Determinants of demand: method selection and provider preference among us women seeking abortion services.
discuss this article
CONCLUSIONS: Expanding provider networks via the private sector is unlikely to be a panacea. In addition to these efforts, more attention may need to be paid to addressing logistic barriers to access. Physicians offering abortion services need to let their patients know they offer such services prior to their patients' need for them. Questions remain regarding the information being circulated about medication abortion.

DISCUSSION: In this sample of women with epilepsy about half reported prior pregnancies; 50% were unplanned. Of those using contraception, only 53% used a highly effective method.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite high reported acceptability and few problems with the products, the participants reported only moderate product adherence levels. Consistent use of condoms and consistent use of products were strongly associated. If observed in other studies, this may bias the estimation of product effectiveness in future trials of female-controlled methods.

CONCLUSIONS: Subendometrial-myometrial contractility midway through the menstrual cycle had been abolished in patients with a copper-releasing IUD. The loss of motility may inhibit sperm transport from the cervix to the oviduct and account for at least part of the contraceptive effect of these devices.

Distribution of a vaginal gel (invisible condom(r)) before, during and after simulated sexual intercourse and its persistence when delivered by two different vaginal applicators: a magnetic resonance imaging study.
discuss this article
CONCLUSION: Using the new PVA, the Invisible Condom(R) covered the vaginal/cervical mucosae before and during simulated intercourse, offering immediate protection, whereas only the cervical mucosa was covered using the CA. Forty percent of the gel persisted mostly in the upper vaginal/cervical area at 24 h following its administration with the CA, while only 5% of the gel was left using the PVA. The new applicator, with its unique design, ensures an even and immediate coating lasting throughout the first 6 h and could prevent potential microbicide vaginal toxicity at 24 h.

A first in fertility research: the use of dna fingerprinting to identify viable embryos
discuss this article
Fertility researchers have used DNA fingerprinting for the first time to identify which embryos have implanted after in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and developed successfully to result in the births of healthy babies. The technique, combined with sampling cells from blastocysts (the very early embryo) before implantation in the womb, opens the way to pin-pointing a handful of genes that could be used to identify those blastocysts most likely to result in a successful pregnancy.
