Intrauterine deposition of calcium on copper-bearing intrauterine contraceptive devices. [PDF]

BMJ, 1977
Copper-bearing intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) removed after various times in utero were examined by scanning electron microscopy and x-ray microanalysis of the elements present. As time in utero increased these devices became increasingly calcified. This calcification may limit the release of copper from the devices and decrease the specific

Concealed coexistence: Reproductive choice and coercion in Timor‐Leste

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Choice is a central concept in reproductive rights. However, a discourse of choice in reproductive health can also mask precisely the act it aims to protect against: coercion. Whilst choice has been explored extensively in studies of reproductive rights and justice, understandings of coercion are fragmented and under‐theorized.

Postpartum Intrauterine Device Removal and Access to Removal in the 18 Months Following an Intervention in Tanzania, Sri Lanka, and Nepal

Studies in Family Planning, EarlyView.
Abstract Family planning programs in the Global South promote long‐acting reversible contraception (LARC), but research suggests that women face barriers to LARC discontinuation, inhibiting their reproductive autonomy. Scholars have called for improved data visibility around LARC removal access.

Ageing attenuates regional vasoconstriction during acute lowering of upper and lower limbs

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The venoarteriolar and myogenic response (VMR) is a non‐adrenergic, non‐baroreflex‐mediated mechanism that increases local vascular resistance and contributes to blood pressure (BP) regulation during orthostasis. Despite the importance of the VMR in human cardiovascular control, no information exists elucidating possible differences in the VMR
