Myostatin Changes in Females with UI after Magnetic Stimulation: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

: Urinary incontinence (UI) is the involuntary loss of urine caused by a weakness in the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) that affects urethral closure. Myostatin, which prevents the growth of muscles, is a protein expressed by human skeletal muscle cells. Indeed, it has been observed that myostatin concentration rises during skeletal muscle inactivity and that suppressing serum myostatin promotes muscle growth and strength.

Approach of Chronic Pelvic Pain with Top Flat Magnetic Stimulation.

Materials And Methods: Vulvar Functional Status Questionnaire (VQ) was used for the evaluation of patient's chronic pelvic pain and muscle hypertone improvements. The interstitial cystitis was assessed by the Leary-Sant symptom and problem indexes (ICSI and ICPI). In this study, the scores resulting from the sum of the two indexes were evaluated as OSS (ICSI + ICPI).

Pulsed Magnetic Stimulation for Stress Urinary Incontinence and Its Impact on Sexuality and Health.

Unlabelled: It is becoming increasingly common that patients' preferences move towards non-surgical approaches, such as pulsed magnetic stimulation, for female stress urinary incontinence.

Objective: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of a device that uses electromagnetic technology to treat urinary incontinence, with an emphasis on health-related quality of life.

Methods: A total of 47 female subjects from 18 to 80 years old were enrolled.

Role of top flat magnetic stimulation for urinary incontinence as a debilitating condition of pelvic floor dysfunction: an observational evaluation of Latin American population.

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common dysfunction of the pelvic floor, affecting 10-20% of all women, and up to 70% in the elderly general prevalence of 17% 20-year-old women and 38% in women over 60 years. It is estimated that only 25% of patients seek treatment for this debilitating condition.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a device based on top flat magnetic stimulation to treat pelvic floor disorders especially female urinary incontinence.

Chronic vulvar fissure: approach with cross-linked hyaluronic acid.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This report aims to prospectively describe the effectiveness and safety of injected cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) for the treatment of chronic vulvar fissures.

Methods: A descriptive prospective case series design including 15 patients affected by chronic vulvar fissures who were treated with cross-linked HA filler between December 2020 and July 2021. The validated 21-item Vulvovaginal Symptoms Questionnaire (VSQ) was used to evaluate the results from baseline up to 9 months after the HA infiltration.

Is It Possible to Improve Urinary Incontinence and Quality of Life in Female Patients? A Clinical Evaluation of the Efficacy of Top Flat Magnetic Stimulation Technology.

Background and Objectives: Urinary incontinence is the accidental loss of urine that can occur at any age, especially among women over 50; however, its prevalence is increasing. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of a device that uses Top Flat Magnetic Stimulation for the management of women with mixed urinary incontinence. Materials and Methods: A total of 50 female patients underwent a total of six treatment sessions performed twice a week for three consecutive weeks, for 28 min.

In response to the FDA warning about the use of photomedicine in gynecology.

To alert patients and health care providers about the use of energy-based devices to perform a vaginal "rejuvenation," cosmetic vaginal procedures, or nonsurgical vaginal procedures to treat symptoms related to menopause, urinary incontinence, or sexual function, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about the effectiveness and safety of such devices. We agree with the FDA that certain devices (laser, radiofrequency, etc.) have been marketed inappropriately for uses that are outside of their cleared or approved intended uses.

Use of Growth Factors for Vulvo/Vaginal Bio-Stimulation.

Vulvo-vaginal atrophy as a main symptom of the Genito Urinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) is a consequence of aging, particularly after menopause as a result of follicular ovarian follicle depletion and consequently low estrogen levels. Anatomical structures derived from the urogenital sinus, such as the distal urethra trigone and vestibule, are the most affected areas because of the high concentrations of alfa- and beta-estrogen receptors. The most common symptoms associated with vulvo-vaginal atrophy are dyspareunia, vaginal dryness, irritation, recurrent urinary tract infection and urinary incontinence, which negatively affect the patient's quality of life and sexuality.

Carbon Dioxide with a New Pulse Profile and Shape: A Perfect Tool to Perform Labiaplasty for Functional and Cosmetic Purpose.

Objective: To describe the benefits and safety of using Carbon Dioxide Laser in multi-pulse modalities when performing labiaplasty and anatomical variants approach for functional and cosmetic indications.

Design: This is a prospective, descriptive case series study.

Setting: Private Practice Quirofano Calculaser Megacentro Pinares Pereira Colombia.

Evaluation of the Biosafety of Hyaluronic Acid PEG Cross-Linked with Micromolecules of Calcium Hydroxyapatite in Low Concentration.

Objective: Neauvia Stimulate is biocompatible, injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) filler (26 mg/ml) PEG cross-linked with 1% of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) for facial soft-tissue augmentation that provides volume to tissues, followed by process of neocollagenesis for improving skin quality.

Aim: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the biosafety of the product (Lot. 160517-26-1/2 PEG) on human keratinocytes cultured in vitro.

Long-term effect of thermoablative fractional CO laser treatment as a novel approach to urinary incontinence management in women with genitourinary syndrome of menopause.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effect of thermoablative fractional CO laser (TACO2L) as an alternative treatment for early stages of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in postmenopausal women with genitourinary syndrome of menopause.

Methods: A total of 161 postmenopausal patients (age 53.38 ± 5.
