Summary
Wisconsin
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Health
- Public Health Policy
- Pharmacology
Background:
- The Contraceptive Equality Mandate in Wisconsin began January 1, 2010.
- This mandate requires insurance companies to cover all contraceptive methods.
- Wisconsin became the 28th state with such a mandate.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review literature on various contraceptive methods.
- To examine the impact of the Wisconsin mandate.
- To discuss emerging contraceptive technologies and regimens.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of contraceptive research.
- Analysis of data related to contraceptive use and effectiveness.
- Examination of policy implications for contraceptive access.
Main Results:
- Review includes Implanon, drospirenone oral contraceptives, and intrauterine devices.
- Evidence on depot medroxyprogesterone acetate and bone mineral density is discussed.
- New oral contraceptive pill cycling regimens are also reviewed.
Conclusions:
- The mandate aims to improve contraceptive access and choice in Wisconsin.
- Continued research is vital for understanding the effectiveness and safety of various contraceptives.
- Policy changes can significantly impact the availability and utilization of reproductive health services.

01:22Birth Control Methods
Vasectomy is a surgical form of male sterilization that involves severing and sealing the vasa deferentia, preventing sperm from mixing with semen during ejaculation. Because a vasectomy does not impact the testes' ability to produce testosterone, hormone levels, libido, and sexual function generally remain unchanged. While vasectomy is highly effective in preventing pregnancy, with a success rate near 99.85%, rare cases of recanalization (spontaneous reconnection) can occur. Although vasectomy...
01:21Intrauterine Drug Delivery Systems
Controlled-release systems for intravaginal and intrauterine drug delivery have been developed primarily for the administration of contraceptive steroid hormones. These delivery routes circumvent first-pass hepatic metabolism, thereby enhancing bioavailability and allowing for reduced systemic dosages compared to oral administration. Such approaches contribute to improved therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance, particularly in long-term contraceptive regimens.Intravaginal Drug Delivery...
01:28Infertility in Females
Female infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse and affects about 10–15% of couples worldwide. The primary cause of female infertility is ovulatory disorders, which hinder the release of eggs. These disorders can be classified as hypothalamic amenorrhea, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure, and hyperprolactinemic anovulation disorders.

01:40Hormonal Regulation
Hormones regulate a significant portion of digestion through activation of the neuroendocrine system. The neuroendocrine system of digestion contains many different hormones all with multiple functions that are both, directly and indirectly, involved in digestion.
01:33Hormonal Regulation
The renin-aldosterone system is an endocrine system which guides the renal absorption of water and electrolytes, thus managing blood pressure and osmoregulation. Activation of the system begins in the kidneys with a small cluster of cells adjacent to the afferent and efferent blood vessels of the renal corpuscle. As the nephrons are filtering blood, juxtaglomerular cells monitor blood pressure. If they detect a decrease in pressure, they release the hormone renin into the bloodstream.
01:13Bioequivalence studies: Biowaivers
In certain scenarios, in vitro dissolution tests can replace in vivo bioequivalence studies. This is particularly true when a drug product, though available in varying strengths, maintains proportional similarity in its active and inactive ingredients. In such cases, the need for in vivo bioequivalence studies for lower strength variants may be waived, provided dissolution tests and in vivo studies on the highest strength yield satisfactory results.Bioequivalence can be indicated through...
