基于移动医疗的妊娠期盆底肌训练对产后尿失禁发生的影响：一项基于随机对照试验设计的探索性研究

背景 孕产妇尿失禁（UI）发病率高，严重影响了女性生活质量。研究表明，盆底肌训练是UI有效的防治手段，本研究前期进行了一项随机对照试验（RCT），结果发现相比于常规宣教，基于移动医疗APP的盆底肌训练并未显现出预防优势，其原因需要进一步深入探讨。 目的 本研究拟对一项基于APP的妊娠期盆底肌训练的干预研究的阴性结果进行探索性分析，旨在探讨产后UI预防效果的影响因素以及获益的亚组人群。 方法 本研究数据来源于前期开展的一项RCT，采用方便抽样法，于2020年6—10月在南方医科大学深圳医院产科门诊招募了126例研究对象，采用随机数字表法分为干预组与对照组，每组各63例。对照组采用常规护理，干预组在此基础上使用"有爱屋"APP进行尿失禁自我管理，干预周期为2个月。产后42 d随访时收集两组产后相关资料，包括产后42 d UI发生情况。以产后是否发生UI为结局指标，将研究对象分为病例组和对照组，采用Logistic回归分析探讨混杂因素及其与干预方式之间的交互作用对产后UI发生的影响。针对Logistic回归分析的结果进行分层分析，探讨是否存在能从APP干预中获益的亚组人群。 结果 病例组和对照组阴道分娩史、入组时存在UI、Broome盆底肌自我效能量表（BPMSES）得分比较，差异均有统计学意义（P<0.05）。Logistic回归分析结果显示，入组时存在UI是产后发生UI的危险因素〔OR=15.897，95%CI（4.724，53.495），P<0.001〕；BPMSES得分与干预方式的交互作用可影响产后UI的发生〔OR=1.034，95%CI（1.017，1.051），P<0.001〕。分层分析结果显示，入组时存在UI症状的孕妇，干预组产后UI发生率低于对照组（χ2=4.18，P=0.041）；入组时不存在UI症状的孕妇，两组产后UI发生率比较，差异无统计学意义（χ2=1.89，P=0.284）。 结论 推荐有UI症状的孕妇使用"有爱屋"APP或许可预防产后UI的发生。而对于妊娠期没有UI症状的人群使用"有爱屋"APP预防产后UI发生的证据尚不充分。另外，不管有无UI症状，盆底肌训练自我效能高的孕妇有望从APP干预中获益。     

Sharma's parachute sign a new laparoscopic sign in abdomino pelvic tuberculosis

AimsTo demonstrate a new laparoscopic sign “Sharma's Parachute sign” in abdominopelvic tuberculosis in women with infertility.MethodsA total of 104 women who were diagnosed to have abdominopelvic tuberculosis, on endometrial sampling or on laparoscopy were enrolled in this ongoing study on tuberculosis in infertility. A new laparoscopic “Sharma's parachute sign” was looked for in these cases on laparoscopy.ResultsThe mean age, pairty and duration of infertility was 27.6 years, 0.58 and 4.1 years respectively. Menstrual dysfuction were common especially hypomenorrhoea (34.61%), oligomenorrhoea (36.53%) along with constitutional symptoms and abdomino pelvic pain or lump. Diagnosis of abdominopelvic tuberculosis was made by identification of acid fast bacilli (AFB) on microscopy or culture of endometrial aspirate or peritoneal biopsy or positive gene Xpert or positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or histopathological demonstration of epithelioid granuloma on endometrial or peritoneal biopsy, various laparoscopic findings on pelvic and abdominal organs were tubercles and shaggy areas (white deposits, caseous nodules encysted ascites, abdominal and pelvic adhesions, tubal findings (hydrosalpinx, pyosalpinx, beaded or calcified tubes). A new “Sharma's parachute sign”in which ascending colon was totally adherent to anterior abdominal wall with its mesocolon looking like an open parachute with small caseous nodule was seen in 11 (10.5%) cases.ConclusionDiagnostic laparoscopy is an important investigation for abdominopelvic tuberculosis showing various adhesions including new parachute sign.     

Multi-segment spine kinematics: Relationship with dance training and low back pain

BackgroundSpine posture, range of motion (ROM) and movement asymmetry can contribute to low back pain (LBP). These variables may have greater impact in populations required to perform repetitive spine movements, such as dancers; however, there is limited evidence to support this.Research questionWhat is the influence of dance and LBP on spinal kinematics?MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, multi-segment spinal kinematics were examined in 60 female participants, including dancers (n = 21) and non-dancers (n = 39) with LBP (n = 33) and without LBP (n = 27). A nine-camera motion analysis system sampling at 100 Hz was used to assess standing posture, as well as ROM and movement asymmetry for side bend and trunk rotation tasks. A two-way ANOVA was performed for each of the outcome variables to detect any differences between dancers and non-dancers, or individuals with and without LBP.ResultsCompared to non-dancers, dancers displayed a flatter upper lumbar angle when standing (p < 0.01, ηp² = 0.15), and achieved greater frontal plane ROM for the upper lumbar (p = 0.04, ηp² = 0.08) and lower thoracic (p = 0.02, ηp² = 0.09) segments. There were no differences between dancers and non-dancers for transverse plane ROM (p > 0.05) or movement asymmetry (p > 0.05). There was no main effect for LBP symptoms on any kinematic measures, and no interaction effect for dance group and LBP on spinal kinematics (p > 0.05).SignificanceFemale dancers displayed a flatter spine posture and increased spine ROM compared to non-dancers for a select number of spine segments and movement tasks. However, the overall number of differences was small, and no relationship was observed between LBP and spinal kinematics. This suggests that these simple, static posture, ROM, and asymmetry measures often used in clinical practice can provide only limited generalisable information about the impact of dance or LBP on spinal kinematics.     

