Transient urinary retention occurs frequently after pelvic organ prolapse surgery. While the prevalence of postoperative urinary retention has been reported for reconstructive procedures, a paucity of data exists for colpocleisis. TR-107 clinical trial The objectives of this retrospective cohort study were to identify risk factors for transient urinary retention after colpocleisis and to determine the rate of its occurrence.

A retrospective chart review was performed for patients undergoing colpocleisis from January 2015 to December 2019 in a high-volume urogynecology practice. Patients were excluded if they required prolonged catheterization postoperatively because of a surgical complication or used a catheter before surgery, or if a suprapubic catheter was placed during surgery. Potential patient and procedural risk factors were analyzed. Transient urinary retention was diagnosed if patients failed their postoperative voiding trial and went home with a catheter.

A total of 172 patients met the inclusion criteria. The incidhighest risk of postoperative urinary retention. Surgeons can use this information both for counseling and management decisions for individual patients.
Website metrics were extracted from Google Analytics during 2013-2019 for VoicesForPFD.org. Data included number and geography of users, source of user arrival (for example search engine, social media, advertisement), and web pages viewed. Utilization was calculated by dividing the number of website users by the estimated number of women with symptomatic PFDs in the same year from previously published prevalence estimates and U.S. Census population data. The number of page views were extracted for each web page from 2017 to 2019 to describe content use. Descriptive analyses are presented.

VoicesForPFD.org had 1,382,287 users during 2013-2019, predominantly in the United States. Nationally, there were 5.3 VoicesForPFD.org users for every 1,000 women with symptomatic PFDs in 2018. Users arrived primarily through organic search and advertisements; less than 1% of users arrived via social media. The pelvic organ prolapse section of VoicesForPFD.org was the most highly viewed content with 670,550 page views in 2017-2019. In the same years, the site's pages on pelvic mesh had only 21,249 page views despite high media visibility on the subject.

Utilization of VoicesForPFD.org by U.S. women with symptomatic PFDs is very low. More research is needed on methods to engage women online and through social media to provide them with high-quality PFD treatment information.

The objective of this study was to evaluate whether an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol was associated with a higher rate of same-day discharge after robot-assisted or laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy and to describe the safety and feasibility of same-day discharge after these procedures.

A historical control, retrospective cohort study of women undergoing minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy comparing rates of same-day discharge before and after implementation of an ERAS protocol was conducted. Secondary outcomes were obtained by comparing women discharged the same day with those discharged postoperative day ≥1, including postoperative complications and unplanned postoperative patient encounters within 30 days of surgery. Logistic regression was performed to control for potential confounders.

Of the 166 women identified (83 before ERAS implementation; 83 after ERAS implementation), 43 underwent same-day discharge versus 123 admitted overnight. The rate of same-day discharge increased 28 percentage points after ERAS implementation (12% vs 40%, P < 0.01). Compared with women admitted overnight, same-day discharge women had shorter procedures (154 vs 173 minutes, P = 0.01), spent longer time in the postanesthesia care unit (130 vs 106 minutes, P = 0.01), and were more likely to be discharged with a Foley catheter (58% vs 28%, P < 0.01). After multivariable logistic regression analysis, ERAS was associated with increased odds of same-day discharge (odds ratio, 4.91; 95% confidence interval, 2.17-11.09). There were no differences in unplanned postoperative patient contacts or postoperative complications within 30 days between same-day discharge and overnight admission groups.

Implementation of an ERAS protocol for minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy was associated with a 3-fold increase in same-day discharge.

The aims of this study were to evaluate the biomolecular properties of vaginal and perineal granulation tissue in postpartum women and assess the potential impact of vaginal estrogen application.

We prospectively identified women referred to a subspecialty peripartum clinic between September 2016 and April 2018 who developed symptomatic perineal or vaginal granulation tissue. As part of routine clinical care, granulation tissue was excised from each participant by a urogynecologist and subjected to RNA extraction, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, histologic evaluation, and immunohistochemistry. Serum steroid hormone levels were measured. Comparisons were made between participants who used topical vaginal estradiol (E2) and those who did not (non-E2 controls).

