Introduction And Hypothesis: Our objective was to evaluate if botox alters the urinary microbiome of patients with overactive bladder and whether this alteration is predictive of treatment response.
Methods: This multicenter prospective cohort study included 18-89-year-old patients undergoing treatment for overactive bladder with 100 units of botox. Urine samples were collected by straight catheterization on the day of the procedure (S1) and again 4 weeks later (S2).
Introduction And Hypothesis: Our objective was to evaluate the amount of opioids used by patients undergoing surgery for pelvic floor disorders and identify risk factors for opioid consumption greater than the median.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of 18- to 89-year-old women undergoing major urogynecological surgery between 1 November2020 and 15 October 2021. Subjects completed one preoperative questionnaire ("questionnaire 1") that surveyed factors expected to influence postoperative pain and opioid use.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Pre-procedure urinalysis may add unnecessary cost and inconvenience for patients undergoing urodynamics. The hypothesis of this study was that urinalysis would perform poorly when predicting complications following urodynamics.
Methods: Case-control study of women aged 18-89 undergoing urodynamics from 01 January2008 to 31 December 2017 at two tertiary medical centers.
Article Synopsis
- The exocyst complex is crucial for various cellular processes, including vesicle fusion and cell movement, but its connection to human genetic disorders is not well understood.
- Researchers used mapping and sequencing methods on families with brain disorders to find that mutations in EXOC7 and EXOC8 are linked to cerebral cortex development issues.
- Their findings indicate that disruptions in the exocyst pathway can lead to serious brain disorders, underlining its importance in normal brain development.
