Article Synopsis
- - The Symptoms of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Research Network (LURN) is starting a new study (LURN II) to investigate urinary urgency and incontinence by comparing cases and controls.
- - The study aims to improve the understanding of these difficult-to-treat symptoms by enhancing the phenotyping process.
- - The paper will discuss the reasons for this new research initiative and identify existing knowledge gaps related to the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms, particularly urinary urgency.
Article Synopsis
- - Ectopic prostatic tissue in females is uncommon and may originate from remnants of male developmental structures or hormonal changes in areas like the uterus and Skene's gland.
- - This case study discusses a female patient with ectopic prostatic tissue found in a urethral diverticulum who had undergone testosterone hormone therapy.
- - The findings suggest that ectopic prostatic tissue could be a possible cause of anterior vaginal cysts, particularly in women receiving testosterone supplementation.

Objective: The complexity and rapid pace of development of algorithmic technologies pose challenges for their regulation and oversight in healthcare settings. We sought to improve our institution's approach to evaluation and governance of algorithmic technologies used in clinical care and operations by creating an Implementation Guide that standardizes evaluation criteria so that local oversight is performed in an objective fashion.
Materials And Methods: Building on a framework that applies key ethical and quality principles (clinical value and safety, fairness and equity, usability and adoption, transparency and accountability, and regulatory compliance), we created concrete guidelines for evaluating algorithmic technologies at our institution.
Purpose: We compared fluctuations in treatment response after onabotulinumtoxinA and sacral neuromodulation for urgency incontinence using Markov models.
Materials And Methods: We fit data from a randomized trial to Markov models to compare transitions of success/failure over 6 months between 200 U onabotulinumtoxinA and sacral neuromodulation. Objective failure was <50% reduction in urgency incontinence episodes from baseline; subjective failure "strongly disagree" to "neutral" to the Patient Global Symptom Control questionnaire.
