Intrauterine Drug Delivery Systems

130
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...

Birth 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...

Uterine Tubes

3.6K
The uterine or fallopian tubes function as the conduit through which oocytes travel from the ovaries to the uterus. Each fallopian tube measures approximately 10 to 13 cm long and is anatomically divided into the infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus, and interstitial part (or intramural segment). The infundibulum is characterized by its funnel shape and features extensions called fimbriae which reach towards the peritoneal cavity. These fimbriae play a critical role during ovulation as they extend...

Current Trends in Nursing II

3.7K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The rate of cerclage procedures for preventing preterm birth significantly decreased between 1998 and 2013. This decline in history-indicated cerclage (HIC) and ultrasound-indicated cerclage (UIC) may reflect updated clinical evidence.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Perinatal Research

Background:

  • Cervical cerclage is a procedure to prevent preterm birth.
  • Recent clinical trials have influenced indications for cerclage placement.
  • Evaluating trends in cerclage utilization is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess changes in the utilization of cerclage procedures over a 16-year period.
  • To compare cerclage rates before and after 2005, coinciding with updated evidence.
  • To analyze trends in history-indicated cerclage (HIC) and ultrasound-indicated cerclage (UIC).

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of singleton gestations undergoing cerclage.
  • Data collected from 1998 to 2013 at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
  • Exclusion of physical examination-indicated and transabdominal cerclage.

Main Results:

  • A total of 328 women (1.0%) received HIC or UIC cerclage.
  • Overall cerclage rate decreased from 1.4% (1998-2005) to 0.6% (2006-2013).
  • Significant declines observed in both HIC (0.8% to 0.2%) and UIC (0.6% to 0.3%) rates.

Conclusions:

  • The rate of HIC and UIC cerclage significantly declined over 16 years.
  • The observed decrease in cerclage utilization may be attributed to recent clinical evidence.
  • This trend suggests a more selective approach to cerclage candidacy.
