Urinary incontinence and impaired physical function are associated with expiratory muscle weakness in patients with multiple sclerosis

Sandra Aguilar-Zafra et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, and pelvic floor function on physical function in patients with MS. It found that expiratory muscle weakness is associated with urinary incontinence and physical function deterioration in these patients. The inclusion of respiratory muscle training in rehabilitation programs could potentially improve pelvic floor disorders and physical function for MS patients.

Ingrid Guerra Azevedo et al.

Summary: The study found an association between symptomatic POP and expiratory muscle strength in middle-aged and older women. This suggests the importance of assessing the integrity of pelvic floor muscles when evaluating respiratory muscle strength.

Identification of the Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 and the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 cutoff scores in urinary incontinent women

Katarzyna Skorupska et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the cutoff scores for UDI-6 and IIQ-7 in women with urinary incontinence (UI). The results showed that the optimal cutoff values for distinguishing between symptomatic and asymptomatic women were 33.33 for UDI-6 and 9.52 for IIQ-7, based on the ROC curve analysis with high AUC values of 0.94 for UDI-6 and 0.91 for IIQ-7.

The impacts of parity on spirometric parameters: a systematic review

Leila Triki et al.

Summary: This systematic review examined the impact of parity on spirometric parameters, revealing conflicting results with some studies showing positive effects of multiparity on respiratory function, while others indicating negative impacts. Further research is encouraged to clarify the true impact of parity on spirometric parameters.

Effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle and abdominal training in women with stress urinary incontinence

Burcu Kucukkaya et al.

Summary: This study found that women with stress urinary incontinence benefit more from pelvic floor muscle training plus abdominal training than from pelvic floor muscle training alone in terms of increasing their pelvic floor muscle activity and quality of life, and they also experience an earlier recovery.
