The deliberate act of mentally envisioning a sexual scenario involving a target and/or behavior is a normal part of human sexuality. The content of the mental imagery or sexual fantasy frequently reflects one’s sexual interest and is experienced as sexually arousing [1]. In fact, some studies have shown a positive correlation between the experience of arousing sexual fantasies and sexual satisfaction [2].

Purpose: External pelvic chemo-radiotherapy and brachytherapy were studied in a consecutive series of advanced cervical carcinomas. Conventional brachytherapy and image-guided adaptive brachytherapy were compared. Material and Methods: From a single regional cancer center 272 consecutive patients with advanced cervical cancer were recruited. One hundred thirty-four patients were treated with external beam radiotherapy and conventional conformal brachytherapy (BT) and 138 patients with image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT). A comprehensive dosimetric study was performed in the IGABT-group. Predictive and prognostic factors were defined. Toxicity of the organs at risk were evaluated by the CTCAE-grading system. Results: The mean follow-up was 59 months. Tumor size was in mean 43 mm. The mean external dose was 52 Gy and the total dose to the clinical target volume was 78 Gy. Sixty-five percent of the patients received weekly cisplatin. The mean overall treatment time was 44 days. The median number of brachytherapy fractions was four and in 86 patients in the IGABT-group interstitial needles were applied. The primary local control was 98%. The overall pelvic control was 86%. The overall recurrence rate was 29%. The overall 5-year survival rate was 65% and cancer-specific survival rate 69%. Prognostic factors were FIGO-stage, pelvic and distant control of the disease. Late serious toxicity of the bladder and intestine were rare with only 3% in the IGABT-group. Conclusion: The local and pelvic controls were excellent. The IGABT was an important part of the treatment schedule with regard to large tumors and adenocarcinomas. Late toxicity was significantly lower after treatment with IGABT compared with BT.

An increasing number of Americans are experiencing homelessness, with the latest count estimating that over one-half million people were living in the street or occupying areas not meant for human occupation in one single night. While a general portrait of the homeless population tends to highlight black or older men, almost 40 percent of the homeless population are now women. Among these are the growing numbers of Latina and Black women. In this manuscript, we present a community based participatory research study approach designed to explore the experiences of Latina and Black women living in skid row Los Angeles, frequently recognized as the “homeless capital. Of the U.S. The finding from the mixed quantitative and qualitative study reveals similarities and salient differences on the factors that the women perceive led them on a path to homelessness. Included in the narratives are how the Black women have learned to navigate various support systems, in contrast to how the Latina women have struggled to gain entry into the system. The women’s narratives present a portrait of structural and cultural inequities, and a need for interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration with diverse teams in order to develop programs the serve the needs of these new homeless populations. The findings call for urgent need to address systems of inequity and bias, along with needed policy changes.

The menstrual blood considered impure, dirty and contaminated in Jumla, a place of research for menstrual restriction and its impact on empowerment where the qualitative method, feminist ethnography employed, through three different methods: history/timeline, participant’s observation and In-Depth Interviews. The restriction during menstruation is very complex, vary from person to person, contradictory position between practice to practice within same person or family. The participant followed 29 types of restrictions related with food, touch and mobility during their menstruation. Because of these restrictions, girls and women deprived from access to food, water, shelter, mobility, hygiene, health, education. As a result, they felt isolated, inferior, disempower, deprivation from participation in school, social activities/celebrations and losing dignity. These situations contributed for compromising rights assured by the constitution of Nepal and considered as violation of human rights. Here, the restrictions during menstruation played role to construct and shaped the power among girls and boys. As a result, the all aspects of the girls and women’s life affected and eventually they deprived from the empowerment.

study entitled `menstrual restrictions and its impact on education’ has done in the accessible village of Chandanath municipality in Jumla where employed qualitative approach, post positivist world view by using multiple methods; history talking/timeline, participatory observation and In-Depth Interview. Participants followed the restrictions during menstruation no matter whether the participants male or female, educated or uneducated or any characteristics. The restrictions grouped in three categories: touch, eat and mobility/participation. All kinds of restrictions have direct and indirect negative impacts on learning and education in many ways: embarrassing learning condition at school, home and huts, constraints of time, facilities at school, home and hut, fear of leaking, deprived from studying, poor performance and school dropped out. The menstrual restrictions and its impact on education has overlapped with the empowerment. Thus, it has significance value to improve the policy on education specially for girls. This study has done for the academic purpose and completed with limited resources.

