TL;DR: This study has shown improvement in MUI after bulking Therapy according to both subjective and objective outcomes, and can advocate bulking therapy for treating MUI, as it is simple and safe and shows both objective and subjective improvement and relief.
Abstract: Mixed urinary incontinence (MUI), defined as mixed symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and overactive bladder (OAB), is a difficult entity if conservative treatment has failed. Cure rates are low compared with SUI, particularly the OAB component, may deteriorate after sling insertion. Bulking agents pose an appealing alternative for the treatment of MUI. They have shown beneficial effect in small case studies, but larger series are lacking. The aim of this prospective study was an analysis of treatment efficacy and safety profile of the bulking agent, Bulkamid, in female patients with MUI. One hundred fifty-four women with MUI symptoms (components of SUI/OAB within the limits of 60–40% either way) received bulking therapy with polyacrylamide hydrogel (Bulkamid). Patients were followed-up 3 months postoperatively. Primary outcome was the domain Incontinence impact on the King’s Health Questionnaire (KHQ). Secondary outcomes were the other KHQ domains, visual analog scale (VAS), and International Continence Society (ICS) standardized pad weight test as objective measurement of incontinence. Statistically significant improvements were found for all KHQ domains, pad weight test, and the visual analog scale (VAS) before and after bulking. Overall complication rate was 13%. This study has shown improvement in MUI after bulking therapy according to both subjective and objective outcomes. We can advocate bulking therapy for treating MUI, as it is simple and safe and shows both objective and subjective improvement and relief. Long-term results (up to 1 year) are awaited.

TL;DR: The process by which estrogen affects the tissues of the urogenital tract, what symptoms occur during this period and what modalities of treatments are available are reviewed.
Abstract: Currently, 25% of women seek the advice of a medical professional for symptoms related to the menopause. However, with an increasingly ageing and medically aware population, it is likely this proportion will grow. The main symptoms related to the menopause are systemic vasomotor and localized urogenital symptoms. Numerous forms of estrogen have been used to alleviate these symptoms. Further problems that increase during the menopause include incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and recurrent urinary tract infections. This article reviews the process by which estrogen affects the tissues of the urogenital tract, what symptoms occur during this period and what modalities of treatments are available.

TL;DR: A framework genetic map of human chromosome 2 is described, integrating data from the Centre d'Étude du Polymorphisme Humain (CEPH) version 6 database, the CEPH chromosome 2 consortium database, and the National Institute of Health/CEPH Collaborative Mapping group and other laboratories.
Abstract: SUMMARY
A framework genetic map of human chromosome 2 is described, integrating data from the Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain (CEPH) version 6 database, the CEPH chromosome 2 consortium database, the National Institute of Health (NIH)/CEPH Collaborative Mapping group and other laboratories. A comprehensive map is also presented, showing regional locations of a large number of additional loci. The framework map is used to identify an informative set of meiotic breakpoints within the CEPH families, and the utility of this information for mapping new markers is discussed. The degree of typing error within the data set is estimated, as are the sex-specific interference parameters. A location database for these genetic and additional cytogenetic data is constructed using algorithms which map genetic distances on to a physical scale, and the potential for this approach to aid the integration of genetic and physical data is examined.

TL;DR: Women with established CAD have relatively low rates of adverse cardiac events in pregnancy, but Rates of adverse obstetric and neonatal events are greater, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary care.
Abstract: Background Pregnancy outcomes in women with pre-existing coronary artery disease (CAD) are poorly described. There is a paucity of data therefore on which to base clinical management to counsel women, with regard to both maternal and neonatal outcomes. Method We conducted a retrospective multicentre study of women with established CAD delivering at 16 UK specialised cardiac obstetric clinics. We included pregnancies of 24 weeks’ gestation or more, delivered between January 1998 and October 2018. Data were collected on maternal cardiovascular, obstetric and neonatal events. Results 79 women who had 92 pregnancies (94 babies including two sets of twins) were identified. 35.9% had body mass index >30% and 24.3% were current smokers. 18/79 (22.8%) had prior diabetes, 27/79 (34.2%) had dyslipidaemia and 21/79 (26.2%) had hypertension. The underlying CAD was due to atherosclerosis in 52/79 (65.8%), spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) in 11/79 (13.9%), coronary artery spasm in 7/79 (8.9%) and thrombus in 9/79 (11.4%). There were six adverse cardiac events (6.6% event rate), one non-ST elevation myocardial infarction at 23 weeks’ gestation, two SCAD recurrences (one at 26 weeks’ gestation and one at 9 weeks’ postpartum), one symptomatic deterioration in left ventricular function and two women with worsening angina. 14% of women developed pre-eclampsia, 25% delivered preterm and 25% of infants were born small for gestational age. Conclusion Women with established CAD have relatively low rates of adverse cardiac events in pregnancy. Rates of adverse obstetric and neonatal events are greater, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary care.
