The aim of the present study was to investigate the ultrastructure and content of collagen in uterosacral ligaments and paraurethral tissues in patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI), analyzing the association between POP and collagen dysfunction. The study comprised three groups: Control, POP and POP with SUI (n=30 per group). Histological characteristi...

Objective. To investigate the contribution of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) to micturition and defecation symptoms. Method. Cross-sectional study including 64 women presenting with POP symptoms and 50 controls without POP complaints. Subjects were evaluated using POP-Quantification system, Urinary Distress Inventory, and Defecation Distress Inventory. The MOS SF-36 health survey and the Center fo...

Prior research indicated that information processing is influenced by the proximity of the hands to information: visuospatial processing is fostered near the hands, whereas textual processing might not be affected or even inhibited near the hands. This study investigated how the proximity of the hands to digital information in pop-ups influences learning outcomes on multi-touch devices. Dependi...

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a disabling disorder in women characterized by a loss of pelvic floor support, leading to the herniation of the uterus into or through the vagina. POP is a complex problem that likely involves multiple mechanisms with limited therapies available, and is associated with defects in connective tissue including elastic fibers. This study was designed to investigate th...

Paper pop-ups are interesting three-dimensional books that fascinate people of all ages. The design and construction of these pop-up books however are done manually and require a lot of time and effort. This has led to computer-assisted or automated tools for designing paper pop-ups. This paper proposes an approach for automatically converting a 3D model into a multi-style paper pop-up. Previou...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair on overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms in women with POP and the effect of baseline POP severity on improvement in OAB after surgical repair of POP. And we also tried to identify any preoperative factors for persistent postoperative OAB symptoms. METHODS A total of 87 patients with coexisting PO...

background: pelvic organ prolapse is a common gynecologic condition in women that rarely occur in pregnancy and can complicate the pregnancy. a woman with prolapsed uterus in second trimester of pregnancy and her follow up are presented here. case report: a 35-years old g2p1 woman with history of last normal pregnancy and successful vaginal delivery attended to emergency ward of hospital. she w...

The first examples of [Cu(N^N)(POP)](+) complexes (POP = bis(2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl)ether) in which the N^N domain is a 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (tpy) ligand have been prepared and characterized; N^N = tpy, 5,5''-dimethyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (1), 4′-(4-tolyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (2), 4′-(4-npropoxyphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (3) and 4′-(4-nbutoxyphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (...

1To evaluate the content of phytosterol oxidation products (POP) of foods with added phytosterols, in total 14 studies measuring POP contents of foods with added phytosterols were systematically reviewed. In non-heated or stored foods, POP contents were low, ranging from (medians) 0.03-3.6 mg/100 g with corresponding oxidation rates of phytosterols (ORP) of 0.03-0.06%. In fat-based foods with 8...
