Filter by:Urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy surgery is a common condition that negatively affects daily life. Patients often experience discomfort due to urine leakage and the resulting need to use pads daily. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology used therapeutically in patients with urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy.
The clinical study aims to measure the changes in the stratum corneum on older healthy participants due to the application of a wet pad on the forearm. Participants are subject to baseline measures of TransEpidermalWaterLoss (TEWL), skin hydration (SH), pH and water profile (raman spectroscopy). Dry or wet pads are then added to the skin and worn for two hours. After a recovery period, the SkinSurfaceWaterLoss (SSWL) and skin hydration and water profile is measured. The study is conducted over a single visit. Pads on the arms consist of incontinence product cutouts and are loaded to 50% or 100% capacity. The endpoints are the changes in stratum corneum as measured by the instruments during the visit.
A cohort study comparing the novel 'Sexual Minorities and Prostate Cancer Scale' (SMACS) to the gold standard questionnaires investigating erectile dysfunction (IIEF) and incontinence (ICIQLUTSqol and ICIQ-UI) following robotic assisted radical prostatectomy
The smart diaper aims to (1) detect humidity, (2) be capable of sending real-time indication of the saturation to the healthcare workers when urine loss occurs and (3) generate alerts when the diaper requires changing. Potential benefits of the smart diaper compared to incontinence management products without sensor technology include: workload reduction, increased comfort for residents and staff, more person-centred care, increased quality of care, less skin damage and economic (e.g. less costs due to less excessive diaper changes), and/or environmental (e.g. less waste) gains.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of yoga on both fall risk factors AND capacity to successfully control landing and descent during a simulated fall among peri-and post- menopausal women. Older women are particularly vulnerable to sustaining fall-related injuries and although targeted exercises focusing on balance and strength may decrease the risk of falls, the ideal type of intervention to prevent injury when a fall is unavoidable is not known. Yoga is an increasingly popular health practice with potential benefits linked to improving balance, muscle strength and quality of life, but there is no evidence that yoga can improve the capacity to reduce the risk of fall-related injury. Such evidence will help to inform health promotion and fall/injury risk management for older adults.
The researchers investigated whether endoscopic retrograde urethral interventions applied for various reasons after radical prostatectomy (RP) operation cause a change in urinary incontinence (UI) level, and if there is a change, whether it changes according to the endoscopic procedure time and the endoscopic instrument used.
A comparison of changes between symptoms of incontinence and pediatric quality of life will be used to draw conclusions about whether differences in quality of life are noted with changes in symptoms of incontinence.
The aim of the study is to explore the criteria and conditions for the integration of sensor technology in disposable pads according to the needs and opinions of residents with incontinence, healthcare workers, and policymakers in nursing homes.
In this randomised trial, we hypothesised that mebeverine could enhance nocturnal continenece of Orthotopic Bladder Substitute (OBS) patients by decreasing the frequency and reduce maximum amplitude of uninhibited contractions of OBS ileum, and consequently it would increase the OBS capacity
Overprescribing opioids is considered a major contributor to the opioid crisis. Hill et al. demonstrated that within a general surgery practice, over 70% of the prescribed opioid pills were never taken. Disturbingly, 45% of patients who did not take opioids at all on their day of discharge were discharged with an opioid prescription (Chen et al). Recent initiatives have attempted to utilize restrictive opioid prescribing protocols for postoperative pain management in which patients were prescribed a limited number of opioid tablets (Hallway et al) or prescribed opioids only if they were used as an inpatient (Mark et al). These well-conducted studies show that restrictive opioid prescribing policies achieve the goal of reducing excess opioid exposure without causing undue harm, inconvenience or dissatisfaction among patients. The objective of this study is to determine if a restrictive opioid prescription protocol (in which patients are not prescribed postoperative opioids unless they request them) is acceptable to patients after ambulatory and major urogynecologic surgery, compared to standard opioid prescribing practices. The study investigators believe that physicians can capitalize on the new ability to electronically prescribe opioids for patients who require them, to prevent over-prescribing without impacting patient care. The study also intends to describe postoperative opioid use patterns in the urogynecologic population, including factors predictive of opioid use and non-use. The results of this research will have a significant and timely impact by helping to reduce opioid overprescribing and informing future prescribing guidelines in the field of urogynecology.
