Estrogen and Progesterone Exhibit Distinct Yet Coordinated Roles in the Regulation of Tendon Extracellular Matrix Remodeling

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is required for the proper healing, strengthening, and maintenance of tendon tissue. There are well‐documented sex differences in tendon injury rates and healing outcomes, often attributed to either innate differences in tissue structure and resident cell signaling or the influence of sex hormones ...

Efficacy of biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training in females with pelvic floor dysfunction

Alexandria Journal of Medicine, 2015
Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), fecal incontinence (FI) and/or pelvic floor dyssynergia, with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) are described as pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD). Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is the first-line therapy in the treatment of PFD either alone or combined with biofeedback assisted pelvic floor muscle training ...

Anorectal gastric heterotopia as a rare cause of constipation: Case report and review of pediatric literature

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Gastric heterotropia (GHT) may present from the oropharynx to the anus and is commonly associated with Meckel's diverticula. Here, we describe a rare case of anorectal GHT localized to the distal anal canal. A 14‐month‐old male patient presented for evaluation of rectal bleeding, severe constipation, and abdominal distention with poor response

[Pelvic floor muscle training and pelvic floor disorders in women].

Gynecologie, obstetrique & fertilite, 2015
Our goal is to provide an update on the results of pelvic floor rehabilitation in the treatment of urinary incontinence and genital prolapse symptoms.Pelvic floor muscle training allows a reduction of urinary incontinence symptoms. Pelvic floor muscle contractions supervised by a healthcare professional allow cure in half cases of stress urinary ...

Pain‐related fear induces aberrant drop jump landing biomechanics in healthy and anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed females

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a prevalent and debilitating injury typically arising from aberrant biomechanics during landing or deceleration tasks. Pain‐related fear, a component of kinesiophobia, has been associated with poor functional outcomes and altered movement patterns in individuals with ACL reconstruction

Is endoanal, introital or transperineal ultrasound diagnosis of sphincter defects more strongly associated with anal incontinence? [PDF]

, 2020
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Our aim was to explore the association between anal incontinence (AI) and persistent anal sphincter defects diagnosed with 3D endoanal (EAUS), introital (IUS) and transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) in women after obstetric anal ...
