Non-invasive biofeedback-assisted vs. conventional pelvic floor muscle training combined with high-effort resistance training for urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Radical prostatectomy (RP) often leads to urinary incontinence (UI). There is sufficient evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that pelvic floor muscle and sphincter training (PFMT) are effective interventions to reduce UI. Objective To compare the...

Hairy Roots Cultures from the Slow-Growing and Protected Panax ginseng, Leontopodium alpinum and Gynostemma pentaphyllum as an Alternative Source of Antimicrobials

Background/Objectives: Although the potential of hairy roots in secondary metabolite including antimicrobal production has been demonstrated in many laboratories, the scale-up to industrial production might lead to undesired phenomena affecting the final products. Methods: Here,...

Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists

Societal Impact Statement Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 100...

Evaluating plasma renin activity as a monitoring parameter for mineralocorticoid treatment in dogs with primary hypoadrenocorticism

Abstract Background In human medicine, plasma renin activity (PRA) is used to assess mineralocorticoid treatment adequacy in hypoadrenocorticism, with elevated levels indicating under-replacement and suppressed levels over-replacement. In dogs with primary hypoadrenocorticism, PR...
