Urinary incontinence in women
Urinarna inkontinencija definira se kao nevoljno otjecanje mokraÄe i predstavlja zdravstveni, higijenski i socijalni problem. Raspon tegoba je raznolik, od vrlo oskudnog i povremenog nevoljnog gubitka mokraÄe do potpune nemoguÄnosti kontrole mikcije. Stresna
inkontinencija uz urgentnu te mjeÅ”ovitu najÄeÅ”Äi su tipovi urinarne inkontinencije u žena. U Älanku su prikazane osnove dijagnostike i lijeÄenja urinarne inkontinencije u žena. Urinarna inkontinencija predstavlja znaÄajan zdravstveni problem brojnim naÅ”im pacijenticama, koji je joÅ” uvijek preÄesto zapostavljen. Pacijentice se ustruÄavaju same prve postaviti pitanje i zatražiti medicinsku pomoÄ, najÄeÅ”Äe zbog osjeÄaja srama, straha od stigmatizacije i neinformiranosti o moguÄnostima lijeÄenja.Urinary incontinence is defined asinvoluntary leakage of urine and represents medical, hygienic, social problem. Symptoms range from occasional discreate urinary incontinence to compleate inability to control micturition. Stress urinary incontinence along with urge and mixed are the most common types of urinary incontinence in women. Urinary incontinence represent significant yet underdiagnosed and underreported health problem to huge number of our patients which are still reluctant to seak professional medical treatment due to embarrassment, fear of stigmatisation and unawareness of therapy options

Thus, on the 1373 farm households

63.7 per cent of farmers and only
27.8 per cent of farm women.
Among the motives for the

those of social security, among

was the most frequently mentioned.
The lack of good chances in the

agriculture were mentioned the

objective nature, such as small
holding and unfavorable natural
condition for farming, appear to
be less important. The least
important motives for holding a job
are values related to the farm and
non-farm work, among which
defined working hours and
physically harder work on farms
were mentioned.
There have been found no
essential differences among men
and women related to the
importance of individual motives
for the imployment off of the farm.
However, there is almost always
the higher number of farmers than
farm women who named explicitly
economic motives.
As almost three quarters of
farmers and farm women employed
are ready to give up their job for
the sake of farming under more
favourable conditions, it is likely
that in the future the number of
farm women employed off the
farm will not encrease. On the
contrary, it is to be expenced
that Slovenian farm women will
remain on the farm, and in the
case of economic necessity or some
personal motives will search for
solutions within the frame of their
farm households
NERVE SPARINGĀ« RADICAL HYSTERECTOMY ā PREVENTION OF POST-OPERATIVE URINARY TRACT DYSFUNCTION
Background. Radical hysterectomy is performed on woman with cervical cancer or endometrial cancer that has spread to the cervix.
Aims. To find whether our modified radical hysterectomy represents nerve sparing.
Methods. In 28 patients, modified radical hysterectomy was applied (study group) and the width of the parametria and vaginal cuff were measured. Using a point-counting technique, nerve areal density was determined in cross sections of resected parametria at 0.5 cm (A), 1 cm (B), and 1.5 cm (C) from the cervix. The results were compared with 26 control patients who underwent classic radical hysterectomy. In the study group urodynamic measurements were performed after operation, and correlations with histologic data were calculated. The survival rates and adjuvant treatment were compared between the groups.
Results. Adjuvant treatment was given to 53.57 % in the study and 65.38 % of patients in the control group (P > 0.3). The survival rate after 3 years was 92.85 % in the study and 84.61 % in the control group after more than 5 years. The width of the resected parametria was smaller in the study (mean: right 15.50 mm, left 15.71 mm) compared with the control group (mean: right 22.69 mm; P < 0.013; left 22.96 mm; P < 0.011). The nerve areal density in the lateral part of the right parametrium (C right 6.2 %) was lower in the study than in the control group (C right 9.7 %; P < 0.01). There were several correlations between parametrial width, nerve areal density and urodynamic parameters.
Conclusions. Modified radical hysterectomy is less radical, and apparently also nerve sparing. It does not influence survival rates and does not impair the urinary tract function
Effectiveness of magnetic stimulation in the treatment of urinary incontinence
Urinary incontinence (UI) is becoming an increasingly common health problem. UI treatment can be conservative or surgical. This paper focuses on the effectiveness of magnetic stimulation (MS) in the treatment of UI. We performed a systematic review in order to combine and compare results with results from our clinical study. A clinical prospective non-randomized study was carried out at the Ljubljana University Medical Centerās Gynecology Division. It included 82 randomly selected female patients, irrespective of their UI type. The success rate of using MS in treating UI was based on standardized ICIQ-UI SF questionnaires. Patients completed 10 therapy sessions on MS, and follow-up was performed 3 months after the last therapy session. UI improved after treatment with MS. The ICIQ-UI SF score improved in patients regardless of the type of UI. However, the greatest decrease in post-treatment assessment ICIQ-UI SF scores was seen in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Based on the findings described above, it can be concluded that MS is a successful non-invasive conservative method for treating UI. Future studies are necessary, all of which should include a large sample size, a control group, an optimal research protocol, pre-treatment analyses, standardization, and longer follow-ups

Strokovna staliÅ”Äa Slovenskega združenja za reproduktivno medicino (SZRM) o menopavzni medicini
Obravnava žensk v obdobju predmenopavze, ob menopavzi in kasneje se je v novem tisoÄletju pomembno spremenila. Randomizirane kliniÄne raziskave so bistveno omejile indikacije za uvedbo hormonskega zdravljenja (HZ) in s tem menopavzno medicino postavile pred velik izziv. Na sreÄo so najnovejÅ”a dognanja potrdila, da je ob pravilni uporabi in izbiri HZ korist Å”e vedno bistveno veÄja od tveganja. Zato smo pripravili posodobljena staliÅ”Äa o menopavzni medicini, ki so v skladu z aktualnimi mednarodnimi priporoÄili in prilagojena posebnostim slovenskega prostora
