Prevalence and factors of urinary incontinence among postpartum: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Postpartum urinary incontinence substantially impacts the psychophysical well-being of women. The influencing factors contributing to postpartum urinary incontinence remain a subject of contention in clinical investigation. By elucidating the factors contributing to postpartum urinary incontinence, more efficacious interventions for laboring women can be devised.

Noninvasive external therapy of traditional Chinese medicine for preventing postpartum urinary retention in women with vaginal delivery: A network meta-analysis.

Background: To compare the effect of different noninvasive external therapies of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on the prevention of postpartum urinary retention (PUR) using a network meta-analysis (NMA).

Methods: A search of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFangDate, VIP, China Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases were reviewed for related randomized controlled trials dated between database inception and December 31, 2022, on the prevention of PUR by noninvasive TCM. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies; then, a NMA was performed using Revman5.

Preparation of photocatalytic anatase nanowire films by in situ oxidation of titanium plate.

Photocatalytic anatase TiO2 nanowire thin films have been prepared by in situ oxidation of Ti plate in a mixture solution of concentrated H(2)O(2) and NaOH, followed by proton exchange and calcination. The morphologies and properties of the titanate and titania films have been investigated by means of field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometry, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and Raman spectrometry. The mechanism of formation of the porous microstructure has been discussed; it is the result of the balance between dissolution and precipitation.
