Patient satisfaction after retropubic and transobturator slings: first assessment using the Incontinence Outcome Questionnaire (IOQ) [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction and hypothesis: The aim of the Incontinence Outcome Questionnaire (IOQ) is to assess quality of life and patient-reported outcome after midurethral slings. Methods: In this retrospective study, 626 patients with a minimum follow-up period of

Determination of the Entropic Heat Coefficient of Lithium‐Ion Batteries Based on a Continuous Measurement Method

Batteries &Supercaps, EarlyView.
Understanding thermal battery behavior is essential for performance, safety, and longevity in automotive applications. This work presents a method to determine entropic‐heat coefficients using continuous quasi‐open‐circuit‐voltage measurements. The method's accuracy and robustness are validated through comparison with potentiometric measurements ...

Primary transmissible venereal tumour in the nasal cavity of two dogs [PDF]

, 2004
Transmissible venereal tumour (TVT) is a common tumour affecting dogs especially strays. Usually, the external genitalia is most frequently affected. Although there are reports of extra-genitalia TVT (usually secondary), incidence in the nasal cavity as ...

Intra‐Annular Versus Supra‐Annular Self‐Expanding Valves for Valve‐in‐Valve TAVR

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A limitation of Valve‐in‐Valve (VIV) transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is patient‐prosthesis mismatch (PPM), which is associated with worse quality of life and heart failure hospitalizations. As such, strategies to avoid PPM are desired. We compared the clinical and hemodynamic results of VIV TAVR with intra‐annular self‐

The biharmonic homotopy problem for unit vector fields on 2-tori

, 2018
The bienergy of smooth maps between Riemannian manifolds, when restricted to unit vector fields, yields two different variational problems depending on whether one takes the full functional or just the vertical contribution. Their critical points, called

Exact Outage Performance Analysis of Multiuser Multi-relay Spectrum Sharing Cognitive Networks [PDF]

, 2015
In this paper, we investigate the outage performance of dual-hop multiuser multi-relay cognitive radio networks under spectrum sharing constraints. Using an efficient relay-destination selection scheme, the exact and asymptotic closed-form expressions ...

Retropubic versus transobturator slings: Medium‐term satisfaction and overactive bladder outcomes

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study compares medium‐term outcomes of retropubic tension‐free vaginal tape (TVT) and transobturator tape (TOT) for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), focusing on patient satisfaction and overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. Methods This prospective, single‐surgeon cohort study included women with SUI who underwent TVT or TOT at a

Respiratory Motion‐Corrected Model‐Based 3D Water‐Fat MRA of the Thorax at 0.55 T

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The goal of this study was to develop a 5‐min 3D MRA acquisition at 0.55 T with predictable scan time, 100% data efficiency, and robust water‐fat separation. Methods For full data efficiency, the proposed method combined self‐gating with retrospective motion correction while ensuring a predictable 5‐min scan time.
