Slovenia is like many other European countries where the older population is rapidly increasing and is expected to do so for another 15 years. But in Slovenia, 80% of people over 65 take part in ...programmes of various NGOs and non-profit organisations and are actively engaged in humanitarian organisations. As part of a special project "Older People for Older People", volunteers identify older people in need and provide assistance in co-operation with other organisations. The older population in Slovenia is active politically and across civil society. Nevertheless, many challenges remain, the greatest being to convince policymakers that older people can contribute significantly to a successful society.
Some investigations of IUD use have demonstrated impaired ability to become pregnant after removal, while others have not. None of these studies, however, have adequately considered such potentially ...influencing variables as age and a history of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). To study the effect of length of IUD use, IUD type and the modifying influences of age and PID history on time required to conceive, we followed women trying to become pregnant after removal of their IUD. Five hundred forty women in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia who were first fitted with an IUD between 1964 and 1972 and had their IUD removed in order to become pregnant were followed through 1980. We found no relationship between the duration of IUD use or type of IUD used, but increasing age and a history of PID each decreased the monthly probability of conception. These findings, along with other recent work, indicate that IUDs are a safe and efficacious contraceptive for women at low risk for sexually transmitted diseases.
V primerjalni študiji, ki je zajela 950 žensk, primerjajo avtorji uspešnost 15-mesečne uporabe novega materničnega vložka (MV) Multiload 250 Standard (ML 250) s pri nas splošno uporabljenim Copper T ...200 MV (Cu T 200). Po stopnjah odstranitev zaradi različnih vzrokov ML 250 ne odstopa bistveno od Cu T 200. Njegove prednosti pa so preprost način vložitve in možnost uporabe treh velikosti, kar razširi krog uporabnic.
