Psychiatry related information on Pregnancy, Unwanted

• The Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS; Rust & Golombok, 1986), the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI; Morey, 1991), and a questionnaire regarding sexual experiences, number of unwanted pregnancies, number of unsafe sexual partners, and sexual abuse history, were administered to 200 psychology students [1].

High impact information on Pregnancy, Unwanted

• Mifepristone is a highly effective postcoital contraceptive agent that, if used more widely, could help reduce the number of unplanned and unwanted pregnancies [2].
• We studied the effects of the progesterone antagonist RU 486 in 100 women with early, unwanted pregnancy (within 10 days of the expected onset of the missed menstrual period) [3].
• Mifepristone (RU486), which binds with high affinity to both progesterone and glucocorticosteroid receptors (PR and GR), is well known for its use in the termination of unwanted pregnancy, but other activities including neuroprotection have been suggested [4].
• RU486 (mifepristone), a potent antagonist at progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors (PR and GR), is well known for its use in the termination of unwanted pregnancies, the potential development of oral contraceptives, treatment of certain cancers and other activities [5].
• An occasional treatment with mifepristone in combination with misoprostol could provide an option for preventing unwanted pregnancies in women who are late for EC [6].

Associations of Pregnancy, Unwanted with chemical compounds

• Misoprostol is used by women in Brazil in case of unwanted pregnancy to attempt abortion [7].
• This study shows that combined hormone therapy with low doses of transdermal estrogen patches and different oral progestogens reduces menopausal symptoms and also safeguards against unwanted pregnancies in the perimenopausal period [8].
• This effect provides an explanation for the decreased uterotropic action of mestranol in rats pretreated with phenobarbital and may provide an explanation for unwanted pregnancies in women taking oral contraceptives in combination with phenobarbital or other enzyme-inducing drugs [9].
• Over the Christmas and New Year period the Health Education Authority launched a sexual health promotion campaign aimed at increasing the awareness of and reducing the incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancy [10].

• BACKGROUND: Part of a gynaecology nurse's work is caring for teenagers with sexual health problems, including unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) [13].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Pregnancy, Unwanted

• We present meta-analyses of randomized trials comparing doses of mifepristone for emergency contraception from 5 mg to 600 mg, with regard to the efficacy to prevent unwanted pregnancies [14].
• Taking into account the high abortion rate obtained, we could conclude that misoprostol alone is a valid method for terminating unwanted pregnancies in adolescents under the age of 18 years [15].
