Women were randomly assigned to the LCS group (<i>n</i> = 40) or the LCM group (<i>n</i> = 40). They underwent objective evaluations, including a standardized stress test, a 24-hour pad test, and a frequency-volume chart. Subjective assessments were made using a quality-of-life questionnaire.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The LCS group exhibited superior outcomes in PAD test improvement (from 147 [31-304] to 3 [0-300] at 1 year, <i>p</i> < 0.001), stress test scores (from 82 [11-153] to 1 [0-124] at 1 year, <i>p</i> < 0.001), and mean micturated volume (increase from 294 ± 65 to 321 ± 57 at 1 year, <i>p</i> = 0.037) compared to the LCM group. Urodynamic findings revealed a higher Maximum Urethral Closure Pressure in the LCS group (33.1 ± 6.9) versus the LCM group (28.3 ± 6.4, <i>p</i> = 0.002). Quality of life improvements were significantly better in the LCS group across various domains. However, the LCM group benefitted from shorter surgery duration, hospital stays, and bladder drainage duration.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>LCS demonstrates significant advantages over LCM in treating female stress urinary incontinence, particularly in cure rates and quality of life improvements.

Using a comprehensive literature search across PubMed, Science Direct, and ResearchGate, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, we synthesized data from 11 geographically diverse studies. Our findings reveal substantial population-specific differences in nephrolithiasis risk factors, particularly familial history, water consumption, and smoking patterns. In Asian populations, a 60% increase in risk was associated with a family history of nephrolithiasis. In the meantime, drinking sources also affected nephrolithiasis risk, with the consumption of boiled water being associated with a 25% increase in risk compared to consumption of bottled or mineral water. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring preventive strategies and treatments to specific risk factors, taking into account regional variations, and call for additional research to understand the complex interaction between genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors in the development of nephrolithiasis.","PeriodicalId":8113,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal of Urology","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136112446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
