“…In fact, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that IUDs be considered for all women. Contrary to common belief among providers, IUDs do not increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, tubal infertility, or ectopic pregnancy; the rates of infection in adolescents IUD users are similar to those found in adults [8].…”

“…[3,[5][6][7]24] This commercial success has generated further interest to expand the range of therapeutics for the transdermal route. In the light of what was mentioned above about this therapeutic system, we decided to evaluate the attitudes of Palestinian health professionals and their assessment toward the advantages and disadvantages of TTSs in the pharmaceutical field.…”

T o evaluate the scientific knowledge and attitudes of health professionals in Palestine regarding the advantages of transdermal therapeutic systems (TTSs) over conventional therapy. Data were gathered from a questionnaire that was handed out to community pharmacists and physicians. Pharmaceutical industry decision makers were enrolled in this study. Data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical software program version 10. 79.5% of pharmacists and 74% of physicians thought that TTSs eliminate variables due to gut absorption. 78.8% of pharmacists and 65.6% of physicians were in agreement regarding the capacity of TTSs to avoid first-pass metabolism. In this study, 83.3% of the physicians and 81.3% pharmacists still agree that TTSs may provide controlled release. 55.8% of pharmacists and only 26% of physicians believed that TTSs eliminate drug-plasma fluctuation. 56.8% of pharmacists and 63.5% of physicians agreed that TTSs can use drugs with low therapeutic indices. 81.3% of pharmacists and 85.4% of physicians believed that TTSs are not invasive and can be removed easily to stop drug administration. 81.3% of physicians and 89.1% of pharmacists thought that TTSs may irritate or sensitize the skin. Eighty-four percent of pharmacists and 75% of physicians recognize that TTSs should contain drugs that must be stable and have correct physicochemical properties. The importance of TTSs is understood and appreciated by Palestinian health personnel. Pharmaceutical industries should pay more attention to the development and production of TTSs due to the valuable advantages of this therapeutic system.

“…Svaka kontraceptivna metoda ili sredstvo treba da ispuni nekoliko uslova: da bude e kasna, da ne remeti normalan seksualni odnos, da je neškodljiva, je ina i pristupačna i da je jednostavna za upotrebu. 2,3 Vrste kontraceptivnih metoda su brojne i obuhvataju čitav spektar mehaničkih (dijafragma, kondom, intrauterina sredstva), farmakoloških (estrogeni, gestageni i aborti cijensi) i hirurških metoda (sterilizacija, prekid trudnoće), koje se često medjusobno kombinuju i, u različitoj meri, dopunjuju sa tradicionalnim i nedovoljno e kasnim strategijama (npr. metod plodnih dana, prekinuti polni odnos).…”

“…19 Ovakvi rezultati sugerišu da je namerni prekid trudnoće osnovni metod planiranja porodice u Topličkom okrugu, što je potpuno u suprotnosti sa savremenim stavovima ne samo u medicini već i u demografskoj nauci. 2,4 Ovako zabrinjavajući rezultati su dopunjeni i analizom na uzorku anketiranih žena. Samo trećina njih koristi redovno kontraceptivna sredstva, a često nedovoljno proverene odnosno e kasne metode.…”

Cilj. Cilj rada je da utvrdi učestalost namernog abortusa tokom petogodišnjeg perioda u Topličkom okrugu, osnovne sociodemografske determinante žena i analizira metode kontracepcije.Metode. Podaci o učestalosti abortusa su prikupljeni iz dokumentacije Opšte bolnice Prokuplje za period [2009][2010][2011][2012][2013]. godine, a ostali parametri za period 2012-2013. godine. Nivo znanja o zaštiti tokom seksualnog odnosa prikupljen je anketiranjem slučajnog uzorka od 50 ispitanica starosne dobi 20-50 godina.Rezultati. Fluktuacija broja namernih prekida trudnoće (174, 191, 154, 163, 148) nije statistički značajna (p=0.135). U dobi 20-29 godina se vrši najveći broj namernih pobačaja. Nema razlike u broju namernih prekida u subpopulacijama žena prema uzrastu između dva ispitivana perioda (p=0.871). Najveći broj prekida su imale udate žene a veći broj se učini u gradu nego na selu. Od ukupnog broja žena sa namernim abortusom najviše je bilo sa 2 prethodna porođaja (46%). Od ukupnog broja namernih pobačaja kod 28,6% žena je bio prvi. Prekidi trudnoće su vršeni od 6-10 nedelje, a najčešće u 8. nedelji gestacije. Varijacije u učestalosti nisu bile statistički značajne izmedju dve ispitivane godine (p=0.500). Zaštitu tokom seksualnog odnosa koristi 36%, ne koristi 48%, ponekad koristi 16% ispitanica. Od ispitanica koje redovno ili povremeno koriste kontraceptivna sredstva njih 20% koristi oralne kontraceptive, 16% upotrebljava kondom, dok manji broj koristi kombinovane ili druge, tradicionalne metode.Zaključak. Učestalost namernog pobačaja kod ispitivane populacije žena je znatna, ne pokazuje značajne uktuacije u broju i socio-demografskim činiocima, a korišćenje savremenih metoda kontracepcije je nedovoljno.Ključne reči: abortus, namerni; kontracepcija; javno zdravlje.Objective. The aim of study was to determine frequency of induced abortion during a five-year period in Toplica count, basic socio-demographic determinants of a woman and analyze methods of contraception. Results. Fluctuations in number of induced abortions (174, 191, 154, 163, 148) were not significant (p=0.135). The highest number of induced abortions was at age 20-29 years. There was no difference within subpopulations of women by age between two studied periods (p=0.871). Married women had more abortion as well as women at city than in countryside. Women with 2 previous births were prevailing (46%) as well as women in which the induced abortions were the first one (28.6%). Abortions were performed at 6-10 weeks, usually in the 8th week of gestation, in both years (p=0.500). Protection during sexual intercourse used 36% of women, did not use 48% ones and sometimes used 16% women. Of respondents who regularly or occasionally use contraception 20% of them used oral contraceptives, 16% used a condom, while a smaller number are used combination or other traditional methods.Conclusion. Incidence of induced abortions in study population of women is high, there were no significant fluctuations in incidence as well as in women's socio-demographic factors, and us...
