Multilevel musculo-fascial defect magnetic resonance study of female pelvic floor: retrospective case control study in women with pelvic floor dysfunction after the first vaginal delivery.

Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a detailed display of the pelvic floor structures responsible for normal pelvic floor anatomy. The aim of the study is to assess the appearance of musculo-fascial defects in women with pelvic floor dysfunction following first vaginal delivery.

Material And Methods: Analysis of axial T3 (Tesla 3) MRI scans from a case control study of symptomatic (n = 149) and asymptomatic (n = 60) women after first vaginal delivery.

[Overactive urinary bladder in elderly female patients: treatment specificities and drug interactions].

Aging is an inevitable process in the life of each organism and it is no different in the human world. According to the world statistics and demographic data, an ever increasing group in our population live to a ripe old age. The paper deals with pharmacological therapy for overactive bladder (OAB) in older women while also considering frequent comorbidities in older age.

Effect of severity of urinary incontinence on quality of life in women.

Aims: While the effect of different types of incontinence on the quality of life (QoL) has been clearly documented, the information about the impact of incontinence severity on QoL in women is lacking. Therefore, we investigated whether increasingly severe degrees of incontinence were linearly correlated with poorer QoL.

Methods: We included 391 incontinent women and 81 continent volunteers in the study and assessed them in accordance with routine clinical practice.

Is it possible to cure the symptoms of the overactive bladder in women?

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of discontinuing treatment with mirabegron once symptoms have subsided in patients with overactive bladder (OAB).

Methods: The present study evaluated a total of 159 female OAB patients (age 62.9 ± 12.

Prospective Randomized Study of MiniArc and Ajust Single Incision Sling Procedures.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Ajust and MiniArc system mini-sling anti-incontinence procedures for female stress urinary incontinence, at a minimum of 24 months after surgery.

Methods: This prospective, randomized, multicenter study included 66 women with previously untreated stress urinary incontinence, and 63 patients completed the study. These women were randomly divided into two groups; the first group of patients underwent operations using the Ajust (n = 33) technique, while the second group were treated with the MiniArc (n = 33) technique.
