The IVF protocol in all patients was standard long GnRH agonist (long protocol). The oocyte number, embryo formation, fertility rate, gonadotropin dose, ovarian cyst formation and cancelled cycles were evaluated. Oocytes number per patient in OCP group was 13.87 and in non-OCP group was 15.22, pregnancy rate in OCP group was 44.7% and in non-OCP was 31.2%, the abortion rate in OCP group was 10.5% and in non-OCP was 3.1%, that there was no significant difference between two groups, embryo formation in two groups was similar. ovarian cyst in OCP group was 2.6% and in non-OCP was 12.5% (P< 0.05) so the cancelled cycles due to ovarian cyst in OCP group was less than non-OCP group. Based on our data, OCP pretreatment have no effect on oocyte number, embryo formation, pregnancy rate and abortion, but this pretreatment can decrease the cyst formation so decrease the cancelled cycles in OCP pretreatment.","PeriodicalId":396251,"journal":{"name":"Women's Health Science Journal","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123035208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HIV-experienced clinicians are critical for positive outcomes that align with the HIV care continuum. Howard University (HU) used the National HIV Curriculum (NHC,2015) via distance base technology to fill the void and strengthen HIV care, particularly among students and faculty at our Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). One major program success was HUs ongoing ability to access a dedicated core of health sciences faculty to champion the NHC. This approach ensured the successful integration of the NHC into the course offerings at the various HBCUs. The effective integration was accomplished despite the unequal challenge that the COVID-19 pandemic unleashed on the vulnerable communities served by our HBCUs. The project success was achieved through the development and strengthening of ongoing partnerships with our cohort of HBCUs, conducting ongoing needs assessments and responding promptly to the findings, emphasizing training opportunities in addition to the NHC, and providing on-demand technical assistance and resources to our partners. Howard University surpassed by 459% its original goal of engaging 1964 students to take the NHC. At the conclusion of the four-year project performance period 10,983 students completed all or part of the NHC.","PeriodicalId":396251,"journal":{"name":"Women's Health Science Journal","volume":"51 12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122846152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One particular topic that needs attention is the female context, due to the fact that these diseases often have more severe consequences in women’s bodies, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy, and cervical cancer. Based on the assumption that well-informed people are more likely to adopt positive and healthy habits for themselves and considering the lack of knowledge on the topic among young Brazilians, schools symbolize an excellent place for having an informational dialogue. Therefore, the objective of the article is to describe the relation between health and education in the aforementioned scenario, from the perspective of the university extension project “Saber Viver”, conducted in the Medicine School at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF). It expands the merely preventive methodology centered on biology into a more human approach, compatible with the socio-cultural context of the young audience.

She presented to Ataturk University Research Hospital with complaints of abdominal distention, nausea, vomiting and constipation. The first day after admission, complained of more intense vomiting, abdominal distenrion and pain. An emergency laparotomy was performed. The part of jejenum, entire ileum, part of the ascending colon were necrosis, and thrombosis was discovered in the mesenteric venosus. The necrotic intestine was resected and a end-to-end colo-jejunal anostomosis was perormed. Postoperative, the patient was started on anticoagulants and antibiotherapy in intensive care. Unfortunately, the patient died on the second day after the operation. Conclusion: Mesenteric ischemia and MVT in pregnancy is a rare, but important cause of intestinal ischemia. When a pregnant patient presents with an acute abdomen, mesenteric ischemia and MVT should be included in the differential diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":396251,"journal":{"name":"Women's Health Science Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131240318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, countries like Gambia, Mali, Uganda and Zimbabwe have age incidence rate of 32.5, 37.7, 47.5 and 47.4 per 100,000 women per year respectively. The aim of the study was to assess the Knowledge, Practise and Acceptability of Cervical Cancer Screening among Midwives in public health facilities in the Gambia. A cross-sectional study design was used and a sample size of 91 female midwives was selected from 14 public health facilities using multistage sampling method. A questionnaire consisting of structured and semi-structured questions was used. The questionnaire was pilot tested among 24 midwifery students for validity and had a Cronbach score of 0.76 after deleting six questions. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20, descriptive and inferential statistics like hypothesis tested was performed. The results shows that 35.2% (n=32) had poor knowledge on cervical cancer, while 27.5% (n=25) had fair knowledge and 37.4% (n=34) had good knowledge on cervical cancer. There is no statistically significant association between length of service and knowledge on cervical cancer (P= 0.397). However, there is a statistically significant association between cadre and knowledge on cervical cancer screening as chi square test shows P= 0.006. There is knowledge deficit on cervical cancer among female midwives working in public health facilities in the Gambia.

This research sought to study group violence such as mobbing and intimidation such as bullying when women become pregnant or become mothers. For this reason, we seek to analyze the impact of motherhood and fatherhood on men and women between 20 and 24 years of age, considered by the WHO (World Health Organization) to be full youth. We start from a generalized cultural assumption that men are able to bear the burden of study and work with greater skill than women and it is women who suffer more aggression. The questions that were sought to answer with this research are: Which group of women or men suffers more from group harassment, mobbing and intimidation accompanied by physical aggression such as bullying for being a mother or father? What are the types of violence you faced at school and at work for being a mother or father? The methodology for developing this study was qualitative and ethnographic. The techniques applied were in-depth interviews and case analysis. In addition to consulting various primary and secondary sources. It was interesting to study the modalities of violence in young men and women from 14 to 40 years of age. Our findings show that discrimination at school and at work was one of the main points of the interviewees. The aggression in the family was another reported data. At a younger age, violence against pregnant women is greater. Professionals are the ones who suffer the most aggression in their jobs when they become mother and father.","PeriodicalId":396251,"journal":{"name":"Women's Health Science Journal","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130087619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
