Aim: We review the literature regarding recurrent urinary stress incontinence (USI) following various anti-incontinence procedures and analyze possible risk factors for failure of different anti-incontinence procedures. Management options for recurrent USI and future trends are also covered.
Methods: A PubMed search was undertaken for English language literature using the MeSH terms 'stress urinary incontinence', 'recurrence', 'treatment', and 'failure'. Literature from the year 2001 to 2010 was selected. We only selected those studies including randomized control trials, meta-analysis, and prospective and retrospective cohort studies for this review. Studies are analyzed on the basis of their methodical quality and time of follow-up.
Results: In spite of the wide spectrum of options available, treatment of USI fails in 10-20% of patients. Management of such recurrent USI is technically challenging to the surgeon and a frustrating problem for the patient.
Conclusion: TVT may be used as a high priority in patients with recurrent USI with encouraging success. For refractory USI, more advanced procedures, like periurethral bulking agents, adjustable continence therapy system, spiral sling systems remain a viable option.

A novel sequential endocardial mapping strategy for locating atrial fibrillation sources based on repetitive conduction patterns: An in-silico study.
J Mol Cell Cardiol Plus

Department of Physiology, Maastricht University, Universiteitssingel 50, Maastricht 6229ER, Netherlands.
Background: In persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), localized extra-pulmonary vein sources may contribute to arrhythmia recurrences after pulmonary vein isolation. This in-silico study proposes a high-density sequential mapping strategy to localize such sources.
Method: Catheter repositioning was guided by repetitive conduction patterns, moving against the prevailing conduction direction (upstream) toward the sources.

Objective: To provide up-to-date European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) guidelines for staging and follow-up of patients with ovarian cancer (OC).
Methods: Twenty-one experts, members of the female pelvis imaging ESUR subcommittee from 19 institutions, replied to 2 rounds of questionnaires regarding imaging techniques and structured reporting used for pre-treatment evaluation of OC patients. The results of the survey were presented to the other authors during the group's annual meeting.

In 1924, the Dutch physiologist Willem Einthoven received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the mechanism of the electrocardiogram (ECG). Anno 2024, the ECG is commonly used as a diagnostic tool in cardiology. In the paper 'Le Télécardiogramme', Einthoven described the first recording of the now most common cardiac arrhythmia: atrial fibrillation (AF).

Article Synopsis
- Chronic urticaria (CU) has been reported in some individuals after receiving the Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine, prompting this study to analyze its onset related to COVID-19 vaccination, SARS-CoV-2 infection, and atopy factors.
- A study involving 50 individuals with CU and 135 without CU assessed the immunological responses and the presence of anti-vaccine IgE through surveys and blood tests conducted in 2022 and 2023.
- Results indicated that post-vaccination CU typically appears about 10 days after the Spikevax booster, especially affecting middle-aged women, with 53% of cases still active in 2023; however, some patients tolerated additional doses without worsening their symptoms,
Predictors and outcomes of Mid-urethral sling continence surgeries for stress urinary incontinence among Taiwanese women: What works best?

Mid urethral sling (MUS) surgery is a widely accepted and safe procedure performed for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with excellent cure rate besides its minimal complications. There are various types of MUS which can be offered. In this review we collated published data on MUS surgery performed among Taiwanese women with SUI in search for the best techniques and its outcome.
