Objective: To determine the frequency of de novo urgency after tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) compared with the transobturator tape (TOT) procedure in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Study Design: Prospective study of all consecutive women with urodynamically confirmed SUI undergoing anti-incontinence surgery between January 2000 and January 2008. All procedures were performed by experienced urogynaecologists well trained in TVT and TOT surgery. Assessments were carried out at 1, 6, 12 and, 36 months after surgery.
Results: The study population included 366 women (mean age 59.5 years), 243 in the TVT group and 123 in the TOT group. The groups were similar in terms of demographics, preoperative data, and cure rates. De novo urgency occurred in 13.4% of patients at 6 months after surgery, in 19.3% at 12 months, and in 22.1% at 36 months. De novo urgency was significantly more frequent in the TVT group than in the TOT group at 12 (22.2% vs 11.2%, P=0.025), 24 (24.8% vs 12.3%, P=0.033), and 36 (0% vs 24.7%, P=0.034) months. Cure rates were similar in both groups. The final adjusted cure rate was 87.3% (319/366).
Conclusion: Treatment of SUI using the TOT procedure was associated with a lower rate of de novo urgency.

Estuarine dispersal of an invasive Holarctic predator (Esox lucius) confirmed in North America.

The capacity for a non-native species to become invasive largely hinges on existing dispersal capacity or adaptation of dispersal in new environments. Here we provide early evidence that invasive Northern Pike (Esox lucius), a Holarctic freshwater top predator, illegally introduced in the late 1950s into Southcentral Alaska, are now dispersing through estuarine corridors. This finding represents the first known documentation of estuary use and dispersal by Northern Pike in North America, exacerbating conservation concerns for already depressed populations of culturally and economically important species such as salmonids.

Introduction: Bowel urgency has recently been recognized as a Crohn's disease (CD) symptom that substantially impacts patients' quality of life. The Urgency NRS is a single-item patient-reported outcome measure assessing bowel urgency severity in the past 24 h (0-10 scale). We aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Urgency Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) in adults with moderately to severely active CD and to estimate thresholds for meaningful improvement and bowel urgency remission.

Importance: Limited evidence exists on the effect of combined native tissue vaginal prolapse repair with midurethral sling on urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) symptoms.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of combined native tissue vaginal prolapse repair with midurethral sling on UUI symptoms at 12 months postoperatively and identify risk factors for persistent UUI.
Study Design: This secondary analysis utilized data from a randomized trial comparing retropubic versus single-incision slings in women undergoing treatment of stress incontinence and vaginal prolapse with native tissue vaginal repair and midurethral sling.

To report a novel variation in the TRIM8 gene in a Chinese patient who developed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and neurogenic bladder. Retrospective analysis of the clinical manifestations, laboratory results, renal biopsy results, and genetic data of the patient with FSGS complicated with neurogenic bladder. The patient was a 6-year and 8-month-old Chinese Zang ethnic boy with low-set ears, widely-spaced eyes (inner canthal distance exceeds the 95th percentile of normal inner canthal distance), a small jaw, and a short neck.

Female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgical treatment has changed since its beginning. Selecting materials that promote constructive tissue remodelling helps to maintain continence after surgery and minimizes complications. To analyze the long-term urinary continence results in women who underwent SUI surgical correction using the transobturator mid-urethral sling KIM system (Knotless Incontinence Mesh) and analyze the complications associated with this SUI treatment.
