Periparturient mortality in merino ewes in Australia: Incidence, impact and the path to mitigation strategies

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Managing breeding ewe mortality is a priority for the Australian sheep industry. The periparturient period carries the highest risk of mortality, but the incidence and causes in Merino ewes are not well characterised. Here, we outline the reported incidence of annual and periparturient mortality for Australian Merino ewes, causes and risk factors for ...

Prevalence and risk factors of pelvic organ prolapse among women in Sidama region, Ethiopia: A community-based survey

Women's Health
Background: Pelvic organ prolapse is a descent of the vaginal compartments and the surrounding organ due to loss of support of the vaginal tissue. It has a significant psychological, physical, and social impact that affects women’s quality of life ...

The Novel and Minimally Invasive Treatment Modalities for Female Pelvic Floor Muscle Dysfunction; Beyond the Traditional

Balkan Medical Journal, 2018
Pelvic floor dysfunction is a clinical entity that is prevalent among female patients. Determining the exact underlying cause of pelvic floor dysfunction is difficult, and surgical intervention for this clinical entity may be challenging.

Intravaginal devices for running‐induced urinary incontinence symptoms in females: a study protocol

BJU International, EarlyView.
Background Exercise‐induced urinary incontinence (UI) can hinder physical activity, particularly in women engaging in high‐impact activities. This condition is linked to reduced passive support of the urethra and bladder. Intravaginal devices that support pelvic structures may offer a solution, but high‐quality evidence is lacking.

New approaches in modeling belt-flesh-pelvis interaction using obese GHBMC models [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Obesity is associated with higher fatality risk and altered distribution of occupant injuries in automotive collisions partially because of the increased depth of abdominal soft tissue, which results in limited or delayed engagement of the lap belt with the pelvis and increases the risk of pelvis submarining under the lap belt exposing occupant abdomen

SIRT1 Alleviates Oxidative Stress‐Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Mitochondria‐Associated Membrane Dysregulation in Stress Urinary Incontinence

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
SIRT1 activates mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy by facilitating the PGC‐1α/NRF1/TFAM and PINK1/Parkin signalling pathways and maintains the structural stability of MAMs and the normal expression of calcium channel‐related proteins, which alleviate ER stress and restore mitochondrial function, ultimately improving urodynamic parameters in the SUI

Cross-Domain Medical Image Translation by Shared Latent Gaussian Mixture Model [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Current deep learning based segmentation models often generalize poorly between domains due to insufficient training data. In real-world clinical applications, cross-domain image analysis tools are in high demand since medical images from different domains are often needed to achieve a precise diagnosis.

Improved Detection of Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Comparative Utility of Defecography Phase Sequence to Nondefecography Valsalva Maneuvers in Dynamic Pelvic Floor Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Current problems in diagnostic radiology, 2019
PURPOSE To evaluate the utility of a defecography phase (DP) sequence in dynamic pelvic floor MRI (DPMRI), in comparison to DPMRI utilizing only non-defecography Valsalva maneuvers (VM).

Use of flank laparoscopy in the standing horse as a diagnostic aid in horses with chronic abdominal pain

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Reaching a specific diagnosis in horses with chronic or recurrent abdominal pain may be challenging and elusive. Objectives The aim of this study was to report indications, findings and outcomes of equine exploratory laparoscopy in a case series to support its diagnostic value and identify potential limitations.
