The exact incidence of lower urinary tract dysfunction is not known and its pathogenesis is not completely understood. Advances in urodynamic assessment and widespread availability of a standardized technique have facilitated its exploration prior to and subsequent to the surgical management of patients with gynecologic pelvic cancer. We performed a PubMed and Medline literature search using th...

Material and methods Sagittal parameters of the spine and pelvis were analysed in lateral standing radiographs of 256 adolescents (13.7±5 years, curve range 4-57) and compared with statistically normal values (NV) in adolescents found in the literature: thoracic kyphosis TK (NV 22–66), lumbar lordosis LL (NV 24-72), pelvic incidence PI (NV 27-71), sacral slope SS (NV 25-57) and pelvic tilt PT (...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the cumulative incidence of severe complications associated with genital chlamydia infection in the general female population. METHODS The Uppsala Women's Cohort Study was a retrospective population based cohort study in Sweden, linking laboratory, hospital, and population registers. We estimated the cumulative incidence of hospital diagnosed pelvic inflammatory disease,...

INTRODUCTION Worldwide, bacterial resistance to antibiotic therapy is a major concern for the medical community. Antibiotic resistance mainly affects Gram-negative bacteria that are an important cause of lower urinary tract infections (LUTIs). Pelvic irradiation for prostate cancer is a risk factor for LUTIs. Cranberry extract is reported to reduce the incidence of LUTIs. The prophylactic role ...

Spontaneous otorrhagia following laparoscopic pelvic surgery is a complication that is rarely reported and incompletely understood. Few case reports have described this phenomenon, though its true incidence is unknown. It has been hypothesized that a combination of extreme patient positioning and abdominal insufflation is the contributing factor. There does not appear to be any untoward consequ...

Pelvic inflammatory disease is infectious in etiology and is closely linked to sexually transmitted disease. Pelvic inflammatory disease is common in the United States with an estimated incidence of 2.5 million. The condition can be diagnosed clinically, with lower abdominal pain, cervical motion tenderness, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and fever. Once diagnosed, the patient shoul...
