BACKGROUND Media outlets influence social attitudes toward health habits. Analysis of tweets has become a tool for health research. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution of tweets about women´s health and the interest generated among Twitter users. METHODS We investigated tweets posted by 25 major U.S. media outlets about pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women´s health between January 2009 and December 2019 as well as the retweets generated. In addition, we measured the sentiment analysis of these tweets as well as their potential dissemination. RESULTS A total of 376 tweets were analyzed. Pre-menopausal women´s health accounted for most of the tweets (75.3%). Contraception was the main focus of the tweets, while a very limited number were related to infertility (1.4%). With regards to medical content, the effectiveness of contraceptive methods was the most frequent topic (46.2%). However, tweets related to side effects achieved the highest retweet-to-tweet ratio (70.3). The analysis of sentiments showed negative perceptions on tubal ligation. CONCLUSIONS The U.S. media outlets analyzed focused their content on contraception, while Twitter users showed great interest in side effects.

Background: India with 1.35 billion people is the second most populated country in the world next to China. Total fertility rate of India is 2.2 and the current total fertility rate of Jammu and Kashmir is 1.7 which is still lagging behind various states. This study was conducted to investigate the knowledge, attitude and practices of contraception in women of reproductive age in this set up.Methods: The present cross-sectional study was carried out in patients attending OPD (outpatient department) of Obstetrics and Gynecology at ASCOMS, Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir, India from 1st September 2017 to 31st August 2018. 200 married women aged between 18-49 years were included in this study. Socio-demographic characteristics of the women, their knowledge, attitude and practices on contraception were evaluated with the help of predesigned questionnaire.Results: Out of 200 women, maximum respondents belong to age group of 21-25 years (75.6%). Most of the contraceptive non-users belongs to age below 20 years (62.5%). Majority of respondents were Hindu (70.37%), maximum studied up to secondary level education (84.61%), 70.30% were housewives and 56.58% belongs to middle class. In 45% of respondents, media was the main source of information. Preferred spacing method was condom in 85% of cases. 68% women had knowledge of female sterilization. According to most women, family planning methods are meant for limitations of birth (43%) and 36% meant for spacing of birth. 80% women had positive attitude towards contraceptive usage. 50% experienced side effects with the use of contraceptives. The most common side effect was menstrual irregularities in 25% of cases. Most common reason for not using contraceptive methods among non-respondents were lack of knowledge in 50% of cases.Conclusions: The study showed that inspite of having good knowledge, utilization of contraceptives were less because of large family norm, religious myth, cultural and political barriers. Ignorance regarding use and side effects of various contraceptive methods is another reason for inadequate practice of family planning methods.

     Objetivo. Evaluar la calidad de la atención a neonatos con indicadores de proceso, en patologías seleccionadas. Ma­terial y métodos. Evaluación multicéntrica, transversal de nueve indicadores en 28 hospitales de 11 entidades de México. Se utilizó Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) para estándares de calidad y muestra por hospital. Casos seleccio­nados al azar del Subsistema Automatizado de Egresos Hos­pitalarios. Se clasifican hospitales como “cumplimiento con estándar”/“no cumplimiento” por indicador y, cumplimiento con IC95% exacto binomial, regional y nacional, según mues­treo estratificado no proporcional. Resultados. Ningún indicador cumple el estándar de 75% en hospitales, con 0 a 19 hospitales que cumplen, según indicador. Excepto la iden­tificación oportuna de asfixia perinatal e inicio de antibiótico correcto en sospecha de sepsis temprana, el cumplimiento es <50% en todos los demás indicadores. Conclusiones. La calidad de la atención a neonatos en hospitales es heterogé­nea y deficiente. Se proponen indicadores para monitorizar iniciativas de mejora.

Combined Hormonal Contraception

Side effects are the most common reason for the discontinuation of contraceptive methods. Dr Katie Boog summarises the available evidence on how to manage them Although often transient, side effects are the most common reason for individuals to discontinue contraception. The evidence to prove causality is limited, as is evidence-based guidance on how to manage these side effects. This article summarises the available evidence. For individuals who have new or worsening acne on progestogen-only contraception (POC), switching to combined hormonal contraception (CHC) is likely to improve their skin. Continuous or extended CHC use may be beneficial for individuals with premenstrual mood change, and for those who experience headaches in the hormone-free interval. Unpredictable bleeding patterns on POC are common. Injectable users can try reducing the interval between injections to 10 weeks. Implant, injectable or intrauterine system users can be offered a 3-month trial of a combined oral contraceptive pill (COC). CHC and POP users with unpredictable bleeding may benefit from switching to an alternative preparation.

And Performance

Progestogens were first suggested as possible contraceptives in the 1920s, but it was not until the early 1960s that effective progestogen-only contraceptive methods were developed. Since then it has become possible to deliver a range of different progestogens at varying doses, by a variety of routes, over greatly differing durations of time. Some of these systems have demonstrated extraordinarily high contraceptive efficacy with relatively few side-effects apart from unpredictable, but almost universal, disturbances of the menstrual pattern. It is now recognized that some systems may exhibit substantial non-contraceptive health benefits, which should become an important part of the overall performance profile of each method. The high technology and differing attributes associated with some of the systems raise important considerations in relation to user’s perceptions and programmatic requirements. Overall, progestogens are able to offer women a varied range of valuable choices for contraception. The differing performance characteristics of these methods now provide women with a major portion of their current contraceptive choices.
