Evaluation of a Mobile Application for Pelvic Floor Exercises.

Background: Pelvic floor exercises are effective in improving muscle strength and urinary incontinence symptoms. Increasingly popular mobile applications can be effective in teaching patients these exercises.

Introduction: A mobile application, Bwom, aims to educate women about pelvic floor exercises with individually tailored plans relevant to the user's risk factors.

Uterine Autotransplantation in the Nonhuman Primate With Preservation of the Uterine and Ovarian Vascular Pedicles.

Purpose: To evaluate the technical feasibility of performing a uterine autotransplantation in the nonhuman primate while preserving the uterine and ovarian vascular pedicles.

Methods: Eight (n = 8) female baboons at a primate research facility underwent a uterine autotransplant procedure with preservation of the vascular pedicles. The uterine arteries were separated from their amorphous tissue and skeletonized toward the internal iliac arteries bilaterally.

Irrigation after Laparoscopic Power Morcellation and the Dispersal of Leiomyoma Cells: A Pilot Study.

Study Objective: To evaluate if copious irrigation and suctioning after electromechanical power morcellation will reduce myoma cell dissemination and if there is a difference between sterile water and normal saline.

Design: Prospective single-center cohort pilot study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).

Setting: Academic tertiary referral center.

The impact of cerclage in twin pregnancies on preterm birth rate before 32 weeks.

Purpose: To evaluate whether cerclage in twins reduces the rate of spontaneous preterm birth <32 weeks when compared to expectant management.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of twin pregnancies with the following indications for cerclage from two institutions: history of prior preterm birth, ultrasound-identified short cervix ≤2.5 cm, and cervical dilation ≥1.