Referral patterns and outcomes of a highly specialised pelvic exenteration multidisciplinary team meeting: A retrospective cohort study

IntroductionThe purpose of this study was to review recommendations made from a specialist pelvic exenteration (PE) multidisciplinary team (MDT) and to provide insights as to the impact of the MDT on patient selection and clinical decision making.Materials & methodsA retrospective review was conducted at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital's PE MDT between June 2014 and December 2015. Data was collected from the recorded minutes of MDT meetings. Referral information and clinical data was extracted from individual patient files. Additional data including operative dates and surgical resection margins were collected from electronic medical records.ResultsOf the 183 patients considered for PE during the MDT meeting, 104 (57%) were recommended for surgery. Factors that influenced the recommendation in favour of surgery were referral by a surgeon (P = 0.004), referral from a rural location (P = 0.05) and having locally advanced primary cancer (P < 0.001). Patients who were seen by the unit's surgeon prior to the MDT did not impact on the MDT recommendation nor the decision for or against surgery (P = 0.771). The most common reason for recommendation against PE was unresectable distant metastatic disease (43%).ConclusionsThe PE MDT meeting is a critical step in the patient care pathway and facilitates critical decision making. Anatomically-based contraindications to surgery (i.e. involvement of adjacent organs, bone and neurovascular structures) do not appear to influence MDT decision making regarding resectability.     

A Novel Nomogram to Identify Candidates for Extended Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection Among Patients with Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer Diagnosed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging-targeted and Systematic Biopsies

Background

Available models for predicting lymph node invasion (LNI) in prostate cancer (PCa) patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) might not be applicable to men diagnosed via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted biopsies.

A systematic review of combined pelvic and acetabular injuries

PurposeInjuries of both pelvic ring and acetabulum as rare very few articles are available in literature. There are no set protocols in defining the injury let alone defining early and definitive management strategies. This article is an attempt to encompass all available data to give us guidelines in managing these injuries.MethodsAn extensive literature review was carried out on PubMed/Medline, google scholar and Embase databases was done with the eligibility criteria of 1) Case series with a minimum of 20 cases. 2) The patient’s outcome reported. 3) Full article available. 4) Article in English. 5) Minimum Jadad score of 3. As per PRISMA guidelines the search was done and gradually filtered down to relevant articles which were 8 in number.ResultsThe incidence of these injuries range from 5 to 16%. The transverse acetabular fracture pattern is the commonest followed by associated both column fractures. There is equal propensity of Anteroposterior compression and lateral compression injuries. The injury mechanism appears to transmitted lateral force from the greater trochanter inwards with an implosion injury causing acetabular and pelvic injury as a continuum. The initial management is similar to managing pelvic ring injuries with focus on patient resuscitation, hemodynamic stabilization and temporary stabilization. The injury severity score and the mortality rates are comparable to isolated unstable pelvic ring injuries. Definitive management focuses on fixing the posterior pelvic ring first followed by the acetabular fracture and then the anterior pelvic ring. The displacement rates and outcome is worse than isolated acetabular injuries or pelvic injuries.ConclusionCombined Pelvic and acetabular injuries are complex injuries which need to be managed initially as we manage pelvic injury and later as we fix as an acetabular fracture meticulously.     

孕妇产后器官脱垂相关影响因素的三维超声研究

目的 应用三维超声探讨影响产后盆底结构变化的相关因素，为产后盆底器官脱垂（POP）的预防提供依据。方法 连续选取在2016年1月～2017年10月我院分娩女性138例为研究对象，对受试对象行三维盆底超声检查，连续观察并记录静息尿道倾斜角、Valsalva膀胱颈位置、Valsalva子宫颈到参考线距离、Valsalva直肠壶腹部到参考线距离、膀胱尿道后角度、尿道倾斜角度、膀胱尿道后角度等指标，分析不同POP超声参数与临床指标的相关性，并探讨相关的影响因素。结果 产妇的孕次、年龄和婴儿体重对POP的影响不大（P ＞0.05）；不同产次的产妇Valsalva子宫颈到参考线距离及膀胱尿道后角度具有统计学意义（P ＜0.05），产次越多，患者Valsalva子宫颈到参考线距离＞15mm发生率升高，膀胱尿道后角（度）也升高；不同体质量指数（BMI）孕妇的静息尿道倾斜角、Valsalva膀胱颈位置、Valsalva子宫颈到参考线距离、Valsalva直肠壶腹部到参考线距离差异均有统计学意义（P＜0.05）；BMI≥25 kg/m2组孕妇的尿道倾斜角度、膀胱尿道后角度等指标的异常率也明显高于BMI＜25 kg/m2组孕妇（P＜0.05）。结论 多产次、高BMI产妇是影响盆底器官脱垂的相关因素，应用盆底超声可动态监测并干预上述患者盆底器官脱垂的发生。
