We conclude that both the home exercises plus intravaginal P-BF and home exercises plus perineal EMG-BF are superior to home exercises in women with SUI. Intravaginal P-BF and perineal EMG-BF were similarly effective and they can be used as their alternatives.

Pulmonary rehabilitation plays important role in patients with lung diseases, and it is applied in acute, subacute, and chronic stages of the disease. Bibliometrics, which refers to the application of quantitative and statistical methods to analyze scientific publications on a specific topic, authors, journals, citation scores, and countries. Web of Science (WOS) search engine the selected keywords were those related to "pulmonary'' and "rehabilitation" was used. Using the search query and 3,582 different types of results were gained and they were analyzed according to document types and after 20,645 entries, the number of journal articles was 1,493. Retrieved data were analyzed to present various bibliometric indicators while maps were visualized using the WOS viewer technique. The Hirsch (h) index and the impact factor (IF) of the publishing journal were used. Bibliometric overview of the literature on "pulmonary" and" rehabilitation" between 1970 -2021 was given. The publications gained momentum after 2013. Most publications belong to 2020. In terms of the type of publications, meeting constitutes 80% of the publications published as abstracts and articles. About half of the published research articles are about the respiratory system and 11% of them are related to rehabilitation. The most frequent country was USA with 19.9 % of articles and England is the second most frequent country. In terms of the most cited country, the USA ranks first with 8238 citations. England is in second place with 5940 citations. Publications on "pulmonary" and "rehabilitation" have been increasing and growing rapidly in the past decade. The results can be used as context for analyzing broadscale strengths and gaps in the current state of evidence in a field and for informing a comprehensive strategic plan for further advancing the field and more countries should be encouraged to participate in the studies on this subject.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare kinesiophobia, fatigue, physical activity, and quality of life (QoL) between the patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in remission and a healthy population. Patients and methods: The prospective controlled study included 45 female patients (mean age: 54.22±8.2 year; range, 37 to 67 year) with a diagnosis of RA determined to be in remission according to the Disease Activity Score in 28 Joints (DAS28) being ≤2.6 between January 2022 and February 2022. As a control group, 45 female healthy volunteers (mean age: 52.2±8.2 year; range, 34 to 70 year) of similar age were evaluated. The QoL, disease activity, pain, kinesiophobia, fatigue severity, and physical activity were assessed using the Health Assessment Questionnaire, DAS28, Visual Analog Scale, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, Fatigue Severity Scale, and International Physical Activity Questionnaire, respectively. Results: There was no significant difference between the groups in demographic data. A statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of pain, C-reactive protein level, fatigue, kinesiophobia, QoL, and total, high, and moderate physical activity scores (p<0.001). Among the RA patients in remission, there was a significant correlation between kinesiophobia and moderate physical activity and QoL, as well as between fatigue and high physical activity (p<0.05). Conclusion: Patient education and multidisciplinary approach strategies should be developed to increase the QoL and physical activity and reduce kinesiophobia in RA patients in remission since there may be a decrease in physical activity due to kinesiophobia, fatigue, and fear of movement in this patient group compared to the healthy population, impairing their QoL.

Introduction and hypothesisWe aimed to reveal the effectiveness of the combination of behavioral therapy (BT), drug therapy, and pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in patients with the diagnosis of overactive bladder (OAB) who did not respond to drug therapy. Methods Seventy female patients aged between 18 and 65 years diagnosed with wet-type OAB, who did not respond to drug therapy, were included in our study, which was planned as a prospective randomized controlled trial. The patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups. BT and a combination of anticholinergic + beta3-agonist was implemented in the control group for 12 weeks. BT and PFMT were applied with a combination of anticholinergic + beta3-agonist in the active therapy group for 12 weeks. Post-treatment changes in OAB, ICIQ-SF scores, and frequency and nocturia were compared. ResultsThe age and BMI averages of the groups were similar (p>0.01). After the treatment, no significant decrease was observed in OAB scores in the control group (p = 0.06), but a significant decrease was observed in the active therapy group (p<0.01). The mean ICIQ-SF scores and the number of nocturia were found to decrease in both groups after 12 weeks of treatment (p<0.01). There was no significant decrease in frequency in the control group (p = 0.054). It regressed significantly in the active therapy group (p<0.01). After the treatment, 3 of 30 the patients in control group (10%) and 11 of the 32 patients in the active therapy group (34.3%) said that their complaints had regressed and that they were pleased with their current situation. Although after the treatment, 4 patients in the control group were dry (13.3%), 10 patients in the active therapy group were dry (31.25%). Conclusions We demonstrated that drug therapy, BT, and PFMT, which are recommended in the first-line treatment of OAB reduce the need for invasive treatments when they are well explained to the patients and combined.

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the relationship between Type D personality, depression, perceived social support, and disease activity in women with fibromyalgia (FM). Design and Methods One hundred and forty women applied to the physical medicine rehabilitation outpatient clinic between October 2019 and February 2020 who also had been diagnosed with FM were recruited. Age, occupation, marital status, chronic diseases, body mass index, duration of FM, smoking and alcohol use, sleep patterns, difficulty with daily work and self‐care, physical therapy, and rehabilitation status were all recorded as demographic data of subjects. All patients participating in the study were evaluated with a Type D Personality Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Findings It has been determined that more than half of the women diagnosed with FM had the disease for more than 2 years, the average age was 46, 70% of patients were 40 years or older, more than half were overweight or obese and 63.6% had Type D personality. Eighty‐nine women diagnosed with FM had a Type D personality and a significant correlation was found between Type D personality and depression, VAS, FIQ, and the subparameters of MSPSS. Practical Implications The determination of a relationship between the Type D personality and depression, VAS, FIQ, and MSPSS in women with FM plays a very important role in the care of FM in terms of treatment and prognosis and it can be said that determining the personality traits of such patients may be beneficial for clinicians.
