Do Ultrasound Measures of Bladder Neck Location and Movement During Pelvic Floor Contraction or Straining Relate to Bladder Neck Support During Voiding?

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Poor support of the bladder neck is common in voiding dysfunction but remains difficult to assess. Transperineal ultrasound imaging during voiding provides reliable measures but is not yet implemented in practice. This study aimed to investigate whether conventional measures of bladder neck position during straining and pelvic floor ...

Chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy versus physical therapist‐led exercise and the risk of cauda equina syndrome in adults with lumbar disc herniation, stenosis, or radiculopathy

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cauda equina syndrome is a surgical emergency often caused by lumbar disc herniation. Spinal manipulative therapy is commonly used for lumbar spine disorders, but case reports have raised concerns it may precipitate cauda equina syndrome. One cohort study suggested no increased risk, although it did not focus on patients with lumbar

Machine learning‐based predictive models versus traditional risk scores in hemodialysis patients with comorbid urolithiasis

Precision Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
Machine learning‐based predictive models outperform traditional risk scores in hemodialysis patients with comorbid urolithiasis by capturing nonlinear, dialysis‐specific interactions. These approaches enable more accurate prediction of stone recurrence, sepsis, hospitalization, and mortality, supporting personalized risk stratification and precision ...
