“…Interestingly, correct placement occurred in all participants using both techniques 10 . Although adverse events were uncommon, more events occurred through use of the applicator than via finger insertion 10 . Given the pliant nature of the NuvaRing and the recommended technique for insertion, we suggest that education by the General Practitioners prior to commencing use, may assist patients in optimising placement of the device.…”

“…Although the NuvaRing has been developed to be placed by a patient's own fingers, applicators also exist. A randomised cross‐over trial in 2016, compared the efficacy of finger insertion versus the use of an applicator 10 . Interestingly, correct placement occurred in all participants using both techniques 10 .…”

management of haematemesis in this patient prior to surgery. 5 Ultimately, however, after endoscopic haemostasis, surgical management of the complex chronic fistula in this case was successful.Although rare, chronic gastric fistula should remain as a differential in any patient post-bariatric surgery who presents with recurrent unexplained pneumonia, haematemesis or abnormal radiology findings. Overall, this is a rare and complex situation with evidence base for treatment limited to case reports only. Management requires a multi-disciplinary approach between the bariatric surgeons, gastroenterologists and radiologists.

Efficacy is Not Everything: Eliciting Women’s Preferences for a Vaginal HIV Prevention Product Using a Discrete-Choice Experiment

et al. 2019

As new female-initiated HIV prevention products enter development, it is crucial to incorporate women's preferences to ensure products will be desired, accepted, and used. A discrete-choice experiment was designed to assess the relative importance of six attributes to stated choice of a vaginally delivered HIV prevention product. Sexually active women in South Africa and Zimbabwe aged 18-30 were recruited from two samples: product-experienced women from a randomized trial of four vaginal placebo forms and product-naïve community members. In a tablet-administered survey, 395 women chose between two hypothetical products over eight choice sets. Efficacy was the most important, but there were identifiable preferences among other attributes. Women preferred a product that also prevented pregnancy and caused some wetness (p < 0.001). They disliked a daily-use product (p = 0.002) and insertion by finger (p = 0.002). Although efficacy drove preference, wetness, pregnancy prevention, and dosing regimen were influential to stated choice of a product, and women were willing to trade some level of efficacy to have other more desired attributes.
