I had a bad tear in my prenium. I never even thought about the possibility of the labia tearing. That sounds horrendous and painful!

Yes it was very painful let's just say it hasn't looked the same sence :-(

I had second degree tear. When the baby crowns I think the doc will help stretch the area to prevent tearing. I didn't stop pushing when told to therefore I thinks that's why I tore.

My suggestion is to not deliver laying on your back. Hands and knees, squatting, any position other than laying in bed let's you stretch more naturally. Also having an epidural makes you more likely to tear because you can't feel what is going on down there to push as your body needs to instead of doing guided pushing.

Jonotjoe- that makes perfect since! I had epirdural with ODS but not YDS. I am gonna take your suggestion talk it over with my doc at my next appt! Thank you :-)

I had a 3&1/2 degree tear (4 is a complete tear). I could barely walk for about 2 weeks, couldn't get in or out of bed on my own. I'd prefer not to go through that again. My midwife even stretched me out a lot too.
Posted 09/19/2012
You can do it yourself but I have DH do it for me, perinal massage. Like 6 wks before there is a special way to massage and strech that area to get it ready for the big day
Posted 09/20/2012
I hope I don't sound like a total idiot, but what's the "prenium massage" to avoid tearing?

Every summer, wealth management firm Cumberland Advisors' chief executive, David Kotok, convenes a few dozen of the most successful economists and investors in the deep woods of Maine for fishing, camaraderie and thoughtful discussion.
A staple of "Camp Kotok" is an annual survey that asks participants for their bets on various economic indicators a year hence. About half the group weighs in on such metrics as the U.S. 10-year yield, the value of the S&P 500, the jobless rate, the consumer price index and more.
So what did campers predict for the next 12 months at the July 31-Aug. 3 event?
"The story is the economy is going to go faster, the unemployment rate is going to come down, and the Fed will be closer to raising rates — or will already be raising them," said Stu Hoffman, chief economist with PNC Financial Services and the coordinator of the survey for the past several years.
But that's the aggregate overview. IBD sat down with the three top forecasters of 2013's camp to ask their personal predictions for the coming year — and got three very different takes.
2013's No. 1 forecaster was Michael Drury, chief economist at Memphis-based McVean Trading & Investments, which specializes in agriculture futures. Drury is bearish. He thinks the bond market's recent lows have been signalling weakness.
"I don't think rates are zero because of the Fed, I think it's because of the invisible hand," he said. "I think we're closer to the beginning of the next recession than the start of a takeoff."
No. 2 was David Kotok himself. He is most concerned about volatility in the year ahead as the Federal Reserve normalizes after several years of the most dramatic, unconventional monetary policy in history.
"This is the year of change," Kotok said. "For the first time, markets have to say, 'What happens to this suppressed volatility when central bank policies begin to change and they don't change in a coordinated way?'"
David Berson, chief economist with Nationwide Insurance, was third in 2013's survey. Berson is the most upbeat of the top three — with some caveats. Expansions almost always end because the Fed tightens too hard in response to inflation-caused imbalances in the economy, which aren't showing up yet, he said.
"That suggests to me the expansion can go much farther until we get there. We could go another 4-5 years," Berson said.
Job gains stayed healthy in June and the unemployment rate hit a seven-year low, but workforce participation skidded and wage growth remained anemic, muddling views of the labor market for a central bank seeking clarity. Employers added 223,000 jobs, the Labor Department said Thursday, about as ...
Employers created 223,000 jobs in June, in line with economists' forecasts, but two closely watched sectors were brighter than expected. Extraction, a category used as a proxy for energy-related work, ticked up by 1,000, the second-straight monthly gain after several months of losses caused by the ...
Job gains are muted Employers added 223,000 jobs in June, about what economists had expected, but with weak underlying details. Participation plunged, and wage growth took a step back. The jobless rate fell 2 ticks to 5.3%, a 7-year low. Factory orders fall Orders sank 1% in May, worse than the ...
Manufacturing activity accelerated in June, a key industry report showed Wednesday, bolstering the view that the economy has moved past its winter weakness and upping the ante for the Federal Reserve to start hiking interest rates as soon as September. The Institute for Supply Management's closely ...
ADP's measure of private payroll gains was stronger than expected in June. Employers added 237,000 jobs, the firm said, vs. expectations of 202,000. Small business continued to dominate hiring, marking its fifth-straight month of gains over 100,000. But the more interesting details were in the ...

