Background: Episiotomy is a surgical intervention performed during the second stage of labor to facilitate the baby's exit through the birth canal. There are different reasons that lead episiotomy; however, it is recommended performed occasionally and not systematically, since it may produce negative effects such as pain. Different therapies have been described to reduce this pain, including transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS).

Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are associated with a high failure rate. Our uncontrolled feasibility study aimed determining the effect of a transcutaneous electrical stimulation system (TESS) on GERD symptoms and acid exposure time (AET).

Methods: Recruited patients with heartburn and regurgitation.

Importance: Patients deciding between advanced therapies for overactive bladder syndrome may be interested to know the likelihood of treatment crossover after sacral neuromodulation, intradetrusor OnabotulinumtoxinA, or percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation. Treatment crossover was defined as a switch from one advanced therapy to another.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to estimate the rate of treatment crossover after each advanced therapy for nonneurogenic overactive bladder syndrome.

The proper functioning of the respiratory system is evaluated by monitoring the exchange of blood oxygen and carbon dioxide. While wearable devices for monitoring both blood oxygen and carbon dioxide are emerging, wearable carbon dioxide monitors remain relatively rare. This paper introduces a novel wearable prototype that integrates the measurement of transcutaneous carbon dioxide and peripheral blood oxygen saturation on a miniaturized custom-designed printed circuit board.

Rationale: Chronic knee pain is a common health issue that requires effective and noninvasive treatment. We devised a novel noninvasive approach using ultrasound-guided electrical nerve reactivation (ENR) in which ultrasound is used to identify the genicular nerve (GN). Then, transcutaneous low-frequency stimulation is applied for 10 seconds.
