    Notes: Abstract In a prospective blinded comparative clinical study 125 women underwent videocystourethrography and cystometry as well as transperineal ultrasound as part of their diagnostic work-up for urinary incontinence or after incontinence-correcting surgery. Comparisons between ultrasound and X-ray imaging were carried out on 117 women for whom complete data sets were available. Mean bladder neck descent was significantly greater with ultrasound compared to VCU (US: 2.1±1.2 cm vs. VCU: 1.8±0.9;P=0.003). Rotation of the proximal urethra was not always seen on X-ray, but when it was (44 patients) there was good correlation with US (US rotation 55±27° vs. VCU rotation 55°±29). There was also good agreement between both tests regarding visualization of funneling or opening of the proximal urethra, with both tests showing equivalent results in 95 out of 117 patients (Cohen's κ 0.58). On comparing extensive funneling to the midurethra on US with frank leakage on VCU the methods were in agreement for 90 out of 117 patients (κ 0.54). Overall a good correlation between ultrasound and radiological findings was observed. Both methods allow anatomic assessment of the bladder neck and have different strengths and weaknesses. Ultrasound imaging may be preferable as it is chaper, requires less technological back-up and avoids the risks of radiation exposure and allergic reactions to contrast medium.

    Notes: Abstract A randomized controlled trial was carried out to evaluate the extent to which a program of reinforced pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFME) reduces urinary incontinence 1 year after delivery. Two hundred and thirty women who were incontinent 3 months postpartum were randomized to either a control group doing standard postnatal pelvic floor muscle exercises (n=117) or to an intervention group (n=113) who saw a physiotherapist for instruction at approximately 3, 4, 6 and 9 months postpartum. Results collected 12 months after delivery included prevalence and frequency of incontinence and PFME, sexual satisfaction, perineometry measurements and pad tests. Twenty-six (22%) of the control group and 59 (52%) of the intervention group withdrew before the final assessment. The prevalence of incontinence was significantly less in the intervention group than in the control group (50% versus 76%,P=0.0003), and this group also did significantly more PFME. There were no significant differences between the groups as regards sexual satisfaction, perineometry measurements or pad test results.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Dans un groupe de 36 patients ayant subi une arthroplastie totale de la hanche, une comparaison a été réalisée entre l'activité spécifique de la Cathepsine D et le degré d'inflammation de la membrane synoviale, évalué lors de l'étude histologique. Une excellente corrélation a été observée entre ces deux paramètres (coefficient de correlation 0,82). En outre, il a été constaté que 5 patients atteints d'arthrite rhumatoïde, présentaient une activité spécifique élevée de la cathepsine (coefficient 0,92±0,07) ainsi que des degrés d'inflammation élevés, (27,0±7,0), d'après une échelle établie par les auteurs. Par contre, chez des patients atteints d'autres affections (descellement prothétique, nécrose avasculaire idiopathique, résection épiphysaire préalable) on observe une chute de l'indice enzymatique (0,44±0,23) ainsi que du degré d'inflammation (11,4±5,5). Dans les cas de coxarthrose on peut définir deux groupes: - le 1er (20% des cas) est caractérisé par une élévation de l'indice enzymatique (0,89±0,19) et du degré d'inflammation de la membrane (20,6±5,4). - le second (80% des cas) présente à l'inverse un faible indice enzymatique (0,31±0,15) de même qu'un faible degré d'inflammation (8,6±4,7) (Table 1).
    Notes: Summary A comparison was made between the specific activity of cathepsin D and a histologic score for inflammation on synovial tissue obtained from 36 patients undergoing total hip replacement and an excellent correlation was found between these parameters (correlation coefficient 0.82). In addition it was found that 5 patients with the clinical diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis had high cathepsin-specific activity (0.92±0.07) and high histologic scores (27.0±7.0). Patients with other diagnoses (failed prosthesis, idiopathic avascular necrosis, former resected hip) had low enzyme levels (0.44±0.23) as well as low histologic scores for inflammation (11.4±5.5). In cases with degenerative hip disease two groups could be definitively separated. Group 1 (20%) was characterized by high enzyme levels (0.89±0.19) and high histological scores (20.6±5.4). Group II (80%) was characterized by low enzyme levels (0.31±0.15) and low histologic scores (8.6±4.7) (Table 1).
