“…Although this use is nowadays recalled only by few people (one of them was son of a famous medicine woman of the town of Pescasseroli), it used to be widespread (Tammaro and Pietrocola, 1975;Tammaro, 1984). The species is known to be used as a vermifuge in other areas of the Mediterranean, Western Europe, North America (Chapman and Chapman, 1980;Hale and Pion, 1972) and Indonesia (Zaneveld, 1959).…”

A new prostaglandin analogue, 16,16-dimethyl-trans-A2-PGE, methyl ester (16 me El) was used for preoperative cervical dilatation in 23 pregnant women who had abortion induced for socio-economical reasons in the first trimester of pregnancy. A single vaginal pessary containing 1 mg 16 me E, was inserted into the posterior fornix at 3-hour intervals. Thirteen (56.5 per cent) of the 23 patients had complete abortions and two patients (8.7 per cent) had incomplete abortions. In six patients (26.1 per cent) the cervix was dilated to at least 10 mm and the remaining two patients (8.7 per cent) required mechanical dilatation at the time of vacuum evacuation. Apart from mild gastrointestinal symptoms, no serious side effects were noted. It is concluded that the new prostaglandin analogue, 16 me El, could be used safely and effectively for preoperative dilatation of the cervix before surgical abortion in early pregnancy.

Preliminary cervical dilatation using Lamicel. followed by relatively painless uterine probing was successful in removing 30 of 31 contraceptive devices that had not been removable in the outpatient clinic. This technique is simple, safe, inexpensive and well tolerated. It can be utilized to retrieve intrauterine contraceptive devices with missing tails whcn other conventional clinic procedures fail.
