Efficacy and Safety of Intraurethral Erbium: YAG Laser Treatment in Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence Following Failed Intravaginal Laser Therapy: A Retrospective Study - Beyond the Abstract
|
| Chi-Feng Su & Yung-Ling Tsen |
| This study addresses stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women, distinguishing between urethral hypermobility (UH) and intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD). While urodynamic studies are the gold standard, fiscal constraints may necessitate alternative diagnostic methods. Vaginal laser treatment showed an 80% success rate for SUI, but persistent symptoms in some cases suggested ISD. Intraurethral laser therapy was considered, proving promising and offering a valuable therapeutic option for those unresponsive to initial treatments, improving their quality of life.

| Google Searches for Stress Urinary Incontinence Treatment Options: A Worldwide Trend Analysis in the Synthetic Mesh Controversy Era - Beyond the Abstract |
| Sonia Guérin, Zine-Eddine Khene, Benoit Peyronnet, Karim Bensalah, & Philippe E Zimmern
|
| There are over 4 billion internet users worldwide and Google is the most used search engine. Nearly 70% of patients report that the Internet is their primary source of health information. Therefore, a new science has emerged from the age of Big Data, infodemiology, which can be defined as the study of the distribution and determinants of information in electronic platforms, particularly the Internet. To date, limited research has been conducted to examine how public online interest in SUI treatment has changed over time, especially in this context of controversy regarding synthetic meshes.

| A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial to Assess the Effectiveness of a Specially Formulated Food Supplement and Pelvic Floor Muscle Training in Women with Stress-Predominant Urinary Incontinence - Beyond the Abstract |
| Bence Kozma, MD, Ph.D. |
| This study emphasizes Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) as a first-line treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), known for its effectiveness. Long-term adherence to PFMT is often challenging. The trial suggests that combining a specially formulated food supplement with PFMT may lead to earlier and more significant clinical improvement in SUI symptoms.
