Norethisterone oenanthate as an injectable contraceptive: use of a modified dose schedule.

Norethisterone oenanthate (NET-OEN) was given as an injectable contraceptive to 295 healthy women over 1606 woman-months. A modified injection schedule was used. There were no pregnancies, and the 12-month, life-table, use-related discontinuation rate was 39.1/100 users. Menstrual disturbance (10.8/100 women), minor side effects (13.5/100 women), and personal reasons (12.0/100 women) were the main causes of use-related discontinuation. There was no difference in use-related discontinuation rates between women receiving their first injection during a normal menstrual period and those receiving it immediately after a pregnancy. There were no serious side effects. The use of NET-OEN in certain groups of women is recommended, particularly in those in need of highly effective contraception, who cannot or do not wish to take oral contraceptives, who are lactating, or who are awaiting hospital admission for sterilisation.

Norethisterone oenanthate as an injectable contraceptive: a study of patients discontinuing treatment.

Two hundred and ninety-five women were enrolled in a study of norethisterone oenanthate (NET-OEN) as an injectable contraceptive. One hundred and twenty-four patients who discontinued this contraceptive have been studied in detail. The main reasons for use-related closures of method were menstrual abnormality (22 patients), minor side-effects (23 patients), personal reasons (22 patients) with 18-month life-table net discontinuation rates of 14.7/100 women, 13.5/100 women, 14.2/100 women. There were no accidental pregnancies. The probability of discontinuing treatment was not affected by age, parity, time of starting treatment or previous contraception. Sixty-nine per cent of all discontinuations occurred in the first four months of treatment. There were no serious complications.

Localized crusting as an artefact.

Four patients are reported, two with gross crusting of the nose and two with gross crusting of the lips considered to be artefacts. The crusting was easily removed using soft paraffin or Viscopaste.

Population changes in enteric bacteria and other microorganisms during aerobic thermophilic windrow composting.

Composting of wastes from swine feeding operations was studied. The effects of the frequency of turning the wastes and addition of straw to improve the physical structure were studied to determine the most effective technique to rapidly increase the temperature and, consequently, destroy coliforms and Salmonella. Four different treatments were studied; the results showed that, with addition of 5% (wt/wt) straw and mechanical turning of the compost 20 times per week, the temperature reached 60 C within 3 days and enteric bacteria were destroyed within 14 days.
