  • In a study involving 151 women, 79% of those assessed at the 24-month mark showed significant improvement in their condition, with consistent efficacy over time and high rates of participant satisfaction.
  • The results highlight the Revi system's durability, effectiveness, and safety, with no serious adverse events reported throughout the study period.

Article Abstract

Purpose: The BlueWind Medical Device, Revi, is a novel implantable tibial neuromodulation system powered by an external, battery-operated wearable that facilitates individually tailored stimulation to provide treatment for urgency urinary incontinence (ie, overactive bladder wet). The Revi System is the first Food and Drug Administration-cleared implantable neuromodulation device which can be used without prior failure with more conservative treatment options. Two-year follow-up results of the OASIS study are presented.

Materials And Methods: The Revi System was implanted in 151 female participants. The primary efficacy and safety endpoints were assessed at 6 and 12 months, after which participants either consented to extend follow-up for long-term assessment of treatment durability and safety or they chose to exit the study.

Results: Ninety-seven participants completed the 24-month assessment, and of these, 79% were therapy responders (≥50% reduction in urgency urinary incontinence episodes, demonstrated on a 3-day voiding diary). Importantly, therapeutic response was durable, with comparable effectiveness at 6, 12, and 24 months (response rates of 78%, 82%, and 79%, respectively). Participants who completed both the 6- and 24-month assessment had similar demographics and treatment results at the 6-month visit, indicating that these results at 24 months are representative of the overall study population. In addition, high satisfaction and patient impression of improvement were reported, with 97% (88/91) of the participants satisfied with the therapy and 80% (78/97) feeling "much better" or "very much better." There were no serious adverse events related to the device or the procedure through 24 months.

Conclusions: Two-year results demonstrate durable efficacy, high patient satisfaction, and a very favorable safety profile.

Trial Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT03596671.

Prior COVID-19 infection may elevate activity of the behavioral immune system-the psychological mechanisms that foster avoidance of infection cues-to protect the individual from contracting the infection in the future. Such "adaptive behavioral immunity" may come with psychological costs, such as exacerbating the global pandemic's disruption of social and emotional processes (i.e.

Background: Overactive bladder (OAB) affects one in six adults in Europe and the United States and impairs the quality of life of millions of individuals worldwide. When conservative management fails, third-line treatments including tibial neuromodulation (TNM) is often pursued. TNM has traditionally been accomplished percutaneously in clinic.

Exploring the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect through therapeutic nanoparticles has been a subject of considerable interest in tumor biology. This passive targeting based phenomenon exploits the leaky blood vasculature and the defective lymphatic drainage system of the heterogeneous tumor microenvironment resulting in enhanced preferential accumulation of the nanoparticles within the tumor tissues. This article reviews the fundamental studies to assess how the EPR effect plays an essential role in passive targeting.
