Objective: This study aimed to compare the consistency between smart pelvic floor ultrasound and biplanar transrectal ultrasound in detecting early stress urinary incontinence (SUI) by assessing urethral dilation and bladder structure.
Methods: We selected 40 multiparas who went through prenatal assessment after delivery and had standard pelvic floor ultrasounds at 6 weeks after childbirth, spanning from June 2022 to September 2022. The Bland-Altman method was employed to evaluate the consistency between biplanar transrectal ultrasound and transperineal pelvic floor ultrasound in assessing the mobility of the bladder neck and the posterior bladder wall in women.
Results: Biplanar transrectal ultrasound and transperineal pelvic floor ultrasound demonstrated strong consistency in evaluating bladder neck and posterior bladder wall mobility in women (P>0.05). The analysis of each pelvic floor observation index using Bland-Altman plots indicated that approximately 97.5% of data points fell within the 95% consistency limit.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that biplanar transrectal ultrasound is a reliable supplementary method to transperineal pelvic floor ultrasound for diagnosing SUI.

Pelvic floor disorders are a wide-ranging group of conditions arising due to abnormalities of the musculature of the pelvic floor. These conditions can include constipation, pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, and dyspareunia. This article first provides an overview of key anatomy of the pelvic floor muscles before discussing pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT), highlighting the goals of treatment and tactics used by physical therapists to achieve these goals.

Introduction And Hypothesis: To translate and perform cultural adaptation of the Pelvic Floor Dysfunction-SENTINEL (PFD-SENTINEL) screening tool into Turkish and to establish its reliability and validity for female athletes.
Methods: The study included 200 female athletes (mean age 22 ± 4 years). The translation of the PFD-SENTINEL, which comprised the symptoms related to PFD and item sections related to general risk factors and sports-related risk factors, was performed in accordance with international recommendations.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can re-active the immune response and induce a complete response in mismatch repair-deficient and microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) colorectal cancer (CRC). However, most CRCs exhibit proficient mismatch repair and microsatellite stable (pMMR/MSS) phenotypes with limited immunotherapy response because of sparse intratumoral CD8 T-lymphocyte infiltration. Cellular senescence has been reported to involve immune cell infiltration through a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) among Brazilian female triathletes and to identify associated factors, focusing on demographic, obstetric, and sports-related variables.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 90 female triathletes. Data on age, body mass index (BMI), pregnancy history, parity, delivery type, training frequency, and weekly training volume were collected through in-person interviews and an online questionnaire.
