Localized provoked vulvodynia is characterized by chronic vulvar pain that disrupts every aspect of the patient's life. Pain is localized to the vulvar vestibule, a specialized ring of tissue immediately surrounding the vaginal opening involved in immune defense. In this article, we show inflammation is the critical first step necessary for the generation of pain signals in the vulva.

Risk factors for wound complications in morbidly obese women undergoing primary cesarean delivery.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
September 2012
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to identify factors that lead to wound complications (WCs) in morbidly obese women during their first cesarean delivery (CD).
- - An analysis of 623 women revealed a 13.5% overall rate of wound complications, significantly higher with vertical incisions compared to low transverse incisions (45.7% vs. 11.6%).
- - The findings suggest that low transverse incisions are preferable to minimize infectious and separation type wound complications in this patient group.
Aims: Previous studies have shown increased density of M2 receptors in hypertrophied rat bladders that possess an M2 contractile phenotype. The aim of the current study is to determine whether human bladders with an M2 contractile phenotype also have a greater density of bladder M2 receptors.
Materials And Methods: Human bladders were obtained from 24 different organ transplant donors.
