Buyer bewareEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
As the safety and efficacy of IUDs are being appreciated by more clinicians and by more women, the demand for these devices has grown. Unfortunately, the prices of these devices have also increased over the last few years. The cost of the IUD, when amortized over the average time of utilization, is very low, but that does little to buffer women from the initial sticker shock. In times of economic hardship, effective contraception is especially important. Clearly, the women who have already invested in their devices are in a very enviable position. However, for today's patient who needs effective contraception, the upfront ...

Contraceptive considerations in obese women: Release date 1 September 2009 SFP Guideline 20091Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: Contraceptive failure is the primary cause of unintended pregnancy in the United States. With obesity rates at epidemic proportions, any association between obesity and strategies that prevent undesired pregnancies constitutes a significant public health and economic concern. Unfortunately, the relationship between obesity and contraception has not been extensively studied. Evidence from several epidemiological studies suggests that obesity may increase failure of some hormonal contraceptives resulting in unplanned pregnancies. Obesity may make procedure-dependent contraceptive methods (i.e., sterilization and in...

Nurse practitioner education: keeping the academic pipeline open to meet family planning needs in the United StatesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, family planning is one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century. Ample research shows that family planning helps women and men maintain reproductive health, allows women to avoid unintended pregnancies and assists families in determining the number, timing and spacing of their children — all of which contribute to the well-being of individuals, families and the broader society as well .

The effects of hormonal contraceptive use among women with viral hepatitis or cirrhosis of the liver: a systematic reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Data from one study suggest that COCs do not affect the course of acute hepatitis. Limited data from studies on chronic hepatitis or its sequelae suggest that COC use does not affect the rate of progression or severity of cirrhotic fibrosis, the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in women with chronic hepatitis, or the risk of liver dysfunction in hepatitis B virus carriers.

Intrauterine device insertion during the postpartum period: a systematic reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Poor to fair quality evidence from 15 articles demonstrated no increase in risk of complications among women who had an IUD inserted during the postpartum period; however, some increase in expulsion rates occurred with delayed postpartum insertion when compared to immediate insertion and with immediate insertion when compared to interval insertion. Postplacental placements during cesarean delivery are associated with lower expulsion rates than postplacental vaginal insertions, without increasing rates of postoperative complications.

In August 2008, the American Psychological Association (APA) abortion task force published a report examining the evidence for the claim that elective abortion leads to negative mental health outcomes .

Another recent review by Charles et al. examined studies on abortion and its long-term mental health outcomes, and inclu...

I read with great interest the article titled: “Young women's perceptions of pregnancy risk and use of emergency contraception: findings from a qualitative study” . The authors conducted a qualitative study through in-depth interviews of twenty 20-year-old girls from eastern Glasgow area of Scotland. The study focused on the reported use of emergency contraceptive and experiences of unprotected sex. They found that emergency contraception still remains an important backup contraceptive and should continue to be widely available, and that with high levels of unprotected sex, nonuse of emergency contraception and uninte...

Reducing the US rate of unintended pregnancy is a Healthy People 2010 goal.

Human decidual macrophages phagocytose Clostridium sordellii through Class A and B scavenger receptorsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Decidual macrophages (DMs) defend the pregnant uterus from infection. Clostridium sordellii, an anaerobic Gram positive rod, is an uncommon but highly lethal cause of endometritis after delivery or abortion. It is unknown how DMs interact with this pathogen. Class A scavenger receptors (CASRs), including SR-AI/II/III, MARCO, and SCARA-5 and class B scavenger receptors (CBSRs), including CD36 and CD163, are implicated in bacterial phagocytosis. We asked whether CASRs or CBSRs are expressed by human DMs and are involved in C. sordellii uptake. (Source: Contraception)

As the HIV pandemic has continued to spread, the number of orphans has increased. By 2006, there were a total of 48.3 million orphans in sub-Saharan Africa, a significant proportion of whom were due to HIV/AIDS. Few studies have examined the influence of orphanhood on a young person's sexual experiences. This research sought to examine the differences in the age at first sex, number of sexual partners and number of risky sexual behaviors between orphans and non orphans in Uganda.
