Or, like residents of Manchester, New Hampshire, are you more likely sexually unsatisfied? A new survey from Men’s Health magazine released a new list this week of “sexually satisfied” cities, as well as those who fare not so well. They looked at a number of statistical factors to arrive at these admittedly arbitrary distinctions — birth rates (I suppose under the assumption that those cities with higher birth rates have a higher rate of sexual activity as well), sales of sex toys and condoms, and rates of sexually transmitted diseases. One could certainly argue with these choices. But without further ado, we bring you the sexually most satisfied cities in the U.S.: Most sexually satisfied cities in t...

And apparently we’re making fewer babies –- admissions to neonatal intensive care units are down. This is a problem. For large tertiary medical centers and hospitals specializing in maternal-child health, babies are the critical customers of a healthy operation. A few thoughts on what to look for (or dare I say, what to “expect”) with fewer ba...

Bucking the trend in many other wealthy industrialized nations, the United States seems to be experiencing a baby boomlet, reporting the largest number of children born in 45 years.The nearly 4.3 million births in 2006 were mostly due to a bigger population, especially a growing number of Hispanics. That group accounted for nearly one-quarter of all U.S. births. But non-Hispanic white women and other racial and ethnic groups were having more babies, too.An Associated Press review of birth numbers dating to 1909 found the total number of U.S. births was the highest since 1961, near the end of the baby boom. An examination of global data also shows that the United States has a higher fertility rate than every country in continental Europe, as well as A...

It is natural, and appropriate, for them to ask what their chances will be for pregnancy after a tubal reversal procedure performed by Dr. Berger. This important question about the anticipated [...] (Source: Tubal Reversal Blog) Tubal Reversal Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1909220 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 21:38:03 +0100 1909220 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1909238&cid=t_208875_177_f&fid=38133&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FTubalReversalBlog%2F%7E3%2F380926449%2Ftubal-reversal-informed-consent.html What Is Informed Consent? Informed consent means that a person has access to and understands all relevant information about a medical or surgical treatment necessary to make an informed decision about it. In the case of tubal ligation reversal, informed consent means that a person understands how it the surgery is performed, the alternative treatment of [...] (Source: Tubal Reversal Blog) Tubal Reversal Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1909238 Sun, 09 Dec 2007 23:36:57 +0100 1909238
