The aim of this study was to determine whether an association exists between the performance of a sacrocolpopexy for genital prolapse and the bladder function. A case series study was performed that includes all patients who received sacrocolpopexy in a tertiary Spanish hospital. An analysis was performed to study the association of some variables and the occurrence or persistence of urinary incontinence after the surgery. Forty patients with indication of sacrocolpopexy were included. A year after sacrocolpopexy, the outcomes showed 97.3% of prolapse healing. 19.3% complained about de novo stress urinary incontinence, 33.3% recovered from it and another 66.7% remained the same. Only 10.8% asked for an anti-incontinence surgery after the sacrocolpopexy. The urethral hypermobility shows an increased risk of stress urinary incontinence after the sacrocolpopexy. Based on our results, we do not consider it necessary to perform a systematic antiincontinence procedure simultaneously with sacrocolpopexy unless a woman without urethral anti-incontinence surgical background shows a urethral hypermobility.

Abstract Background Prenatal posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a significant complication of pregnancy linked to increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. Although 1 in 5 pregnant trauma-exposed individuals have PTSD, most PTSD treatment trials exclude participants who are pregnant, and none focus on treatment specifically during pregnancy. Moreover, access to mental health treatment is particularly challenging in low-resource settings with high rates of trauma. This study examined implementation of Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), a short-term evidence-based PTSD treatment, in an urban prenatal care setting. Partial telehealth delivery was used to increase accessibility. Study aims were to examine (a) feasibility, (b) acceptability, and (c) case-based treatment outcomes associated with NET participation. Method Eight pregnant participants (median age = 27, median gestational week in pregnancy = 22.5) received up to six sessions of NET with partial telehealth delivery. PTSD and depression symptoms were assessed at pre-treatment intake (T1), at each session (T2), and 1-week post-treatment (T3). A multiple case study approach was used to examine recruitment and engagement, retention, treatment completion, treatment barriers, use of telehealth, participants’ experiences of treatment, and PTSD and depression symptoms. Results Nine of the 16 participants (56%) who were invited to participate engaged in treatment, and one dropped out after the first session. Eight participants completed the minimum “dose” of 4 NET sessions (N = 8/9, 89%). Seven participants gave the highest ratings of treatment acceptability. The most frequently reported barriers to treatment were competing priorities of work and caring for other children. Pre-post treatment symptom measures revealed clinically meaningful change in PTSD severity for nearly all participants (7/8, 88%). Conclusions Results suggest that a brief exposure therapy PTSD treatment can be successfully implemented during pregnancy, suggesting promising results for conducting a larger-scale investigation.

Introduction: Topical corticosteroids (TC) are useful for treatment of various dermatological conditions in all age groups. Due to its cosmetic application TCs misuse is intertwined with fairness creams in our colour conscious society where people are obsessed with fair colour.   Aims and Objectives: To find the clinical presentations of steroid induced rosacea like-dermatitis on the face and to evaluate the purpose behind misusing TCs on the face.   Materials and methods: Descriptive prospective questionnaire-type case series study was approved by Institutional Ethical Committee of BPKIHS which involved 205 patients diagnosed as Steroid Induced Rosacea who consulted Dermatology OPD between March to June 2017.   Results: Among 205 patients enrolled, majority were from second to fourth decade (87.31%) of their life and maximum being females I.e. 91.2%. Around 97% of the study population were unaware of side effects of TCs. Most patients use Mometasone fuorate (58.04%) for melisma (88.29%). Friends acted as source of prescription (29.75%), followed by Pharmacist (24.88%) & Beauty centers (20%). Dermatologists prescribed TCs in only 6.34% cases. Sun exposure was identified as the triggering factor for steroid induced rosacea in 73.17% patients. Cheek was the commonest site involve in 92.19%, followed by forehead (65.36%), perioral area (46.83%), and chin (9.75%). Mixed type of lesions was the commonest lesion found in 52.20% patients, followed by diffuse facial erythema (36.09%), & telangiectasia (33.17%).   Conclusion: TCs misuse in the younger people for the sake of fairer skin with little or no knowledge about the adverse effects of this medication should be stopped.

Synthetic polypropylene materials are increasingly being used in surgery to repair parietal defects in perineal floor curing surgery, in genital prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. The tissue response to contact with these materials varies, and the inflammatory tissue response may be a prognostic marker of success in surgical interventions that involve contact between tissues and polypropylene materials.
