The Factors of the Contraceptives Selection at the Sumbersari Public Health Center, Lumajang

Side effects of the use of contraceptives have always been a problem complained by family planning acceptors. The side effects of family planning such as irregular menstruation, weight gain, nausea, dizziness, and vaginal discharge. This research was conducted in July-August 2019 to determine the factors causing the selection of contraceptives by family planning acceptors at the Sumbersari Public Health Center in Lumajang Regency. Researchers used a cross-sectional design. The sample were 98 family planning acceptors at the Sumbersari Public Health Center, Lumajang Regency, selected using cluster random sampling technique. Researchers used statistical regression tests to data analyze process. Statistical test results of factors that had a positive influence on the selection of contraceptive devices for family planning acceptors in the working area of Sumbersari Public Health Center were the number of children, knowledge of family planning, availability of tools, attitudes and husband's support; counseling performance in the majority of acceptors was good, and the majority of acceptors had a negative family planning history. Husband support and the number of children were the strong influence on the selection of contraception.

Acceptability of Norplant®-2 rods as a method of family planning

The Norplant®-2 rod system consists of two silastic rods in which levonogestrel has been incorporated with the polymer. The continuation rate at the end of five year was 62%. No accidental pregnancies occurred throughout the five years of use. The post-removal conception rate in women desiring pregnancy was 70.8% at the end of two years. The majority of acceptors were happy with the rods and 86.8% expressed the desire to have another set of implants inserted following removal of the first set. The study shows the Norplant®-2 rod system to be a well accepted method of family planning.

Acceptability of norplant R implants for fertility regulation in singapore

The continuation rate at the end of this five-year clinical study was 60% with no accidental pregnancy occurring throughout the five years. The post-removal conception rate in women desiring pregnancy was 92% at the end of two years. The majority of acceptors described the overall experience with the implants as favourable. In fact, 75% of the women planning to use contraception after removal of the implants were going to use implants again.

Profile of the Billings Ovulation Method acceptors and use-effectiveness of the method in Korea

Data from a survey of 200 Billings Ovulation Method acceptors in Korea were used to describe a profile of these natural family planning acceptors, and to calculate use effectiveness rates for twelve months of use among women using the method for avoiding an unplanned pregnancy. The majority of acceptors were women of proven fertility who wanted to limit their family size, and many of them (79%) had previously used a family planning method. Fifty-six percent were Catholics, and those study subjects were above middle income group by Korean annual household income estimates. The mean number of living children the NFP acceptors had was 2.3 +/- 1.4 and the number of children they desired to have was 2.4 +/- 1.4. The cumulative life table rate for unplanned pregnancies at the end of 12 months of use was 7 (+/- 2.5 S.E.) per 100 women, and women ever attending the learning sessions as couples experienced relatively less unplanned pregnancies compared to those women attending the sessions alone.

The Mexican Experience with Postpartum/Postabortion Programs, 1970-1972

The Foundation for the Study of Population which is a private national family planning program offering subsidized services to the poorer sectors of the Mexican population was evaluated after 3 years of experience. It was concluded that this program was probably the most efficient means of promoting family planning yet tried in Mexico because it gave family planning and contraceptive education to large numbers of potential acceptors at 1 time and in 1 place. In 1972 acceptance rates at the 5 hospitals studied varied from 26%-73% comparing favorably with those in other countries. The majority of acceptors received oral contraceptives which were associated with the highest program dropout rate. 34% of nonacceptors gave opposition of spouse or the need to consult spouse as the reason for not accepting and 18% of the acceptors dropped out because of spouses opposition. Instituting an educational program for the couples was suggested as a means to reduce the number of nonacceptors and dropouts. It appeared that the motivational talks given to patients need improving since lack of knowledge and fear of side effects (19%) were given as reasons for nonacceptance.

The acceptor specificity of flavins and flavoproteins. I. Techniques for anaerobic spectrophotometry

1. Easily constructed apparatus is described for spectrophotometry under strictly anaerobic conditions without requiring special cuvettes. It permits the addition of several reagents successively without opening the system to the air. 2. The absorption spectrum of dithionite shows a strong peak at 314 nm, the molar absorbance of which has been determined. This gives a convenient method for the titration of acceptors with dithionite. 3. One molecule of dithionite reacts very rapidly with one molecule of O 2 in solution. The O 2 is reduced quantitatively to H 2O 2. With excess of dithionite another, much slower, reaction follows, in which a second molecule of dithionite is oxidized by the peroxide. 4. A study has been made of the reduction by dithionite of a variety of acceptors commonly used in the study of flavoproteins. The majority react very rapidly, but a few are reduced relatively slowly or not at all. 5. The majority of acceptors do not react significantly with sulphite, the oxidation product of dithionite. One molecule of dithionite then provides two reduction equivalents. A few acceptors, however, react with the sulphite formed, giving a second reaction involving two more equivalents.
