Abstract

To further elucidate the mechanisms of overactive bladder coexisting with pelvic organ prolapse. A total of 100 consecutive women with stage 2 or greater pelvic organ prolapse associated with cystocele were enrolled in the present prospective study. They underwent urodynamic studies and then received tension-free vaginal mesh operation. Urodynamic studies were carried out before and after the correction of pelvic organ prolapse using a single gauze pack in the vagina in the sitting position. The overactive bladder symptom score and International Prostate Symptom Score were collected before and 3 months after surgery. In 53 of 100 cases, pelvic organ prolapse was accompanied with overactive bladder, and detrusor overactivity was observed in 28 out of 53 pelvic organ prolapse with overactive bladder cases (52.8%). Detrusor overactivity was resolved in 18 and reduced in four out of 28 cases after the correction of pelvic organ prolapse by the gauze packing method. Of 53 patients who had overactive bladder preoperatively, overactive bladder symptoms disappeared in 35 cases (66.0%) and improved in six additional cases (11.3%) after tension-free vaginal mesh operation. A total of 20 of 25 cases whose overactive bladder symptoms disap...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
