.

Methods: A cross-sectional study with 457 women (330 with urinary incontinence and 127 controls) was performed in a Southeastern Brazilian outpatient clinic.

Manual lymphatic drainage and multilayer compression therapy for vulvar edema: a case series.

Background And Objective: Vulvar edema is a condition rarely reported and without defined treatment that may result in functional limitation. The aim of the report is to describe a case series of patients with disabling vulvar edema of different etiologies that were treated with manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and multilayer compression therapy (MCT).

Case Series: Four cases of vulvar edema are described: one in a woman with cervical cancer; one in a woman in the postoperative period of bilateral adrenalectomy for pheocromocytoma; and two in pregnant women with preeclampsia.
