The pelvic floor muscles, integral to urinary, bowel, and sexual function, can cause various symptoms when impaired, including pelvic pain, bowel and bladder dysfunction, incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and sexual dysfunction. This chapter explores pelvic floor anatomy, symptoms, and associated diagnoses. It provides screening tools for OBGYNs to use in practice, language to help address patient fears around sexual dysfunction, and emphasizes the role of pelvic floor physical and occupational therapy in treating these conditions.

Objectives To examine the transfer of knowledge in psychiatry, longitudinally, over more than 35 years, through the 4 editions of the manual "Psychiatrie clinique" published in Quebec, thanks to the initiative of the publication directors affiliated with the Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Montréal (formerly the Louis-H. Lafontaine Hospital). Our hypothesis is that the evolution of the content and form of such a manual reflects an evolution of knowledge in psychiatry with a naturally educational vocation which of what must be known and applicable in the discipline.

Objectives: Describe the history of the use of the term "lupus" as a disease and to point out the inaccuracies of previous lupus historical articles and correct the historical record.
Methods: An exhaustive review of Medieval and later texts regarding the use of the term "lupus" as it was used for the name of a disease as well as personal communications with Medieval experts who have studied this topic.
Results: There are three possible first uses of "lupus" as a disease: an affidavit written in 963 AD by Eraclius (Bishop of Liège, Belgium), in a 12th century historical account of the Bishop of Liège, falsely ascribed to the 9th century Bishop Herbernus, or in an 1170 AD letter written by Pierre de Blois about the death of archbishop Stephan du Perche.

Background: Critical care of patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with acute brain injury (ABI) is notable for a lack of high-quality clinical evidence. Here, we offer guidelines for neurological care (neurological monitoring and management) of adults during and after ECMO support.
Methods: These guidelines are based on clinical practice consensus recommendations and scientific statements.
