Transperineal Ultrasound in Chronic Pelvic Pain: A Systematic Review

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract illustrating the systematic review process and highlighting key pelvic floor musculature (PFM) alterations detected by transperineal ultrasound (TPU) in patients with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and associated conditions. These findings provide insights to enhance understanding and management of CPP.

Understanding the Concept of Self‐Performed Ultrasound: A Scoping Review

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Self‐performed ultrasound is an emerging technology that facilitates adept self‐scans in untrained hands. Inspired by self‐performed imaging in space for more prompt diagnosis and therapy, it has the potential to accurately monitor chronic conditions remotely. However, the lack of supervision and physical restraints can hinder its usability.

Effects of fatigue are more pronounced on the uninjured side during single‐limb jumps 2 years after an acute Achilles tendon rupture

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) is a serious lower limb injury that may result in persistent deficits in strength and endurance of the calf muscles. Compensatory mechanisms at proximal joints are known, but the effects of fatigue are less studied.

Recent Advances in Cryogel Applications for Musculoskeletal Regeneration

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels have been widely used in tissue engineering due to their high‐water content and biocompatibility, yet their densely cross‐linked microstructure inherently limits cell infiltration, mass transport, and mechanical support. Cryogels, formed through partial freezing and crosslinking under subzero conditions, provide unique 3D macroporous

Utility of Pelvic Floor Therapy and Behavioral Interventions in the Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction (NLUTD) Population

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) describes a wide range of symptoms depending on neurologic diagnosis and the resulting bladder and sphincter dysfunction. This narrative review is designed to address the question regarding which NLUTD population benefits most from pelvic floor therapy and behavioral interventions, and ...

Urinary Incontinence and Risk of All‐Cause Mortality: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Observational Studies

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Urinary incontinence (UI) is a prevalent condition among adults and imposes a substantial societal burden, yet its association with all‐cause mortality remains uncertain. This study systematically reviewed and quantified the association between UI and mortality risk.

Urodynamic Voiding Patterns in Multiple Sclerosis

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims This study aimed to describe urodynamic voiding patterns in patients with MS (PwMS) using standardized assessments, and to compare the performance of the available nomograms and indices for obstruction and bladder contractility. Methods PwMS and lower urinary tract symptoms underwent cystometry and pressure flow studies.
