The objective: definition of the norm of ultrasound indicators and their dynamics in the postoperative period in patients after correction of prolapse of pelvic organs (POP) and stress incontinence (SUI). Materials and methods. 85 patients with POP and SUI were observed. These women were divided into groups according to the stage of POP and SUI: group 2 – 32 patients with I and II stages of POP and SUI 2a, 2b types of light and moderate severity; group 3 (main) – 53 patients with III and IV stages of POP and SUI type 3 moderate and severe severity. This group of patients subsequently undergone operative treatment according to the patent for utility model No. 109201. The main group (3rd group) included: 3.1 group – 28 women with III and IV stages of POP and SUI type 3 moderate and severe severity without delay in urination; 3.2 group – 25 women with III and IV stages of POP and SUI type 3 moderate and severe severity with delay of urination (chronic or acute). 15 women were examined without complaints, who entered the control group (1st group). Results. The study of ultrasound indicators in the dynamics after treatment in women with POP and SUI made it possible: to determine the recovery period for the anatomical position of the pelvic organs, assess the effectiveness of the treatment and rehabilitation of women. Conclusion. According to the data obtained, with an increase in the posterior urethro-vesic angle greater than 114° with POP and SUI, conservative treatment of this pathology is inexpedient. After the operative treatment of women with POP and SUI, the ultrasoud indicators recovered after 24 months. Key words: pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, ultrasound

Results. According to the results of the study, it was recorded that, regardless of the stage of the POP and SUI, even it’s minimal manifestation significantly reduces the quality of life of patients (by 64%) due to the impact on the physical, but greater, on the psychological components of health. Conclusion. The absolute criterion for operative treatment is a set of prolapse of the pelvic organs (POP), urinary incontinence, vesicularization of the bladder type 2a and above, an increase of the posterior urethro-vascular angle of more than 114°. Treatment of stress urinary incontinence on the background of POP should necessarily include fixation of the uterine ligaments and the Berch surgery because of significant deformation of the bladder neck. Key words: pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, methods of diagnostics.

Abstract Purpose of the study. Clarification of absolute and relative criteria for the surgical treatment of pelvic pelvic prolapse (PMT) and stress urinary incontinence (SNA). Materials and methods. A survey was conducted on 85 patients in whom OST and SNA were detected. The women were divided into groups according to the stage of POMT and SNM: 2nd group – 32 patients with PIDs of stages I and II and SNM 2a, 2b types of lung and moderate severity; Group 3 (main) - 53 patients with MIDI III and IV stages and MSM type 3 moderate and severe severity. This group of patients subsequently undergone operative treatment according to the patent for utility model No. 109201. The main group (3rd group) included: 3a group – 28 women from the OMT III and IV stages and SNM 3rd type of medium and severe severity without delay in urination; 3b group – 25 women with STI III and IV stages and SNM of type 3 of moderate and severe degree of severity with delay of urination (chronic or acute). 15 women were examined without complaints, who entered the control group (1st group). Results. According to the results of the study, it was recorded that, regardless of the stage of the PMS and SNM, even their minimal manifestations significantly reduced the quality of life of patients (by 64%) due to the impact on the physical, but to a greater extent, on the psychological components of health. Conclusion. The absolute criterion for operative treatment is a set of prolapse of the pelvic organs (PMTCT), urinary incontinence, vesicularization of the bladder type 2a and above, an increase in the posterior urethro-vascular angle of more than 114 °. Treatment of stress urinary incontinence on the background of OST should necessarily include fixation of the uterine ligation apparatus and surgery on the Berch in connection with significant deformation of the bladder neck. Keywords: pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, methods of diagnostics.

Introduction: The exact definition of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infant is still controversial among clinicians. In this study, we aimed to understand which definition is better in terms of establishing both early postnatal problems and growth. In this way, we compared early neonatal problems and infancy growth of term infants with birth weight (BW) < -2 SDS and with BW between 10th percentile (−1.28 SDS) and −2 SDS.Methods: A single center retrospective cohort study was conducted. Preterm infants, multiple gestations and newborns with any congenital anomalies were excluded from the study. Study group was defined as Group 1 (n = 37), infants BW < −2.00 SDS; Group 2 (n = 129), between −1.28 and −2.00 SDS; and Group 3 (n = 137), randomly selected newborns with optimal-for-gestational-age (BW between −0.67 and +0.67 SDS) as a control group.Results: The incidence of severe hypoglycemia was highest in Group 1 (%10.8) and Group 2 and 3 had similar rates of severe hypoglycemia (0.8 and 0.7%, respectively). The incidence of polycythemia was 5.4% in Group 1 and was significantly higher than Group 3 (0.0%) while it was 2.3% in Group 2. Short stature (length < −2 SDS) ratio at the age of 1 and 2 years were similar in each group. Overweight/obesity ratio at the age of 1 were 9.5, 20.8 and 16.7% in each group, respectively (p = 0.509).Conclusion: This study was planned as a pilot study to determine potential differences in the problems of hypoglycemia, polycythemia, and growth according to the differences in definition. Short term disturbances such as hypoglycemia and polycythemia are found to be higher in infants with a BW SDS below −2. From this point of view, of course, it will not be possible to change the routine applications immediately, however this study will be an initiative for discussions by making long-term studies.

