Comparison of quality of life after bladder augmentation in patients previously treated with intradetrusor botulinum toxin A for neurogenic detrusor overactivity.

Purpose: To compare the quality of life (QoL) in the same patients first treated with botulinum toxin A (BTA) injections for neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) and then with bladder augmentation (BA).

Method: Retrospective study of patients who had BA after BTA treatment between January 2012 and December 2022. Qualiveen Short Form questionnaires and a 7-level Likert/PGI-I scale to answer the question "How would you describe your quality of life after surgery compared to when you felt your best with BTA injections?" were collated and analyzed.

Prosthesis to Enable a Patient with Above-Elbow Amputation to Resume Hunting.

Background: Creating a custom prosthetic device is challenging. The requirements of the patient's life must be taken into consideration when manufacturing the device. After having met the requirements for an autonomous daily life, adjustments can be made for recreational activities.

Two new risk factors for heterotopic ossification development after severe burns.

Objectives: Life after severe burns is conditioned by the remaining sequelae. The pathophysiology and risk factors of Heterotopic Ossification (HO) after burns are still poorly understood. The aim of this study was to determine: 1) the incidence of HO after burns and 2) the risk factors associated with HO development, in a large retrospective study.
