1. 16. Evaluation and treatment of pelvic organ prolapse : clinical, radiological and histopathological aspects

   Författare :Daniel Altman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Bowel function; Cystodefecoperitoneography; Histology; Pelvic organ prolapse. Rectal prolapse; Rectocele; Safety; Xenograft;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: To assess the use of cystodefecoperitoneography (CDP) in clinical and radiological diagnosis of cystocele; to study the correlation between clinical and radiological findings at CDP and to evaluate if anatomical topography and structural abnormality corresponds to symptomatic presentation when assessing posterior vaginal wall prolapse; to evaluate if xenograft used at rectocele repair was associated with adverse clinical and histological inflammatory reactions; to prospectively examine if rectocele repair using xenograft is a safe method providing satisfactory clinical and symptomatical outcome; and to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of genital prolapse and urinary incontinence in female patients operated for rectal prolapse. Methods: The following methods were used: The Pelvic organ prolapse quantification system (POPQ), CDP, bowel function questionnaires, pelvic floor surveys, histological, histopathological and clinical inflammatory quantification.

3. 17. Urinary leakage and physical activity in young women

   Författare :Kerstin Eliasson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Female urinary incontinence; low back pain; pelvic floor muscles; physical activity; risk factors; stop test.;

   Sammanfattning : The effect of recreational physical activity on urinary leakage/ incontinence (UL/UI) with regard to load on the pelvic floor (PF) in young women has not been studied specifically. The aim of the present work was, to survey the prevalence of UL and UI in young and mostly nulliparous women giving special attention to previous and current physical activity and micturition habits and to study the prevalence of UL and UI in women with low back pain (LBP) within the same age-span.

4. 18. Constipation : symptoms and findings in relation to structural and functional abnormalities

   Författare :Abdulhakim Glia; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :constipation; defecation; electromyography; gastrointestinal motility; immunchistochernistry; intestinal pseudo-obstruction; physiopathology; quality of life; transit time;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this study was to increase the knowledge about functional constipation with special reference to symptoms analysis, laboratory investigations and histopathology findings. 155 consecutive patients with intractable constipation underwent anorectal manometry, electromyography (EMG), balloon expulsion test, colonic transit time, and defecography.

5. 19. Bladder function in infants. A urodynamic and radiologic study

   Författare :Marc Bachelard; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Infants; bladder function; urodynamics; urinary tract infection; dilating reflux; videocystometry.;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: The aims of the present study were to establish a reference for urodynamics in infancy, to study the urodynamic pattern of infants with urinary tract infection (UTI) and of infants with dilating vesicoureteral reflux (reflux), and to evaluate if bladder dysfunction was occurring in these conditions. In addition, the possibilities to identify bladder instability in infants at voiding cystourethrography (VCU) were evaluated. LÄS MER

7. 20. Faecal incontinence : Aspects of diagnosis and treatment

   Författare :Asbjörn Österberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Faecal incontinence; anorectal manovolumetry; high pressure zone profile; pudendal nerve terminal motor latency; fibre density; questionnaire; electrostimulation; levatorplasty; sphincteroplasty; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : Rectal reservoir function and anal pressures were investigated using anorectal manovolumetry in 48 patients with faecal incontinence and in 25 control subjects. Resting and squeeze pressures were lower in patients (p... LÄS MER