Group wants song pulled due to Molly reference
On Sunday, I told readers about a drug MDMA, more commonly referred to as Molly. The rap and hip hop community has name-dropped Molly in lyrics as the drug of choice.
The drug, which is similar to Ecstasy, is dangerous because it is often cut with things such as cocaine, PCP, plant fertilizer and bath salts.
On Wednesday, a petition was started to pull Rick Ross' latest song "U.O.E.N.O." (you ain't even know it) from the radio because it condones women being forced to have sex while under the influence of the party drug.
In the rap, Ross (pictured above) says: "Put Molly all in her champagne she ain't even know it. I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain't even know it."
Sounds like rape to me, and this is insensitive to all rape survivors. In my Wednesday column I talked about how difficult it is for women to come forward after being raped. While statistics claim that about 25% of women have been raped, I believe the number is much higher. Sexual assault damages its victims physically, emotionally and psychologically.
The fact that Ross would condone sexually assaulting a woman while under the influence of a drug is terrible and it should be pulled.
Imagine the message he's sending to children who listen to him.
I want the song pulled. If you do, too, click on this link.

"I'm a builder, a fixer, and a do-it-myselfer. My favorite things in life are big tools, old wood, good pasta, and finding great materials in a dumpster. I grew up in California, and blindly moved to New York seven years ago when I was accepted into art school for sculpture. I instantly fell in love with the grungy part of Brooklyn, and within a month, we had moved into Bedstuy. I have lived in the same apartment for five years now, which has given me plenty of time to slowly "fix" a few things around the house: de-carpet stairways, tile in kitchen… you name it!" - Ariele Alasko

I am working on internal phone system software for the office I work for. We are hapily using Twilio to manage our phone tree - but would like to create a better way to monitor incoming calls and forward calls once the caller has been connected with one of our guys.
We are in a mixed (Windows and Mac) environment, so I have elected to run with Python to write the desktop portion of this application. I am (for the most part) still in the Pen-and-Paper stage of this project. I have some Python/TKinter experience, and some TCP Socket experience (using CakePHP, not Python) and have a few questions about how to manage packet transfers between our server (which is issuing the commands to Twilio) and the client app.
The client application will display the number of callers in a call queue to the user, and allow the user to accept a call on their phone, as well as send a caller back to the queue (or to another agent). Here are two ways I have considered doing this:
Method 1
The client (Python) application listens for TCP connections from our VPS. This would be the least memory intensive, but having read this post on buff-sizes, specifically
In regards to: "if you have a protocol where the incoming packet length is exactly known, it is obviously preferrable to only read "at most" what is needed for the packet you are dealing with, otherwise you could potentially eat into the next packet and that would be irritating."
This may be preferable for the application developer, but is probably inefficient for the underlying network stack. First, it ties up socket buffer space that can be used for additional network I/Os. Second, each recv() you make means dipping into a system call/kernel space and there is a performance penalty for the transition. It is always preferable to get as much data as you can out of kernel space and into user space with as few system calls as possible and do your message parsing there. This adds more complexity to the application code and message handling but is probably the most efficient.
I am really conflicted - is eating the next packet a thing? How can I anticipate the buff size or do I need to?
Method 2
I could just have the application query for a "state of the union" every
n seconds. But that seems wasteful.
What's the right answer. Is there something I am missing?

