This document summarizes the introduction and status of the female condom programme in South Africa. It was introduced in 1998 across 8 provinces in response to increasing HIV prevalence. Over 10,000 family planning clients accepted the female condom during the pilot phase. The programme has since expanded to over 200 sites nationally and distributed over 2 million female condoms annually by 2007. Successes include an organized introduction strategy and monitoring system. Challenges include keeping up with demand and addressing myths about the method. Evaluation studies are underway to assess the method's impact on dual protection use.

The female condom
The document discusses various types of female barrier contraceptives including the female condom. It describes the female condom FC, introduced in 1992, which is made of polyurethane and lubricated internally. It also describes the FC2 introduced in 2005 which is made of nitrile and transparent. The document outlines the correct insertion and removal of the female condom and discusses its effectiveness, advantages in preventing STDs and pregnancy, acceptability, and improvements in contraceptive usage. It also notes some drawbacks and alternatives under development.
Condoms
Condoms are barrier contraceptive methods that prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases by forming a sheath that covers the penis or lines the inside of the vagina. The earliest condoms date back to 1000 BC in Egypt and were made from animal gut. Modern condoms are typically made from latex or polyurethane and can be 97% effective at preventing pregnancy when used correctly. Their usefulness in preventing most sexually transmitted diseases has been scientifically proven, so using condoms is important for sexual health.
Barrier methods for Contraception
This document provides information on various contraceptive methods including barrier methods like condoms, diaphragms, and vaginal sponges. It describes how each method works, advantages and disadvantages, proper usage, and failure rates. Barrier methods prevent pregnancy by blocking sperm from entering the uterus. Condoms are the most commonly used barrier method and can be male or female condoms. Diaphragms are shallow cups that cover the cervix while sponges are small foam devices inserted into the vagina. Spermicides are chemical methods that can be used with barriers to kill sperm.
Barrier methods of contraception
This document discusses various barrier contraceptive methods. It describes barrier methods as preventing pregnancy by blocking the egg and sperm from meeting and notes they have higher failure rates than hormonal methods due to design and human error. The main barrier methods discussed are male condoms, female condoms, diaphragms, vaginal sponges, and spermicides. Advantages and disadvantages of each method are provided.
Sterilization
This document summarizes sterilization procedures for both males and females. It defines sterilization as a medical procedure that makes a person unable to reproduce. The main types of sterilization discussed are vasectomy for males, which involves removing a piece of the vas deferens, and tubectomy for females, which involves blocking or sealing the fallopian tubes. The advantages of sterilization include it being a permanent form of birth control, while the disadvantages include risks of infection, pain, and psychological effects. Guidelines for sterilization in India are also outlined, and it is noted that sterilization remains very common in India due to social and cultural factors favoring female over male sterilization procedures.

A Synthesis and Systematic Review of Policies on Training and Deployment of H...
The health of mothers, newborns and children – the subjects of two Millennium Development Goals – are central to any country’s overall well-being. However, recent estimates show many African countries are facing obstacles in achieving these health targets for their most vulnerable populations. This is largely because Africa is enduring human resources for health (HRH) crisis, with most countries in the region lacking sufficient personnel to deliver basic health care to their populations, especially in rural areas. The capacity of the region to respond to this crisis is severely constrained by inadequate funds and infrastructure. Effective planning for and management of the scarce HRH available, particularly pertaining to maternal, newborn and child health, are thus of paramount importance to Africa’s governments. To inform such planning, a systematic review of available evidence on training and deployment policies for doctors, nurses and midwives for maternal-child health in rural Africa was completed, and is described in this presentation.

Desk Review- FCT Towards Attaining the Universal Health Coverage(UHC).pdf
Healthcare remains one of the greatest needs of man all through time and in considering healthcare,
recourse has to be paid to the ethics, the people, the process and other intangible considerations. These
considerations are responsible for health care being possible in the frst place and also responsible
for the cost of healthcare which is known to – sometimes – be out of the reach of the common
man. According to IOM (1993), access to health care means having the timely use of personal health
services to achieve the best health outcomes.
Good practices in combating female genital mutilation
The chain approach in the Netherlands aims to prevent female genital mutilation through collaboration between key actors. It involves professionals, communities from practising countries, and key persons to act as liaisons. Protocols guide each actor's role in prevention, protection, prosecution, and care. Evaluations found the approach effective in training professionals and reaching at-risk groups. However, measuring full impact is difficult without baseline data, and financing remains a challenge now that responsibility lies with municipalities.

This local data was then used to garner interest, inform policy changes in Uganda and Madagascar, and scale up programs. Further research is exploring expanding this model to other contexts.

Topic: Patient Safety in the Hospitalized Setting during a Pandemic
Clinical Problem: How does the shortage of PPE during the pandemic affect patient safety compared to before the pandemic.
· Ever since the February 2020, the US has been faced with a severe shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) necessary for healthcare workers battling the COVID-19 pandemic. Without proper PPE, there is an increased risk of become ill which can subsequently reduce the quality and quantity of care provided to hospitalized patients (Cohen & Rodgers, 2020).
· According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention there has been a total number of 27,737,875 COVID-19 cases in the United States and 491,455 deaths within the last 30 days. The shortage of PPE has had a major effect on the nursing practice. One of the workarounds has been the reuse of single-use disposable masks or N95 respirators. It is reported that 27% of nurses have been in contact with positive COVID-19 patients without wearing appropriate PPE (Cohen & Rodgers, 2020).
The Research Process
· For this assignment, it was important to have a clear and relevant clinical problem that tremendously impacts nursing.
· Once we discussed different ideas, we arrived at a mutual agreement regarding our clinical problem and PICOT question that we will focus the group RUA on.
· Since we all completed previous research on the same clinical problem but had different PICOT questions, we peer reviewed articles that were relevant to the decided group PICOT question.
· We approved articles as a group that were published within the last 5 years.
· We all had assigned parts of the RUA to focus on but helped our team members as needed.
The Research Process, Cont’d.
What went well?
The group communicated efficiently and in a timely manner. We used different means of communication such as group chat, email and google docs, that allowed us to proficiently execute this assignment.
Barriers Encountered
When compiling references, there were duplicated articles that had to be eliminated. There were a few misunderstandings as far as the clarity of the assignment however, it was quickly resolved.
What is still needed?
Since the shortage of PPE is such a current clinical problem, research is still developing as the issue becomes resolved. Therefore, further evaluation and analysis is required to fully understand the magnitude of this issue.
Correlation to Identified Clinical Issue
Overall, our research findings as a group correlates to our clinical iss ...

The presentation discussed how the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic has affected patient safety in hospital settings. Key points include:
- Without proper PPE, healthcare workers face increased risk of illness, reducing the quality and quantity of care provided to patients.
- 27% of nurses reported exposure to COVID-19 patients without proper PPE due to shortages requiring reuse of disposable masks.
- Effective PPE decontamination methods like ultraviolet irradiation and hydrogen peroxide are needed due to shortages and reuse.
- PPE shortages compromise patient and staff safety, suggesting practices to ensure adequate supplies and prevent reuse of contaminated equipment.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
