Summary
This action plan aims to improve overactive bladder (OAB) care for women by advancing research and minimizing adverse events like cognitive impairment. It promotes health equity and reduces stigma associated with OAB and incontinence.
Area of Science:
- Urogynecology and Women's Health Research
- Neuroscience and Aging
Background:
- Overactive bladder (OAB) affects many women, with current treatments sometimes causing adverse events, including cognitive impairment.
- A comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach is needed to improve OAB management and patient outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline an evidence-informed action plan for the American Urogynecologic Society to enhance OAB care.
- To address research gaps, promote health equity, and reduce stigma related to OAB and cognitive impairment.
Main Methods:
- Summarizing initiatives from the State-of-the-Science Conference on OAB and Cognitive Impairment.
- Developing a framework for novel OAB treatment approaches.
- Identifying research priorities and fostering collaborations.
Main Results:
- A comprehensive, multidimensional action plan is proposed.
- Key areas include advancing research, ensuring health equity, and community education.
- Partnerships with stakeholders are crucial for elevating OAB visibility.
Conclusions:
- The proposed action plan provides a roadmap for improving OAB care in women.
- Addressing cognitive impairment and promoting health equity are critical components.
- Continued research, education, and stakeholder engagement are essential for progress.

In managing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in nursing, a comprehensive assessment is essential. Begin by gathering subjective data, such as the patient’s complaints of dysuria (painful urination), urinary frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain, and any lower abdominal discomfort. This information can be complemented by questions regarding previous UTIs, sexual activity, and personal hygiene practices, which can provide insight into risk factors. Objective assessment should focus on signs...

1.2K
The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...

Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is a subtype of IBS characterized primarily by frequent, loose, or watery stools, abdominal pain, and abdominal discomfort. Therapeutic approaches to managing IBS-D include dietary changes, stress management techniques, and pharmaceutical interventions.
Two specific drugs used in the treatment are alosetron (Lotronex) and eluxadoline (Viberzi). Alosetron, a 5-HT3 antagonist, works by slowing the movement of stools in the gut, reducing bowel...
