چکیده
(Continued on p. 2) Large European Data Base Indicates STM Effective Method of Family Planning Since 1984, German researchers from the University of Dusseldorf and the University of Heidelberg have been developing and analyzing a data set of menstrual cycles collected from multiple European sites. This long-term menstrual cycle data base (of 32,788 prospectively collected menstrual cycles) was produced by 1,551 women who were taught and used the European Sympto-Thermal Method (STM). The European STM system follows a double check rule for the beginning and end of the estimated time of fertility (see Figure 1). The double check for the beginning of the fertile window includes the first detection of change in cervical vaginal fluid (CVF) plus the earliest shift in basal body temperature (BBT) from the previous 12 menstrual cycles minus 7 days. The end of the estimated fertile phase is the shift in BBT plus 3 days or the peak in CVF plus 3 days, which ever comes last (see Figure 1). From this data set they have provided results on effectiveness to avoid pregnancy, accuracy of biological indicators of fertility, and time to pregnancy data with use of the European double check STM.1

متن کاملSero-Epidemiology as a Tool to Screen Populations for Exposure to Mycobacterium ulcerans
BACKGROUND Previous analyses of sera from a limited number of Ghanaian Buruli ulcer (BU) patients, their household contacts, individuals living in BU non-endemic regions as well as European controls have indicated that antibody responses to the M. ulcerans 18 kDa small heat shock protein (shsp) reflect exposure to this pathogen. Here, we have investigated to what extent inhabitants of regions i...
