Practical Recommendations on the Management of Issues Related to the Levonorgestrel 52mg Intrauterine System: A Delphi Panel: OAJBS Publishers

Practical Recommendations on the Management of Issues Related to the Levonorgestrel 52mg Intrauterine System: A Delphi Panel by Thais Emy Ushikusa* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)


 

Objective: To gather the routine practice of Brazilian physicians with large experience on the Levonorgestrel 52mg intrauterine system (LNG IUS) use in order to generate practical recommendations on how to manage common aspects related to it.

Material and Methods: Twenty gynecologists with large experience with LNG IUS answered 39 questions grouped into five main topics: exams before the procedure, technical aspects of the device placement, practical recommendations, irregular bleeding, and pregnancy. A second round of questions was carried when responses were very divergent.

Results: Eighteen panelists responded to the questions. Recommendations that had more than 90% of agreement were i) the gynecological exam is the most important assessment before the insertion of LNG IUS; ii) in case of expulsion, a new device could be inserted; iii) there is no minimum age after menarche to use LNG IUS as a contraceptive, and iv) the device can be maintained after menopause. All the panelists responded that the duration of the insertion procedure was less than 10 minutes. Some topics did not reach more than 50% of agreement.

Conclusion: Most aspects related to LNG IUS usage reached an agreement in terms of clinical practices among physicians with different backgrounds, and also tend to correlate to the available guidelines. However, despite the availability of LNG IUS in Brazil for many years, there is still some disagreement regarding routine practices. There is a need for continuous education of physicians and the standardization of certain procedures to expand the use of this contraceptive method.

Review on Analysis of Breast Tumor with Methods of Treatment by Nagham Mahmood Aljamali* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Breast malignance is the greatest public in ladies, with a high incidence in North America and Eastern Europe, medium in Southern Europe and the Middle East and low in the Far East. Breast malignance is the second most common malignance in the world after lung malignance, and since it happens a lot, the doctors asked the women to examine themselves by themselves, in order to discover the signs of the disease early before it spreads. It is possible that this disease can be treated after being diagnosed by a specialized doctor and determining the type of tumor in the breast, and the surgeon removes the breast completely and starts chemotherapy about 6 doses, then radiotherapy, how many sessions will be determined by the doctor, and then hormonal therapy, a medicine called Tamoxafin or any medicine determined by the doctor, and it is possible.

Assessment of Medication Errors in Emergency Ward at Nekemte Referral Hospital, West Ethiopia by Balisa Mosisa* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Medication error is defined as failure in the treatment process that leads to or has the potential to lead to harm to the patient. It may occur at each five stages of drug ordering and delivery including prescription, transcription, dispensing, and administration or monitoring. Prevalence of medication error in healthcare settings have been found that they were common in hospitals. A significant proportion of medication errors are associated with actual or potentially harmful effects. https://biomedscis.com/fulltext/assessment-of-medication-errors-in-emergency-ward-at-nekemte-referral-hospital-west-ethiopia.ID.000398.php To Know More About Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science Please Visit: Biomedscis Are Click on:   https://Biomedscis.Com/

Facile Synthesis of Chitosan Nanoparticle with Different Features and Histopathological Ultrastructural Study on The Effect of Its Bio-complex with Bovine Serum Albumin in Mice Liver by Maged El-Kemary* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)   We have synthesized chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) with different characteristics using ionic gelation method. Results showed that the synthesized CS-NPs with different concentrations of trisodium polyphosphate (TPP) are irregular – spherical shaped with narrow size distribution and high stability. The microporous chitosan was also synthesized with new features characterized with different techniques as SEM, EDX, FTIR and BET. The synthesized microporous chitosan has a surface area and pore volume of 245.571m 2 /g and 0.155cm 3 /g respectively. Its microporous surface is functionalized with carboxyl and amine groups. Histopathological and ultrastructural studies of mice liver were performed using optical and scanning electron micro
