Article Synopsis
- The French College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (CNGOF) provided guidelines for subtotal or total hysterectomy for benign diseases, using AGREE II and GRADE systems to evaluate scientific evidence.
- Evidence suggests that keeping the uterine cervix increases the risk of cervical cancer and the need for reoperation, while removing it may slightly increase surgery time for open procedures but not affect laparoscopy.
- The guidelines strongly recommend cervix removal during hysterectomy for benign conditions due to a favorable risk-benefit balance and adequate quality of evidence.

Introduction And Objective: Urinary incontinence in women is the subject of multiple recommendations all over the world. The aim of our study was to compare methodologies and search for inconsistencies in texts and grades in these guidelines.
Methods: Seventeen recommendations from different medical societies in English, French and German were included.
Introduction: There is a growing interest in diets and their effects on cancer prognosis. In 2014, a report from the World Cancer Research Fund on diet and women with a history of breast cancer did not demonstrate a major effect on breast cancer prognosis. The aim of this literature review was to provide an update of knowledge in this area.

Methods: PFM contraction monitored by surface electromyography (EMG) was measured without a mental distraction task (DT), and with a DT called "paced auditory serial additional test" (PASAT). Forty stress incontinent women performed voluntary contractions of the external anal sphincter (EAS), and reflex EAS contractions induced by means of coughing were studied using the external intercostal muscle (EIC) EMG pattern.
