App-based treatment for urinary incontinence was as effective as in-person treatment
A mobile app designed to help women manage urinary incontinence was as effective as usual, in-person treatment of incontinence in primary care, according to new research from the Netherlands.
The study included 262 women with frequent stress incontinence, overactive bladder or a mix of symptoms. Participants were randomly assigned to use a standalone mobile app called URinControl, which offered pelvic floor muscle and bladder training exercises.
Those in a control group received standard care and were referred to their own primary care doctors who were broadly advised to follow the Dutch guidelines for primary care. After four months, women who used only the incontinence app and those who continued with standard care experienced similar results, with a decline in the severity of their symptoms, less frequent leakage and improved quality of life.
BMW M2
Entry level of the mighty M series of cars, its no slouch. Short wheel base, turbo charged screaming 3 litre inline 6, Dual clutch 7 speed Automatic. Car is a looker too with short squat stance and aggressive intakes. Back seats were ok.
The car had 25k on Odo and could have been abused. The ride was too firm for me and realized will not enjoy as a daily driver. Representative image , sourced from internet
Maserati Quattroporte GTS
Came across a pristine pre-owned car. Maserati makes one of the best sounding engines. But the car is known to have maintenance issue and depreciates at a rapid pace. Didn’t want to end up with a lemon as the maintenance costs locally are super high.
Muscle Shoals City Schools going remote for teacher vaccinations (Source: WAFF) By Anna Mahan | March 6, 2021 at 11:05 AM CST - Updated March 6 at 11:07 AM
MUSCLE SHOALS Ala. (WAFF) - All students within the Muscle Shoals City School district will go remote for a few days in order for their teachers to get their second dose of their COVID-19 vaccine!
All Muscle Shoals City Schools district employees received their first dose of the vaccine in February. Now, it’s almost time for their second dose.
All Muscle Shoals City Schools will transition to remote learning Tuesday, March 9 through Thursday, March 11.
School officials say this should allow employees enough time to receive their second dose and have time to recover from any side effects from it.
Dear Dietitian, Iâve been doing a very clean keto/Mediterranean diet for a year and have lost 105 pounds. Iâm 11 pounds away from my goal and cannot seem to get there. I do intermittent fasting five days a week and cardio workouts 45-60 minutes a day. My carbs stay at 23 grams or less a day, 90 grams of protein, and I drink 65-80 ounces of water. Any suggestions?
Rita
Dear Rita,
Wow! Thatâs a fantastic weight loss! Congratulations! Just about everyone on a weight loss journey has experienced the frustration of a plateau. Itâs so hard to be patient, but youâve come this far, so hang on a little longer. You will see results.
