The translation of clinical guidelines into practice is a complex process, primarily because it is a 'top down' approach to disseminating information. The aim of this study was to determine whether current guidelines and standards have been applied t... Read More about The bridges and barriers to 'good' urodynamic practice: A regional perspective.

This is the first proof of concept study to demonstrate that a topical α adrenergic agonist gel is rapidly and consistently absorbed vaginally and may have a role in the management of female SUI. However, since recruitment was difficult this may indi... Read More about The efficacy and safety of PSD503 (phenylephrine 20%, w/w) for topical application in women with stress urinary incontinence.
