Exploring transvaginal sonographic characteristics of the levator ani muscle in women with postpartum pelvic floor myofascial pain.

Background: Pelvic floor myofascial pain is one of the pelvic floor dysfunction diseases disturbing women after delivery. There is a lack of objective standardization for the diagnosis of pelvic floor myofascial pain due to the various symptoms and the dependence on the palpating evaluation. Ultrasound imaging has the advantages of safety, simplicity, economy and high resolution, which makes it an ideal tool for the assistant diagnosis of pelvic floor myofascial pain and evaluation after treatment.

Relationship Between Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Postpartum Diastasis Recti Abdominis in Women in the First Year Postdelivery.

Objective: Postpartum diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) influences women's appearance and health. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can affect the structure of the rectus abdominis muscles. However, the relationship between GDM and postpartum DRA is unknown.

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells derived extracellular vesicles alleviate salpingitis by promoting M1-to-M2 transformation.

With an increasing number of patients experiencing infertility due to chronic salpingitis after (CT) infection, there is an unmet need for tissue repair or regeneration therapies. Treatment with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (hucMSC-EV) provides an attractive cell-free therapeutic approach. In this study, we investigated the alleviating effect of hucMSC-EV on tubal inflammatory infertility caused by CT using animal experiments.

Effect of Epidural Analgesia on Pelvic Floor Dysfunction at 6 Months Postpartum in Primiparous Women: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Introduction: Epidural analgesia has become a universal intervention for relieving labor pain, and its effect on the pelvic floor is controversial.

Aim: To investigate the effect of epidural analgesia on pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) in primiparous women at 6 months postpartum.

Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study involving 150 primiparous women in preparation for vaginal delivery, with 74 (49.

Sagittal Alignment Outcomes in Lordotic Cervical Spine: Does Three-Level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Outperform Laminoplasty?

Study Design: A prospective cohort study.

Objective: To compare the radiological outcomes between three-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and plate-only open-door laminoplasty (LAMP) in patients with lordotic cervical spine.

Summary Of Background Data: Both three-level ACDF and LAMP are important surgical methods for multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy, but the cervical sagittal alignment outcomes and the lordosis preserving abilities between the two specific approaches have not been carefully compared.