Background : With the increase in fertility problems and delayed childbearing, demand for infertility treatments has been rising . Today, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most successful infertility treatment but it is costly. To meet rising demand for infertility treatment many markets have seen an increased entry of infertility clinics. Concerns have been raised of the effect of high per-treatment cost and rising competitive pressures on the outcomes of infertility treatments. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between competitive pressures and prices charged by clinics for in vitro fertilization treatments as well as the effect of prices and competition on multiple gestations. Method : This is a retrospective analysis of 2012-2014 clinic-level data in the United States. This study collects in vitro fertilization prices and combines the price data with the ART Fertility Clinic Success Rates Reports published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Herfindahl– Hirschman Index (HHI) is a widely-used measure of competition within a market. Regression analysis is used to estimate the relationship between HHI and price variables. The effect of prices and competitive pressures on multiple gestations is estimated. Results : Multivariate regression results show that competitive pressures do decrease prices charged by IVF clinics (p-value<0.1). IVF refund programs that reimburse couples for multiple failures are more likely to be offered in more concentrated markets (p-value<0.05) and larger clinics (p-value<0.01). Lower prices translate into lower multiple rates for younger women Controlling for prices, competitive pressures decrease multiple rates for younger women (below 35 years of age) but increase multiple rates for older women (above 40 years of age) (p-value<0.1). Conclusions : Lower IVF prices translate into better quality as measured by the rates of multiples for younger women undergoing infertility treatments. Effect of competitive pressures on quality of care is ambiguous especially after we control for treatment cost. For older women such pressures may lead to more embryo transferred and higher rates of multiples. Further research is needed to identify the relationship between competition and quality of medical care in infertility and other markets.

Women are at present experiencing unique challenges in the war in Syria and in neighbouring countries with autocratic regimes, especially in two areas so far at least partly neglected in research and humanitarian interventions. Prisons especially in Syria and Iran are not only a risk factor for the present spread of the present Covid-19 pandemic, but have exposed women to torture, sexual violence, forced disappearances, and other traumatic events, that are further aggravated by factors such as separation, and impact on the family. Perpetrators usually go unpunished. In our paper, we discuss problems and health implication, the context of international human rights and humanitarian standards, and measures to address redress and rehabilitation based on women survivors initiatives qualitative research we had conducted in several countries.

Nationally and internationally, maternal mortality is an important indicator of the quality of a nation’s healthcare [1]. Recent statistics reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates an increase in the pregnancy-related maternal mortality ratio (MMR) to 17.0 deaths per 100,000 live births from 2011–2013 [2], while in Europe and maternal death rates are declining [3,4]. When analyzing the demographics of maternal deaths in the U.S., it appears pregnancies in rural environments are more at risk, with some maternal mortality rates in rural areas as high as 28.7 deaths per 100,000 live births [5]. A study by Kozhimannil and colleagues [6] demonstrated a rise in the maternal mortality and morbidity of both rural and urban areas, but rural mothers had a 9% greater chance of an adverse outcome compared to the urban mothers. The WHO has identified several factors that account for 75% of all maternal deaths: severe bleeding and infections after childbirth, pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, complications from delivery, and unsafe abortion [7]. The majority of these conditions could be prevented if recognized and treated by a skilled medical professional and if birth takes place in a sanitary place early enough (e.g. hospital), which can be difficult if the patient lives in an area with a shortage of skilled healthcare providers or a long distance from these professionals, as is often the case in rural settings. The purpose of this article is to examine the differences in maternal death rates between rural and urban Illinois stratified by urbanization level and race/ethnicity from 2007 to 2016.
