Postpartum urinary retention: a survey of obstetrics and gynaecology residents in the United States.

Postpartum urinary retention (PUR) is a common and potentially morbid condition if not recognised and managed promptly. We surveyed obstetrics and gynaecology (OBGYN) residents to determine residents' knowledge of the management of PUR. A total of 168 OBGYN residents in ACGME accredited programmes in the United States completed the survey.

Audiovisual stimulus during urodynamics to provoke detrusor overactivity: A randomized trial.

Objective: This study estimated the effect of adding an audiovisual (AV) intervention during urodynamic evaluation (UDE) on increasing detrusor contractions (DO) versus routine UDE testing without AV cues.

Methods: A randomized trial was conducted of women with overactive bladder (OAB) undergoing UDE with and without AV intervention. The AV intervention was a 1-minute video on continuous loop showing common OAB triggers.

Assessment of serum HE4 levels throughout the normal menstrual cycle.

Background: Human epididymis protein 4 is a serum biomarker to aid in differentiating benign and malignant disease in women with a pelvic mass. Interpretation of human epididymis protein 4 results relies on robust normative data.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether human epididymis protein 4 levels are variable in women during the normal menstrual cycle.
