Introduction: There is good evidence that vaginal delivery can be associated with damage to the innervations of the pelvic floor as well as direct trauma to levator ani muscle and endo-pelvic fascia. This may result in the development of genuine stress incontinence. Postpartum stress incontinence can occur in up to 34% of women. Aim of the study was to assess the effect of postpartum women's training with reinforcement of pelvic floor muscles exercise on reduction and improvement of postpartum stress urinary incontinence

Meniscal injuries affects 60 to 70 cases per 100,000 people, In the USA, surgical procedures for the meniscus are performed on approximately 850,000 patients each year. The aims of the present study were to; assess knowledge and practice of patients undergoing knee arthroscopy for meniscal trimming, evaluate the effect of applying a rehabilitation guidelines on knowledge and practice of patients undergoing knee arthroscopy for meniscal trimming, and to examine the effect of the rehabilitation guidelines on the outcomes of patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery for meniscal trimming. Subjects and methods: A convenient sample of sixty adult patients (male and female) undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery for meniscal trimming were included in this study. The study was conducted at the orthopedic department and arthroscopic out-patient clinic at Assiut University Hospital. Two tools were utilized to fulfill the aims of this study; tool one patient's health needs assessment sheet and it was divided into three parts concerning; patient's sociodemographic characteristics, assessment of patient's physical status using the (modified Cincinnati knee rating scale), and part three was concerned with assessment of patient's knowledge and practices and mid thigh circumference along the four follow up appointments (pre, two weeks, one month and two months post arthroscopic surgery). Tool two represents the rehabilitation guidelines. Results showed that a high statistical significant difference was observed between the study and control groups collectively in all the study periods on the modified Cincinnati knee rating scale, knowledge and practice scores while there was no statistical significant difference in mid thigh circumference. Conclusion: providing written guidelines for patients was much more effective on the outcome of patients who have undergone arthroscopic knee surgery for meniscal trimming than those patients in the control group who received resident's oral instructions. Recommendations: a nurse rehabilitator is of great value in both the orthopedic department and the out-patient arthroscopy clinic and a rehabilitation instructions booklet is of great importance for the patients.

Patient satisfaction is a health care recipient's reaction to salient aspects of the context, process and result of their service experience. Meniscal injuries affects 60 to 70 cases per 100,000 people, In the USA, surgical procedures for the meniscus are performed on approximately 850,000 patients each year. The aim of the present study was to assess satisfaction of patients who will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery for meniscal trimming with medical care received in the out-patient arthroscopy clinic. Subjects and methods: A convenient sample of sixty adult patients (male and female) undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery for meniscal trimming were included in this study. The study was conducted at the arthroscopic out-patient clinic at Assiut University Hospital. One tool was utilized to fulfill the aim of this study; Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire PSQ18. Results showed that patients were highly satisfied with technical quality (65.42 %, high satisfaction), followed by satisfaction with communication with the medical team (63.83 %, moderate satisfaction). While they were least satisfied with financial aspects (36.17 %, mild satisfaction). Conclusion: patients were highly satisfied with the technical quality and least satisfied with the financial aspect.
