djustment-controlled tape placement. We analyzed women with urinary incontinence and used two different surgical methods. Our results prove the efficacy and safety of suburethral adjustment-controlled tape in treating urinary incontinence in women.

Our purpose was to standardize the surgery stage for urinary incontinence, and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of suburethral adjustment-controlled tape placement. We analyzed women with urinary incontinence and used two different surgical methods. Our results prove the efficacy and safety of suburethral adjustment-controlled tape in treating urinary incontinence in women.

Completion rates and correspondence to other measures need to be established for the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ) bladder diary (ICIQ-BD) in the assessment of male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

To evaluate ICIQ-BD completion rates, frequency, volume, and sensation reporting for men.

Baseline data from the Urodynamics for Prostate Surgery Trial; Randomised Evaluation of Assessment Methods (UPSTREAM) randomised controlled trial evaluating 820 men at 26 UK hospitals, looking at the ICIQ-BD, uroflowmetry, International Prostate Symptom Score, and ICIQ symptom score for male LUTS (ICIQ-MLUTS), were assessed.

The ICIQ-BD, IPSS, ICIQ-MLUTS, and uroflowmetry data at baseline obtained from UPSTREAM were assessed. Correlations were analysed by Pearson's correlation coefficient, and comparison between groups were performed using paired or unpaired t tests or Tukey's test. All statistical tests were two sided and the strength of evidence was presented using p values.

OfIQ-BD sensation scores correlated weakly with symptom scores. Voided volumes from the bladder diary and uroflowmetry correlated weakly.

Two-thirds of men (543/820) fully completed voiding information in the ICIQ-BD, but many omitted bedtime information, limiting the ability to quantify nocturia and diagnose nocturnal polyuria.

Most men with urinary symptoms complete a bladder diary fully but may fail to indicate bedtimes. Extra information from a diary helps support symptom questionnaires to explain a patient's urinary habits.

However, these studies fail to demonstrate clinically significant increases in bladder capacity or changes in mean voided volumes at night.

Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare genetic disease characterized by extreme elevations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and extremely premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. To date, impacts of HoFH and its treatment on the psychosocial wellbeing of patients have been poorly characterized.

We performed a systematic review of the association between HoFH and health-related quality of life (HRQL).

This review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) consensus guidelines. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, The Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials (CENTRAL), Pubmed, Scopus, AfricaWide (via EBSCO), and six trial registries and grey-literature databases from inception to May 2021 for published English-language literature examining HRQL and its determinants in HoFH. Studies were eligible if they included patients with confirmed HoFH and evaluated HRQL using validated tools. We performed a narrativt compromised educational attainment and employment. However, few patients received psychological support in navigating their treatment challenges. No studies evaluated the association of HoFH with incident anxiety, depression, or other psychopathology.

Limited data are available on quality of life for patients with HoFH. The available data suggest that these patients may suffer disease-related impairments in quality of life. Future work should aim to elucidate relationships between HoFH and mental health outcomes and develop interventions to improve quality of life in this population.

Despite the many advances in the field of assisted reproductive technologies, accurately predicting the outcome of an IVF cycle has yet to be achieved. One reason for this is the method of selecting an embryo for transfer. Morphological assessment of embryos is the traditional method of evaluating embryo quality and selecting which embryo to transfer. However, this subjective method of assessing embryos leads to inter- and intra-observer variability, resulting in less than optimal IVF success rates. To overcome this, it is common practice to transfer more than one embryo, potentially resulting in high-risk multiple pregnancies. Although time-lapse incubators and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy have been introduced to help increase the chances of live birth, the outcomes remain less than ideal. Utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly popular in the medical field and is increasingly being leveraged in the embryology laboratory to help improve IVF outcomes. Many studies have been published investigating the use of AI as an unbiased, automated approach to embryo assessment. This review summarizes recent AI advancements in the embryology laboratory.

