Urinary incontinence is a problem among both older and young women. The most common symptoms of this condition include urinary incontinence and an unpleasant odour. In order to conceal the ailments related to this problem, women change their lifestyle by limiting the amount of fluid consumed and not moving too far from home or places where toilets are located. The main source of information on this disease in women aged over 45 is books, magazines and websites. Medical personnel are only ranked behind them. In order to make a correct diagnosis of this disease and to start treatment, urodynamic examination, urinalysis, cystoscopy and imaging examinations should be performed. Urodynamic examination can be divided into two groups: invasive and non-invasive. The micturition diary is considered to be the basic urodynamic test. It allows for performing differential diagnosis of functional micturition disorders. It is characterized by high repeatability and correlation with clinical symptoms. Treatment options are dependent on the type of urinary incontinence. They may include conservative treatment, surgery and pharmacotherapy. Combining conservative methods with pharmacological or surgical methods brings the most beneficial results. Invasive methods are the last-line therapy.

Purpose This study was designed to examine the association of dosage and effects of Sound Production Treatment (SPT) for acquired apraxia of speech. Method Treatment logs and probe data from 20 speakers with apraxia of speech and aphasia were submitted to a retrospective analysis. The number of treatment sessions and teaching episodes was examined relative to (a) change in articulation accuracy above baseline performance, (b) mastery of production, and (c) maintenance. The impact of practice schedule (SPT-Blocked vs. SPT-Random) was also examined. Results The average number of treatment sessions conducted prior to change was 5.4 for SPT-Blocked and 3.9 for SPT-Random. The mean number of teaching episodes preceding change was 334 for SPT-Blocked and 179 for SPT-Random. Mastery occurred within an average of 13.7 sessions (1,252 teaching episodes) and 12.4 sessions (1,082 teaching episodes) for SPT-Blocked and SPT-Random, respectively. Comparisons of dosage metric values across practice schedules did not reveal substantial differences. Significant negative correlations were found between follow-up probe performance and the dosage metrics. Conclusions Only a few treatment sessions were needed to achieve initial positive changes in articulation, with mastery occurring within 12–14 sessions for the majority of participants. Earlier occurrence of change or mastery was associated with better follow-up performance. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.12592190
