Abstract

The IUCD, primarily in the form of copper IUD is used by more than 150 million women around the world, making it the most widely used reversible method of contraception. The objective of this study is to do double blind clinical trial to compare the side effects of Copper-T and Cu 375 IUCD in women using contraceptive method and had used no contraception before. A total of 80 women of reproductive age group who are sexually active and who wanted to practice some contraceptive method were included in the study. After filling Performa speculum examination was also done and all the contra indications for the fitting of IUCD were ruled out. In this comparative study the effectiveness and side effects of two copper releasing IUCDs, Copper-T and Cu 375 IUCD was observed. Pelvic inflammatory disease occurred more often with Cu 375 IUCD than other group. Dysmenorrhoea was also experienced more with Cu 375 IUCD user than Copper-T. Menorrhagia rate was also high in Cu 375 IUCD users. The only case of uterine perforation was in the user of Copper-T. It is concluded from this study that Copper-T is a highly effective method of contraception than Cu 375 IUCD with good patient acceptance and lesser side effects.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
