Temporal dynamics of certain human microbiotas have been described in longitudinal studies; variability often relates to modifiable factors or behaviors. Early studies the urinary microbiota preferentially used samples obtained by transurethral catheterization minimize vulvovaginal microbial contributions. Whereas voided specimens are preferred for studies, few that reported data were limited women with lower tract (LUT) symptoms, due ease accessing a clinical population sampling and...
Objective We describe the management and outcomes of ureterovaginal fistulas over a 13-year period present treatment algorithm. Methods performed review fistula cases between January 2005 December 2017 at our tertiary academic center. Demographics, diagnostic approaches, were assessed. Results Nineteen identified. Fistulas developed after hysterectomy in 18 cesarean delivery 1 case. Our primary was conservative with ureteral stenting 12 reimplantation 6 cases. There case spontaneous...

Research into the lower urinary tract (LUT) microbiota has primarily focused on its relationship to LUT symptoms (LUTS), taking snapshots of these communities in individuals with and without LUTS. While certain bacterial taxa have been associated LUTS, or lack thereof, temporal dynamics this community were largely unknown. Recently, we conducted a longitudinal study found that vaginal intercourse resulted shift species richness diversity within microbiota. This is particularly relevant as...
Colpocleisis is a surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse for elderly women who are no longer sexually active. The risk calculator the American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) predicts perioperative complications. We aim to determine if NSQIP calculated correlates with true complications in 80 years or older undergoing colpocleisis.Octogenarian underwent colpocleisis at our institution from 2007 2017 were included this retrospective chart...
We aimed to investigate the effect of music listening on preoperative anxiety compared with usual care in patients undergoing pelvic reconstructive surgery.Patients scheduled for surgery were enrolled day surgery. Participants randomized either (control group) or headphones (music before their completed Spielberg State-Trait Anxiety Inventory form Y1 measure baseline state levels and again after 30 minutes listening. The primary outcome was change score as measured by Y1.Sixty-nine women...
Abstract Background Human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16) elicits cervical cancers and provides an ideal target for T cell-based immunotherapy. Although engineered cell therapies delivered unprecedented successes in hematological cancers, treating solid has been suboptimal. One key mechanism of tumor-elicited suppression is the PDL1-PD1 checkpoint which blocks activation. Therefore, TCR-T cells armored with blockades may further enhance efficacy cancers. Methods HPV16+HLA-A2+ Stage IV cancer...
Objectives To determine reference values for postvoid residual (PVR) volume patients referred to a tertiary urogynecology center. Methods After Institutional Review Board approval, we performed retrospective chart review of all new presenting our referral We assessed associations between PVR and patient demographics, pelvic floor symptoms, physical examination by Wilcoxon rank sum or Kruskal-Wallis tests as appropriate. A multivariable logistic regression model was used calculate odds ratios...
