Published: September 2022

Background: Pelvic incidence (PI) and pelvic parameters (PP) regulate the sagittal alignment of the spine and the pelvis in normal populations. Correlation of PI even more so than PP with lumbar spondylolisthesis (LS) would be useful for surgical planning.

Methods: This study included 45 patients randomly selected with LS. They were divided into two groups; Group S had LS and Group C had low back pain due to other causes. All patients received lateral standing radiographs of the spine and pelvis. Based on these films, we measured the sacral slope, pelvic tilt, PI, and lumbar lordosis (LL).

Results: There were significant correlations between the PI and the sacral slope, pelvic tilt, and LL in Group S ( < 0.05). The majority of patients with LS presented with middle (60%) followed by high PIs (26.67%). Low PI was observed among just 13.33% patients with LS.

Conclusion: Changes in spinopelvic parameters reflecting pelvic compensatory mechanisms differ depending on the extent of PI in patients with LS. In short, higher PI values correlated with more significant degrees of degenerative LS in Group S population.

Silver-Coated Foley Catheters to Reduce UTIs: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Urogynecology (Phila)

January 2025

From the Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, TriHealth, Cincinnati, OH.

Importance: This study is important as it challenges the effectiveness of silver-coated catheters in reducing urinary tract infections (UTIs) after pelvic floor surgery (PFS).

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of UTIs in patients using silver-coated silicone transurethral indwelling catheters (TICs) compared with standard silicone TICs among women with postoperative urinary retention following PFS.

Study Design: This was a double-blind, randomized controlled trial of women undergoing PFS between June 2022 and February 2024 with postoperative urinary retention.

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI), which can be classified as stress, urgency, or mixed, represents a public health problem that mainly affects adult women. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, association of sociodemographic and obstetric factors with the types of UI as well as the perceived impact on quality of life of women attending primary health facilities in the Tacna region from Peru.

Methods: A quantitative, non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional study was conducted.

Aims: We evaluated the national and regional trends from 2013 to 2022, in the prevalence of Perthes' disease among adolescent males in South Korea.

Methods: This retrospective, nationwide, population-based study included a total of 3,166,669 Korean adolescent males examined at regional Military Manpower Administration (MMA) offices over ten years. Data from the MMA were retrospectively collected to measure the national and regional prevalence per 100,000 and 95% CI of Perthes' disease according to the year (1 January 2013 to 31 December 2022) and history of pelvic and/or femoral osteotomy in South Korea.

Background And Purpose: We investigate discrepancies in the assessment of treatment-related symptoms in lung cancer between healthcare professionals and patients, and factors contributing to these discrepancies.

Materials And Methods: Data from 515 participants in the REQUITE study were analysed. Five symptoms (cough, dyspnoea, bronchopulmonary haemorrhage, chest wall pain, dysphagia) were evaluated both before and after radiotherapy.

Purpose: The relationship between sagittal lumbopelvic alignment and the bony pathomorphology of hip dysplasia is currently at the forefront of clinical and scientific interest. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a compensatory lumbopelvic aspect associated with the two major acetabular phenotypes in dysplastic hips.

Methods: From September 2022 to March 2024, a total of 145 patients with symptomatic bilateral hip dysplasia were included in the study.
