Article Synopsis
- Bladder training (BT) helps people with overactive bladder by teaching them to go to the bathroom at set times.
- The study looked at how well BT works on its own or with other treatments like medications or special exercises.
- Results showed that combining BT with intravaginal electrical stimulation (IVES) was better for improving nighttime bathroom trips and leaks, but overall, more research is needed to be sure about how effective BT really is.
Aims: To compare the effects of bladder training (BT) versus BT with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in women with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms.
Methods: Randomized controlled clinical trial including women with OAB symptoms, randomized into two groups: BT versus BT + PFMT. For 12 consecutive weeks, the women received home BT.
Background: Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) is a pharmacogenetic disorder triggered by halogenated anesthesia agents/succinylcholine and characterized by hypermetabolism crisis during anesthesia, but also by day-to-day symptoms, such as exercise intolerance, that may alert the health professional.
Objective: The study aimed to analyze the incidence of fatigue in MH susceptible patients and the variables that can impact perception of fatigue, such as the level of routine physical activity and depression.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out with three groups .
Background: The relationship between inflammatory and prothrombotic activity in chagas cardiomyopathy and in other etiologies is unclear.
Objective: To study the profile of pro-thrombotic and pro-inflammatory markers in patients with Chagas' heart failure and compare them with patients of non-chagas etiology.
Methods: Cross-sectional cohort.
