Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the postsurgical sonographic parameters of a readjustable sling (RAS) according to urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms after surgery and compare this RAS sonographic pattern with mid-urethral slings (MUS). METHODS Observational, prospective multicenter study, including women undergoing stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgery with RAS (Remeex®). The primary outcome was the association between UI symptoms and sonographic parameters measured by two-dimensional transperineal and high-frequency endovaginal ultrasound. We measured static parameters (bladder neck funneling, RAS position, symmetry, distance to the urethral lumen), and the movement of the sling on Valsalva. UI symptoms were measured with the postsurgical Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF) questionnaire. We created two control groups including patients with transobturator-MUS (TOT-MUS) and retropubic-MUS (RT-MUS) to compare postsurgical sonographic parameters of RAS with MUS. RESULTS Among the 55 women with RAS included, the postoperative ICIQ-UI-SF scores were significantly higher in patients with bladder neck funneling (15.0 (3.9) vs 10.6 (6.7); P = .020) and in those with discordant movement of RAS on Valsalva (14.6 (5.7) vs 10.3 (6.7); P = .045). Compared with the 109 women with TOT-MUS and the 55 with RT-MUS, RAS was more often located in the proximal urethra and farther from the urethral lumen. CONCLUSIONS Postsurgical pelvic floor ultrasound demonstrated that in women with complex SUI and hypomobile urethra who underwent RAS (Remeex®) surgery, the presence of bladder neck funneling and discordant movement on Valsalva correlate with the persistence of UI symptoms. In these women, RAS is more often located in the proximal urethra and farther from the urethral lumen at rest in comparison with MUS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with mid-urethral sling (MUS) is considered to have a high success rate. However, between 5% and 20% of MUS fail, with inadequate surgical implantation being a possible cause of SUI persistence or recurrence. Misplacement of a MUS can be determined by pelvic floor ultrasound (PF-US). The aim of this study was to investigate the role of PF-US in patients with persistent or recurrent urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms after MUS surgery for SUI with a midterm follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS A historical cohort study including women undergoing MUS surgery for SUI between 2013 and 2015 was designed. The primary outcome was to correlate the sonographic parameters of MUS with SUI cure (negative International Continence Society-Uniform Cough Stress Test, Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form < 5 points and no symptoms of SUI), at 5 years postsurgery. Secondary outcomes were changes of maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) and symptoms of urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) at 1 and 5 years after surgery. RESULTS Eighty-seven patients (80 transobturator-MUS, 7 retropubic-MUS) were included. At 5 years all patients referred improvement of UI and objective cure of SUI was demonstrated in 81.2%. The MUS was sonographically correct in 67 (98.5%) of the 68 patients with cure of SUI. The MUS was considered incorrectly placed in only 4 (28.6%) of the 14 patients with noncured SUI. MUCP decreased from 61.9 to 48.8 cmH2 O at 5 years of follow-up (p < 0.01) and up to 53% of women had UUI symptoms after surgery, with a nonsignificant decrease compared to baseline. CONCLUSION Patients cured of SUI had sonographically correct MUS by PF-US. Less than one-third of cases of SUI persistence or recurrence after MUS surgery could be explained by a sonographically incorrect sling. Low urethral resistance and/or UUI symptoms could help to explain the remaining failures. Complete functional and anatomic studies, including urodynamics and PF-US, should be performed before deciding on the next management strategy in patients with SUI persistence or recurrence after MUS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) in women with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and the usefulness and cost-effectiveness of a rapid molecular test for the diagnosis and clinical management of PID. METHODS This observational study included 75 patients with mild-to-moderate PID (n=33), severe PID (n=29) and non-specific lower abdominal pain (NSAP) (n=13). CT/NG infections were analyzed using a standard and a rapid test. A cost analysis was carried out. RESULTS Samples of 19 patients (25.3%) were CT/NG positive. Concordance between rapid and standard tests was 100%. No significant differences were observed in the incidence of CT/NG in mild-to-moderate compared to severe PID. Costs differed according only to disease severity. CONCLUSIONS Rapid molecular tests could help with the diagnosis of PID in sexually active women in clinical settings in which a standard technique is not available.

