To compare the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercises, electrical stimulation, vaginal cones, and no active treatment in women with urodynamic stress urinary incontinence. One hundred eighteen subjects were randomly selected to recieve exercises (n=31), ES (n=30), cones (n=27), or (untreated control) (n=30). Women evaluated before after completion six months by pad test, quality life questionnaire (I-QOL), voiding diary, subjective response. In objective evaluation, we observed a...

The human organic anion transporter, OAT3 (SLC22A8), plays a critical role in renal drug elimination, by mediating the entry of wide variety anions, including number commonly used pharmaceuticals, into proximal tubular cells. To understand nature and extent genetic variation OAT3, to determine whether such affects its function, we identified variants large, ethnically diverse sample population studied their transport activities cellular assays. We total 10 distinct coding-region variants,...

Abstract Aims The aim of the study was to compare effect hypopressive exercises including pelvic floor muscle contraction, training (PFMT) alone and control on function in women with organ prolapse (POP). Methods Fifty‐eight a mean age 55.4 (±9.8) years old stage II POP were randomly assigned participate PFMT group, associated (HE + PFMT) group or group. Each treatment underwent 3‐month course treatment. three groups received lifestyle advice regarding weight loss, constipation, coughing,...
