Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of iltamiocel, an autologous muscle cell therapy, for treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women, comparing it to a placebo group.
- - Results showed no significant difference in the overall reduction of stress incontinence episodes between groups, but iltamiocel was more effective in women with previous SUI surgeries, indicating potential benefits for this specific population.
- - While the primary endpoint was not achieved, iltamiocel therapy was deemed safe, suggesting further research is needed for women with prior SUI surgery who lack effective treatment options.
Purpose: We report 6-month efficacy and safety outcomes of selective bladder denervation in women with refractory overactive bladder.
Materials And Methods: Women with refractory overactive bladder and urgency urinary incontinence were enrolled in 2 prospective feasibility studies with the same entry criteria. They underwent selective bladder denervation of the subtrigonal region containing afferent sensory nerves.
Introduction And Hypothesis: The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the prevalence and associated risk factors for urinary incontinence in a Northern Plains tribe of American Indian women.
Methods: The Urogenital Distress Inventory-Short Form was used to assess urinary incontinence in a sample of American Indian women from one tribe. This was a cross-sectional convenience sampling of 234 eligible participants.
Objective: There is more to be learned about the epidemiology of group B beta-hemolytic streptococci infections in pregnancy. In this study, we investigated the discriminating capabilities of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of group B streptococci strains from pregnant patients and mother/infant pairs of patients compared with serotyping.
Methods: Forty-two vaginal strains of group B streptococci cultured from pregnant patients in the third trimester and strains from 20 mother/infant pairs with documented newborn group B streptococci infection were studied.
