Female urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse are common diseases especially in aged women that frequently cause urogenital infection, voiding difficulty, urinary retention, pelvic pain, constipation, and coital difficulty, as well as impact the quality of life of women. Risk factors of the above diseases include pregnancy, vaginal delivery, and menopausal status. Despite playing a crucial role in the pathophysiology of the above diseases, the urogenital skeletal muscular dysfunction cannot be fully corrected via the current treatment modalities. The human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) represent a prime candidate cell type for current research and future cell therapy because of their significant self-renewal, differentiation potential and the relative lack of ethical conflict. With the advent of efficient technology of reprogramming peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into hiPSCs, researchers can generate personalized lines of cells from which it will be possible to obtain differentiated cells in a less invasive way, introducing opportunities in treating diseases that are now considered incurable. Until very recently, little success has been achieved in terms of skeletal muscle differentiation from hiPSCs. The purpose of this study is to explore the applicability of the differentiation into skeletal muscle progenitor cells from hiPSC cell lines and the associated biomolecular messages. It is anticipated that the derived skeletal muscle progenitor cells can be reprogrammed from PBMCs of female patients with urinary incontinence and/or pelvic organ prolapse and used in preclinical testing for relieving female urogenital problems.
Introduction: Minimally invasive procedures TOT (tension-free suburethral tape using transobturator approach)have been the standard for correction of SUI. However, around 28% of these patients exhibit alteration of urinary flow. Recently, in 40 patients who underwent open surgery, an abdominal fascia tape was placed in a subtrigonal position with a success rate of 87.5% without obstruction. Our intention is to make the most of the idea of subtrigonal position in minimally invasive procedures with transobturator polypropylene vaginal tape (S-TOT). Object of the Study: To evaluate the efficacy and security of S-TOT compared with TOT. Materials and Methods: Study Population: Patients of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) with an SUI diagnosis. Eligibility requirements: history of at least 3 months with symptoms of isolated SUI or symptoms of SUI associated with urge urinary incontinence (mixed UI). The size of the sample was estimated 34 subjects are required per group. Study Design: It is a parallel group randomized clinical trial. Success (efficacy) will be defined as when the SUI has been corrected with negative pad test and normal urinary flow. The results (efficacy) will be compared between the two groups using chi2 (group a/b versus success/lack of success). In all cases, p <0.05 will be considered significant. The data will be obtained with clinical evaluation, laboratory and radiological/imaging tests and the respective questionnaires during the visits before surgery, and at 2 and 6 weeks, and 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery.
Several treatment modalities for children suffering from monosymptomathic nocturnal enuresis are available including drugs, alarms, acupuncture, pelvic floor training and biofeedback. The aim of this study is to to test if Paula Method (circular muscle exercise) can be an another treatment modality.
