Vaxelis, a hexavalent vaccine that contains the same Hib conjugate as PedvaxHIB but at lower concentration, is recommended for US children, but postdose 1 Hib immunogenicity data are needed to inform whether a preferential recommendation should be made for AI/AN infants.

Purpose: We evaluated the therapeutic success rate, changes in quality of life and safety of sacral neuromodulation 5 years after InterStim™ implantation. Included in study were subjects with bothersome symptoms of overactive bladder, including urinary urge incontinence and/or urgency-frequency, in whom at least 1 anticholinergic medication failed and 1 medication had not been tried.

Materials And Methods: Therapeutic success was defined as a urinary urge incontinence or urgency-frequency response of 50% or greater improvement in average leaks or voids per day, or return to normal voiding, defined as fewer than 8 voids per day.

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic success rate, and changes in quality of life (QOL) and safety in subjects using sacral neuromodulation (InterStim System) at 36 months. Subjects with bothersome symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) including urinary urge incontinence (UI) and/or urgency frequency (UF), who had failed at least 1 anticholinergic medication, and had at least 1 untried medication were included.

Methods: Subjects with successful test stimulation received an InterStim implant.