By now it's become foolish to doubt anything Vikings running back Adrian Peterson puts his mind to, but his target date to eclipse Emmitt Smith's rushing record is a stretch even for him. Peterson, in an interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune, predicted he will top Smith's career rushing record of 18,355 yards in Week 17 of the 2017 season. That means Peterson needs to average 120.3 yards over the next 79 games (9,506 yards total) to supplant the Cowboys legend as the NFL's all-time leading rusher. Peterson admitted that's a lofty goal. "That's pushing it, huh?" Peterson told the Star Tribune. "But hey, pushing it is the only way to do it. You know it." Peterson has rushed for 8,849 yards in seven seasons, which puts him not even halfway to Smith's record. He's on a pace, barring injury, to pass Smith in Week 4 of the 2019 season. Breaking the record two years early would be a truly superhuman feat. But then again, this is the guy who came nine yards short of breaking Eri...

Help save Tufty… eat a grey squirrel
Ever considered squirrel for dinner?
You may find the whole idea gross. But if you think about it, rabbit's just another member of the rodent family, but it's generally accepted as fit fare for the dining-table – even if it's not as common as it used to be. The Romans used to eat one particular species of dormouse (which they introduced into the UK – it's known, predictably, as the edible dormouse). So why not squirrel?
The idea of eating squirrel isn't particularly new, and indeed is well established in certain parts of the world. In the eastern United States, which is the native habitat of the grey squirrel, it's quite common for hunters to go out looking for squirrels for the pot.
One way of catching them is by going squirrel fishing! The "fisherman" ties a peanut or other similar bait to a line, then attempts to lift the squirrel into the air while it's busy trying to get the nut off the line. However, this seems to be a sport rather than a means of obtaining food – it seems to have started on a university campus in the US, although no-one's quite sure which; several different institutions have laid claim to be the originators. Those wacky students, eh? (It didn't stop The Times listing it as one of their top ten ways of foraging for free food, though.)
More seriously, there's been an increase in efforts to cull the population of grey squirrels in the UK in recent years, prompted largely by efforts to protect the threatened native red squirrel. (Although grey squirrels don't actually fight red squirrels directly, they're more effective competitors for food in the same habitats – which themselves are becoming scarce as a result of human activity – and have thus forced red squirrels into decline.)
The Red Squirrel Protection Partnership in the North of England decided in 2007 that simply disposing of thousands of grey squirrel carcases after they'd been caught and killed was a waste of good food. So they approached various restaurants and butchers in the area to see if they'd be willing to sell them. One restaurant in Crook near Windermere decided to prepare them in the style of crispy aromatic duck and serve them as free appetisers, to familiarise people with the idea of eating squirrel. And a game shop in Corbridge sold over 1,000 squirrels in the first half of 2008, at £3.50 a throw.
So squirrel's sudden popularity is largely for ecological reasons. But protecting the red squirrel is just one aspect of this. There's also a growing willingness to accept roadkill as a source of food. Some people who refuse on principle to eat meat from animals that have been reared for slaughter are perfectly willing to eat roadkill. Others eat it on the principle of "Waste not, want not".
BBC Three even broadcast a series called Roadkill Chef, presented by expert forager Fergus Drennan, in January 2007. And Channel 4's The Wild Gourmets, Tommi Miers and Guy Grieve, came up with a Peking squirrel recipe during their visit to Cumbria in October of that year. (Wonder if that's where the Crook restaurant got the idea from?)
(Mind you, the BBC aren't always so keen on exotic meat sources. The former presenter of One Man And His Dog, Robin Page, was invited to return to the BBC to discuss his thoughts on controlling grey squirrels. Someone had the bright idea that Page should cook some grey squirrel on the programme, but it wasn't readily available in the shops. By the time he had managed to get a gamekeeper friend to kill three, a BBC executive had stamped on the idea on the grounds that "squirrels cannot be seen to lose their lives for an entertainment programme". Hmm… anyone fancy telling Gordon Ramsay that his shows have to be vegetarian from now on?)
In fact, a bit of a bandwagon effect has built up over the last couple of years. Even mainstream chefs are getting into squirrel; Marco Pierre White has come up with a recipe for squirrel with walnuts. But it's generally agreed that there's not much eating on them – apart from the back legs – so you'll need several squirrels if you're feeding more than two people with small appetites.
It's surprisingly easy to find recipes for squirrel on the Internet. Many of them are American, as you'd expect; there's even a recipe called Brunswick stew which has squirrel as its basis. But there are all sorts of other ideas out there. Besides the CAD idea mentioned above, there's barbecued squirrel, tandoori squirrel, squirrel fricassée, squirrel popcorn; you name it.
Opinions vary on the taste. Descriptions we've heard have likened it to wild boar, rabbit, duck, something between duck and lamb…
…and guess what? A lot of people suggest that squirrel tastes just like chicken. (Sigh…)

