[Tianjin holds birth control commendation rally].

The Tianjin People's Government held a commendation rally on February 26 to commend 199 collectives and 407 individuals who distinguished themselves in birth control in 1980. "Huang Zhingang, 2nd secretary of the Tianjin Municipal CCP Committee; Hu Qili, secretary of the municipal CCP Committee and mayor; Liu Gang, secretary of the municipal CCP Committee and vice chairman of the municipal People's Congress Standing Committee; and Bai Hua, deputy mayor, presented banners and citations to the advanced collectives and individuals." Comrade Bai Hua addressed the rally. He said that the natural population growth rate of Tianjin in 1980 declined to 7.25/1000 and that about 195,000 couples applied for 1-child certificates. He hoped that in 1981 all residents would do a good job in controlling the population growth and make contributions to stabilizing the economy and accomplishing the 4 modernizations.

Definitive birth control and the physician--ethical issues.

We analyze the ethical issues related to the physician's role in informing about, advising, rejecting, or performing a definitive birth control procedure (sterilization). We define a rational request for tubal ligation, the limited delaying (or facilitating) role that guidelines for deciding on ligation should have, the justifiable reasons for rejecting a request, and the physician's obligations and options. We also consider the need to supply adequate information, the implications of recommending a second-best treatment, and the pivotal place of the "likelihood of regret" in medical decision-making.

[Birth control overseas].

After reminding the changes of ovarian cycle during sexual life, the authors propose some indications on the reversible means that can be used for birth control in the developing countries where they practice. As practicing is very peculiar to these countries and in order to enable married couples to decide freely upon different advisable possibilities, the authors underline the importance to develop all the educational ways and means on this topic.

Frequency and severity of premenstrual symptoms in women taking birth control pills.

A retrospective study of a wide range of premenstrual symptomatology using the Premenstrual Assessment Form found little difference between women taking a low-dose birth control pill and non-pill-takers. These data are in keeping with older, but narrower, studies of women taking high-dose pills and raise questions about mechanisms of symptomatic and subclinical premenstrual changes.

Quality of care given to first time birth control patients at a free clinic.

In an empirical study of the quality of care at a free clinic, criteria for optimal care for female first visits for birth control were established and 100 charts were reviewed, 50 in April 1974 and 50 in April 1975 with an interval in between of in-service training accompanied by new medical forms and procedures. An encouraging improvement in record keeping was observed. The authors feel it is important that free clinics concentrate on quality as well as quantity and accessibility of care.

Knowledge and use of birth control methods in active duty Army enlisted medical trainees.

This study was designed to determine the familiarity of medical advanced individual training (AIT) students with current methods of birth control and to evaluate the accessibility of these methods. A survey was distributed to 578 medical specialist AIT students assigned to Fort Sam Houston, Texas, for training. Results obtained show a lack of knowledge concerning the newer forms of contraceptives available. This study also indicates that barriers may exist that limit a soldier's ability to acquire prescription forms of contraception while in training.

Comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the diaphragm and birth control pill during the first year of use among suburban adolescents.

Little attention has been paid to the diaphragm as a contraceptive option for adolescents. To compare diaphragm and birth control pill use by adolescents, 124 females (aged 13-20 years) in a suburban-based adolescent health service were interviewed at least one year after receiving a contraceptive prescription. The 73 diaphragm choosers did not differ from the 51 pill choosers in age, race, or reason for their original visit to the health service. Diaphragm choosers, however, were better students, of higher socioeconomic status, and had had fewer prior pregnancies. In the year following prescription, continuous use for 12 months was reported by 43% of diaphragm choosers and 45% of pill choosers, with significantly more pill (26%) than diaphragm (8%) choosers reporting discontinued use for at least one month while remaining sexually active. Regular use (diaphragm every intercourse, missing less than or equal to 1 pill/month) was reported by 36% of diaphragm choosers compared to 88% of pill choosers; and at least one pregnancy during the year was reported by 15% of diaphragm choosers and 18% of pill choosers. At follow-up interviews, diaphragm subjects disliked the immediate annoyances of the diaphragm, and pill users expressed concern about the potential side effects of the pill. No single factor or set of factors correlated with continuous and regular use of either method. Because both methods present specific problems for certain patients, we suggest that in addition to the pill, the diaphragm should receive serious consideration as a contraceptive option for adolescents.

Placement of the Essure permanent birth control device with fluoroscopic guidance: a novel method for tubal sterilization.

An effective transcervical method for fluoroscopically guided fallopian tube occlusion has long been sought for female sterilization. The Essure permanent birth control device was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in November 2002 and is currently indicated for hysteroscopic placement. In a series of eight patients, bilateral Essure microcoils were placed with fluoroscopic guidance in seven patients for a success rate of 87.5%. One patient described peri- and postprocedure pelvic pain, otherwise no complications were identified. All patients returned to normal activities within 24 hours. Fluoroscopically guided transcervical tubal sterilization with the Essure microcoil device (Conceptus, San Carlos, CA) is a viable outpatient procedure.