Abstract
Anatomic adaptations make birds more prone to open fractures with exposed bone parts losing vascularization. As a result of this exposure, fractures are colonized by different microorganisms, including different types of bacteria, both aerobic and anaerobic, causing osteomyelitis in many cases. For this reason, antibiotic treatment is common. However, carrying out antibiotic treatment without carrying out a previous antibiogram may contribute to increased resistance against antibiotics, especially in migratory wild birds. In this paper, bacterial counts regarding fracture type, bacterial identification and antibiotic resistance have been analysed in wild birds from wildlife rehabilitation centres in Spain. The results obtained showed that open fractures had higher bacterial counts (CFU/mL) than closed ones. Bacteria in family Enterobacteriaceae, identified were Escherichia spp., Enterobacter spp., Shigella spp., Hafnia alvei, Proteus mirabilis, Leclercia adecarboxylata and Pantoea agglomerans. Other bacteria present in wild birds' fractures were Aeromonas spp., Enterococcus spp. Bacillus wiedmannii and Staphylococcus sciuri. All species found presented resistance to at least one of the antibiotics used. Wild birds can be implicated in the introduction, maintenance and global spreading of antibiotic resistant bacteria and represent an emerging public health concern. Results obtained in this paper support the idea that it is necessary to take this fact into account before antibiotic administration to wild animals, since it could increase the number of bacteria resistant to antibiotics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although salmonellosis is considered one of the most important food-borne zoonotic diseases in Europe, close contact between dogs and their owners can also be a potential source of Salmonella spp. for humans. This study assessed the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella spp. in apparently healthy dogs in the Valencian Region, eastern Spain. Moreover, a macroscopic comparison of lactic acid bacteria in both Salmonella-positive and Salmonella-negative dogs was carried out. RESULTS Of a total of 325 dogs sampled, 6 (1.85%) were positive for Salmonella spp. with 3 different serotypes, Havana (3), Mikawasima (2) and monophasic Typhimurium (1). All isolates were susceptible to all antimicrobials tested except monophasic S. Typhimurium, which was resistant to ampicillin. Finally, macroscopic results revealed that lactic acid bacteria had higher heterogeneity in the Salmonella-negative dogs than in the Salmonella-positive dogs. Although the results in our study showed a low prevalence of Salmonella spp., raw food has been suggested as a risk factor for bacteria in dog faeces. CONCLUSIONS Public awareness campaigns on good hygiene practices, especially after handling canine faeces or raw food, are necessary. Furthermore, to reduce the potential transmission of bacteria, dogs should be fed food that has been properly cooked, as raw or undercooked food can be a source of zoonotic pathogens. Moreover, further studies must be performed to determine the relationship between lactic acid bacteria and Salmonella spp. in dog faeces.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mycoplasma bovis is an important pathogen for the cattle industry worldwide causing significant economic losses. Several transmission routes, including those related to reproduction, have been described. Indeed, the pathogen can colonize the female reproductive tract after artificial insemination (AI) with contaminated semen. Lactobacillus spp.-based probiotics have been used for vaginal dysbiosis treatment in women and cows although their role in controlling cervico-vaginal infections due to M. bovis is unknown. The objective of the present work is to assess the viability of M. bovis (PG45, NCTC 10131) in experimentally contaminated cervical mucus after the addition of Lactobacillus spp. at different concentrations as a competing agent and pH acidifier. RESULTS The addition of probiotic at a concentration higher than 108 colony forming units (CFU/mL had a detrimental effect (P < 0.05) on mycoplasma viability in cervical mucus. This coincided with a significant LAB growth and an important decrease in pH from 8.4 to 5.6 (P < 0.05). However, after the addition of less concentrated probiotic, M. bovis survival was not affected and there was no significant LAB growth despite the drop of pH from 8.4 to 6.73 (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The addition of concentrations higher than 108 CFU/mL of Lactobacillus spp. negatively affects M. bovis viability in bovine cervical mucus under in vitro conditions. Although the effect observed on the pathogen viability seems to be related to the pH decrease after LAB proliferation in cervical mucus, further studies are necessary to elucidate if other factors are implicated. Nevertheless, the administration of Lactobacillus spp.-based probiotics might be used in the future to control M. bovis proliferation in the cervico-vaginal tract of cows.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Perineal pain and dyspareunia are experienced by women undergoing a vaginal birth that can have short and longer term physical and psychological morbidities. This review aimed to determine the incidence of perineal pain and dyspareunia following spontaneous vaginal birth (SVB) with intact perineum, first and second-degree perineal trauma or episiotomy. METHODS Searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, AMED and MIDIRS (inception - December 2017) were undertaken with selection criteria of any study evaluating the effect of intact perineum, first- or second-degree perineal trauma on perineal pain or dyspareunia in women with SVB. RESULTS Eighteen studies (8 RCTs and 10 NRSs) were included. Fourteen and 12 studies were undertaken to assess perineal pain and dyspareunia after SVB, respectively. Meta-analysis of 16 studies (3133 women) demonstrated that women at 2 days postpartum experienced nearly the same incidence of perineal pain whether perineal trauma existed or not. At 4-10 days postpartum there was a significant reduction in the incidence of perineal pain for both presence and absence of any perineal trauma. Episiotomy was associated with the highest rate of perineal pain. The incidence of dyspareunia was high at resumption of sexual intercourse following SVB with an intact perineum. At 12 months, women still experienced dyspareunia whether perineal trauma existed or not. CONCLUSIONS Women experience perineal pain and dyspareunia regardless of the presence or absence of perineal trauma after SVB; nonetheless, the reported incidence is higher if perineal trauma occurred.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is considered one of the major risk factors underlying the development of gastritis and gastric and duodenal ulcers. Moreover, 50% of the population carries this bacterium, and consequently, when it is detected, eradication of H. pylori is strongly recommended. Regarding the use of probiotics as functional agents, several studies have shown that there is a direct relationship between the addition of certain probiotic bacteria and in vitro inhibition of H. pylori; however, in vivo studies showing bifidobacterial activity against H. pylori remain scarce. In this study, a Bifidobacterium bifidum strain which proved active in vitro against H. pylori has been isolated, with inhibition levels reaching 81.94% in the case of the supernatant and even 94.77% inhibition for supernatant purified by cationic exchange followed by an inverse phase. In vivo studies using a BALB/c mouse model have proved that this strain partially relieves damage to gastric tissues caused by the pathogen and also decreases the H. pylori pathogenicity ratio. This novel strain fulfills the main properties required of a probiotic (resistance to gastrointestinal juices, biliary salts, NaCl, and low pH; adhesion to intestinal mucus; and sensitivity to antibiotics). Furthermore, the absence of undesirable metabolites has been demonstrated, and its food safety status has been confirmed by acute ingestion studies in mice. In summary, the results presented here demonstrate that Bifidobacterium bifidum CECT 7366 can be considered a probiotic able to inhibit H. pylori both in vitro and in vivo.
