Abstract

The efficacy of sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) to treat faecal incontinence has been demonstrated in the short- and mid-term. We analysed SNS outcome in the first patients with a permanent neurostimulator in whom follow-up ranges up to 14 years. Of 12 patients who underwent SNS from 1994 to 1999, 9 were eligible for long-term analysis (defined as a minimum of 7 years). In 3 the device had to be removed because of pain or neurological disease. Functional outcome was monitored prospectively by standardized questionnaire. For efficacy, the recorded frequency of incontinent episodes over 2-week periods and the Wexner Score were obtained yearly after implant. Quality of life measures (FIQL scale [QoL]) were introduced in 1998. Stimulation parameter adjustments, battery longevity, and complications were documented. Mean follow-up in the nine patients was 9.8 years (range 7-14), over which time efficacy persisted. Clinical improvement was significant (baseline vs last follow-up): median percentage of incontinent bowel movements/week 40% (range 9-100) vs 0% (0-60%; P = 0.008), median number of incontinent episodes/week, 9 (range 2-58) vs 0 (0-29; P = 0.012); median Cleveland Clinic Score, 17 (range 12-19) vs 10 (3-14; P < 0.007); QoL i...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.
