Introduction and hypothesis There has been an increasing need for the terminology on conservative management of female pelvic floor dysfunction to be collated in a clinically based consensus report. Methods This Report combines input members elected nominees Standardization Terminology Committees two International Organizations, Urogynecological Association (IUGA) Continence Society (ICS), assisted at intervals by many external referees. An extensive process nine rounds internal review was...
Objectives To analyze the expression of genes involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) biogenesis and remodeling vaginal tissue women with clinically normal pelvic floor support (defined as controls) according to phase menstrual cycle postmenopausal without organ prolapse (POP). Materials Methods This study examined metalloproteinases (MMPs), their inhibitors (TIMPs), Lysyl oxidase (LOX) family anterior wall Caucasian by real-time RT-PCR. Initially, mRNA was assessed premenopausal controls...
The aim of the study was to compare efficacy and safety transvaginal trocar-guided polypropylene mesh insertion with traditional colporrhaphy for treatment anterior vaginal wall prolapse. This is a randomized controlled trial in which women advanced prolapse, at least stage II Ba ≥ +1 cm according Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) classification, were randomly assigned have either (n = 39) or repair using 40). primary outcome objective cure rate compartment (point Ba) assessed...
Aims To compare efficacy and safety of the traditional colporraphy transvaginal polypropylene mesh for treatment advanced anterior vaginal prolapse according to different success criteria in two‐year follow‐up. Methods In this randomized controlled trial, women with stage II or greater, Ba point ≥ +1 (POP‐Q quantification), were randomly assigned have either (n = 43) repair 43). The primary outcome was objective rate under two definitions: I (Ba < −1) 0). Secondary outcomes included...
AIMS To test if biofeedback (BF) added to pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) increases the frequency of home exercises performed by women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). METHODS 72 incontinent were randomized BF (outpatient + PFMT) or PFMT groups. Assessments: baseline, after 3 months supervised treatment, at 9‐month follow‐up (after six additional only). Primary outcome: monthly sets (exercise diary) 3‐month treatment. Secondary outcomes: adherence, symptoms, severity and cure SUI...
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent found in various tissues and easily cultivated. For use clinical protocols, MSCs must be expanded to obtain an adequate number of cells, but a senescence state may instituted after some passages, reducing their replicative potential. In this study, we report case where MSC derived from elderly donor acquired three passages. The bone marrow was aspirated female patient submitted cell therapy for the incontinency urinary protocol; were cultivated...
