Rectal translocation of intrauterine contraceptive device: A rare and infrequent occurrence

open access: yesSaudi Journal for Health Sciences, 2019
Displacement of copper intrauterine devices (IUDs) is not uncommon complication of these methods of contraception; many literatures have reported the translocation of IUDs to the peritoneum, bladder, and myometrium.

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

open access: yesExperimental 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 ...

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

open access: yesBMJ, 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

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

open access: yesExperimental 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 ...

Sexual functioning in women using levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine systems as compared to copper intrauterine devices

open access: yes, 2012
Introduction. There has been little research published on the impact of intrauterine contraceptive (IUC) methods on sexual functioning. Aims. This study aimed: (i) to assess different aspects of sexual functioning, including the prevalence of sexual ...

Accuracy of next‐generation wireless skin temperature sensors during exercise–heat stress

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Skin temperature is fundamental in characterising human thermoregulatory responses. Wired probes, although accurate, restrict movement and are impractical outside laboratory settings. The iButton (DS1922L; Maxim Integrated, USA) is a widely used wireless alternative but does not meet the precision recommended by ISO 9886 and permits only ...

Characterization of copper corrosion products originated in simulated uterine fluids and on packaged intrauterine devices

open access: yes, 2013
This paper studies the characterization of corrosion products originated after 1 and 12 weeks' immersion of copper specimens in simulated uterine fluids at pH 6.3 and 8.0 and at 37°C temperature. The experimental techniques used were X-ray photo-electron

Women with epilepsy: Evidence‐based counseling across the lifespan

open access: yesEpilepsia, Volume 67, Issue 6, Page 2689-2706, June 2026.
Abstract Women with epilepsy (WWE) encounter distinct and evolving challenges across the lifespan that require clinical management extending beyond seizure control alone. Although awareness of sex‐specific aspects of epilepsy has increased, important gaps remain in their integration into routine care.
