Purpose: While pump manipulation is rarely problematic in male patients with artificial urinary sphincters (AUSs), the situation may differ in female patients due to anatomical or cultural factors. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of difficulties in pump manipulation among female AUS patients, identify associated risk factors, and explore management strategies for this challenging issue.
Methods: Data were collected from all female patients who underwent a robotic AUS implantation at a single academic center between 2014 and 2022.
Introduction/background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. The AF Atrial Fibrillation Registry, which commenced in June 2023, was designed to provide clinical epidemiological data on patients with AF in the country.
Objective(s): The objective is to describe the rationale, design, and early findings from the registry.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic heart failure (CHF) presents distinct gender-specific factors that impact patient care, yet women are underrepresented in related studies, highlighting a need for more focused research.
- This study examines 1,290 CHF patients to analyze gender differences in causes, comorbidities, treatment, and one-year mortality rates.
- Findings reveal that men, who made up 55.8% of the study group, generally had worse health outcomes, prevalent comorbidities, and higher mortality rates compared to women, suggesting significant gender disparities in CHF profiles.
Introduction: The incidence of anaemia and its consequences are often underestimated during cancer management. We propose to evaluate the situation before and after the recommendations were updated in order to assess their impact on the day-to-day practice.
Methods: In this single-centre retrospective study, eligible patients were treated for cancer and warranted overnight hospitalization over two periods (n = 206 in 2011, n = 143 in 2018).
