Uterus sparing surgery is a safe and effective treatment for pelvic organ prolapse
Researchers presented data at the 104th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA) showing that uterus sparing surgery is an effective and safe treatment for women who want to preserve the integrity of vaginal function after pelvic organ prolapse. view more (2009-04-27)
Link found between muscle damage during childbirth, condition causing fallen bladder, uterus
An increase among women electing to have caesarean sections in recent years has been due in large part to a concern that giving birth vaginally will lead to a fallen bladder and uterus in later life, and the issue has been hotly debated in the medical community. view more (2007-01-31)
Mayo researchers find robotic repair for vaginal prolapse has significant benefits
New Mayo Clinic research has found that robotic surgery for vaginal prolapse dramatically reduces patient hospital stay and recovery time. view more (2009-11-10)
Robot-assisted, laparoscopic surgery for vaginal vault prolapse found to be effective
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that laparoscopic surgery assisted by a surgical robot to fix vaginal vault prolapse, a collapse of the vagina that can occur after a hysterectomy, is an effective option to the traditional, open surgical repair when measured at least a year after the surgery. view more (2006-07-24)
Women with Mitral Valve Prolapse are Treated Less Aggressively Than Men and May be at High Risk
Disturbing evidence of higher mortality and lower surgery rates in women versus men with mitral valve prolapse and severe leakage may be related to the complexity of evaluating the condition's severity in women, according to findings of a Mayo Clinic study published this month in the Annals of Internal Medicine. view more (2008-12-02)
Pelvic disorders affect large number of women, UT Southwestern researchers find
Nearly one-quarter of all women suffer from pelvic-floor disorders, such as incontinence, at some point in their lives, a national study, including researchers from UT Southwestern Medical Center, has found. view more (2008-09-18)
Emotions count in organ donation
Feelings are more important than thoughts in predicting registration as an organ donor. This is the key finding of a study described today, Wednesday 18 July, at The British Psychological Society Social Section Annual Conference, held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, by Dr Tom Farsides, of the Social Psychology Group, School of Social... view more...

Organ donation after cardiac death
The babies were dying - without life support, they might live just another few minutes. Their families had said goodbye, and wanted their newborns to become organ donors, in hopes of saving another tiny life. But the babies' conditions couldn't meet the normal standards for organ donor eligibility. What to do? view more (2008-08-15)
Men with bladder exstrophy report robust sex lives, but women fare worse, Hopkins study shows
Adult men born with a severe urological anomaly in which the bladder forms outside of the abdomen report much more robust sexual lives than women born with the same condition, according to a small study led by urologists at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center. view more (2007-10-29)
Hemorrhoid stapling has more long-term risks than surgical removal
Stapling of hemorrhoids - a relatively new and increasingly popular procedure - is associated with a higher risk of recurrence and prolapse than conventional hemorrhoid removal surgery, investigators report in a comprehensive review of clinical studies. view more (2006-10-18)
Diabetes, not obesity, increases risk of developing critical illness and early death
Diabetes puts people at risk of developing critical illness and dying early, but obesity without diabetes does not. A study published today in the open access journal Critical Care reveals that individuals suffering from diabetes are three times more at risk of developing critical illness and dying young than individuals who do not have diabetes. view more (2006-09-25)
Prompt diagnosis of ear infections can improve outcome for organ transplant recipients

Multiple organ failure and malignant tumors main causes of death in ICU and hospital
Multiple organ failure is the main cause of death in intensive care units. A study published today in the journal Critical Care shows that the main risk factors for death in the intensive care unit are central nervous system failure and cardiovascular failure, and the most frequent cause of death is multiple organ failure. view more (2006-11-03)
Increasing organ donor intentions
Training adolescents how to register as organ donors and video/group discussion combinations increase adolescents' intentions to register as organ donors. These are the findings presented today, Wednesday 5 September, by Dr Johannes Brug and colleagues, Department of Health Education and Promotion, University of Maastricht, at the joint British... view more...

Scientists discover how to isolate stem cells in womb tissue
Scientists in Australia have found a way of identifying probable stem cells in the lining of women's wombs. The finding opens up the possibility of using the stem cells for tissue engineering applications such as building up natural tissue to repair prolapsed pelvic floors. Pelvic floor prolapse is a common condition, affecting over 50% of women... view more... (2007-09-13)
Survival of patients with lung failure depends on health of other organs
Doctors treating lung failure need to focus on the whole patient to improve the chance of patient survival. Research published on 9th July in Critical Care shows that the survival rate of patients admitted to hospital with lung failure alone is good, but diminishes if other vital organs fail. Hans Flaatten and colleagues carried out the 30-month... view more... (2003-07-07)
Squid 'sight': Not just through eyes
It's hard to miss the huge eye of a squid. But now it appears that certain squids can detect light through an organ other than their eyes as well. view more (2009-06-02)

While the number of Americans registered as organ and tissue donors is rising, the registry still only includes 38 percent of licensed drivers. view more (2009-04-14)
ISHLT membership explores expansion of computer modeling system for organ allocation
The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) announces evaluation of a new mathematical modeling system for lung allocation in the United States and the ethical issues surrounding organ allocation facing patients awaiting transplants. view more (2007-04-26)
Radical reform is needed to stop the 'inhumane' practice of transplant tourism
The UK government must bring in presumed consent to organ donation or allow a controlled donor compensation programme for unrelated live donors, in order to bring the "inhumane" practice of transplant tourism from the UK to an end, claims a doctor in this week's BMJ. view more (2008-06-16)
