Article Abstract

Objective: to assess the effectiveness of post-partum interventions to prevent urinary incontinence: a systematic review.

Method: systematic review of randomized controlled studies conducted in the MEDLINE, Cochrane, Scopus and the Virtual Library on Health (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, BVS) databases.

Results: six articles were included in this review. All studies used the Pelvic Floor Muscle Training as the main procedure to prevent urinary incontinence. The results pointed to a positive and effective intervention in the post-partum period.

Conclusion: there is evidence that programs of exercise of the pelvic floor musculature performed both in the immediate and late post-partum result in a significant increase in muscle strength and contribute to prevent urinary incontinence.

Catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most frequent healthcare associated infection, arising from microbial adhesion to catheter surfaces, biofilm development, and the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance. Many publications have addressed CAUTI epidemiology, biofilm biology, or biomaterials for catheters in isolation, yet there is little literature that connects these areas into a coherent translational perspective. This review seeks to fill that gap by combining an overview of biofilm pathophysiology with recent advances in material based innovations for catheter design, including nanostructured and responsive coatings, sensor enabled systems, additive manufacturing, and three dimensional printing.

Objectives: Kidney transplant is a life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage renal disease. Success of kidney transplant is highly dependent on maintaining the integrity of the endothelium and its protective layer, the endothelial glycocalyx. Ischemia-reperfusion injury, a common challenge in kidney transplant, can disrupt the endothelial glycocalyx, leading to various post-transplant complications.

Background: Escherichia coli ST131 and clade H30Rx are the most prevalent extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing E. coli (ESBL-EC) causing bacteremia and urinary tract infections globally and in Sweden. Previous studies have linked ST131-H30Rx with septic shock and mortality, as well as prolonged carriage.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a life-threatening obstetric complication. We aimed to identify the drugs that associated with PPH based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) data, providing scientific evidence for targeted prevention of drug-related PPH risk factors. Data from 2004Q1 to 2025Q1 were extracted from FAERS, and disproportionality analysis was performed to identify potential drug signals.
