Blue light-emitting diode therapy for recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis: a Brazilian report.

Purpose: RVVC is defined as four or more episodes of candidiasis in a 12-month period. Conventional treatment is complex and often involves long-term medication use or multiple treatments. ABL therapy is a promising treatment option as it is acceptable to women and has only rare side effects.

Real time adaptive probabilistic recurrent Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy neural network proportional-integral-derivative controller for nonlinear systems.

This paper presents an adaptive probabilistic recurrent Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy neural PID controller for handling the problems of uncertainties in nonlinear systems. The proposed controller combines probabilistic processing with a Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy neural system to proficiently address stochastic uncertainties in controlled systems. The stability of the controlled system is ensured through the utilization of Lyapunov function to adjust the controller parameters.

Mobile app for pelvic floor muscle training for urinary incontinence during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: clinical trial.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of home-based pelvic floor muscle training in women with urinary incontinence, addressing the difficulties arising from social isolation due to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic by utilizing a specialized mobile app.

Methods: This randomized, single-group clinical trial aimed to assess the efficacy of pelvic floor muscle training guided by a mobile app (Diario Saúde) in women with stress urinary incontinence. Participants were instructed via telephone to engage in pelvic floor muscle training exercises twice a day for 30 days.

Investigating the role of the pelvic floor muscles in sexual function and sexual response: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: The pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) have been suggested to play a key role in sexual function and response in women. However, syntheses of the evidence thus far have been limited to interventional studies in women with pelvic pain or pelvic floor disorders, and these studies have failed to fully capture the involvement of the PFMs in a broader population.

Aim: We sought to appraise the evidence regarding the role of the PFMs in sexual function/response in women without pelvic pain or pelvic floor disorders.

Not all lasers are the same: a scoping review evaluating laser therapy for vulvodynia.

Introduction: Lasers are commonly used for treating various vaginal/vulvar conditions. To date, there is to our knowledge no available literature review on the effects of different types of lasers for the treatment of women with vulvodynia, a condition that causes chronic pain in the vulvar area.

Objectives: We sought to review the literature and summarize the existing published evidence regarding the effects of lasers for the treatment of women with vulvodynia.
