Introduction And Hypothesis: The high recurrence rate (up to 40%) of native tissue surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is concerning and a better understanding of the effect of surgery is essential in optimizing treatment. As physical examination (Pelvic Organ Prolapse-Quantification, POP-Q) underestimates the degree of prolapse, upright assessment may provide new insights. Therefore, we compared supine POP-Q with upright magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the anatomical effect of native tissue POP surgery on the pelvic anatomy.

Anidulafungin has poor oral bioavailability, with hardly any available information on how it affects breast milk, oral absorption, or gastrointestinal side effects in the infant. A 40-year-old woman who recently gave birth to a healthy infant was treated for a period of 14 days for a C with 100 mg anidulafungin once a day. The department of clinical pharmacy was consulted to provide advice on how long the patient had to wait after ceasing anidulafungin before it was safe to start breastfeeding, with regard to preventing possible side effects of the drug to the infant, such as diarrhea or cholestasis and increase in liver enzyme values.
