Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the urinary incontinence (UI) types on the sexual function and quality of life (QOL) of women with UI and the correlation between sexual function and QOL.
Methods: The sample for this descriptive study was comprised of 122 women who presented to obstetrics and gynecology and urology outpatient clinics at university hospitals in Denizli and Izmir, Turkey, who had UI, who were sexually active, who volunteered to participate in the study, and who were chosen by a convenience sampling method. A sociodemographic data collection form, the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and the Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL) questionnaire were used for data collection in the study.
Results: The mixed type of incontinence had an effect on the women's quality of life, mixed and stress incontinence affected the FSFI's pain subscale, and the total sexual functioning score was lower for the women with mixed incontinence. Even though the correlation values were low, it was clear that there was a positive correlation between sexual function and quality of life.
Conclusions: Among the incontinence types, a significant difference was determined by the FSFI and I-QOL. Urinary incontinence seems to be the predictor of sexual function and quality of life. As a result, a comprehensive assessment of patients with UI is recommended because this condition has a negative influence on their sexual function and quality of life.

Background: Short-term improvements in quality of life (QOL) have been reported in adult congenital heart disease patients with systemic right ventricle (sRV) failure after treatment with sacubitril/valsartan. This study aimed to evaluate the medium-term QOL changes in sRV failure patients treated with sacubitril/valsartan.
Methods: In this single-centre, prospective cohort study, patients with symptomatic sRV failure completed the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research/Academic Hospital Leiden Questionnaire for Adult's Health-Related Quality of Life (TAAQOL) at baseline and after starting treatment with sacubitril/valsartan.

Phytoestrogens are non-steroidal compounds that, can act as agonists and/or antagonists by binding to estrogen receptors; hence they can modify estrogen-dependent processes of neonatal sexual differentiation. Results of the analysis of the sexual behavior of experimental rats that received 6.8 mg of isoflavones/kg/day, showed significantly more mating activity, but fewer ejaculations (p<0.

Purpose: To investigate the feasibility and safety of MRI-guided focal laser ablation (FLA) in localized, International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade 1-3, prostate cancer (PCa) using an integrated system.
Methods: Ten consecutive males (mean age: 66±7 years) with low-to-intermediate risk PCa were prospectively included (April 2022-May 2023) and treated with MRI-guided FLA using an integrated system for laser energy control and MR thermometry monitoring. Primary endpoints were technical success, procedure-related adverse events (AEs) following SIR (Society of Interventional Radiology) classification, and 12-months local tumor progression-free survival (LTPFS), defined as no evident residual/ recurrent disease on follow-up imaging or histopathology at the treatment site.

This study aims at investigating the dynamics of sexually transmitted infectious disease (STID), which is serious health concern. In so doing, the integer order STID model is progressed in to the time-delayed non-integer order STID model by introducing the Caputo fractional derivatives in place of integer order derivatives and including the delay factors in the susceptible and infectious compartments. Moreover, unique existence of the solution for the underlying model is ensured by establishing some benchmark results.

Background In the healthcare setting, transgender patients are often marginalized, face discrimination and have limited access to high-quality gender-affirming care, such as gender-affirming surgery (GAS). As a result, the available data pertaining to GAS are often based on convenience samples, and the majority of published studies in the US are cross-sectional. Transgender people may undergo GAS to align their bodies with their gender identities.
