Fit4SurgeryTV At-home Prehabilitation for Frail Older Patients Planned for Colorectal Cancer Surgery: A Pilot Study.
The preoperative phase is a potential window of opportunity. Although frail elderly patients are known to be more prone to postoperative complications, they are often not considered capable of accomplishing a full prehabilitation program. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of Fit4SurgeryTV, an at-home prehabilitation program specifically designed for frail older patients with colorectal cancer. ⋯ This study showed that at-home prehabilitation in frail older patients with colorectal cancer is feasible. As a result, patients might be fitter for surgery and might recover faster. The perioperative period could serve as a pivotal time point in reverting complications of immobility.

The Effect of Pelvic Floor Muscle Contraction on Detrusor Overactivity Pressure in Neurogenic and Nonneurogenic Women During Urodynamic Study: A Cross-Sectional Study.
The aims of this study were to investigate whether detrusor overactivity can be influenced by a pelvic floor muscle contraction in multiple sclerosis-associated overactive bladder and idiopathic overactive bladder volunteers and to compare urodynamic findings between the two groups. ⋯ The results suggest that pelvic floor muscle contraction is able to reduce detrusor overactivity pressure in multiple sclerosis-associated overactive bladder and overactive bladder population.
