Diagnostic value of voiding scores of the "International prostate symptom score" and the "Bristol female lower urinary system symptoms-short form" questionnaires in women with voiding dysfunction.

Introduction: We aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of International Prostate Symptom Score voiding symptom score (IPSS-VS) and Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms-short form voiding score (BFLUTS-VS) in female patients with urodynamically diagnosed voiding dysfunction.

Synthesis and characterization of polycaprolactone for anterior cruciate ligament regeneration.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most frequently torn ligament in the knee, and complete healing is unlikely due to lack of vascularization. Current approaches for the treatment of ACL injuries include surgical interventions and grafting, however recent reports show that surgeries have 94% recurrency, and that repaired tissues are biomechanically inferior to the native tissue. These necessitate the need for new strategies for scar-free repair/regeneration of ACL injuries.
