This is a rare pathology in daily practice and it represents about 2% of EP with a mortality rate of 2-2.5% per uterine rupture, doubled compared to other tubal ectopic pregnancy. We report a case of late evolutionary left cornual pregnancy in myomatous uterus, discovered with minimal blackish metrorrhagia with pelvic pain due to 10-week amenorrhea in a 30-year-old patient, gravida 7 primipara (5 spontaneous miscarriages). After a diagnostic wandering, the exploratory laparotomy confirmed a left cornual pregnancy in myomatous uterus. A cornual resection was carried out with simple postoperative recoveries.","PeriodicalId":396251,"journal":{"name":"Women's Health Science Journal","volume":"488 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":"121818985","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}

{"title":"Do Individuals Living with HIV know how to Access Resources in Order to Safeguard their Health in the Event of Statewide Emergency Situations?","authors":"G. Downer","doi":"10.23880/whsj-16000129","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23880/whsj-16000129","url":null,"abstract":"There has been a significant increase in the number and severity of disasters over the past decades as is noted in the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters’ Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT). Access to care during such events is critical for vulnerable populations, especially those with communicable diseases such as HIV. As such, inability to access antiretroviral medications, safe food, housing, and transportation may disproportionately affect People Living with HIV (PLWH). This is especially so, because PLWH are both more likely than the general population to experience adverse effects from disasters and face multiple stigmatizing barriers to care. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was self-administered to a convenience sample of 53 volunteers who were in attendance at a World AIDS Day event in Washington, DC. This pilot study utilized scenarios to examine what PLWH would do if they ran out of medication and food in the event of an emergency situation such as a natural disaster or catastrophic event. The survey also asked about PLWHs’ housing and transportation concerns in emergency situations. Results: Analyses revealed that all areas assessed would pose a difficulty for PLWHs. Furthermore, inability to access medication (88%) and the lack of knowledge about how to access medication (92%) during a natural disaster were consistently stubborn issues. Conclusions: Findings suggested that this cohort of PLWH in DC might not be prepared for emergencies. Similarly, they do not know where to access the assistance needed to prevent health complications during emergencies and disaster situations. The results highlighted some reasons for vulnerability of PLWH in this geographical location. More planning and education are needed to safeguard the wellbeing of PLWH, lessen PLWH’s health vulnerabilities, and enhance supportive services for PLWH and their caregivers during emergency or disaster situations. Significant implications are discussed for future prevention, intervention, practices, and research as the nation moves to address the goal of “Ending HIV by 2030.”","PeriodicalId":396251,"journal":{"name":"Women's Health Science Journal","volume":"4 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":"122516456","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}

Indonesia’s rate of exclusive breastfeeding was 68.7% in 2018. Rate of exclusive breastfeeding can be affected by many factors for instance level of knowledge and socioeconomic status. One of the government’s attempts to increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding is setting a regulation regarding the provision of lactation room for instance in Minister of Health Regulations Act 15 of 2013 Regarding Procedures for Provision of Breastfeeding and/or Pumping Breast’s Milk Facilities . Objectives: To analyze the usage of lactation room effectiveness in malls as a supporting factors of exclusive breastfeeding. Methods: An evaluative research in four malls in Central Jakarta with 57 subjects. Data were collected through interview and observation. Fisher-exact test were used to analyze bivariate analysis. Results: All shopping centers provide lactation rooms, but only 50% meet the requirements and standards. The number of visitors to the mall in the past week was 5000 people and only 263 (5.3%) used the lactation room with an average duration of 20 minutes. Most of the users (78.3%) were babysitters and the rest were mothers with the characteristics are 70.2% vocational and tertiary education, 75.4 is working, 45.6% middle socioeconomic class. The use of the lactation room is 40% and bellow and less effective. Almost mothers of babies have a good level of knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding. There is a relationship between the level of knowledge with the level of education (p= 0.006), employment status (p= 0.020), and socioeconomic status (p= 0.040).

IUD users are estimated more than 100 million in the world. In Indonesia, the percentage of IUD users is 6.97%. Serious complications from an IUD both during insertion and using are rare, dislocation is one of the complication. The initial detection of dislocation is by touching the thread at the cervix, examining the sondage and pelvic photographs. Management of IUD dislocation is by laparotomy or laparoscopy. Case: A case of a 25-year-old woman, Para1Abortus 0, complaining about cannot palpable IUD thread and not seen IUD for 1 years before operation and now she wants to remove the IUD. Abdominal x-ray appears IUD outside the uterine cavity and from ultrasound could not detect the IUD. We did laparoscopic exploration for IUD removal, showed a perforation in the posterior wall of the uterus that had been covered by the omentum. The IUD was removed, both the adnexa and uterus were in normal limit and after making sure there was no abdominal cavity bleeding. Conclusion: This is a rare case and the risk of complications should be minimized if it is done at the right time and by a well-trained staff, early detection of simple IUD dislocation with IUD thread control. In the case of dislocation, laparoscopic exploration is safe and the main choice if the facility and expert are available.","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":"131583161","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}
