|October 2, 2015
Summary
Contraceptive coverage is low among women with chronic diseases, leading to a high risk of unintended pregnancies and adverse outcomes. Effective healthcare provider involvement is crucial to address this unmet need in high-risk populations.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Health
- Chronic Disease Management
- Public Health
Context:
- Chronic diseases affect nearly 10% of women of reproductive age.
- Contraception is often overlooked in this demographic.
- Pregnancy in women with chronic conditions significantly increases maternal and fetal mortality risks.
Purpose:
- To assess contraceptive coverage in women with chronic diseases.
- To identify prevalent contraceptive methods used.
- To determine the extent of unmet need for contraception.
Summary:
- A descriptive study surveyed 428 women (30-49 years) with chronic diseases regarding contraceptive use.
- Contraceptive coverage was 84%, with definitive methods most common (47%).
- A significant unmet need for contraception was observed (53%), with reasons including desire for pregnancy and side effects.
Impact:
- Low contraceptive coverage and high unmet demand identified in women with chronic diseases.
- Highlights the need for increased awareness and effective participation of healthcare professionals.
- Emphasizes the importance of addressing reproductive health needs in high-risk populations to reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes.

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...

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...

Managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) involves a multifaceted approach to reduce symptoms, prevent exacerbations, improve overall health status, and slow disease progression. Key strategies include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, supportive therapies, and, in some cases, surgery. Here is an overview of the primary COPD management strategies:

Continuous-release drug delivery systems offer a strategic approach to maintaining therapeutic drug levels over extended periods following oral administration. By modulating the release rate of active pharmaceutical ingredients, these systems minimize fluctuations in plasma concentrations, which enhances clinical efficacy and reduces the need for frequent dosing. Such characteristics make them particularly advantageous in managing chronic diseases where patient adherence and stable drug...

COPD is defined as a heterogeneous lung condition marked by persistent respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and sputum production, caused by abnormalities in the airways that cause airflow obstruction.
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...