Diane Kruger (born 15 July 1976) is a German actress and former fashion model. She is known for roles such as Helen in Troy, Dr. Abigail Chase in National Treasure and its sequel, Bridget von Hammersmark in Inglourious Basterds, Anna in Mr. Nobody, and Gina in Unknown.
She was born as Diane Heidkrüger in Algermissen, Germany, near Hildesheim, the daughter of a computer specialist Hans-Heinrich Heidkrüger, and his wife, Maria-Theresa, a bank employee. She was raised Roman Catholic and attended Catholic school.
She was raised in Germany with her younger brother, Stefan. Her mother sent her to student exchange programs when she was a teenager to improve her English. As a child, Kruger wanted to become a ballerina and successfully auditioned for the Royal Ballet School in London. However, after an injury ended her ballet career prematurely, Kruger moved to Paris and turned her energy toward modeling and learning French.
Kruger soon became interested in acting and took lessons at the Cours Florent. She landed some small appearances in several French films. She made her onscreen debut in 2002, opposite Dennis Hopper and Christopher Lambert in The Piano Player, a TV-movie by Jean-Pierre Roux. Her first major role was the same year when she starred in her then husband's directorial debut Mon Idole.

"It is harder for us to be nice to kids"
When I look back over my notebooks and journals from the past 21 years there are plenty of things I regret. What I do not regret were the times we educators chose to be kind to a kid. The times when we gave a child a second–and then third and fourth chance. The times we decided to let a kid go on a field trip, ignoring some misdeed that might have excluded him from the trip so that a child who had never been further than the county line could see the world writ large. You know the drill."School should be a place for all sorts of kindnesses." Retiring school principal George Wood talks about what should be the most important part of school and why it has become difficult to achieve.

"Is the School House the Proper Place to Teach Raw Sex?" Phrasing!!
"Today, most American adults can call up some memory of sex ed in their school, whether it was watching corny menstruation movies or seeing their school nurse demonstrate putting a condom on a banana.

Screening films at school to teach kids how babies are made has always been a touchy issue, particularly for people who fear such knowledge will steer their children toward sexual behavior. But sex education actually has its roots in moralizing: American sex-ed films emerged from concerns that social morals and the family structure were breaking down." — Slut-Shaming, Eugenics, and Donald Duck: The Scandalous History of Sex-Ed Movies

The school in Auckland with a radical 'no rules' policy (12:00; 2014) [via] has a little in common with the school in Framingham with a radical 'no curriculum' policy (9:13; 2009) [previously], which has a little in common with the self-directed IT school in Paris for ages 18 to 30 (2:13; 2014), which takes some inspiration from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (excerpt, 12:24; 1981).
The Man Who Built New York City's Schools
In an unmarked grave in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx lies the five-foot-seven-inch body of a man responsible for bringing untold amounts of sunshine to New York City's youth. During his eighteen-year tenure as Superintendent of School Buildings for the New York City Board of Education, Snyder built public schools with windows that made up nearly sixty percent of the buildings' facades, much of the remaining space covered in lavish ornamentation. "There is not a dark corner in the whole structure," social reformer Jacob Riis wrote of Snyder's design in his seminal 1902 text "The Battle With the Slum." "Literally, he found barracks where he is leaving palaces to the people...I cannot see how it is possible to come nearer perfection in the building of a public school."

