Objective: : To identify whether an association exists between post-void urinary leakage and/or coital incontinence and the diagnosis of intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) among women with urinary incontinence.
Methods: : Ninety women presenting to a tertiary urogynecology office with complaints of urinary incontinence were included in this retrospective chart review. All patients underwent a complete history and physical examination, including direct questioning about the symptoms of post-void leakage and coital incontinence.
Background: Walking is a key focus of public health interventions yet is particularly uncommon in rural residents. This study's purpose was to determine whether a multilevel community intervention affected rates of moderate physical activity, in particular walking.
Methods: A quasi-experimental design examined changes in walking in six rural intervention communities in Missouri and six comparison communities in Arkansas and Tennessee in 2003-2004.
