Abstract

Objective: To determine risk factors for incident bacterial vaginosis (BV) in young Thai women. Study Design: Prospective data from a cohort of 1522 women aged 18 to 35 years, who were enrolled in a study of hormonal contraception and HIV acquisition, were used to evaluate potential risk factors for BV, as diagnosed by Amsel criteria. Results: The median prevalence of BV from 3 to 24 months of follow-up visits was 2.5%. The BV incidence was 10.0 per 100-woman years. Statistically significant factors in multivariable analysis were sex during menstruation [hazard ratio (HR), 1.80; 95% CI, 1.11-2.92], male partners having sex with other women (HR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.45-2.98), cigarette smoking (HR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.08-2.98), and trichomoniasis (HR, 15.68; 95% CI, 4.95-49.68). Intravaginal practices were not associated with incident BV in unadjusted or adjusted analysis. Conclusions: This study supports the association between sexual behaviors and the incident BV. Failure to detect an association between intravaginal practices and incident BV warrants further studies in high-risk populations or in women with a higher prevalence of intravaginal practices.

Abstract

Research suggests that individuals who restrict their dietary intake may be predisposed to eating disorders. A new study investigates whether the Temperament and Character Inventory can distinguish certain aspects of restrained eating in different personality profiles. It is shown that individuals with low self-directedness and high self-transcendence may exhibit a tendency towards a restrained eating style.

Abstract

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to prioritize applicator design attributes among women in the Dominican Republic and South Africa, and to determine how preferences differed based on sociodemographic variables. Goal: The goal was to identify acceptable microbicide applicator designs in 2 low-resource settings. Study Design: We surveyed 895 women, randomly sampled from clinics in the Dominican Republic (n = 449) and South Africa (n = 446), with questions on sociodemographics, applicator attribute preferences, and price/design tradeoffs. Results: Single-use design was the most valued attribute, and reusable design and low price were the least valued attributes in both populations. Preference for single-use design was associated with concern about reusable applicators spreading germs, secondary or higher education, older age, having children, and perception of moderate to high HIV risk. Conclusions: Acceptability factors related to microbicide delivery mechanisms should continue to be evaluated among potential microbicide users to directly inform product development and introduction of microbicides.

Abstract

Women who get breast implants appear to have different characteristics than women who do not and this needs to be taken into account when assessing the health risks of breast implants. A study of 80 women who had breast implants and 3,490 who did not revealed that the women with breast implants drank more alcohol, got pregnant at a younger age, were more likely to use contraceptives and hair dyes and had more sexual partners. They were also more likely to be thin than women without breast implants., Objective. -- to compare selected characteristics of women with and without augmentation mammaplasty to identify differences between these 2 groups of women. Design and Study Participants. -- White women identified as controls in previously conducted population-based, case-control studies formed the study population for the present cross-sectional analysis (N=3570). Main Outcome Measure. -- Interview information on selected characteristics was compared between women who had received augmentation mammaplasty (n=80) and other women (n=3490) using the prevalence odds ratio (pOR) as the measure of association. Results. -- Women with breast implants were more likely to drink a greater average number of alcoholic drinks per week (for [is greater than or equal to] 7 drinks vs 0 drinks: pOR=2.9, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.5-5.5), be younger at first pregnancy (for age [less than] 20 years vs age 20-29 years: pOR=1.6, 95% CI=1.0-2.7), be younger at first birth (for age [less than] 20 years vs age 20-29 years: pOR=1.9, 95% Cl=1.1-3.3), have a history of terminated pregnancies (for [is greater than or equal to] 1 termination vs 0 terminations: pOR=2.0, 95% CI=1.2-3.4), have ever used oral contraceptives (pOR=2.2,95% CI=1.0-4.7), have ever used hair dyes (pOR=4.5, 95% CI=1.3-15.4), and have had a greater lifetime number of sexual partners (for [is greater than or equal to] 14 partners vs [is greater than or equal to] 4 partners: pOR=8.9, 95% CI=3.1-25.5) than other women. A history of smoking, lactation, high blood pressure, or thyroid disorders, as well as the number of pregnancies, full-term births, or miscarriages, differed little between women with and without implants. Women with breast augmentation were much less likely to be heavy than other women (for [is greater than or equal to] 74 kg vs [less than] 56 kg: pOR=0.1, 95% CI=0.03-0.3). Conclusion. -- The differences we found between women with and without breast implants suggest that consideration and evaluation of confounding factors in future studies will help to clarify some of the long-term health consequences of having breast implants.

Abstract

Marie-Madeleine d'Aubray was born on Jul 22, 1630, in Paris, France. She was a woman of exceptional beauty, with dark-gold hair, white skin, a good nose and lovely face. However, she could easily transform herself into a wicked woman, capable of committing gruesome acts such as dancing atop 30 burning cats roasting to death and committing affairs. Marie-Madeleine was sent to the guillotine, but not before telling her story to a priest and repenting for her acts.

Abstract

This article reports on an hermeneutic interpretive study of letters 18 women wrote to each other annually for 25 years, from 1968 to 1993. Six themes related to personal success and achievement emerged from readings and systematic study of this set of more than 250 letters. The stories in these letters connect the private and public worlds; they communicate the events experienced, things hoped for, and things not done.

133. Document analysis: the contrast between official case records and the journal of a woman on welfare

Author

Abstract

This article contrasts the journal writings of Dorothy Thompson, a woman on welfare, with the official agency case records and an oral tradition handed down by successive caseworkers. The record and oral tradition portray Dorothy as an undeserving, offensive, neglectful mother while Dorothy's journal reveals a strong-willed and valiant woman struggling with circumstances she cannot understand. The clash between the official ideologies contained in the case record and Dorothy's lived experience is startling and very much to the detriment of Dorothy and her family. The power is in the social welfare system and not with Dorothy, and her life becomes a documented tragedy, though her humanity endures and makes her story bearable and sometimes uplifting.

Abstract

Objective: We investigated whether men who were under the influence of alcohol when visiting female sex workers (FSW) were at greater risk for sexually transmitted infections (STI) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Study: A cross-sectional analysis using baseline data from a randomized controlled trial of an HIV prevention intervention for high-risk men in Mumbai, India. Results: The overall HIV prevalence among 1741 men sampled was 14%; 64% had either a confirmed STI or HIV; 92% reported sex with an FSW, of whom 66% reported having sex while under the influence of alcohol (SUI). SUI was associated with unprotected sex (odds ratio [OR]: 3.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.3-4.1), anal sex (OR: 1.5; 1.1-2.0), and more thanl0 FSW partners (OR: 2.2; 1.8-2.7). SUI was independently associated with having either an STI or HIV (OR: 1.5; 1.2-1.9). Conclusion: Men who drink alcohol when visiting FSWs engage in riskier behavior and are more likely to have HIV and STIs. Prevention programs in India need to raise awareness of this relationship.