There would be no timetable, no compulsory lessons, no uniform, no hierarchy. Teachers would be called by their first names. The children would make up the rules and decide what they wanted to learn.
There'd be no fees, fixed hours, term times or holidays. They were to be schools without walls - and open whenever the community wanted them.
Many of them quickly folded - with some communities not receptive to the idea of educational anarchy. But a few put down solid roots.

Vaccination map of Los Angeles schools
The Hollywood Reporter gathered vaccination rates from Los Angeles preschools and elementary schools, for the 2013-2014 academic year. They created an interactive map that allows you to click on schools and see what percentage of preschoolers and kindergarteners got the DTaP and MMR vaccinations, and what percentage of families opted out using a Personal Belief Exemption form. Los Angeles is currently in the middle of a Pertussis (Whooping Cough) outbreak, and officials are concerned that it will spread further as herd immunity is threatened by low rates of vaccination.
The Insurrectionist
Patrick McLaw, under the pen name "Dr. K. S. Voltaer', wrote a novel about a school shooting in the year 2902. However, Mr. McLaw is a 23-year-old middle-school teacher in Cambridge, Maryland. Because of the content of his sf novels, he has just been placed on administrative leave, according to Dorchester County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Henry Wagner as quoted in Raw Story. Mr. McLaw was taken for an 'emergency' medical exam, and the police were unwilling to disclose his location to local TV news. They would say he is not on the Delmarva peninsula. An article in Reason is characterizing the exam as a "mandatory psych eval". According to Reason, Mr. McLaw has yet to be charged with any crime. He teaches eighth-grade language arts.

But what's most amazing about the school, a claim the founders make which was backed up by my brief observations, my conversations with students, and the written recollections of alumni, is that the school has taken the angst out of education. Students like going there, and they like their teachers. Because they are never made to take a class they don't like, they don't rue learning. They don't hate homework because they don't have homework. School causes no fights with their parents." (previously-er) [more inside]

The Course of Their Lives. While much in medicine has changed over the last century, the defining course of a first year medical student's education is still 'Gross Anatomy.' This is their hands-on tour of a donated cadaver -- an actual human body -- and is an experience which cannot be replicated by computer models. When Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Mark Johnson came up with the idea of following a med school gross anatomy class for a feature story, his editor challenged him to make it different. So he chose to intertwine the students' stories with that of Geraldine 'Nana' Fotsch, a living future donor, as sort of a stand-in for the cadaver. (Via.

Ferguson's formula
Before retiring in May 2013, Sir Alex Ferguson spent 26 seasons as the manager of Manchester United, the English football (soccer) club that ranks among the most successful and valuable franchises in sports. During that time the club won 13 English league titles along with 25 other domestic and international trophies—giving him an overall haul nearly double that of the next-most-successful English club manager. In 2012 Harvard Business School professor Anita Elberse had a unique opportunity to examine Ferguson's management approach and developed an HBS case study around it. Now she and Ferguson have collaborated on an analysis of his enormously successful methods.
No Free Lunch
A New Jersey school district chooses to withhold lunch from kids whose parents forgot to refill their lunch accounts. There has been a great deal of controversy regarding the school districts decision to withhold food from children who don't have money on their school account. However, it should be noted that the article mentions: "Part of the reason we're doing this is to help hold parents accountable." Dr. Ronald Taylor, the Superintendent, says that the district will warn parents when their account is down to five dollars, which is about three days before it's empty.
What if the real problem is school itself?
School is a prison - and damaging our kids - We're not surprised that learning is unpleasant. We think of it as bad-tasting medicine, tough to swallow but good for children in the long run. Some people even think that the very unpleasantness of school is good for children, so they will learn to tolerate unpleasantness, because life after school is unpleasant. Perhaps this sad view of life derives from schooling.

