This article provides healthcare professionals with an overview of research on coercive control, a paramount concept for understanding domestic violence, primarily targeting women and children. It aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and integrate advances into professional practices and (psycho)education. To this end, we present the conceptual evolution of coercive control and the perpetrators\' behavioral patterns, their risks for victims and professionals, their devastating impact on the rights and biopsychosocial health of adult and child victims, and the challenges posed by technology, particularly generative artificial intelligence.

OBJECTIVE: Although men have a higher risk of developing a bladder cancer, women appear to have a poorer prognosis and a more advanced stage at diagnosis. We performed a retrospective population-based study on muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) using data from a cancer registry in a French department to compare overall and specific survival data according to sex.
METHODS: We included all patients living in the department of Hérault and diagnosed with MIBC between January 1, 2017 and December 12, 2019. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed on all variables of interest.
RESULTS: We included 124 women and 432 men. There was no significant difference in age or stage at diagnosis according to sex. Squamous cell carcinomas were more common in women (p<0.001). Cystectomy was more frequent in men than in women (50.7% vs 35.4%) (p=0.0039). By multivariable analysis, the independent factors for being treated by cystectomy were sex (p=0.004), age (p<0.001) and stage (p<0.001). Forty-seven percent of women received no treatment or palliative treatment. Overall mortality was 79% in women and 63.2% in men (p<0.001). The median specific survival was 10.8 months in women and 32.7 months in men (p<0.0001). By multivariable analysis, the independent risk factors for mortality were female sex (p=0.047), cT4 stage (p=0.005) and absence of cystectomy (p<0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that women are less often treated with cystectomy and have worse prognosis than men. The reasons for this gender difference are multifactorial.

Like behavioral addictions, substance misuse is a complex disorder, influenced by psychological, clinical and socio-environmental determinants. The processes that lead to addiction are common to both men and women, but patterns of use, risk behaviors and their repercussions differ. Women\'s access to care is often delayed because they are regularly subjected to stigmatization, violence, and economic or family constraints. Care must be better adapted to their specific needs.

In France, as in other countries, more and more women are affected by alcoholism. Progress needs to be made in the early detection and management of their physical and psychological dependence on alcohol, as well as their psychopathological comorbidities.

Women have difficulty seeking help for alcohol-related problems. Shame and guilt are often present, which is why the caregiver must succeed in establishing a climate of trust so that things can be said, in order to best assess the impact of consumption and find alternatives. Treatment is often multidisciplinary. The nurse\'s role is essential, not only to identify drug use, but also to provide a link between the various players involved.

At the same level of consumption as men, specific vulnerabilities often expose women to the more rapid onset of more serious illnesses (cardiovascular and liver diseases, cancers, brain and cognitive damage, sleep disorders, risk of accidents, etc.). This worrying fact is still little known by the general population. Special prevention measures are needed, such as dedicated campaigns for women, specific guidelines for lower-risk drinking, systematic early detection of risky drinking among women, and brief intervention in the event of problem drinking.

Present in all social circles with proven effects on health, alcohol is the second leading cause of avoidable death after tobacco. Like men, women can be affected by alcohol misuse, or even addiction. As the female organism is more vulnerable to the deleterious effects of alcohol, women are particularly exposed in terms of risks and complications for their physical and mental health.

BACKGROUND: Current literature highlights the difficulty in identifying an optimal educational technique for maintaining continence during cough.
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the effects of an educational intervention focusing on neutral posture during cough in women with cough-induced urinary incontinence (UI).
METHODS: This interventional study design included women with cough-induced UI. We recorded PFMs surface electromyographic (sEMG) peak activity, and assessed symptoms and quality of life (QoL) 6 weeks after the intervention. The effect of the experimental situation was estimated using a linear mixed model, sEMG measurements during coughing were indexed to each situation and adjusted to the resting value at, and a moderation analysis was used.
RESULTS: Eighteen participants were included. The measurement situations (control versus experimental) did not have a statistically significant impact on sEMG peak activity during coughing: mean effect [95% CI] 3.42 [-1.28; 7.66]. Six weeks post-intervention, participants reported statistically significant decrease in urinary symptoms (P=0.0246) and significant improvement in QoL (P=0.00776). This was also particularly marked on the dimension related to effort activities (P=0.00162).
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that a brief educational intervention focusing on neutral posture during cough, without voluntary pre-contraction of the PFMs, has no clinically significant influence on sEMG peak activity of the PFMs in women with cough-induced UI. However, this intervention can lead to a significant improvement in urinary symptoms and QoL at 6 weeks. These improvements seem to be independent of electromyographic PFMs peak activity recorded during cough. As such, our preliminary results pave the way for future research.
METHODS: NP4.

Precariousness (social, health, professional, financial, energy, etc.) affects women more than men. This has consequences for their access to healthcare. Raising awareness of gender inequalities and mobilizing actors to fight against them, make visible the levers to fight against the increase of women\'s precariousness.

There are still significant disparities between the sexes even if we are now witnessing a feminization of the urological profession. Women\'s roles in historically male-dominated services still vary widely based on inherent gender biases. Interventions to minimize the gender gap in urology should not constitute a form of positive discrimination in favor of minorities but on the contrary a form of positive action to eliminate the obstacles present that block the acceptance of women or their promotion. Recognizing the factors responsible for gender disparities remains a key step towards improving equity in still male-dominated fields such as urology.
