Purpose Of Review: To review minimally invasive modifications of traditional surgeries for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in light of increased demand.
Recent Findings: Prior to the synthetic mid-urethral sling (MUS), traditional procedures were used to correct SUI. Often these were retropubic colposuspension procedures for a hypermobile urethra and fascial slings for sphincter deficiency but fell out of favor because of increased morbidity compared with synthetic MUS. As controversy rages over use of mesh in female pelvic reconstructive surgery, more women desire nonmesh alternatives. Traditional approaches have been modified to enable colposuspensions and fascial slings to be performed minimally invasively without minimizing efficacy.
Summary: Minimally invasive modifications to traditional procedures for SUI have been available for about a decade but interest has been recently reignited in the setting of patient concern over mesh.

This mini-review explores sexual dimorphism in the ventral midline thalamus, focusing on the reuniens nucleus and its role in behavioral functions. Traditionally linked to tasks such as working memory, cognitive flexibility, fear generalization, and memory consolidation, most studies have been conducted in male rodents. Research comparing the effects of ventral midline thalamus manipulations between female and male rodents is limited.

Following the death of a loved one, both approach behaviors related to the deceased (i.e., engagement with feelings, memories, and/or reminders of the deceased) and the avoidance of reminders of the death are theorized to precipitate severe and persistent grief reactions, termed prolonged grief.

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are the principal vectors of dengue and continue to pose a threat to human health, with ongoing urbanization, climate change, and trade all impacting the distribution and abundance of this species. Hot periods are becoming increasingly common and their impacts on insect mortality have been well established, but they may have even greater impacts on insect fertility. In this study, we investigated the impacts of high temperatures on Ae.

Obesity, a chronic disease marked by excessive fat accumulation and a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or more, has become a major global health issue, affecting many adults worldwide and particularly prevalent in developed nations and Saudi Arabia. The condition can be caused by genetic, metabolic, and lifestyle factors. Understanding its awareness is imperative in designing effective health interventions.
