METHODS
A total of 768 women who underwent sacropexy for POP repair performed by one surgeon
In asymptomatic or symptomatic patients with an audible click and late systolic murmur, mitral valve prolapse can be assumed to be present, the pathologic-anatomical substrate of which is characterized by myxomatous changes in the mitral valve leaflets and collagen degeneration of the chordae
OBJECTIVE
Recurrence rates of stress urinary incontinence after surgery are reported to be between 8 to 15%. Both surgical technique and non-surgical risk factors have been shown to affect post-operative outcomes. Tobacco use is a possible risk factor that may increase the surgical failure rate,
Health burden related to osteoporotic fractures in an aging female population far exceeds that imposed by other chronic disorders such as cardiovascular disease and breast cancer. Bone mineral density assessment and clinical risk factors provide independent insights into fracture risk in
This case report describes the diagnosis and therapy of an omphalo-urachitis in a llama cria. Additionally, the cria developed a rectal prolapse, which was successfully treated with a temporary pararectal tobacco pouch suture following umbilical surgery.
The risk factors for aortic and mitral valve diseases that require surgical repair such as congenital bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and mitral valve prolapse include acquired clinical factors and genetic influences. Whether race affects the prevalence of certain valvular diseases has not been
OBJECTIVE
To (1) determine the proportion of hysterectomy cases with documentation of pessary counseling prior to prolapse surgery and (2) identify variables associated with women offered a pessary.

We conducted a nested case-control study among 480 women who underwent POP repair by
OBJECTIVE
Reduction in the collagen content of the pelvic floor tissue of the patients with pelvic organ prolapse and/or stress urinary incontinence has been documented previously. However, this is less clear for nonsupport tissue. We aimed to compare the collagen content of the uterine cervix, a

The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for having to return to the operating room for a second surgery after midurethral sling (MUS).We used a case-control design. Cases return to operating room were a composite of 6 surgical complications OBJECTIVE
Aetiologies of cerebral ischemic events in young adults are various and often contraversial: atherosclerosis plays a role after age 35 years, cardioembolism is often recognized as the major cause, and numerous new predisposing conditions have been described. To evaluate very premature
1. A vagus-sympathetic anastomosis was performed in the cat by connecting end to end the cranial trunk of the vagus to the cranial end of the cervical sympathetic trunk, both severed under the ganglia.2. Forty to sixty days after the anastomosis, the ocular signs of sympathetic paralysis (such as
An ischemic stroke (IS) group including 386 patients under 50 years old is analysed taking into account different etiological subgroups and comparing risk factors against a control group of 100 people. The series points out the presence of 66.1% patients included in the inconclusive-atherothrombosis
