Six-Minute Walk Test Enhanced by Mobile Telemetric Cardiopulmonary Monitoring.

Background: The 6-min walk test (6MWT) is frequently used to assess overall cardiopulmonary fitness and to predict outcome, but it yields little diagnostic information. Portable telemetric devices all...

Comparison of the cough stress test and 24-h pad test in the assessment of stress urinary incontinence.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The 24-h pad test and cough stress test are commonly used to assess stress urinary incontinence; however, no comparative data are available. The coug...
