The effect of antiseizure medications on the exposure to combined oral contraceptives: A systematic review and network meta‐analysis

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Current recommendations for prescribing combined oral contraceptives (COCs) to people with epilepsy are often conflicting, particularly for weak inducers of cytochrome P450 3A4. We aimed to critically review the literature and compare the antiseizure medication (ASM)‐induced changes in exposure to COC components.

New and Emerging Artificial Urinary Sphincters for Male Stress Urinary Incontinence: From Gold Standard to Next Generation

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction For more than four decades, the AMS‐800 has remained the clinical benchmark device for the treatment of male stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Although it remains the gold standard for male SUI, the AMS‐800 has continued to have limitations such as suboptimal post‐operative continence rates, fixed hydraulic pressure, need for ...
