The effect of pelvic floor muscle training on urodynamic parameters in women with stress urinary incontinence.

Introduction: Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is suggested for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The aim of our study is to examine the effectiveness of PFMT on urodynamic (UDS) parameters.

Material And Methods: This is a prospective observational study enrolling women with SUI.

The definition of ideal training of a urology resident from two different perspectives: trainees vs professors. Is there agreement in their idea of good training?

Introduction: At the end of their residency program, urology trainees should reach the minimum skills required to be able to work by themselves and within a team. To achieve this objective, it is fundamental that the training involves not only surgical activities, but also theoretical, academic, and relational ones. What is the perfect balance between these activities within the ideal urological training? This study aims to evaluate the concordance in different concepts of good urological training between different perspectives (trainees vs professors).

The genetics of immune and infection phenotypes in wild mice, Mus musculus domesticus.

Wild animals are under constant threat from a wide range of micro- and macroparasites in their environment. Animals make immune responses against parasites, and these are important in affecting the dynamics of parasite populations. Individual animals vary in their anti-parasite immune responses.