[Hide abstract]
Objective: To determine the risk factors of symptomatic knee, hand, and hip osteoarthritis among people aged ≥40 years in a suburban area of İzmir City, Turkey Material and Methods: A total of 522 subjects were randomly chosen with systematic randomization. All subjects fulfilled a detailed survey and had a physical examination. Any subject who met at least one of the ACR clinical criteria for knee/hand/hip osteoarthritis (OA) was considered as screening positive and was invited for x-rays. Results: We report that the symptomatic knee, hand, and hip osteoarthritis prevalence correspondingly increases with age. Symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (SKO) has a positive correlation with female gender (OR: 26.5, 95% CI: 7.6-92.3), obesity, morbid obesity (OR:5.8, 95% CI:2.1- 16.2), and regular prayer habit (namaz) (OR:2.6, 95% CI: 1.1-6.2). SKO and symptomatic hand osteoarthritis (SHaO) prevalence numbers are higher in the postmenopausal female group than premenopausal women (p<0.05). We determined that poorly educated people had a 1.5-times higher risk for developing SKO (p=0.649). Non-smokers had 1.5 times the risk of smokers for developing OA. Subjects lacking symptomatic knee OA were found to be significantly more active than the other groups. Conclusion: Risk factors for development of symptomatic knee, hand, and hip osteoarthritis were determined as female gender, advanced age, obesity, and being in postmenopausal stage. Low education level, being a non-smoker, having a regular prayer habit, climbing stairs, being a worker, and sedentary life were also risk factors for having knee osteoarthritis. It is an obvious issue that we need countrywide studies with larger populations to build a health policy for osteoarthritis. Key Words: Osteoarthritis, epidemiology, risk factors Address

This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of symptomatic knee, hand and hip osteoarthritis among men and women at or over 40 years of age, living in the Bayraklı Adalet district of İzmir. The study included a sample size of 522 people calculated using the Epi Info™ software. Demographic information, weight, height and body mass index were recorded. Patients were physically examined for evidence of osteoarthritis, such as joint tenderness, range of motion deficiency, deformity, 1st carpometacarpal joint involvement and Heberden's and/or Bouchard's nodes. One hundred and ninety-one individuals were suspected of having knee/hand/hip osteoarthritis and 152 of these were called in for radiographs. The prevalence of symptomatic knee, hand and hip osteoarthritis of adults aged ≥40 years was 20.9%, 2.8% and 1.0%, respectively. Symptomatic knee and hand osteoarthritis was significantly higher among women (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between two genders regarding symptomatic hip osteoarthritis. Knee osteoarthritis is frequent in the region in which the study was conducted. An effective health policy regarding osteoarthritis can be created following further studies with larger samples representing the entire country.

In this study, the bladder emptying methods at different stages of the post-stroke period along with the effects of demographic and clinical parameters on spontaneous voiding frequency were investigated. The frequencies of bladder emptying methods at admission to the rehabilitation clinic, after neurourological and urodynamic assessment and at home after discharge were spontaneous voiding (SV) 51/99 (51.5 %), 62/99 (62.6 %), 73/99 (73.7 %), emptying without a urinary catheter + an external collector system (EWUC + ECS) 24/99 (24.2 %), 18/99 (18.2 %), 17/99 (17.2 %), intermittent catheterization (IC) 1/99 (1.0 %), 15/99 (15.2 %), 6/99 (6.1 %), indwelling urethral catheter (IUC) 23/99 (23.2 %), 4/99 (4.0 %) and 3/99 (3.0 %), respectively. Lower spontaneous voiding frequencies were observed in single-divorced and geriatric individuals (p < 0.05). The number of patients who modified the method at home was 2/62 for SV, 5/18 for EWUC + ECS, 9/15 for IC, and 2/4 for IUC. The majority of stroke patients were able to void spontaneously and the spontaneous voiding frequency increased at follow-up. The spontaneous voiding frequency was low in geriatric and single-divorced subgroups. The method in which the most changes occurred was IC.