The objective: is to determine the main criteria for the conduct of surgical treatment of prolapse of pelvic organs (POP) and associated with it stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Patients and methods. 85 women were examined with with prolapse of pelvic organs (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). They were divided into the following groups: 2nd group – 32 patients with prolapse of pelvic organs 1–2 degrees of severity and incontinence 2a, 2b types, mild and moderate severity; 3rd group (primary) – 53 patients with prolapse of pelvic organs of 3–4 degrees of severity and SUI of type 3, moderate and severe severity. The main group included: 3a group – 28 women with prolapse of pelvic organs 3–4 degrees of severity and with SUI 3 type, moderate and severe severity, without delay with urination; 3b group – 25 women with prolapse of pelvic organs 3–4 degrees of severity and with SUI 3 type, moderate and severe severity, with urinary retention (chronic or acute). The control group (group 1) consisted of 15 women without urologic and gynecological pathology. Methods: clinical-anamnestic, instrumental, radiographic, statistical. Results. It was determined that in patients with SUI there are changes in the posterior urethro-vesic angle (PUVU), bladder vesication, signs of connective tissue dysplasia (CTD), and obesity. Conclusions. The combination of such criteria as an increase in the PUVU greater than 114° and the vesiculation of bladder type 2a and above is the main criterion for conducting an operative intervention. Key words: prolapse of pelvic organs, stress urinary incontinence, diagnostics.

Abstract Background Endotracheal intubation is known to pose significant physiological, pharmacokinetic, and dynamic changes and postoperative respiratory complications in patients under general anesthesia. Method An RCT trial was organized by the Third Affiliated Hospital at Sun Yat-sen University, China. Patients were eligible for inclusion in the trial if they were over 60 years old and had upper-abdominal surgery during the induction of anesthesia and had enrolled in endotracheal intubations. The primary end point included cardiovascular reactions during the induction of anesthesia and endotracheal intubations and cough events during the recovery period. In the test group, 2 g of lidocaine/prilocaine cream (and in the control group, 2 g of Vaseline) were laid over the surface of the tracheal tube cuff. Results The systolic blood pressure (F value = 62.271, p < 0.001), diastolic blood pressure (F value = 150.875, p < 0.001), and heart rate (F value = 75.627, p < 0.001) of the test group were significantly lower than the control group. Cough events during the recovery period in the test group were better (spontaneous cough, χ2 value = 10.591, p < 0.001; induced cough, χ2 value =10.806, p < 0.001). Conclusion In older patients, coughing and cardiovascular reactions under anesthesia and endotracheal intubations were reduced, as a result of using lidocaine/prilocaine cream on the surface of the tracheal tube cuff.

Study design: Four groups, between-subjects study. Objectives: To investigate the effects of exercise on adaptation of normal subjects who had been artificially spatially disoriented. Background: Many patients referred for rehabilitation experience sensory changes, due to age or disease processes, and these changes affect motor skill. The best way to train patients to adapt to these changes and to improve their sensorimotor skills is unclear. Using normal subjects, we tested the hypothesis that active, planned head movement is needed to adapt to modified visual input. Methods and measures: Eighty male and female subjects who had normal balance on computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) and the dynamic gait index (DGI), were randomly assigned to four groups. All groups donned diagonally shift lenses and were again assessed with CDP and DGI. The four groups were then treated for 20 min. Group 1 (control group) viewed a video, Group 2 performed exercise that involved translating the entire body through space, but without separate, volitional head movement, Group 3 performed exercises which all incorporated volitional, planned head rotations, and Group 4 performed exercises that involved translating the body (as in Group 2) and incorporated volitional, planned head motion (as in Group 3). All subjects were post-tested with CDP and DGI, lenses were removed, and subjects were retested again with CDP and DGI. Results: The groups did not differ significantly on CDP scores but Groups 3 and 4 had significantly better DGI scores than Groups 1 and 2. Conclusions: Active head movement that is specifically planned as part of the exercise is more effective than passive attention or head movements that are not consciously planned, for adapting to sensorimotor change when it incorporates active use of the changed sensory modality, in this case head motion.

