Birth Control Methods01:22

Birth Control Methods

3.1K
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...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation III: AED Use

78
Introduction to AEDAn Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device that analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electrical shock to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, leading to a loss of blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. In such emergencies, time is of the essence, and using an AED, combined with Cardiopulmonary...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

184
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Dose-Response Relationship: Potency and Efficacy01:22

Dose-Response Relationship: Potency and Efficacy

5.3K
The potency of a drug is the measure of its ability to produce a biological response and can be compared by looking at the half-maximum effective concentration or EC50 values of different drugs. A lower EC50 value indicates higher potency of the drug. In the dose–response curve of two antihypertensive drugs, candesartan and irbesartan, a significant difference is observed in their EC50 values. A lower EC50 value for candesartan indicates that it is more potent than irbesartan, as it...

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route01:18

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route

757
The enteral drug administration involves three primary routes: oral, sublingual, and buccal. Oral ingestion is the most prevalent, safe, economical, and convenient method for drug administration. However, it has certain drawbacks, including limited absorption due to the drug's low water solubility or poor membrane permeability, possible emesis from GI mucosa irritation, destruction of drugs by digestive enzymes or low gastric pH, and irregular absorption along with food or other drugs.

Pharmacovigilance01:19

Pharmacovigilance

1.0K
Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
In some cases, there...

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Public Health
  • Contraception

Background:

  • Emergency contraception (EC) significantly reduces unplanned pregnancies and unsafe abortions when used within 72 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse (UPSI).
  • Assessing EC awareness and utilization is crucial for reproductive health strategies in diverse populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate awareness, usage patterns, and effectiveness of emergency contraception among reproductive-age women in Iraq.
  • To identify gaps in EC knowledge and practice for targeted interventions.

Main Methods:

  • An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted in Iraq from January to August 2023.
  • Data was collected from 131 reproductive-age Iraqi women via an online, self-administered questionnaire.
  • Descriptive statistics and Minitab v23 were used for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • Only 29.01% of respondents reported using emergency contraception.
  • Of those using EC, 76.31% did so within 24 hours of UPSI.
  • Unplanned pregnancies occurred in 13.15% of EC users, while 86.84% did not experience pregnancy.

Conclusions:

  • Despite good awareness, emergency contraception use and attitudes among Iraqi women remain suboptimal.
  • A significant proportion of unplanned pregnancies occurred among EC users, indicating potential issues with efficacy or adherence.
  • Enhanced awareness campaigns, improved access to EC, and integration into free family planning services are recommended for Iraq.
