Un gynécologue nommé Kegel a créé dans les années 1940 des exercices visant à renforcer le plancher pelvien afin que celui-ci soutienne mieux la vessie et le col vésical. Autrefois, les femmes faisaient ces exercices après un accouchement pour renforcer leur plancher pelvien et éviter les fuites accidentelles d’urine causées par la toux, le rire ou les éternuements. Toutefois, avec le temps, on a découvert que le renforcement du plancher pelvien peut réduire l'irritabilité de la vessie et servir à supprimer l'urgence d’aller aux toilettes chez les hommes et les femmes. Les exercices de Kegel aident aussi les hommes qui ont subi une chirurgie radicale de la prostate. 2, record 1, French, - exercice%20de%20Kegel

Intravenous immune globulin are recommended unequivocally for some diseases... Large amounts of immune globulin, such as 400 to 2000 mg/kg are proposed over a period of two to five days. The safety of this treatment, which may be introduced without any special structure, is a very interesting quality of the intravenous immune globulin therapy. However, comparative efficacy against reference therapy, surveillance for long-term positive and adverse effects and cost-effectiveness should be carried out. 1, record 2, English, - reference%20treatment
