ISC in women following urogynaecologic surgery.
نویسنده
چکیده
Urinary retention is a common problem for women following surgery, and a significant complication for those who have undergone urogynaecologic surgery, with prevalence estimated between 2.5% and 24% (Dorflinger and Monga, 2001). Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) can lead to bladder distention, causing altered bladder function, urinary tract infections and poor surgical outcomes. Intermittent self-catheterisation (ISC) for women is generally considered preferable to indwelling catheterisation wherever possible. This article explores the role of ISC for women following surgery.

متن کاملIschemia with intermittent reperfusion reduces functional and morphologic damage following renal ischemia in the rat.
Attempts to minimize ischemic injury by interrupting a given ischemic period might be compromised if repeated bouts of reperfusion injury occurred. To determine whether intermittent ischemia improved or worsened functional and morphologic outcome of renal ischemia, halothane-anesthetized rats underwent a right nephrectomy and placement of a snare about the left renal vascular pedicle at 37 degr...
متن کاملDelayed transient ischemic attacks kill some CA1 neurons previously salvaged with postischemic hypothermia: neuroprotection undone.
Delayed hypothermia reduces ischemic hippocampal CA1 injury. However, there are residual structural and functional abnormalities. Therefore, we studied whether these apparently vulnerable rescued neurons are susceptible to secondary insults. All gerbils were subjected to normothermic forebrain ischemia (ISC, 5 min) or SHAM operation. Gerbils were treated with mild hypothermia (HYPO; 33 degrees ...

We examined the effects of ischemia (ISC) alone and with low-intensity exercise (ISC+EX) on growth hormone (GH) and muscle function responses. Nine men (22 +/- 0.7 yr) completed 3 study days: an ISC day (thigh cuff inflated five times, 5 min on, 3 min off), an ISC+EX day [knee extension at 20% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) with ISC], and a control day. MVCs and submaximal contraction task...
