Levonorgestrel Intrauterine Device Use for Medical Indications in Nulliparous Adolescents and Young Adults

Journal of Adolescent Health, 2021
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are highly effective at preventing pregnancy. Levonorgestrel (LNG) IUDs also have beneficial effects on menstrual bleeding and abdominal and pelvic pain.

A hybrid Bayesian network for medical device risk assessment and management [PDF]

, 2022
ISO 14971 is the primary standard used for medical device risk management. While it specifies the requirements for medical device risk management, it does not specify a particular method for performing risk management. Hence, medical device manufacturers are free to develop or use any appropriate methods for managing the risk of medical devices.

Management of a perforated levonorgestrel-medicated intrauterine device--a pharmacokinetic study: Case report [PDF]

Human Reproduction, 2003
Intrauterine contraception is a widely used, highly effective method of birth control. Uterine perforation is a serious albeit rare complication with the use of an intrauterine device (IUD). Although uterine perforation by the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) has already been described, no plasma LNG concentrations in this setting

Case Study: Fetal Breathing Movements as a Proxy for Fetal Lung Maturity Estimation [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Premature births can lead to complications, with fetal lung immaturity being a primary concern. Currently, fetal lung maturity (FLM) requires an invasive surfactant extraction procedure between the 32nd and 39th weeks of pregnancy. Unfortunately, there is no non-invasive method for FLM assessment.
