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

Performance Investigation of Four Ionospheric Models in Estimating hmF2 in High‐Latitude Regions
Abstract As a critical parameter characterizing the vertical structure of the ionosphere, the peak height of the F2 layer (hmF2) plays an essential role in frequency selection and signal propagation in high‐frequency (HF) communication systems. Accurate prediction of hmF2 is particularly important in high‐latitude regions.
