Sexual desire does not vary in relation to the use of OCs or IUDs, yet it does decrease with age, in nulliparous women and in those with an average or poor relationship with their partner. Furthermore, sexual desire shows an increase between the first 6 and 12 months of contraceptive treatment.
We studied the prognostic value of anaemia in the evolution of patients with early stages of uterine cervix cancer and treated with radical surgery. An observational study of 114 patients treated for cervical cancer at the "La Fe" Maternity Hospital in Valencia (Spain) during the period 1971 to 1989. Survival analyses were carried out whereby both recurrence and mortality rates were considered. The level of haemoglobin influences the prognosis of the patients in the study presented, and explains a variation in the disease-free interval in correlation with that of tumour size. However, its influence on the survival interval proved to be somewhat less. Its predictive value is not diminished when associated with other important factors regarding the influence on patient evolution and is seen to be a protector variable against recurrence. Patients with haemoglobin levels of less than 13 gr/dl have a less favourable prognosis and this prognosis worsens still further when levels are lower than 12 gr/dl, which is more frequently the case in patients under 40 years of age and with a greater stromal invasion depth. The influence of haemoglobin levels is equally as important in its influence on prognosis and patient evolution as the volume of the tumour itself. The effect of this variable depends on both the clinical characteristics of the patients and the pathological characteristics of the tumour.
Factor XII (Hageman factor) is an important protease that plays a major role in the initiation of the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis and kinin formation. It is still unclear whether factor XII deficiency causes any disorders during pregnancy. Because the main clinical feature in patients with factor XII deficiency is thrombosis rather than bleeding, low dose aspirin would be expected to prevent first trimester miscarriage and a decrease in factor XII level itself was found to be an independent risk factor in recurrent miscarriage. The woman in a 31-year-old patient, with personal and family antecedents without interest and preceding obstetrics of two spontaneous abortions in the first quarter of the pregnancy without apparent cause. In the study of infertility practiced emphasizes a partition of not more than one centimetre of length in the uterine found by hysteroscopy exploration and in the study of hipercoagulability a light deficiency of the factor XII. Himself guideline processing with low dose of aspirin (125 mgr/day) and preconception folic acid (5 mgr/day), remains expectant mother and in the week 12 of her third pregnancy itself guideline antitrombotic prophylaxis with heparin of low molecular weight by subcutaneous way. The pregnancy reaches the week 39 without incidents of interest and the expectant mother give birth of spontaneous form to health boy. Repeated abortions may be associated with reduced level of factor XII activity of unknown origin and low-dose aspirin may prevent miscarriage caused for decreased factor XII levels in patients with a history of recurrent first trimester miscarriage
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
