Factors associated with urinary retention after vaginal delivery under intraspinal anesthesia: a path analysis model
ConclusionsThis study provides an empirical model to illustrate the relationship between PUR and related factors in women who delivered under intraspinal anesthesia. In future management, more attention should be paid to women who live in cities, have higher levels of postpartum pain, longer analgesic duration, higher grade of perineal edema, and received episiotomy, forceps delivery, and oxytocin during labor.

Does vaginal surgery for correction of pelvic organ prolapse improve urinary function? A prospective cohort study
ConclusionsPelvic organ prolapse surgery reduced the prevalence of urgency symptoms, and all questionnaires on urinary symptoms showed clinically significant improvement. Vaginal surgery for POP, even combined with MUS, significantly reduced PVR volume and improved urgency symptoms. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)

Injection site number and outcomes of intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA for refractory overactive bladder syndrome: a randomized clinical trial
ConclusionPatients ’ perception of pain, efficacy, and adverse events did not significantly differ between patients receiving 10 and those receiving 20 injections of 100 units of onabotulinumtoxinA. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)

Believing women: a qualitative exploration of provider disbelief and pain dismissal among women with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome from the MAPP research network
ConclusionsThe prevalence of provider disbelief and pain dismissal among women with IC/BPS indicates a need to improve physician –patient communication, informed by the struggles, anxieties, and gendered inequities that female patients with chronic pain experience in their diagnostic journey. Results suggest that further investigation into the power dynamics of clinical encounters might be required. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)

The acute effects of running on pelvic floor morphology and function in runners with and without running-induced stress urinary incontinence
ConclusionsRunning appears to cause transient strain of the passive tissues of the female pelvic floor in runners both with and without RI-SUI, whereas no concurrent changes are observed in PFM contractile function. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)

Investigating the lumbar proprioception and core muscles recruitment pattern while getting up from a chair with weight lifting in patients with chronic functional constipation: cross-sectional study
ConclusionsThe results of this study demonstrated that the lumbar proprioception sense was reduced in the case group. This result can be justified, based on the problems in constipation (lack of coordination of muscles, weakness of pelvic floor muscles). The coordination of core muscles changed in patients with chronic functional constipation during a functional task. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)

Evaluation of pelvic structural abnormalities in primiparous women with stress urinary incontinence
Conclusions3D reconstruction fusion technology provides an important support for a precise assessment of the pelvic floor dysfunction. The BSD, CUV, and iliococcygeus muscle volume have certain values in predicting de novo SUI after first vaginal birth. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)

Antibiotic utilization and symptom improvement in a retrospective cohort of women with urinary tract infection symptoms
ConclusionIn our cohort of older women with UTI symptoms, deferring antibiotics until urine culture  resulted appeared to be safe and decreased the use of inappropriate antibiotics. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)

The impact of verbal goal setting on operating room turnover time: a randomized trial
ConclusionOur academic center achieved goal turnover times in only 39.8% of cases. Although verbal prompting did not significantly improve the likelihood of meeting institutional goals in the group as a whole, some subgroups were significantly improved.
