Introduction And Hypothesis: Uterine leiomyomata are widely believed to contribute to lower urinary tract symptoms in women, but it is unclear whether leiomyoma size, position, and location have important implications for these symptoms. We assessed whether greater leiomyoma volume, anterior position, and subserosal location were associated with urinary incontinence and frequent urination in a racially diverse, nationwide sample of premenopausal women in the USA.
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of 477 premenopausal women from 12 USA sites undergoing evaluation for laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation or myomectomy for leiomyomata was carried out.

Background And Objective: Non-motor symptoms frequently develop throughout the disease course of Parkinson's disease (PD), and pose affected individuals at risk of complications, more rapid disease progression and poorer quality of life. Addressing such symptom burden, the 2023 revised "Parkinson's disease" guideline of the German Society of Neurology aimed at providing evidence-based recommendations for managing PD non-motor symptoms, including autonomic failure, pain and sleep disturbances.
Methods: Key PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) questions were formulated by the steering committee and refined by the assigned authors.

Population studies estimate the prevalence of OAB at 12.8% (EPIC study), increasing with age, reaching up to 43% after age 40.
