Birth Control Methods01:22

Birth Control Methods

5.6K
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...

Intrauterine Drug Delivery Systems01:21

Intrauterine Drug Delivery Systems

170
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...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

4.7K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Preventive Healthcare Services

2.5K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches

605
Designing a dosage regimen, which refers to the manner of drug administration, is a complex process involving the selection of drug dose, route, and frequency. This process is underpinned by pharmacokinetic parameters derived from tests and population averages. These parameters are then tailored to patient-specific variables such as diagnosis, demographics, and allergy status. Once therapy commences, therapeutic response monitoring is critical and achieved through clinical and physical...

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

6.5K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Reproductive Health
  • Contraception

Background:

  • Unintended pregnancies remain a significant public health concern in the United States.
  • Contraceptive non-use and inconsistent use are primary drivers of unintended pregnancies.
  • Barriers to initiating and effectively using contraception affect many women.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the U.S. Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use, 2013.
  • To provide evidence-based guidance for managing contraceptive use.
  • To reduce unintended pregnancies by addressing barriers to effective contraception.

Main Methods:

  • Development of clinical practice guidelines by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
  • Focus on common and complex issues in contraceptive management.
  • Provision of clear recommendations for healthcare providers.

Main Results:

  • The recommendations offer guidance to overcome barriers in contraceptive initiation and use.
  • The guidance aims to maximize contraceptive effectiveness.
  • The ultimate goal is to decrease the rate of unintended pregnancies.

Conclusions:

  • The U.S. Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use, 2013, offer a framework for improving contraceptive care.
  • Effective implementation can lead to reduced unintended pregnancy rates.
  • Addressing provider-facing barriers is crucial for enhancing contraceptive uptake and success.
