Sacral neuromodulation effects on periurethral sensation and urethral sphincter activity.
AIMS To characterize the effect of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) on urethral neuromuscular function. METHODS Following IRB approval, women with refractory overactive bladder (OAB) underwent standardized urethral testing prior to and after Stage 1 SNM implantation. Periurethral sensation was measured using current perception thresholds (CPT). Striated urethral sphincter activity was quantified ...
متن کاملMultiplicity correlation between neutrons and gamma-rays emitted from SNM and non-SNM sources
Keywords: Special nuclear materials Cosmic-ray radiation Monte Carlo simulation Joint and marginal probability density functions Multiplicity correlation a b s t r a c t The challenge in detection and identification of Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) is to discriminate between the time-correlated neutrons and gamma-rays emitted from SNM and those originating from non-correlated or differently-c...
متن کاملEffect of sacral neuromodulation on female sexual function and quality of life: Are they correlated?
INTRODUCTON Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) has become an established therapy for voiding dysfunction. Additional benefits, such as improved bowel functions and bladder pain, have been reported. Improvement in female sexual function after SNM treatment has been suggested; however, reports examining the effects of SNM on female sexual functions are scarce. We evaluate the effects of SNM on female s...
متن کاملLocating Sensors for Detecting Source-to-Target Patterns of Special Nuclear Material Smuggling: A Spatial Information Theoretic Approach
In this paper, a spatial information-theoretic model is proposed to locate sensors for detecting source-to-target patterns of special nuclear material (SNM) smuggling. In order to ship the nuclear materials from a source location with SNM production to a target city, the smugglers must employ global and domestic logistics systems. This paper focuses on locating a limited set of fixed and mobile...
متن کاملSpectral radius minimization for optimal average consensus and output feedback stabilization
In this paper, we consider two problems which can be posed as spectral radius minimization problems. Firstly, we consider the fastest average agreement problem on multi-agent networks adopting a linear information exchange protocol. Mathematically, this problem can be cast as finding an optimal W ∈ Rn×n such that x(k + 1) = Wx(k), W1 = 1, 1TW = 1T and W ∈ S(E). Here, x(k) ∈ Rn is the value poss...
