Filter by:Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) is a gold standard in the surgical treatment of morbid obesity. We hypothesize that the addition of truncal vagotomy (cutting of nerves to the stomach) will produce greater weight loss and better reduction of co-morbidities (diseases caused by or aggravated by morbid obesity) than LAGB alone. 25 patients will be enrolled and outcomes compared to LAGB historical controls over a post-operative period of 24 months.
This study is being done to compare frequency of urination during the night when women take tolterodine tablets vs. when they take placebo tablets. We will also measure whether between these two treatment conditions there are any differences in women's sleep, mood and performance on cognitive tests.
Aim: To evaluate the long term effect of pelvic floor muscle training in women with urinary incontinence after ischemic stroke measured by quality of life paramters.
Painful bladder syndrome (PBS)/interstitial cystitis (IC) may be due to the actions of nitric oxide (NO) in the bladder tissue. NO is a gaseous substance with a very short half-life, synthesized by a group of NO-synthase-enzymes in many tissues. The goal of this study is to illuminate bladder tissue production of NO in individuals with PBS and healthy individuals, by quantification of NO and NO-enzyme expression by different molecular biological methods.
The purpose of this study is to determine the objective (urodynamic) cure rates and effect on patient quality of life after six months of treatment for two different nonsurgical management options for genuine stress urinary incontinence in females: weighted vaginal cones and formal supervised pelvic floor physiotherapy with biofeedback. Hypothesis: Assuming a minimum of six months of treatment, weighted vaginal cones are as effective as a formal supervised program of pelvic floor physiotherapy with biofeedback for the treatment of uncomplicated genuine stress urinary incontinence in females.
The purpose of this study is to determine if pelvic exercises can reduce the occurrence of urinary incontinence (involuntary loss of urine) before and after delivery. We would also like to see if performing pelvic exercises before birth has an effect on labor and/or delivery, and if there are any specific characteristics for developing urinary incontinence during pregnancy and after delivery.
The Colpopexy and Urinary Reduction Effort (CARE) trial is a research study designed to evaluate whether the addition of a second surgical procedure in addition to a procedure for female pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects the rates of urinary incontinence. This study will follow women in the CARE study for 10 years from the time of the surgery to compare success and complication rates in the two groups. Recruitment into this study is open only to women that already participated in CARE. Recruitment into CARE is closed.
The purpose of this study is to examine complementary and alternative medicine use among older Mexican Americans and to determine how this use influences physical, functional, and mental health.
