Associated factors and quality of life in women with urinary incontinence in southern Peru, 2023.

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI), which can be classified as stress, urgency, or mixed, represents a public health problem that mainly affects adult women. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, association of sociodemographic and obstetric factors with the types of UI as well as the perceived impact on quality of life of women attending primary health facilities in the Tacna region from Peru.

Methods: A quantitative, non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional study was conducted.

Revisiting the phylogeny of royal ferns (Osmundales) through the lens of character dependence and restudied fossil taxa questions existing family and subfamily concepts.

The royal ferns (Osmundales) are a morphologically diverse group of leptosporangiate ferns, the fossil record of which dates back to the Permian. Despite there being numerous described permineralized species, the phylogenetic relationships between extinct species remain contentious. Although several analytical approaches have been applied to infer well-resolved phylogenetic hypotheses-even methods that are arguably conceived to be better at dealing with data conflict and uncertainty, many taxa have not been assigned to specific taxonomic categories.

Main and Interactive Effects of Negative Posttraumatic Cognitions and Disgust Sensitivity in Predicting Daily Experiences of Sexual Trauma-Related Mental Contamination.

Trauma-related mental contamination, or a sense of dirtiness occurring without recent contact with a contaminant, is a distressing and often persistent phenomenon after sexual trauma. Following sexual trauma, cross-sectional work has demonstrated separate positive associations between mental contamination and 1) negative posttraumatic cognitions about oneself, the world, and/or self-blame and 2) disgust sensitivity - defined as the extent to which one is prone to distress when experiencing disgust. However, existing work has been primarily restricted to cross-sectional designs and has yet to consider the potential moderating role of disgust sensitivity in associations between negative posttraumatic cognitions and persistent mental contamination.

Injectable Intravitreal Fluocinolone Acetonide Implant for Chronic Postoperative CME in the Presence of Silicone Oil Tamponade.

Purpose: This report describes the use of the injectable intravitreal fluocinolone acetonide 0.18mg implant (FAI) for chronic postoperative cystoid macular edema (CME) in an eye with a silicone oil-filled vitreous cavity.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed including surgical, clinical, and imaging data.

Key concepts and a world-wide look at plant recruitment networks.

Plant-plant interactions are major determinants of the dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems. There is a long tradition in the study of these interactions, their mechanisms and their consequences using experimental, observational and theoretical approaches. Empirical studies overwhelmingly focus at the level of species pairs or small sets of species.
