La objeción de conciencia farmacéutica a la píldora postcoital
2003
The article represents a taking of position regarding the matter of the conscience objection towards the morning-after pill (MAP). The MAP is considered like an emergency contraception that the woman can take within the 72 hours from the sexual intercourse. The mechanisms of action of the product can be the following: a. to avoid the ovulation; b. to prevent the fusion between oocyte and sperm after the ovulation; c. to make impossible the implant of the embryo in the uterus. The author questions in the article if the MAP is abortive and, in this case, explicits the fundamental points of the Spanish law about the conscience objection. It is not difficult to ascertain that the MAP acts as co…
Optimal management of hormonal contraceptives after an episode of venous thromboembolism
2019
Optimal management of hormonal contraception in patients with venous thromboembolism (VE) requires an individualized approach considering its potential benefits and complications during and after anticoagulant treatment. Potential benefits include prevention of pregnancy and mitigation of menstrual bleeding that is often worsened after start of anticoagulation therapy. Current evidence suggests that patients may opt for a continuation of (all forms of) hormonal contraception during anticoagulant treatment, provided that they are adequately informed by the treating physicians. Combined oral contraceptives should be stopped before anticoagulant therapy may he discontinued, preferably after th…
AISF position paper on liver transplantation and pregnancy: Women in Hepatology Group, Italian Association for the Study of the Liver (AISF)
2016
After the first successful pregnancy in a liver transplant recipient in 1978, much evidence has accumulated on the course, outcomes and management strategies of pregnancy following liver transplantation. Generally, liver transplantation restores sexual function and fertility as early as a few months after transplant. Considering that one third of all liver transplant recipients are women, that approximately one-third of them are of reproductive age (18-49 years), and that 15% of female liver transplant recipients are paediatric patients who have a >70% probability of reaching reproductive age, the issue of pregnancy after liver transplantation is rather relevant, and obstetricians, paedi…
Consensus On Women'S Health Aspects Of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (Pcos)
2012
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in females with a high prevalence. The etiology of this heterogeneous condition remains obscure and its phenotype expression varies. Two, widely cited, previous ESHRE/ASRM-sponsored PCOS consensus workshops focused on diagnosis (published in 2004) and infertility management (published in 2008). The present third PCOS consensus paper summarizes current knowledge and identifies knowledge gaps regarding various women's health aspects of PCOS. Relevant topics addressed-all dealt with in a systematic fashion-include adolescence, hirsutism and acne, contraception, menstrual cycle abnormalities, quality of life, ethnicity, preg…
La vasectomia a sostegno del piacere: analisi casistica e considerazioni medico legali
2012
In Italy, the resort to vasectomy, surgery adapted to determine an irreversible alteration of the physical state of an individual, resulting in the loss of the ability to procreate, is somewhat reduced compared to the others European countries, even though legitimate, it carries the disadvantage of the absence of a clear and univocal legislation concerning surgical sterilization. Despite, in recent years there has been a change in the assessment of such surgery. Nevertheless, is relevant that in the Italian legal system still lacks a regulatory of such medical-surgery activities, although several bills have been submitted to the competent parliamentary bodies. The attitude of indifference t…
Ecrire pour reconquérir son corps
2021
Fondée par Lidia Falcón et Carmen Alcalde en 1976, Vindicación Feminista est la revue phare du féminisme espagnol de deuxième vague. Dans un pays qui sort tout juste de trente-six ans de dictature national-catholique, le magazine détonne. Moderne et irrévérencieux, il aborde sans scrupule ni tabou des thèmes comme l’homosexualité, la diversité du plaisir féminin ou la prostitution. Il s’engage également dans les grandes batailles féministes de l’époque : dépénalisation de l’adultère et de la contraception, accès au divorce, avortement libre, etc., car l’un des objectifs de Vindicación est la reconquête du corps féminin, indument accaparé par la dictature franquiste. Pour le magazine, il est…

Ewangelickie oraz katolickie nauczanie o antykoncepcji jako sporny obszar dialogu ekumenicznego
2018
Celem niniejszego artykułu jest spojrzenie na problematykę antykoncepcji w kontekście ekumenicznym. Szczególną okazją ku takiej refleksji jest przypadająca w 2018 r. pięćdziesiąta rocznica opublikowania przez papieża św. Pawła VI encykliki Humanae vitae o zasadach moralnych w dziedzinie przekazywania życia ludzkiego. Wiadomo, iż Kościół katolicki w swych oficjalnych wypowiedziach zupełnie inaczej ocenia stosowanie środków antykoncepcyjnych niż Kościoły ewangelickie. Te ostatnie bowiem, podobnie jak inne wspólnoty protestanckie, już w latach trzydziestych XX w. zaakceptowały antykoncepcję jako formę odpowiedzialnego podejścia małżonków do rodzicielstwa. W Kościele katolickim metody antykonce…
Contemporary performance art by Helena Walsh: embodiment as empowerment in an Irish context
2016
Ever since the 1970s, performance artists have used their bodies as a means to question the patriarchal control of women. In Ireland, where the body is at the center of debates over contraception, abortion and divorce, feminist performance art has proved particularly pertinent to substitute the real experiential body to the allegorical or fetishized female body. Through her performances, Helena Walsh incites the viewers to respond to the effect of ideology on the physical body. Embodiment, impersonation and incorporation make the body explicit and reopen historical wounds.
Predicting the age at natural menopause in middle-aged women
2021
Objective To predict the age at natural menopause (ANM). Methods Cox models with time-dependent covariates were utilized for ANM prediction using longitudinal data from 47 to 55-year-old women (n = 279) participating in the Estrogenic Regulation of Muscle Apoptosis study. The ANM was assessed retrospectively for 105 women using bleeding diaries. The predictors were chosen from the set of 32 covariates by using the lasso regression (model 1). Another easy-to-access model (model 2) was created by using a subset of 16 self-reported covariates. The predictive performance was quantified with c-indices and by studying the means and standard deviations of absolute errors (MAE ± SD) between the pre…