Preemptive analgesia inhibits the progression of pain caused by surgical lesions. To analyze the effect of lidocaine on postoperative pain relief, we performed compression of the right sciatic nerve in Wistar rats and observed the differences on behavior between the group that received lidocaine and the group that was not treated with the local anesthetics pre-operatively. Group 1 was not operated (control); group 2 underwent the sciatic nerve ligature without lidocaine; group 3, underwent surgery with previous local infiltration of lidocaine. Group 2 showed significantly longer scratching times with a peak on day 14 post-operative (p=0.0005) and reduction in the latency to both noxious (p=0.003) and non-noxious (p=0.004) thermal stimulus. Group 3 presented significantly shorter scratching times (p=0.004) and longer latency times when compared to Group 2. Preemptive use of lidocaine 2% can potentially reduce the postoperative neuropathic pain associated with sciatic nerve compression.

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the postoperative morphine-sparing effects and reduction in pain and secondary mechanical hyperalgesia after preincisional or postincisional epidural administration of a local anesthetic and an opioid compared with a sham epidural control. Methods Patients undergoing major gynecologic surgery by laparotomy were randomly assigned to three groups and studied in a double-blinded manner. Group 1 received epidural lidocaine and fentanyl before incision and epidural saline 40 min after incision. Group 2 received epidural saline before incision and epidural lidocaine and fentanyl 40 min after incision. Group 3 received a sham epidural control (with saline injected into a catheter taped to the back) before and 40 min after incision. All patients underwent surgery with general anesthesia. Results One hundred forty-one patients completed the study (group 1, n = 45; group 2, n = 49; group 3, n = 47). Cumulative patient-controlled analgesia morphine consumption at 48 h was significantly lower (P = 0.04) in group 1 (89.8 +/- 43.3 mg) than group 3 (112.5 +/- 71.5 mg) but not group 2 (95.4 +/- 60.2 mg), although the hourly rate of morphine consumption between 24 and 48 h after surgery was significantly lower (P &lt; 0.0009) in group 1 (1.25 +/- 0.02 mg/h) than group 2 (1.41 +/- 0.02 mg/h). Twenty-four hours after surgery, the visual analog scale pain score on movement was significantly less intense (P = 0.005) in group 1 (4.9 +/- 2.2 cm) than group 3 (6.0 +/- 2.6 cm) but not group 2 (5.3 +/- 2.5 cm), and the von Frey pain threshold near the wound was significantly higher (P = 0.03) in group 1 (6.4 +/- 0.6 log mg) than in group 3 (6.1 +/- 0.8 log mg) but not group 2 (6.2 +/- 0.7 log mg). Conclusions Preincisional administration of epidural lidocaine and fentanyl was associated with a significantly lower rate of morphine use, lower cumulative morphine consumption, and reduced hyperalgesia compared with a sham epidural condition. These results highlight the importance of including a standard treatment control group to avoid the problems of interpretation that arise when two-group studies of preemptive analgesia (preincisional vs. postsurgery) fail to find the anticipated effects.

Aim. To investigate the effects of MnTE-2-PyP on some markers of antioxidant defence system in asthma mice model.Material and Methods. The animals were divided into four groups: group 1, controls; group 2, injected with ovalbumin, group 3, treated with MnTE-2-PyP, and group 4, treated with ovalbumin and MnTE-2-PyP. The activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and nonprotein sulfhydryl groups content (NPSH) were determined in lung homogenate.Results. The activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase in group 2 decreased significantly as compared to control group. The decrease of the same enzymes in group 4 was lower and significant as compared to group 2. Changes in the glutathione peroxidase activity showed a similar dynamics. The NPSH groups content decreased in group 2. In group 4 this decrease was relatively lower as compared to group 2.Conclusions. The application of MnTE-2-PyP mitigated the effects of oxidative stress in asthma mice model.

Background: We investigated whether the frequency of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) increased in patients in whom double-J stents were applied. We also evaluated several medical therapy protocols to treat symptoms related with ureteral stents.Materials and Methods: A total of 108 patients, in whom unilateral double-j stent was applied during ureteral stone treatment, were included. Before the double-J stent was applied, all patients completed storage components of the “International Prostate Symptom Score” (IPSSs), quality of life components of the IPSS (IPSS-QOL) and “Overactive Bladder Questionnaire” (OABq) forms and scores were calculated. After the procedure, cases were randomized into 5 groups, an antiinflammatory was given to Group 1, spasmolytic to Group 2, anticholinergic to Group 3 and α-blocker to Group 4. No additional drug was given to Group 5 as this control group. During the fourth week of the procedure, IPSSs, IPSS-QOL and OABq forms were again completed and scores were compared with the previous ones.Results: When all the cases were evaluated, the IPSSs, IPSS-QOLand OABq scores of patients in whom the double-J stent was applied were statistically significantly higher the procedure. Compared to the control group, the cases where the double-J stent was applied showed a higher IPSSs, IPSS-QOL and OABq scores and none of the medical therapies could prevent this increase.Interpretation: The frequency of LUTS increased in cases where the ureteral stent was applied and discomfort continued as long as the stent stayed in the body.
