PFD Week 2018-Concurrent Session #9: GI/Pain

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the first video, a study on the association between breastfeeding and pelvic floor disorders showed no significant link between the two. The second video discussed the benefits of electroacupuncture compared to minimal acupuncture for female interstitial cystitis patients, with electroacupuncture showing better pain relief and sustained improvements. The third video explored cystoscopic findings after hydrodistention, finding that asymptomatic women had fewer bladder wall hemorrhages compared to women with clinical interstitial cystitis. <br /><br />In the fourth video, a study compared patients with interstitial cystitis to asymptomatic women and found that patients with IC had a higher presence of glomerulations. Logistic regression analysis suggested that extensive glomerulations were strongly associated with interstitial cystitis.<br /><br />The fifth video focused on the prevalence of postoperative depressive and anxiety symptoms in women undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. Depressive symptoms decreased postoperatively, indicating a positive impact on mood.<br /><br />The sixth video discussed a study on chronic environmental stress and its effects on vaginal pain and contractility in an anxiety-prone rodent model. Rats exposed to chronic stress showed increased vaginal sensitivity to distension and lower vaginal contractility responses.<br /><br />In the seventh video, a study explored the use of multi-electrode basket catheters to measure human bladder electrophysiology. These catheters allowed for better detection of spontaneous bladder activity, showing promise for future studies on overactive bladder.<br /><br />These videos collectively provide insights into various aspects of urogynecology, including breastfeeding and pelvic floor disorders, acupuncture for interstitial cystitis, cystoscopic findings in interstitial cystitis, the psychological impact of pelvic organ prolapse surgery, chronic stress and vaginal pain, and novel techniques for studying bladder function.<br /><br />Credits: <br />- First video: Unknown<br />- Second video: No specific credits mentioned<br />- Third video: No specific credits mentioned<br />- Fourth video: No specific credits mentioned<br />- Fifth video: No specific credits mentioned<br />- Sixth video: No specific credits mentioned<br />- Seventh video: No specific credits mentioned
