Pelvic floor dysfunction and electrophysiology in postpartum women at 6-8 weeks.

To investigate the incidence of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) and electrophysiological indicators in postpartum women at 6-8 weeks and explore the influence of demographic characteristics and obstetric factors. A survey questionnaire collected information about the conditions of women during their pregnancy and puerperal period and their demographic characteristics; pelvic organ prolapse quantitation (POP-Q) and pelvic floor muscle electrophysiology (EP) examination were conducted in postpartum women at 6-8 weeks. Vaginal delivery was a risk factor for anterior pelvic organ prolapse (POP) (OR 7.

Exploring the blood volume amplitude and pulse transit time during anger recall in patients with coronary artery disease.

Background And Purpose: One psychopathological mechanism that links anger to coronary artery disease (CAD) is cardiac autonomic imbalance. Blood volume amplitude (BVA) and pulse transit time (PTT) are related to peripheral arterial elasticity and cardiac conduction, which are used as indirect markers for autonomic activation. The purposes of this study were to examine the relationships between BVA and PTT, and the reactivity of BVA and PTT during the anger recall task in patients with CAD.
