Therapeutic Effects of AF219 on Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome Induced by Cyclophosphamide or Water Avoidance Stress in Rats
ConclusionsThese findings suggest that P2X3 receptors play a significant role in bladder functional responses, nociception, and also the pathogenesis of IC/BPS. AF219 may be a promising therapeutic strategy for IC/BPS. Comparing AF219 with current IC/BPS treatment agents in future studies may yield valuable insights into its efficacy.

Evaluation of Outcomes Between the Top-down Versus the Bottom-up Approach for Retropubic Midurethral Sling
ConclusionsThe top-down approach to retropubic MUS placement was associated with lower rates of mesh erosion in this population of patients. Neither approach is associated with an increased overall risk of complications or de novo overactive bladder symptoms. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)

Diastasis Recti Abdominis Rehabilitation in the Postpartum Period: A Scoping Review of Current Clinical Practice
ConclusionsReviewed studies provide valuable insights into exercise therapy, but it is important to recognize their limitations, as variability in diagnostic criteria, sample characteristics, and exercise program design hinder the generalizability of the findings. Further high-quality research is needed to strengthen the evidence in this area and provide reliable recommendations for clinical practice.

Assessment of Involuntary PFM Contractions in Comparison with Existing Literature and IUGA/ICS Terminology Reports
ConclusionsContrary to clinical expectations, rates of occurrence of involuntary PFM contraction among our cohort of nulliparous women were extremely low. Digital palpation results showed high agreement with the terminology reports, but only partial agreement was observed for the visual observation results. Our study underscores the need for more research aimed at defining normal involuntary PF functions, a review of our understanding of involuntary PFM contractions, and better standardized guidelines for involuntary PFM assessment methods.

Use of Methenamine for Urinary Tract Infection Prophylaxis: Systematic Review of Recent Evidence
ConclusionsThe use of methenamine for UTI prophylaxis was shown to be effective in a variety of settings without an increased risk of adverse effects compared with prophylactic antibiotics. Larger blinded clinical trials are needed to further define the role of methenamine in UTI prophylaxis. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)
