Tubal occlusion via laparoscopy in Latin America: an evaluation of 8186 cases.
Ease of performance, safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic sterilization techniques are evaluated for 8186 procedures (6995 interval, 680 postabortion and 511 postpartum) performed in Latin America from June 1972 through February 1978. The tubes were occluded via electrocoagulation or application of the spring-loaded clip or the tubal ring. Less than 1% of the procedures were declared technical failures (ie, those which were not completed as planned). For all the tubal occlusion techniques, interval patients had the lowest rate of surgical complications. Pregnancy rates were low for the electrocoagulation and for the tubal ring techniques; patients sterilized by the spring-loaded clip, however, had a significantly higher pregnancy rate.

[Abortion or contraception (author's transl)].
The period immediately following an abortion, spontaneous or induced, has been considered favourable to the initiation of high efficicy contraception: sterilization, oral contraceptives, or intrauterine devices. The rate of post-abortal complications associated with these contraceptive methods was evaluated using data drawn from published and unpublished studies. The following conclusions were reached: sterilization is advisable only for women who do not desire additional children, and is obviously not recommended for young nulliparous women. The effective use of oral contraceptives requires a high motivational level and is therefore advisable only in cases where such motivation exists. The insertion of an intrauterine device seems to be the most adequate contraceptive method for women with low motivational level.
Estrogen metabolism and human papillomavirus-induced tumors of the larynx: chemo-prophylaxis with indole-3-carbinol.
A relationship was established between estradiol 16 alpha-hydroxylation, papillomavirus and its malignant sequelae. In this study, we determined that 16 alpha-hydroxylation was substantial in normal larynx and further increased in laryngeal papillomas. Estradiol or 16 alpha-hydroxyestrone stimulated proliferation in both kinds of cells while 2-hydroxyestrone was antiproliferative. Indole-3-carbinol, which induces 2-hydroxylation, abrogated the proliferative effects of estradiol. In immunocompromised mice, papilloma cysts formed in HPV-11 infected laryngeal tissue implanted under the renal capsules in 100% of control mice but only in 25% of mice fed indole-3-carbinol.
