A cross-sectional survey was conducted from February 2016 to September 2016 to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices regarding contraceptive implants among women of childbearing age visiting the Reproductive Health Services Centre, Civil Hospital, Karachi. A total of 396 adult, non-pregnant, married women of childbearing age, between 18 and 49 years, were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Only 153 (38.6%) of the respondents had any knowledge about implants, out of whom 122 (79.7%) had acquired the information from family planning clinics. Almost two thirds of the respondents, 267(67.4%) were in favour of using implants as a contraceptive method. Moreover, 244 (61.6%) respondents were of the opinion that if given a choice, they will use implanon, though out of the 316 (79.8%) respondents who had ever used contraceptives, only 3 (0.9%) used implants. Despite a favourable attitude, limited knowledge and poor practices of the respondents were the highlights of the study findings.

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

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...

Bacterial Signaling01:30

Bacterial Signaling

Bacterial signaling can occur within bacteria (intracellular) or between bacteria (intercellular). At times, a group of bacteria behaves like a community. To achieve this, they engage in quorum sensing, the perception of higher cell density that causes changes in gene expression. Quorum sensing involves both extracellular and intracellular signaling. The signaling cascade starts with a molecule called an autoinducer (AI). Individual bacteria produce AIs that move out of the bacterial cell...

Oogenesis02:07

Oogenesis

In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...

Teeth01:15

Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
