Objectives/aims: The visceral myopathies (VM) are a group of disorders characterised by poorly contractile or acontractile smooth muscle. They manifest in both the GI and GU tracts, ranging from megacystis to Prune Belly syndrome. We aimed to apply a bespoke virtual genetic panel and describe novel variants associated with this condition using whole genome sequencing data within the Genomics England 100,000 Genomes Project.

Little is known about morbidity for children with rare structural congenital anomalies. This European, population-based data-linkage cohort study analysed data on hospitalisations and surgical procedures for 5948 children born 1995-2014 with 18 rare structural congenital anomalies from nine EUROCAT registries in five countries. In the first year of life, the median length of stay (LOS) ranged from 3.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of dorsal clitoral nerve stimulation (DCNS) on bothersome urgency to defecate with or without fecal incontinence and the patient-reported discomfort or adverse effect with the method.
Methods: For dorsal clitoral nerve stimulation, a battery powered, handheld stimulator was used, set to a pulse width of 200 µs and a frequency of 20 Hz. One electrode was placed at the preputium of the clitoris and acted as cathode while an anode electrode was placed on the belly.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Turku University Hospital and University of Turku, Kiinamyllynkatu 4-8, 20521, Turku, Finland.
Background: Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a multisystem disease characterized by absent or deficient abdominal musculature with accompanying lax skin, urinary tract abnormalities, and cryptorchidism. Previous studies have estimated a birth prevalence of 1 in 35,000-50,000 live births.
Objective: We set out to clarify the epidemiology and early hospital admissions of PBS in Finland through a population-based register study.
