AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Introduction: Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) and dysfunctional voiding (DV) are subgroups of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). Standard urotherapy is the first-line treatment option of OAB in children.
Objectives: The aim was to investigate the use of biofeedback as a first-line treatment option in OAB refractory to standard urotherapy, and determine the factors affecting efficacy.
Study Design: Between 2005 and 2015, we retrospectively analyzed a total of 136 hospital records of children with OAB who had not previously used any anticholinergics and were refractory to standard urotherapy. Patients with urgency and/or urge incontinence and/or making holding maneuvers to suppress urgency were defined as having OAB symptoms, and resolution of these complaints was defined as successful biofeedback therapy.
Results: Seventy-three of 136 OAB patients' urgency recovered by biofeedback therapy with the success rate of 53% (p < 0.001). Sixty-two of 101 patients with holding maneuvers (success rate 61%) (p < 0.001), 70 of 101 patients with urgency incontinence (success rate 69%) (p < 0.001), 76 of 114 patients with daytime incontinence (success rate 66%) (p = 0.023), 87 of 97 patients with enuresis (success rate 89%) (p = 0.009), and 27 of 39 patients with dysuria (success rate 69%) (p = 0.007) recovered from their symptoms significantly. The mean lower urinary tract symptom score (LUTSS) was 16.38 and 8.18 before and after biofeedback therapies, respectively (p < 0.001) (Table). Patients without holding maneuvers (p = 0.045), daytime incontinence (p = 0.030), and enuresis (p = 0.045) had better recovery compared to the opposites.
Discussion: Biofeedback can be thought of as the first-line treatment option when standard urotherapy fails in children with OAB.

A pilot study of transcriptomic preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-T): towards a new step in embryo selection?

IVIRMA Global Research Alliance, IVI Foundation, Health Research Institute La Fe, Valencia, Spain.
Study Question: Is it possible to predict an euploid chromosomal constitution and identify a transcriptomic profile compatible with extended embryonic development from RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data?
Summary Answer: It has been possible to obtain a karyotype comparable to preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), in addition to a transcriptomic signature of embryos which might be suggestive of improved implantation capacity.
What Is Known Already: Conventional assessment of embryo competence, based on morphology and morphokinetic, lacks knowledge of molecular aspects and faces controversy in predicting ploidy status. Understanding the embryonic transcriptome is crucial, as gene expression influences development and implantation.
Vertebral Body Tethering in Skeletally Immature Patients: Results of a Prospective U.S. FDA Investigational Device Exemption Study.

Background: The purpose of this study was to report on 2-year results of vertebral body tethering (VBT), performed under a Food and Drug Administration protocol, to obtain insight into outcomes and complications.
Methods: Forty prospectively enrolled patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who had a Sanders score of ≤4 or a Risser score of ≤2 underwent VBT for curves between 40° and 70°. Surgical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes were reviewed at a minimum 2-year follow-up.

This study focuses on HIV-1-infected women of childbearing age in Liangshan Prefecture and analyses their HIV-1 RNA and HIV-1 DNA genotypic drug resistance to provide a theoretical basis and technical support for monitoring the spread of resistant strains and formulating and optimizing antiretroviral therapy regimens. The study subjects were HIV-1-infected women of childbearing age who were followed up in the county of Liangshan Prefecture from January to September 2023. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from each subject.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a severe and progressive lung disorder with an average survival rate of 3 to 5 years. IPF presents a significant challenge in clinical management, necessitating novel therapeutic approaches. Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) have proven to be promising vehicles for targeted drug delivery to the lung tissues.
