TL;DR: Treatment results with short-term electrical stimulation therapy in 310 incontinent patients are reported and this therapeutic method was well-accepted, especially as a home treatment program.
Abstract: Treatment results with short-term electrical stimulation therapy in 310 incontinent patients are reported. Cure or improvement was obtained in 56% of cases. This therapeutic method was well-accepted, especially as a home treatment program.

TL;DR: In other bioassays with single inhibitors, larval growth was suppressed by the cysteine proteinase inhibitors from potato, Job's tears, or sea anemone, and proteinaceous inhibitors are promising candidates for transgenic seed technology to reduce seed damage by T. castaneum.
Abstract: The physiology of the gut lumen of the red flour beetle, T. castaneum, was studied to determine the conditions for optimal protein hydrolysis. Although the pH of gut lumen extracts from T. castaneum was 6.5, maximum hydrolysis of casein by gut proteinases occurred at pH 4.2. The synthetic substrate N-alpha-benzoyl-DL-arginine-rho-nitroanilide was hydrolyzed by T. castaneum gut proteinases in both acidic and alkaline buffers, whereas hydrolysis of N-succinyl-ala-ala-pro-phe rho-nitroanilide occurred in alkaline buffer. Inhibitors of T. castaneum digestive proteinases were examined to identify potential biopesticides for incorporation in transgenic seed. Cysteine proteinase inhibitors from potato, Job's tears, and sea anemone (equistatin) were effective inhibitors of in vitro casein hydrolysis by T. castaneum proteinases. Other inhibitors of T. castaneum proteinases included leupeptin, L-trans-epoxysuccinylleucylamido [4-guanidino] butane (E-64), tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone, and antipain. Casein hydrolysis was inhibited weakly by chymostatin, N-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone, and soybean trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz). The soybean trypsin inhibitor had no significant effect on growth when it was bioassayed alone, but it was effective when used in combination with potato cysteine proteinase inhibitor. In other bioassays with single inhibitors, larval growth was suppressed by the cysteine proteinase inhibitors from potato, Job's tears, or sea anemone. Levels of inhibition were similar to that observed with E-64, although the moles of proteinaceous inhibitor tested were approximately 1000-fold less. These proteinaceous inhibitors are promising candidates for transgenic seed technology to reduce seed damage by T. castaneum.

TL;DR: In this paper, surface modification of extended PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) foil after treatment in oxygen and nitrogen plasma is presented, and the appearance of the functional groups on the sample surface is determined by using high-resolution XPS.
Abstract: A study on surface modification of extended PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) foil after treatment in oxygen and nitrogen plasma is presented. PTFE was exposed to a weakly ionized, highly dissociated RF plasma with a high density of neutral atoms. The gas pressure was 75 Pa and the discharge power was 200 W. The appearance of the functional groups on the sample surface was determined by using high-resolution XPS. The results showed that oxygen plasma treatment did not cause any noticeable changes in the surface composition, while after nitrogen plasma treatment new functional groups were detected on the surface.
