Relationship Between the PERFECT Scheme, Vaginal Manometry, and Transperineal Ultrasound in Women With and Without Stress Urinary Incontinence: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare three assessment methods for pelvic floor function—PERFECT scheme, vaginal manometry, and transperineal ultrasound—in women with and without stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
- It involved a cross-sectional analysis of 51 women with SUI and 47 without, evaluating various pelvic floor metrics while excluding those with severe conditions.
- Results showed strong correlations among some measures of the PERFECT scheme and vaginal manometry in the SUI group, but no correlation between ultrasound variables and the other assessment methods.
Background: Considering that antimicrobial resistance among oral pathogens is a significant concern in dental practice, with broader implications for overall health due to the oral microbiota serving as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), research into natural products is crucial for addressing this issue.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate tea tree oil (TTO) and chitosan (CH) performance against oral pathogens, including mixed-species biofilm, and its effects on bacteria growth, in addition to chemical characterization and cytotoxicity of TTO.
Methods: Tea Tree Oil and low molecular weight chitosan were used in this study.
Article Synopsis
- * Diagnosis involves karyotyping and chromosomal analysis, but there's a need for better recognition of cases with mild symptoms.
- * The article presents a unique adult case of mosaic tetrasomy 9p in a patient with multiple pilomatrixomas, suggesting this condition could be a new hallmark of the syndrome.

Background: Cancer immunotherapy has had an important role in oncologic therapeutics for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using checkpoint inhibitors. We will explore the possible prognosis biomarker candidates such as: soluble OX40 (sOX40), OX40L (sOX40L), Glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor family-related receptor (GITR), and their ligand (GITRL), 4-1BB or tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily 9 (TNFRS9) and inducible T cell co-stimulator (ICOS) in peripheral blood of NSCLC patients.
Methods: Fifty-eight patients were diagnosed with advanced NSCLC between January 2019 and March 2020.
