[Long term follow-up of the tendinous urethral support: an anatomical approach for stress urinary incontinence]. / Seguimiento a largo plazo del soporte uretral tendinoso: un enfoque anatómico para incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo.

Sling procedures have been around for decades in the management female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), but only in the past decade they have become the preferred technique. Minimally invasive procedures are the procedure of choice in many centers for your efficacy and low morbidity. The tendinous urethral support (TUS) represents an anatomical approach that consists in placing a midurethral low tension tape anchored to the tendinous arc bilaterally. From February 1999 to October 2000, 25 female patients (mean age: 53 years old), with SUI underwent TUS procedure, and 23 were available for follow-up. Those patients were followed until 72 months. After six months, 20 (87%) patients were dry, 2 (8.7%) improved and 1 (4.3%) incontinent. However, at the last evaluation, 15 (65.2%) investigation.

Los procedimientos tipo sling han sido utilizados por décadas para el manejo de la incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo (IUE) femenina, pero sólo en la década pasada han llegado a ser la técnica de elección. Los procedimientos mínimamente invasivos son el procedimiento de elección en algunos centros por su eficacia y baja morbilidad. El soporte uretral tendinoso (TUS) representa un enfoque anatómico que consiste en colocar una cincha de baja tensión a nivel de la uretra media, anclada al arco tendíneo de manera bilateral. De febrero 1999 a octubre 2000, 25 pacientes femeninas con IUE y con una edad media de 53 años fueron intervenidas mediante TUS. De ellas, 23 pudieron evaluarse a largo plazo con un seguimiento un máximo 72 meses. Después de 6 meses, 20 pacientes (87%) se encontraban secas, 2 (8,7%) mejoraron y 1 (4,3%) era incontinente. Sin embargo, al final del seguimiento, 15 pacientes estaban continentes (65,2%), 3 (13%) mejoraron y 5 (21%) seguían incontinentes. Por lo que, el TUS es un concepto que merece investigaciones adicionales

On the resolution of fenfluramine.

Resolution of fenfluramine with (+)-dibenzoyltartaric acid affords (+)-fenfluramine in contradiction of literature claims that (-)-fenfluramine is obtained by use of (+)-dibenzoyltartaric acid. The intermediate dibenzoyltartrate salt has been fully characterized and the absolute configuration of the enantiomers of fenfluramine has been confirmed to be as previously established. Use of (-)-dibenzoyltartaric acid, followed by use of (+)-dibenzoyltartaric acid is the preferred method for obtaining both fenfluramine enantiomers.