This study compares the quality of life (QoL) and psychological status of mothers of children with cancer with those of mothers of children without cancer. One hundred hospitalized children and their mothers, as primary caregivers, were included in this study. Fifty mothers with healthy children were enrolled as the control group. A children and mother query form was used to obtain demographical data. The disease histories were extracted from patient records. QoL was measured with the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) in order to assess the psychological symptoms of the mothers in the study and in the control groups. The mean age of the caregivers was 35.93 ± 8.27 years, whereas the mean age of the mothers in the control group was 39.72 ± 6.88 years. The general health, vitality, social functioning, and mental health scores from the SF-36 and the STAI-trait scores were significantly poorer among the mothers of children with cancer as compared with the scores of the mothers of children without cancer (P < .05). Significant negative correlations were found between the age of the children, the age at diagnosis, and the SF-36 subscores for physical functioning, physical role, and pain (P < .05). The mothers of children with cancer, who require hospital care, have poorer QoL and psychological health than the mothers of healthy children. These results suggest that the current system for treating cancer in Turkish children should also include close monitoring of the care-giving mothers' QoL and psychological health.

MS patients frequently present with urinary system symptoms, which have a negative effect on the quality life. The aim of our study was to demonstrate the validity and reliability of the Turkish King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) in MS patients. The study included 37 patients. For analysis of test-retest reliability, the Turkish version of the KHQ developed and the "translation-back translation" method was performed. To assess the validity of these results, Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Scale (MQoL-54) and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) were used. The internal consistency (intra-class correlation coefficient: 0.59-0.94) and test-retest reliability (Cronbach's α-score 0.59-0.94) of KHQ were found to be high (p < 0.05). A significant correlation was detected between most of the KHQ subscores and the physical and mental MQoL-54 and EDSS (total and bowel/bladder, p < 0.05) subscores. The KHQ may be used to determine the effect of incontinence on the quality of life for MS patients.

There are very few randomized controlled studies on exercise in cancer patients. Consequently, there are no guidelines available with regard to the exercises that can be recommended and difficulties are encountered in the clinical practice as to which exercise is more suitable to the patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of pilates exercises on physical performance, flexibility, fatigue, depression and quality of life in women who had been treated for breast cancer. Randomized controlled trial. Out patient group, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Medical Oncology Department, University Hospital. Fifty-two patients with breast cancer were divided into either pilates exercise (group 1) and control group (group 2). Patients in Group 1 performed pilates and home exercises and patients in group 2 performed only home exercises. Pilates exercise sessions were performed three times a week for a period of eight weeks in the rehabilitation unit. Subjects were assessed before and after rehabilitation program, with respect to, 6-min walk test (6MWT), modified sit and reach test, Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), Beck Depression Index (BDI) and the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) and EORTC QLQ BR23. After the exercise program, improvements were observed in Group 1 in 6-minute walk test, BDI, EORTC QLQ-C30 functional, and EORTC QLQ-C30 BR23 functional scores (P<0.05). In contrast, no significant improvement was observed in Group 2 after the exercise program in any of parameters in comparison to the pre-exercise period (P>0.05). When the two exercise groups were compared, there were significant differences in 6MWT in pilates-exercise group (P<0.05). Pilates exercises are effective and safe in female breast cancer patients. There is a need for further studies so that its effect can be confirmed. This study addressed the effects of pilates exercise, as a new approach, on functional capacity, fatigue, depression and quality of life in breast cancer patients in whom there are doubts regarding the efficacy and usefulness of the exercise.

Incontinence is one of the most frequently encountered problems in multiple sclerosis (MS), and it has a negative effect on the daily lives of patients. Therefore, it is important to investigate this complaint and start appropriate treatment early. The aim of our study was to demonstrate the validity and reliability of the Turkish-language Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (I-QOL) in patients with MS. We included 37 patients with MS in this study. For analysis of test-retest reliability, we administered the Turkish-language version of I-QOL developed by a "translation-back translation" method to patients on the day of admission and 1 week after admission. To assess validity, we also evaluated patients with the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Scale (MQOL-54) and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). We calculated the intraclass correlation coefficient of the I-QOL (total and all subscores) as 0.88 to 0.91 and the Cronbach alpha score as 0.88 to 0.91 (p < 0.05). We found a significant correlation among all subscores of I-QOL and physical and mental subscores of MQOL-54 and EDSS (p < 0.05). Our study has demonstrated the internal consistency and reliability of the I-QOL in the Turkish language in patients with MS.
