A Comparison of Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises and Spinal Stabilization Exercises in Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to compare the effects of pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) and spinal stabilization exercise (SSE) on urinary symptoms, pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS), quality of life (QoL), core stability, balance, spinal posture, and perception of subjective improvement (PSI) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Methods: Patients were randomly divided into PFME (n = 25) and SSE (n = 25) groups. The exercises of both groups was applied 3 days a week for 8 weeks.

Are Operating Rooms With Laminar Airflow a Risk for Inadvertent Perioperative Hypothermia During Ureterorenoscopic Lithotripsy Under Spinal Anesthesia? A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objectives: Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH), defined as a core temperature <36°C, is common during a surgical procedure and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Laminar (LAS) and conventional airflow systems (CAS) are used frequently for clean microenvironmental surgical areas in operating rooms. In LAS, the cold airflow is directed toward the patient, unlike CAS.

Does morbid obesity influence the success and complication rates of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy for upper ureteral stones?

Objective: The aim of the current study was to investigate whether obesity influences the outcome of extra-corporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) treatment for upper ureteral stones.

Material And Methods: This is a retrospective study of 134 patients who underwent ESWL between June 2011 and May 2014. Patients were divided into 2 groups.

Vesicouterine fistula, a rare cause of genitourinary fistula.
