A patient with persistent refractory headaches from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage was treated with monthly erenumab injections, a monoclonal antibody to the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor. These injections decreased the frequency and severity of the patient's debilitating headaches from daily to once or twice per month with positive improvement in function and quality of life. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature of a patient with persistent post-subarachnoid hemorrhage headache that was successfully treated with an antibody against the CGRP receptor.

Importance: Understanding the diagnostic accuracy of postoperative trial of void (TOV) parameters is important for decision making related to postoperative catheterization.
Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the diagnostic accuracies of common postoperative TOV parameters.
Design: The study population comprised a prospective cohort undergoing outpatient urogynecologic procedures at a tertiary referral center from September 2018 to June 2021.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Sacrocolpopexy (SCP) is the gold standard surgical management of apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP), and increasingly, minimally invasive SCP is being adopted as a primary treatment for advanced uterovaginal prolapse. Patients undergoing surgery for POP consider postoperative improvement in sexual function to be a highly important outcome, and sexual dysfunction and dyspareunia severe adverse events. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the impact of minimally invasive SCP on postoperative sexual function.

- Leiomyomas can cause lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), but this study aimed to better understand their specific effects by comparing patients undergoing hysterectomy for leiomyomas to those with abnormal uterine bleeding.
- The study found no significant difference in baseline LUTS prevalence between the two groups, but larger leiomyomas (greater than 6 cm) were linked to a higher prevalence of LUTS, including issues like difficulty passing urine and frequent urination.
- The research indicates that patients with larger or multiple leiomyomas are more likely to experience LUTS, warranting further studies to assess how these symptoms change after hysterectomy.
