The singlemost popular moment in Africa (andmany other regions) to initiate family planning may well be the 6-week postpartum clinic visit, when mothers also bring infants to begin the crucial primary immunization series. A 6-week start does indeed work well for mothers accepting long-acting, reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as implants and intrauterine devices (IUDs), because thesemethod...

Based on rectangle-shaped structures, we create a dual-band metamaterial perfect absorber (DMPA) in the optical region. The independent-polarization absorption is significant advantage as well simple integrated progress for constituent materials. In particular, can be obtained to over 90% bandwidth of 140 THz (from 608 748 THz), which still remained oblique incident angles TE-polarization. Our ...

background: sexual affairs are one of the physiological needs affecting human health. sexual functioning disorders can reduce individual’s capabilities and creativities. sexual relations are in the center of women’s quality of life. the most important family planning is to prevent unintended pregnancies. injectable contraceptives protect women exposed to many complications and mortality due to ...

Background: Until now the existing male contraceptive methods are periodic abstinence, interrupted intercourse (coitus interruptus), use of condoms, and vasectomy. Another alternative method contraception for men is hormone depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) as has been done in female contraceptives. Research with DMPA at a dose 1.25 mg was effective reducing concentration viability sperm...

INTRODUCTION This is the protocol for an ancillary study to the multicentre Evidence for Contraceptive Options and HIV Outcomes (ECHO) Trial, a three-arm randomised trial comparing the effects of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), the levonorgestrel (LNG) implant and the copper intrauterine device (IUD) on HIV incidence (NCT02550067 pre-results). The ancillary study will compare other no...

Alternating Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers of barium arachidate (AA) and barium dimyristoyl phosphatidate (DMPA) were used to elucidate the factors that control depth resolution in molecular depth profiling experiments. More specifically, thin (4.4 nm) layers of DMPA were embedded in relatively thick (~50 nm) multilayer stacks of AA, resulting in a well-defined delta-layer model system closely r...
