Abstract

Using data collected in the DELPHI detector at LEP-1, measurements of the inclusive τ branching ratios for decay modes containing one, three, or five charged particles have been performed, giving the following results: B1 ≡ B(τ- → (particle)-≥0π0≥0K0 vτ(v̄)) = (85.316 ± 0.093 ± 0.049)%; B3 ≡ B(τ- → 2h-h+≥0π0≥0K0vτ) = (14.569 ± 0.093 ± 0.048)%; B5 ≡ B(τ- → 3h-2h+≥0π0≥0K0vτ) = (0.115 ± 0.013 ± 0.006)%, where h is either a charged π or K meson. The first quoted uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic.

Abstract

A test of the QED process e(+)e(-) –> gamma gamma>(*) over bar *(gamma) is reported. The data analysed were collected with the DELPHI detector in 1998 and 1999 at the highest energies achieved at LEP, reaching 202 GeV in the centre-of-mass. The total integrated luminosity amounts to 375.7 pb(-1). The differential and total cross-sections for the process e(+)e(-) –> gamma gamma were measured, and found to be in agreement with the QED prediction. 95% confidence level (C.L.) lower limits on the QED cut-off parameters of Lambda (+) > 330 GeV and Lambda_ > 320 GeV were derived. A 95% C.L. lower bound on the mass of an excited electron of 311 GeV/c(2) (for lambda gamma = 1) was obtained, s-channel virtual graviton exchange was searched for, resulting in 95% C.L. lower limits on the string mass scale, M-S: M-S > 713 GeV/c(2) (lambda = 1) and M-S > 691 GeV/c(2) (lambda = -1).

Abstract

Purpose: While pump manipulation is rarely problematic in male patients with artificial urinary sphincters (AUSs), the situation may differ in female patients due to anatomical or cultural factors. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of difficulties in pump manipulation among female AUS patients, identify associated risk factors, and explore management strategies for this challenging issue., Methods: Data were collected from all female patients who underwent a robotic AUS implantation at a single academic center between 2014 and 2022. The primary endpoint was temporary difficulties, defined by at least one other short hospitalization to learn pump manipulation., Results: Out of the 88 female AUS patients included in the study, 20 experienced initial difficulties manipulating the pump, accounting for 22.7% of the group. Temporary difficulties were reported by 16 patients (18.2%), while 4 patients (4.5%) had their devices permanently deactivated. Surgical reoperations to reposition the pump were necessary for 5 patients, representing 5.6% of the sample. The only variables significantly associated with temporary difficulties were longer operative time (183.4 minutes vs. 159.1 minutes, P=0.04) and the overall experience of the center (32 vs. 50, P=0.04). The sole variable significantly linked to serious difficulties was the overall experience of the center (11 vs. 47, P=0.004). Although the median age and body mass index were higher in the group with temporary difficulties, these differences were not statistically significant., Conclusion: Difficulties in manipulating the pump are relatively common among female AUS patients. Most of these difficulties can be resolved through repeated patient education and careful follow-up. However, some may lead to serious complications. Raising awareness of this issue, along with ongoing patient education and meticulous follow-up, may help to minimize these consequences.

Abstract

Introduction: Peyronie's and Dupuytren's diseases are benign but are source of significant functional impairment leading to considerable suffering. In this study, the aim is to investigate the association between Peyronie's and Dupuytren's diseases as well as their common and specific risk factors., Material and Methods: From July 2022 to March 2024, we conducted a multicentric observational study on 450 patients. Patients followed up for Peyronie's and/or Dupuytren's disease were given a questionnaire that included a consent form, in order to screen one or the other associated disease and explore all risk factors., Results: Among the 278 patients followed for Dupuytren's disease, 35 (12.3%) had Peyronie's disease. Of the 172 patients with initial Peyronie's disease, 50 (29.1%) were diagnosed with Dupuytren's disease. Eventually, 85 patients had both pathologies (18.9%). High blood pressure was significantly more prevalent in patients with both diseases, compared to subjects with Peyronie's disease only (37.7% vs. 38.4% vs. 24.4%; P=0.02). The same observation was made regarding smoking (62.3% vs. 60.7% vs. 48.8%; P=0.05) and daily alcohol consumption (52.9% vs. 41.7% vs. 35.8%; P=0.04). Patients diagnosed with isolated Dupuytren's disease were more likely to be diabetic (13.6% vs. 9.41%; P=0.42). Blue eyes and family history were significantly more often reported in Dupuytren's patients (33.9% vs. 22.8%; P=0.03; P<0.001). Ledderhose disease was significantly more prevalent in patients with both diseases or isolated Dupuytren's disease (21.2% vs. 12.4% vs. 3.3%; P=0.0003)., Conclusion: This study confirms the association between Peyronie and Dupuytren diseases. Smoking, alcohol daily consumption and hypertension are more prevalent in case of associated diseases. Blue eyes and family history are significantly more frequently found in case of Dupuytren's contracture. More powerful studies including a control group are necessary., (Copyright © 2024 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.. All rights reserved.)

Abstract

Purpose: Previous studies suggested better functional outcomes and longer device survival for female artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation compared to male AUS implantation. We hypothesized that the adoption of robotic approaches for female implantation might have influenced these comparisons. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of robotic female AUS and male AUS implantation for non-neurogenic stress urinary incontinence (SUI)., Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts of male patients who had AUS implantation and female patients who underwent robotic AUS implantation for non-neurogenic SUI between 2010 and 2022 at a single center. Prior AUS implantations were exclusion criteria. The primary endpoint was continence status at 3 months, categorized as complete resolution of SUI (0 pad), improved SUI (1pad), or unchanged SUI (>1pad)., Results: After excluding 79 patients, 171 were included: 70 women and 101 men. Operative time was shorter in males (126.9 vs. 165.5 min; p < 0.0001). Postoperative complication rates were similar (17.3% vs. 22.9%; p = 0.38). Continence status at 3 months and last follow-up favored females. The ICIQ-SF decrease at 3 months was greater in females (-7.2 vs. -4.6; p < 0.001). The 5-year estimated explantation-free survival was similar (78.6% vs. 73.7%; p = 0.94) as was the revision-free survival (67.4% vs. 61.7%; p = 0.89). Multivariate analysis showed that female gender was associated with better continence at last follow-up (OR = 4.3; p = 0.03)., Conclusion: Robotic female AUS implantation is associated with better functional outcomes than male AUS implantation, with similar morbidity and survival rates., (© 2024.

Abstract

The impact of starting dialysis on patients with renal failure requires nurses to draw on their educational, pedagogical and interpersonal skills. It is important to monitor the patients in their daily lives to support them and encourage them to comply with their prescribed therapy.
