Contraception, An Issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America

Contraception, An Issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America By Eve Espey, William F. Rayburn
Publisher: Sa.und,ers 2007 | 168 Pages | ISBN: 1416043438 | PDF | 3 MB



This issue of Clinics will focus on innovations in contraception as well as medical and public health barriers to reducing unintended pregnancy. Described in this issue are a number of contraceptive innovations developed over the last few years, including the contraceptive patch and ring as well as the hormonal intrauterine system and hormonal implants. The very effective options, including the IUD and hormonal implants, have appealed to women who previously did not use contraception or used less effective methods. Other contraceptive innovations described include novel approaches to contraception:
Treating the need for contraception as an emergency, using "quick start"
methods of initiating contraceptives, expanding the profile of women considered good candidates for IUDs, and using extended dosing regimens for hormonal contraceptives. At the systems level, this issue will examine legislation, regulations and funding of contraception, factors that have a major impact on access and use. The last decade has seen both improvements in contraceptive usage and continued barriers to improved access. We suggest ways to improve contraceptive use and access over the years to come.

Medical Technologie and the Life World

Medical Technologie and the Life World
Publisher: Routledge | ISBN: 0415364337 | edition 2007 | PDF | 198 pages | 5,6 mb

Although the use of new health technologies in healthcare and medicine is generally seen as beneficial, there has been little analysis of the impact of such technologies on people’s lives and understandings of health and illness. This ground-breaking book explores how new technologies not only provide hope for cure and well-being, but also introduce new ethical dilemmas and raise questions about the 'natural' body.
Focusing on the ways new health technologies intervene into our lives and affect our ideas about normalcy, the body and identity, Medical Technologies and the Life World explores:
* how new health technologies are understood by lay people and patients
* how the outcomes of these technologies are communicated in various clinical settings
* how these technologies can alter our notions of health and illness and create ‘new illness’.
