The effect of biofeedback pelvic floor training with ACTICORE1 on urinary incontinence: a multicenter randomized clinical pilot trial.

Background: Pelvic floor training with biofeedback has been shown to significantly reduce symptoms of urinary incontinence. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of pelvic floor training with the ACTICORE1 biofeedback device, which uses a noninsertable pelvic floor sensor with a digital interface.

Materials And Methods: A multicenter randomized controlled clinical pilot study in Germany was conducted between October 2021 and January 2022.

Optimal timing for antimicrobial prophylaxis to reduce surgical site infections: a retrospective analysis of 531 patients.

It has been revealed that the administration of an antimicrobial prophylaxis (AP) reduces the rate of surgical site (SSI) following colorectal cancer surgery. Nevertheless, the optimal timing of this medication remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine more precisely the optimal time for administering antibiotics and to see if this could reduce the number of possible surgical site infections.
