Infrared Thermography Appearance of Abdominal Wall Endometriosis: A Useful Tool for Diagnosis by Francisco das Chagas Medeiros in Gynecology Research & Womens Health

Endometrioma is a well circumscribed mass of endometriosis that occurs when ectopic endometrial tissue (gland and stroma), which can respond to ovarian hormonal stimulation, grows outside the uterus [1]. Endometrioma in a surgical scar develops in 0.1% of women who have undergone cesarean section, and 25% of these women have concomitant pelvic endometriosis [2]. Its clinical diagnosis in the abdominal wall has been confused with abscess, lipoma, hematoma, sebaceous cyst, suture granuloma, inguinal hernia, incisional hernia, desmoid tumor, sarcoma, lymphoma, or primary and metastatic cancer [2,3].

Besides fatal fat embolism,

Psychological Health Status and Oral Health Outcomes of Pregnant Women: Practical Implications by Irosha Perera in Womens Health Journal_ Gynecology Open Access Journals Opinion Pregnancy marks an important milestone in the life cycle of a woman garnered by a milieu of physiological, psychological, emotional, social and even spiritual health needs [1]. Ensuring safe motherhoods and pregnancy outcomes for a healthy mother and a baby have become priorities for health policy makers and health care delivery models both in developed and developing country scenarios. Moreover, pregnancy denotes an opportune time for intergenerational investment in health outcomes. It is well known that physiological changes that are taking place during pregnancy could give rise to demanding psychological health concerns among pregnant women compounded by their social determinates such as i.e. level of education, marital status and satisfaction, level of income, parity, minority status, having heal

Exploring Young People’s Views on Emergency Contraceptives by Osei-Tutu EM in Womens Health_ Gynecology Open access Journal Abstract The study sought to ascertain whether respondents know the difference between regular and emergency contraceptives and solicit their views on emergency contraceptives. The participants for this study were 22 undergraduate students of the University of Ghana (15 males and 7 females) between the ages of 18 and 25 years who volunteered to participate in the study. This study is exploratory in nature and gathered qualitative data through semistructured interviews. The interviews were electronically recorded and transcribed. All the respondents could explain what regular contraceptives are, but only four were able to define what ECs are. Some students do not know the difference between regular and emergency contraceptives. Those students who were not able to define what ECs are knew that they are used for preventing unwanted pregnancies. Re