Sixteen postpartum women were recruited for this pilot study. More than 30% of patients (n = 5, 31%) had used topical vaginal estradiol (E2) during their postpartum recovery. Histological appearance of granulation tissue evaluated ne, E2, dehydroepiandrosterone, progesterone, and testosterone in postpartum women.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to cause significant medical quality enhancements and cost-saving improvements in ophthalmology. Although there has been a rapid growth of studies on AI in the recent years, real-world adoption of AI is still rare. One reason may be because the data derived from economic evaluations of AI in health care, which policy makers used for adopting new technology, have been fragmented and scarce. Most data on economics of AI in ophthalmology are from diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening. Few studies classified costs of AI software, which has been considered as a medical device, into direct medical costs. These costs of AI are composed of initial and maintenance costs. The initial costs may include investment in research and development, and costs for validation of different datasets. Meanwhile, the maintenance costs include costs for algorithms upgrade and hardware maintenance in the long run. The cost of AI should be balanced between manufacturing price and reimbursements sance costs. The initial costs may include investment in research and development, and costs for validation of different datasets. Meanwhile, the maintenance costs include costs for algorithms upgrade and hardware maintenance in the long run. The cost of AI should be balanced between manufacturing price and reimbursements since it may pose significant challenges and barriers to providers. Evidence from cost-effectiveness analyses showed that AI, either standalone or used with humans, was more cost-effective than manual DR screening. Notably, economic evaluation of AI for DR screening can be used as a model for AI to other ophthalmic diseases.
Integrase inhibitors, including dolutegravir (DTG), are associated with weight gain and obesity, especially when combined with tenofovir alafenamide (TAF). Obesity increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs). This study aimed to predict the risk of APOs caused by treatment-associated obesity, using a hypothetical sample based on the ADVANCE trial.

Risk prediction.

Firstly, a meta-analysis was performed to determine the relative risk (RR) for APOs in women with obese (≥30) versus normal prepregnancy BMIs (18.5-24.9). For the hypothetical sample, 3000 nonpregnant women with normal BMIs at Week 0 of treatment were evenly allocated across the following treatment arms TAF/FTC+DTG, TDF/FTC+DTG, TDF/FTC/EFV. The treatment-associated obesity rates from ADVANCE were used to calculate the number of women with obese and normal BMIs expected at Week 96 in our sample. This was combined with the APO RRs to predict the number of women at risk of APOs, in each treatment arm, assuming they conceived at Week 96.

At Week 96, the percentage of women predicted to be obese was 14.1% with TAF/FTC+DTG, 7.9% with TDF/FTC+DTG and 1.5% with TDF/FTC/EFV. The RR in women with obese versus normal BMIs was significantly higher for most APOs. Therefore, the number of women at risk of APOs was higher with TAF/FTC+DTG than TDF/FTC+DTG and TDF/FTC/EFV. For example, 11/1000 additional gestational hypertension cases were predicted with TAF/FTC+DTG, 6/1000 with TDF/FTC+DTG and 1/1000 with TDF/FTC/EFV.

Treatment-associated obesity increased the APO risk in women. This risk is likely to increase, as preliminary data from ADVANCE demonstrates ongoing weight gain beyond Week 96.

Measuring recent HIV infections from routine surveillance systems could allow timely and granular monitoring of HIV incidence patterns. We evaluated the relationship of two recent infection indicators with alternative denominators to true incidence patterns.

We used a mathematical model of HIV testing behaviors, calibrated to population-based surveys and HIV testing services program data, to estimate the number of recent infections diagnosed annually from 2010 to 2019 in Côte d'Ivoire, Malawi, and Mozambique. We compared two different denominators to interpret recency data i) those at risk of HIV acquisition (HIV-negative tests plus recent infections) and ii) all people testing HIV positive. Sex- and age-specific longitudinal trends in both interpretations were then compared to modeled trends in HIV incidence, testing efforts, and HIV positivity among HIV testing services clients.

Over 2010-2019, the annual proportion of the eligible population tested increased in all countries, while positivity decreaspulation groups or over time.This study of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination in 14 persons with HIV demonstrated uniformly high anti-SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain antibody titers after two doses, despite varied titers after a single dose. The majority of vaccine reactions were mild and no adverse events occurred.
There are limited studies on the association of HIV infection with systemic inflammation during pregnancy.

A cohort study (N = 220) of pregnant women with HIV (N = 70) (all on antiretroviral therapy) and without HIV (N = 150) were enrolled from an antenatal clinic in Pune, India.

The following systemic inflammatory markers were measured in plasma samples using immunoassays soluble CD163 (sCD163), soluble CD14 (sCD14), intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP), C-reactive protein (CRP), alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), interferon-β (IFNβ), interferon-γ (IFNγ), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-13, IL-17A and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). Generalized estimating equation (GEE) and linear regression models were used to assess the association of HIV status with each inflammatory marker during pregnancy and by trimester, respectively.

Pregnant women with HIV had higher levels of markers for gut barrier dysfunction (I-FABP), monocyte activation (sCD14) and markers of systemic inflammation (IL-6 and TNFα), but surprisingly lower levels of AGP, an acute phase protein, compared to pregnant women without HIV, with some trimester-specific differences.
