The Use of Transperineal Ultrasonography to Compare Relevant Factors for Postpartum Urinary Incontinence Related to Different Modes of Delivery.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Studies concerning the similarities and differences in relevant factors for PPUI in puerpera with delivery modes are scarce. This study aimed to investigate relevant factors for PPUI among primiparas grouped by different delivery modes using transperineal ultrasonography.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study.

Comparative prevalence of oral bacteria and protozoa in patients with periodontitis in Taiwan.

Objectives: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease caused by bacteria present in the dental biofilm. However, the presence of two oral protozoans, Entamoeba gingivalis and Trichomonas tenax, in patients with the periodontal disease remains largely unknown in Taiwan. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence of oral microbial infections between the sites with mild gingivitis and chronic periodontitis in patients.

The first study to detect co-infection of Entamoeba gingivalis and periodontitis-associated bacteria in dental patients in Taiwan.

Periodontitis, an inflammatory disease of the oral cavity, was caused by microbes from bacteria to protozoa. In this study, we detected protozoa, Entamoeba gingivalis and other three common pathogenic bacteria, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythia by the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on patients.
