Menopause is a significant health event that affects a large portion of the global female population, necessitating greater awareness and research to enhance women's health and quality of life during this stage. The purpose of this study was to identify validated menopause symptom checklists and map those to the Omaha System signs/symptoms terms. The authors used a consensus approach to identify menopause symptoms from six evidence-based checklists and map them to Omaha System signs and symptoms. The team mapped each symptom if it matched exactly (full match) with the Omaha System term or had a similar, although not identical, meaning (partial match). The mapping included more than 293 source text menopause symptoms to the Omaha System problems and signs/symptoms resulting in a standardized list of 72 signs/symptoms for 21 problems. Of these 72, 70 (97.2%) signs/symptoms were a full match at the problem level, and 67 (93.1%) signs/symptoms were a full or partial match at the signs/symptoms level. This study lays the groundwork for creating a more standardized, data-driven approach, for tracking menopause symptoms. Clinicians and researchers can use this checklist to assess, track, and evaluate symptoms, enabling the development of personalized treatment approaches for menopause.
Flushing was being utilized as an internal corrosion mitigation in relief lines of crude pipeline facilities; however, the efficacy of flushing for removing settled bottoms, sediment, and water in the relief piping was unknown. A project was developed to utilize permanently installed ultrasonic sensors to characterize what occurs during a flush event and whether that event was effective at removing deposits and reducing corrosion rates. Ultrasonics are normally utilized for measuring wall thickness in steel pipe, but sound waves travel beyond the back wall of the steel. Differences in the ultrasonic wave forms are observable in pipes filled with varying amounts of water, oil, and sediment. Waveforms of different conditions of water, oil, and sludge were gathered in the lab and used to train an artificial intelligence (AI) model which was utilized to interpret waveforms of the permanently installed sensors in the field before, during, and after flush events.

The storage and evacuation of urine depend on the coordinated action of the urinary bladder, the bladder neck, the urethra, and the urethral sphincter. The neural circuitry that controls micturition is complex and involves pathways at many levels of the brain, the spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system. This chapter reviews the central and peripheral nervous structures involved in the control of micturition, as well as the pathologies that affect micturition in humans.
