Evaluating repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for neurogenic overactive bladder management in stroke survivors: A randomized sham-controlled trial protocol.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
September 2024
Background: Neurogenic overactive bladder (OAB) is a distressing condition in stroke. Existing neurogenic OAB management is expensive, unstandardized regimens, or invasive. Evaluating the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) remains crucial.

In war-affected regions, people use different strategies to cope with their stress. This study examines the coping strategies of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and those in host communities in war zones.

To evaluate the quality of this evidence-base using the COnsensus-based Standards for selecting health status Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) checklist and the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) tools.
Data Sources: Five electronic databases (CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science) were searched from dataset inception to August 2023.
Objective: To identify psychometrically robust quality-of-life (QOL) outcome measures for evaluating QOL among people with neurogenic overactive bladder (OAB).
Study Design: Electronic databases (CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science) were searched from inception to January 2023. Two independent reviewers participated in study screening, data extraction and quality appraisal.
Prevalence of Anxiety and Depression Among the General Population in Africa During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Front Public Health
June 2022
Article Synopsis
- - The study systematically reviewed literature on the prevalence of anxiety and depression in Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic, finding significant impacts on mental health due to medical and socio-economic uncertainties.
- - A total of 78 studies with over 62,000 participants revealed pooled prevalence rates of 47% for anxiety and 48% for depression, with female sex and pre-existing medical conditions identified as key risk factors.
- - The findings highlight the urgent need for African governments and stakeholders to allocate resources toward educational programs and intervention strategies that enhance psychological wellbeing and address mental health issues exacerbated by the pandemic.
Objective: To determine the effects of nonsurgical, minimally or noninvasive therapies on urge urinary incontinence (UUI) symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in individuals with neurogenic bladder (NGB).
Data Sources: Cochrane library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PEDro, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to September 2021.
Review Methods: Randomized controlled trials that compared therapies such as intravaginal electrical stimulation (IVES), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS), pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), and behavioural therapy (BT) to control were included.
Background: Lung Carcinoma is the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide with an incidence of 1.3 million cases per year. This study was undertaken to determine prevalence of various histological types of lung carcinoma and to analyse their changing trends with time.
