Lactobacilli are a normal component of the vaginal flora. Samples from 16 chronic cervicitis were collected by swabbing the portion. Direct microscopy of the samples showed Gram-positive rods among polymorphonuclear cells (more than 10 per high-power field). Many of the polymorphonuclear cells try to phagocytize the rods All samples tested negative by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Chlamydia trachomatis , Neisseria gonorrhoea , Ureaplasma urealyticum , Ureaplasma , M.hominis and M.genitalium . Random samples were also tested for Trichomonas vaginalis and/or human papillomavirus by PCR and resulted negative. None of the women showed signs of bacterial vaginosis. Neither clue cells (by microscopy) nor Gardnerella vaginalis (by culture) were detected in these cases.

Migraine is the most common headache disorder resulting in seeking of medical care [1, 2], in addition to being one of the most debilitating chronic disease conditions in terms of both morbidity and lost economic productivity. Migraine incidence has been observed since ancient times to disproportionately affect women, and most current epidemiological assessments put current incidence estimates at 12% overall for US populations, with an incidence of 18% in women and 6% in men when stratified by sex. This dimorphism of incidence is crucial when assessing overall health of a community, specifically when concerning women’s health and therefore must be taken into consideration when developing both clinical and basic models of migraine to enact the best possible outcomes of combined translational research efforts. While major recent advances have been made in the field of pharmacologic intervention for migraine with the recent approval of the anti CGRP and anti CGRP receptor antibody medications, prohibitive cost and limited access have made older treatments, such as the triptans and NSAIDs, still the most commonly utilized medications to combat migraine attacks. Current preclinical research models are heavily interested in modulation of the neuropeptide CGRP, and the phenomenon of cortical spreading depression (CSD), believed to be the underlying trigger of migraine with aura, via pharmacological intervention. Modulations of these phenomena has found to be correlated with menstrual events in women, tying back to the overarching theme of higher morbidity in women. With the advent of pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine, a new epoch of potential customizable treatments looms on the horizon, endearing those afflicted with this severely debilitating condition a new glimmer of hope as research progresses into its next phase.

Methods: Cross-sectional study in primary care population. A population survey of women born in 1948 or 1950 and living in a municipality with 19,535 inhabitants in south-western Finland in 2017. Main outcome measures were i ncidence of urinary or faecal incontinence. Results: After analyzing the questionnaires and research findings, we found that urinary incontinence is a common phenomenon, reported by 50.3% of participants. According to the Urinary Incontinence Severity Score (UISS), 12.7% of them believed that the degree of disability was remarkable, and according to the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), 18.3% considered the degree of disability to be difficult. In this study obesity was the most common feature affecting urinary incontinence. Conclusion: Urinary incontinence is a common problem and will increase as the population ages. It can deteriorate a person’s quality of life, increase her need of care and involve considerable costs. Preventing the problem and treating it as early as possible in primary health-care is both reasonable and saves time and money. Urinary incontinence is a common problem in the ageing female population. Many women are ashamed of their incontinence and do not even mention it during the GP’s consultation. Preventing the problem and treating it as early as possible in primary healthcare is important.","PeriodicalId":93266,"journal":{"name":"Archives of women health and care","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91278497","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}

Rates of opioid-related mortality have increased more rapidly among women than men [3], and when stratified by age, the increase in opioid-related mortality is particularly notable among middle-aged women [4]. Unique risk factors for opioid misuse and opioid use disorder (OUD) in women have been identified, including higher pain levels and increased opioid withdrawal symptoms [5] among women with OUD and higher rates of psychological comorbidities [6,7]. In addition, midlife women with co-occurring chronic pain and menopausal symptoms experience increased rates of risky opioid use including long-term opioid use, high-dose opioid use, and coprescription of CNS-depressants and opioids [8]. Thus, addressing pain, menopausal symptoms, and psychological comorbidities may help reduce rates of OUD and ultimately prevent fatal overdose among midlife women.","PeriodicalId":93266,"journal":{"name":"Archives of women health and care","volume":"9 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91503666","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}

Prenatal weight data can be interpreted in relation to many contexts, such as BMI, weight loss or gain, body fat, and patient perspectives. The primary goals for weight management during pregnancy include helping pregnant women achieve an optimal weight but to avoid excessive gestational weight gain. To prevent excessive gestational weight gain among pregnant women, healthcare providers can focus on utilizing integrated and inter professional collaborative team care approach, the 5A’s method for lifestyle counseling, and self-monitoring strategy to empower pregnant women for behavioral change. Prenatal weight management is important for a healthy pregnancy with short- and long-term health implications for the mother and the baby.","PeriodicalId":93266,"journal":{"name":"Archives of women health and care","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80805226","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}
