Intrauterine devices and endometrial cancer risk : a pooled analysis of the Epidemiology of Endometrial Cancer Consortium [PDF]

, 2015
Intrauterine devices (IUDs), long-acting and reversible contraceptives, induce a number of immunological and biochemical changes in the uterine environment that could affect endometrial cancer (EC) risk.

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.

Quantifying microvascular responses to local heating using optical coherence tomography: Comparison between skin sites and sex differences

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Summary of the study design, metholodgy, results and conclusions. Abstract Due to a lack of technical capacity to directly visualise and quantify microvessels in the skin, little is known regarding regional and/or sex differences. We compared diameter, velocity, flow and density at four regional sites using a novel optical coherence tomography (OCT ...

Discontinuation rates of intrauterine contraception due to unfavourable bleeding: a systematic review

BMC Women's Health, 2022
Objective Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices (LNG-IUDs) and copper intrauterine devices (Cu-IUDs) offer long-acting contraception; however, some women may discontinue use within the first year due to bleeding pattern changes, limiting their ...

Myths and methodologies: Optimising experimental rigour in heat adaptation research: Menstrual status classification and scheduling approaches

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Women remain underrepresented in thermal physiology research, particularly within studies examining physiological adaptation to hot environments. Among the limited research that includes female participants, few studies have appropriately classified menstrual status of their participants or rigorously accounted for ovarian hormone influences ...
