Next to existing terminology of the lower urinary tract, due to its increasing complexity, the terminology for pelvic floor dysfunction in women may be better updated by a female‐specific approach and clinically based consensus report.Abstract:
Introduction and hypothesis Next to existing terminology of the lower urinary tract, due to its increasing complexity, the terminology for pelvic floor dysfunction in women may be better updated by a female-specific approach and clinically based consensus report.

Does Increasing or Decreasing the Daily Intake of Water/Fluid by Adults Affect Overactive Bladder Symptoms?
TL;DR: Results of studies measuring the effect of fluid intake on the severity of OAB symptoms support that reducing fluid intake is beneficial in reducing overactive bladder symptoms of urge UI, urgency, and frequency.

A pilot study on Trichomonas vaginalis in women with recurrent urinary tract infections.
TL;DR: It is suggested that testing for Trichomonas vaginalis should be considered in women with recurrent UTIs, in order to inform screening and treatment policies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges of Very Long-term Reporting in Stress Urinary Incontinence Surgeries in Women.
TL;DR: All very long-term data for SUI surgeries share considerable LTF, infrequent examination data, mostly questionnaire-based information, and variable success rates from varying success definitions, and standardization of all these key outcome measures is urgently needed.

Pelvic floor ultrasound: when, why, and how?
Simin Bahrami,Gaurav Khatri,Alison D. Sheridan,Suzanne L. Palmer,Mark E. Lockhart,Hina Arif-Tiwari,Phyllis Glanc,Phyllis Glanc +7 more
TL;DR: Pelvic floor ultrasound is a rapidly emerging technique which takes advantage of the widespread availability of ultrasound, the non-invasive and relatively inexpensive approach and the incorporation of real-time imaging and software advances which permit 3-D volume imaging.

Coital Urinary Incontinence Induced by Impairment of the Dorsal Nerve of the Clitoris in Rats
Yolanda Cruz,Raúl Juárez,Alfonso Medel,Dora Luz Corona-Quintanilla,Pablo Pacheco,Margarita Juárez +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the pudendal nerve is an important neural pathway in the convergence and crosstalk of female urogenital neural circuits, and genital deafferentation may be a causal factor of coital urinary incontinence.

The functional gastrointestinal disorders and the Rome III process.
TL;DR: Two important processes have occurred to legitimize these conditions, and to increase attention toward the research and clinical care of patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID), a shift in conceptualizing these disorders from a disease-based, reductionistic model, to a more integrated, biopsychosocial model of illness.