In patients with unresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer (CRCLM), systemic doublet or triplet chemotherapy and targeted therapy is considered a standard first-line treatment. Hepatic arterial infusion of oxaliplatin (HAI-ox) generates a high response rate, but this still needs to be confirmed in a randomized trial. We incorporated HAI-ox in doublet or triplet+targeted therapy to validate its efficacy.

The OSCAR study is an ongoing randomized phase III trial comparing FOLFOX+targeted therapy according to RAS status, or FOLFOXIRI+bevacizumab in patients eligible for triplet therapy, with the same regimen but with HAI-ox instead of IV-ox as the first-line treatment for CRCLM.

Main eligibility criteria are colorectal cancer, unresectable liver metastasis, no extra-hepatic metastases except pulmonary nodules if ≤3 and <10mm, ECOG performance status 0 or 1.

The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS). A difference of 4 months for the median PFS in favor of HAI-ox is expected (HR=0.73). Secondary endpoints include overall survival, overall response rate, secondary liver resection, safety, and quality of life.

This study is planned to include 348 patients to demonstrate the superiority of HAI-ox over systemic oxaliplatin in first-line CRCLM treatment (NCT02885753).

Older adults with cancer may be spousal caregivers for partners with one or more chronic conditions, and there has not been an overview of the needs of this population. Therefore, we conducted a scoping review to assess what is known about the type and amount of spousal care provided by older adults (≥65years) with any type of cancer, in the active treatment phase.

A search strategy was designed with a Health Sciences Librarian and performed using the following electronic databases from inception to January 2021 Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Excerpta Medica Database (Embase), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and PsycInfo. Two independent reviewers screened all abstracts and full-text studies for inclusion.

Searches were run February 26, 2020, and re-run January 8, 2021. A total of 8887 titles and abstracts were screened and 32 selected for full text review, but only two case reports were included in this review. The two case reports discussed the experience of an older adult with cancer, in active treatment, as the caregiver to a spouse. However, the type and amount of care provided by the caregiver to the spouse was not specified in either report. In both reports, caregivers declined cancer therapy to focus on the needs of the care recipients.

Only two case reports were identified that examined the experiences of older adults with cancer acting as caregivers to a spouse. It is important for future studies to address this gap to better understand the needs of this population and develop future supportive interventions.

Reporting high-quality bariatric surgery outcomes depends on participant attrition and level of study participation among enrolled participants.

Our aims are to report participant attrition, active enrollment, and level of participation, and to evaluate pre-surgery sociodemographic, physical health, and psychosocial factors as predictors of attrition and level of participation through 5 years.

The Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery-2 study which enrolled 2458 adults undergoing a first bariatric surgical procedure at 1 of 6 US cites from 2006 through 2009.

In-person research assessments were conducted pre-surgery and annually for five years. Extensive retention strategies including offering remote assessments (telephone, email, mail, or a combination) were fully implemented in 2009. Among living participants, including those inactivated, annual follow-up assessments were categorized as in-person, remote or missed through 5 years.

By year 5, 1.7% of participants had died and 3.2% had withdrantion efforts.

To examine potential changes in mental and physical fatigue across an elite netball pre-season training phase and relationships between mental fatigue, physical fatigue, salivary cortisol (sCort) and alpha-amylase (sAA).

Observational with repeated measures.

Across a 16-week pre-season, 10 elite female netballers (25.3 ± 3.7y) rated their physical fatigue, mental fatigue and readiness to perform on 100-mm visual analogue scales, and provided salivary samples for sCort and sAA analyses.

Linear mixed model analyses revealed elevated (p < 0.05) ratings of mental fatigue for weeks 12, 14 and 15 v 1; 12, 14 and 15 v 4 and 14 v 7. Higher (p < 0.05) ratings of physical fatigue were reported on weeks 6, 10, 11 and 12-16 compared to week 4; and 10 and 13 compared to week 7. Moderate and large ES differences were found between multiple weeks. Mental and physical fatigue demonstrated a shared variance of 14.3% (r = 0.38, p < 0.001) and an inverse relationship was observed between mental fatigue and readiness to perform (r = -0.
