Objective: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) remains a great therapeutic challenge with no optimal treatment available. Tissue maintenance and remodeling are performed by fibroblasts, therefore altered cellular functionality may influence tissue quality. In this study, we evaluated functional characteristics of fibroblasts from tissues involved in POP. Study design: To rule out normal ageing tissue d...

AIM Primary aim was to modify Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI) and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ) to assess pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in Arabic Muslim women. Secondary aim was to compare functional and anatomical outcomes of POP repair. METHODS Questionnaire. A characteristic (prayer) was added to PFIQ. Linguistic validation of questionnaires was then done. Twenty cases were...

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and complications of transvaginal minimal mesh repair without using commercially available kits for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Materials and Methods This retrospective cohort study involved 91 women who underwent surgical management of POP with originally designed small mesh between July 2014 and August 2015. This mesh ...

BACKGROUND Food and Drug Administration announcements have highlighted the standard rate of mesh-related complications. We aimed to report the short-term results and complications of tension-free polypropylene mesh (PROSIMA™) surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) using the standard category (C), timing (T), and site (S) classification system. METHODS A prospective cohort study of 48 ...

INTRODUCTION A purpose of the surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is not only the anatomical restoration of the patients but also the improvement of their quality of life (QOL). We have no linguistic validated questionnaire in Japanese to assess it. Therefore we have translated 'prolapse quality of life questionnaire (P-QOL)' into Japanese and present it to the thirty POP patient...

We consider sorting by a queue that can apply permutation from given set over its content. This gives us device \(\mathbb {Q}_{\varSigma }\) corresponding to any shuffling method \(\varSigma \) since every such is associated with of permutations. Two variations these devices are considered - }^{\prime and }^{\text {pop}}\). These require the entire content be unloaded after applied or each pop ...

We aimed to assess the subjective and objective outcomes 1 year after robotic sacrocolpopexy using a type I polypropylene mesh. This was a case series of 64 patients who underwent a robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy using a type I monofilament polypropylene mesh coated with hydrophilic porcine collagen. Objective and subjective outcomes were assessed using the pelvic organ prolapse q...

A woman (22 years) presented with classical bladder exstrophy with stage III cervico-uterine prolapse (POP-Q: Aa1, Ba0, C4, GH4.5, PB2.5, TVL6, Ap-3, Bp-3, and D0) with obstructive nephropathy (serum creatinine 2.5 mg/dl). Bladder-plate excision, ileal conduit urinary diversion, and Prolene mesh sacrocolpopexy were performed. She made uneventful recovery. One year later, she presented with recu...

Java has become the most important language in the Internet area, but its execution performance is severely limited by the true data dependency inherited from the stack architecture defined by the Sun’s Java Virtual Machine (JVM). To enhance the performance of the JVM, a stack operations folding mechanism for the picoJava-II processor was proposed by Sun Microsystems to fold 42.3% stack push/po...
