Essential elements (K, Ca, P, S, Cl, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Br, and I) nonessential or toxic (Al, Ti, Si, Rb, Sr, As, Cd, Sn, Pb) were determined by energy-dispersive polarized x-ray fluorescence spectrometry in 14 seaweeds purchased local specialty stores Italy consumed humans. The differences between the algae species reached up to 2–4 orders of magnitude. Lithothamnium calcareum showed highest levels Al, Ti. Palmaria palmata concentrations K, Cl. content S was Chondrus crispus. Laminaria...
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of retropubic tension‐free vaginal tape ( TVT ) 17 years after implantation for treatment female pure stress urinary incontinence SUI ). Patients Methods A prospective study was conducted in two urogynaecological units countries. All consecutive women with urodynamically proven treated by were included. mixed and/or anatomical evidence pelvic organ prolapse excluded. Data regarding subjective outcomes (International Consultation on Incontinence...
To assess the long-term efficacy and safety of polydimethylsiloxane injection (Macroplastique® , Cogentix Medical, Orangeburg, New York, USA) for treatment female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), with a minimum follow-up 3 years.This is an observational analytical prospective cohort study conducted in single uro-gynaecological unit. All consecutive women urodynamically confirmed pure SUI treated Macroplastique procedure, were included. Data regarding patient outcomes (International...
To assess long-term subjective, objective, and urodynamic outcomes of retropubic mid-urethral slings at 13-year follow-up.This was a prospective observational study. Consecutive women with proven stress incontinence were treated standard tension free vaginal tape (TVT). Patients mixed and/or anatomic evidence pelvic organ prolapse excluded. All the included patients underwent preoperative clinical evaluations. During follow-up examinations, assessed for subjective satisfaction objective cure...
To identify how many patients with symptoms of pure stress urinary incontinence (SUI) do not require any surgical treatment on the basis urodynamics (UDS) and still surgery 1 year after UDS. assess outcomes these at 12-month follow-up.Women SUI received UDS were prospectively divided into four groups, comprising women with: urodynamic (USI); detrusor overactivity (DO); USI + DO; inconclusive Women underwent a Tension Free Vaginal Tape (Obturator) (TVT-O) procedure (Gynecare; Ethicon Inc.,...
Essential and toxic elements (Al, Si, P, S, K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Br, Rb, Sr, Ba, Cd, Ce, Nd, Pb, U, Th, La) were determined by energy-dispersive polarized x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDPXRF) in 15 samples of clay materials for pharmaceutical cosmetic use. The investigated grouped according to their mineralogical composition powder diffraction (XRPD). Samples consisting smectites showed the lowest content La, Th highest quantity U. sample containing smectite kaolinite...
Natural radionuclides and Cs were determined by alpha (U, U, Th,Po,Th, Th) gamma spectrometry (Cs, K, Ra, Pb, Ra via Ac) in 14 dried seaweeds commercialized for human nutrition Italy. The study was carried out order to provide information on the concentrations of natural artificial radionuclides. Cesium-137 (Cs) all analyzed samples always <2.0 Bq kg (dry weight), while naturally occurring radionuclide detectable significantly different seaweeds. Potassium-40 (K) showed a mean activity 894...
Essential and toxic elements were determined by Energy Dispersive Polarized X-Rays Fluorescence Spectrometry (EDPXRF) in the meat of 145 wild bred animals to provide baseline data regarding consumed central Italy. As far as K, Fe, Ni, Zn, Cu are concerned, no significant differences resulted between young adults males females for farmed animals. No marked found hunted non-hunted groups. In all samples analyzed, Mn, Cr, Mo below detection limit. non-essential or As, Cd, V, Hg concentrations...
Overactive bladder (OAB) can frequently exert a negative effect on female sexual function. Mirabegron, β3 receptor agonist, improves OAB symptoms, but there are very few information about its role dysfunction (FSD). Aim of the study was to assess impact Mirabegron FSD in women affected by OAB. Fifty sexually active suffering from idiopathic were included study. Patients assessed means urogynecologic physical examination and asked complete 3-day voiding diary, International Consultation...
For women with overactive bladder (OAB), current guidelines recommend the use of urodynamic studies (UDS) only in complicated cases. This study aimed to investigate whether UDS can also be helpful uncomplicated Specific aims were: 1) evaluate objective benefit and subjective patient satisfaction tailored treatment based on diagnosis compared outcomes pharmacological symptoms; 2) correlation between symptoms findings idiopathic OAB 3) assess ability modify management decisions these...
