“…A phenomenon often noted in lake sediments is a loss in the intensity of NRM and magnetic susceptibility. This is thought to be due to the oxidation of labile greigite and biological oxidation of pyrite (Hilton et al, 1986;Hilton, 1990;Snowball & Thompson, 1990;Crockford & Willet, 1995). On air drying there was dramatic loss of intensity of NRM and volume susceptibility in both units 3 and 4 and a dramatic change in remanence direction (Table 6).…”

“…However, a loss of susceptibility and a change in remanence direction during oxidation should not be significant if single-domain magnetite oxidizes to maghaemite (Henshaw & Merrill, 1979). Hilton (1990) shows that a loss in susceptibility and intensity in an anoxic lake sediment is caused partially by the microbial degradation of magnetite under oxidizing conditions and the oxidation of authigenically formed greigite to a less strongly magnetic form. Hilton (1990) observed a large intensity loss when the sediment was treated with hydrogen peroxide and subsequently dried (this was also observed in unit 4).…”

“…However, due to their surgical morbidity and complication associated with a transabdominal approach, they are no longer considered as the first choice for treating SUI without associated hysterectomy. Recently, minimally invasive procedures have also been reported to achieve similar results to surgery with 14 Urol Int 2001;66: [13][14][15][16][17] Kuo less morbidity in selected patient groups [3,4]. Although these procedures are less invasive, the long-term results remain controversial [5,6].…”

Objective: To compare the long-term success rates of bladder neck suspension (BNS) and pubovaginal sling procedure in different types of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in order to identify appropriate treatment strategies for SUI. Methods: A total of 157 women who received anti-incontinence surgery were followed-up for a mean period of 58.1 ± 33.9 months. The surgical outcome was analyzed and was compared among the different types of SUI and among BNS and pubovaginal sling procedures. Results: SUI was classified as type I in 16 patients, type II in 111 patients, and type III in 34 patients. Surgical procedures included Gittes BNS (n = 62), Raz BNS (n = 53), and pubovaginal sling procedure (n = 42). The total success rate was 77.1%, including a 38.2% cure rate and a 38.9% significantly improved rate. Analysis of the results revealed that type III SUI had the lowest success rate (67.6%), while the pubovaginal sling procedure had the best success (93.9%) and cure rates (54.8%). The success rates of BNS were significantly lower than that of pubovaginal sling in type III SUI, less favorable in type II SUI, but remained high in type I SUI. 75% of patients with treatment failure had recurrence within the fist postoperative year. Conclusions: In this series of patients, the long-term cure rates of anti-incontinence surgeries are not satisfactory. BNS procedures had satisfactory results only in type I SUI while the pubovaginal sling procedure had better results in both types II and III SUI. The pubovaginal sling procedure might have better long-term results in the treatment of all types of SUI.

Clinical outcome and changes in connective tissue metabolism after intravaginal slingplasty in stress incontinent women

et al. 1996

The intravaginal slingplasty procedure (IVS) was carried out on 75 patients with genuine stress urinary incontinence. The main aims of the operation are to create an artificial pubourethral ligament and to tighten the suburethral vaginal wall. An important ingredient in the supportive structures of the genitourinary region is fibrous connective tissue, consisting mainly of collagen. To analyse this component biopsies were obtained transvaginally, close to the position of the sling, both preoperatively and 2 years after surgery, from 6 patients. Collagen was analysed for concentration and extractability. Extractability by pepsin digestion was increased by 60% 2 years following surgery. Postoperative follow-up studies from 12 months to 3 years showed complete restoration of continence in 63 patients (84%) and considerable improvement in 4 others (5%). The 8 failures (9%) were all related to early rejection of the sling. The IVS procedure is an attractive surgical procedure as it necessitates minimum invasion and can be performed under local anesthesia, with a short hospital stay and sick-leave period. The enhanced collagen extractability indicates a changed metabolism, most likely induced by the implanted sling, resulting in a restoration of the elastic properties of the connective tissue.
