Extractions: Registered: Oct 2001 posted October 19, 2001 06:30 PM I'm 31, have been diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrom and have been on Clomid for five months with no luck. I am frustrated (as I sure we all are) with the weight that I have put on (15-20 lbs) since beginning the therapy as well as each month "failing" at getting pregnant. I feel as though I loose my mind for about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks during the month and when I finally regain my sanity, I end up starting my period and then end up back on the ClomidI just want to scream. I realize that 1 1/2 years of trying to get pregnant is not that long, but to watch my mind and my body become lumpy oatmeal is another.

Extractions: Overview: Strong families are essential to the future of our nation, and both mothers and fathers have essential roles in ensuring the well-being of their children. Compared with children growing up in two-parent homes, children in single-parent families are: The Department of Health and Human Services is firmly committed to helping fathers as well as mothers provide all the different kinds of support their children need. We conduct cutting-edge research on a wide-range of issues concerning fathers and families. We provide information and encouragement to our partners at the state and local levels about the critical roles fathers have in their childrens' lives. We help empower fathers as they work to ensure the health and well-being of their children. And we support our employees both mothers and fathers in their efforts to fulfill their parental responsibilities seriously. In June 1995, President Clinton launched a government-wide initiative to strengthen the role of fathers in families. As a part of this initiative, HHS has expanded our on-going efforts to improve the life-chances for all children by making sure that our programs and policies assist men in their roles as fathers. HHS has set the following four goals for its Fatherhood Initiative:

Extractions: Samar Mitra , Sociology, Emory University It is an empirical fact that the logits of the survivorship functions of any two life tables are highly correlated. This led Brass to conclude that given the two parameters of the bivariate linear regression, any life table can be predicted from any other with a high level of accuracy. Recently, it has been shown that the linear model based on the logits can not meet a boundary condition unless the slope coefficient of the regression is equal to one. As can be expected, such a restriction reduces the goodness of fit of the model significantly. A modification of the model has been proposed in this paper by introducing the logarithm of age as another independent variable. This gives rise to a three parameter model at first, but once again, the boundary condition reduces the number of parameters to two. The model's performance seems to be highly satisfactory.
Extractions: FAO Women and Population Division Previous Continues The attempt to disentangle the interactions between gender and sustainability is confounded by definitional problems as well as by common biases in the literature. Current difficulties, analyzed below, include: The recent history of women's movements is critical in understanding current attempts to link gender and sustainability. Feminism has presented quite a heterogeneous front at any one time, and it has evolved considerably in recent decades. Several authors have attempted to classify the various currents within the women's movements (inter alia, Young [1985]; Braidotti et al. chapters 4 and 5 [1994]). However, it is not our purpose to report on these different faces and phases of feminism, except inasmuch as they relate to the current discussions of sustainability, particularly within the context of international development efforts.

Extractions: Micro-social research on household organization and expenditures in buenos aires, Argentina BEATRICE LORGE ROGERS AND NINA P. SCHLOSSMAN Part I discussed a set of conceptual frameworks for identifying important factors in intrahousehold resource distribution. Economics, anthropology, and psychology focus on different aspects of the allocation process, tend to identify different sets of variables as central to the process, and so tend to use different approaches to the measurement of these variables. In this section, three papers address methodological issues related to specific techniques used by different social-science disciplines to obtain the most complete understanding of intra-household allocation patterns and their determinants. Scrimshaw's paper proposes an integration of qualitative methods such as those used in traditional ethnographic studies with more quantitative data-collection methods characteristic of survey research in economics. Each approach, the qualitative and the quantitative, has both advantages and disadvantages; combining the two strengthens both. In fact, the sequence from qualitative description to structured direct observation to survey research is now the method of data collection commonly followed by anthropologists who recognize the importance of statistical reliability and by economists who recognize that they cannot construct adequate models of behaviour without identifying and incorporating culturally specific variables.
Extractions: Volume 31, Number 5, September/October 1999 By Lindy Williams, Joyce Abma and Linda J. Piccinino Context: Retrospective studies of pregnancy intendedness have revealed some characteristics that can help identify which women are more likely than others to experience an unintended birth. A comparison of these findings with those from a prospective analysis may shed greater light on the characteristics associated with unintended pregnancy. Methods: Data were taken from the 1988 National Survey of Fertility Growth and a telephone reinterview of respondents conducted in 1990. Separate analyses were conducted of women intending to postpone childbearing for at least three years and of women intending to forgo all future childbearing. Logistic regression models were used to identify the effects of social and demographic characteristics, as well as change in marital status and certainty of intentions, on the odds of experiencing a birth in the interval between interviews. Results: Conclusions: There are at least two potential explanations for instances where the correlates of unintended births in the prospective analysis differ from those identified in retrospective studies. Certain subgroups of women may be more likely to classify births as wanted when they are asked retrospectively; alternatively, they may be more likely to experience changes in their living conditions that alter their fertility intentions.

Extractions: This article surveys the common law and legislative responses to parentage, custody and support issues that arise when children are born through assisted human reproduction (methods other than sexual intercourse). It proposes certain remedies to the lack of legislative and common law framework in Missouri for dealing with these issues. I. Introduction The first confirmed case of TID (therapeutic Insemination with Donor sperm) took place in Philadelphia . . . in 1884, performed by William Pancoast of Jefferson Medical College. A wealthy merchant complained to a noted physician of his inability to procreate and the doctor took this as a golden opportunity to try out a new procedure. Some time later, his patient's wife was anaesthetized. Before an audience of medical students, the doctor inseminated the woman, using semen obtained from "the best-looking member of the class." Nine months later, a child was born. The mother is reputed to have gone to her grave none the wiser as to the manner of her son's provenance. The husband was informed and was delighted. The son discovered his unusual history at the age of 25, when enlightened by a former medical student who had been present at the conception. In July 2003, Louise Brown turned 25 years old. Louise Brown was the world's first "test-tube baby."

Components of stably high fertility in three areas of West Africa. Social Science and Medicine, Vol. 33, No. 7, 1991. 849-57 pp. Elmsford, New York/Oxford, England. In Eng. "The constancy of fertility levels in Ghana, Senegal and southwest Nigeria since 1970 is separated into its nuptiality and marital fertility elements. The age-specific changes in the two components are examined and these show that the apparent stability in observed total fertility rates is essentially the outcome of the offsetting impact of increased marital fertility below age 25 and above age 40, over the effect of the increasing proportion of women remaining single up to 25 [years] of age. Continuity in traditional fertility behaviour and stable nuptiality has remained operative over the broad middle segment of the reproductive lifespan of women in the three areas. The paper thus concludes that West Africa is likely to continue to display stably high fertility for many years into the next century." Data are from a variety of sources.

Computer aided field editing in the DHS context: The Turkey experiment (p. 3-14) In this study two types of field editing used during the Turkey Demographic and Health Survey are compared: computer aided field and manual editing. It is known that manual editing by field editors is a tedious job in which errors especially on skip questions can be missed, however with the aid of computers field editors could quickly find all occasions on which an interviewer incorrectly followed a skip instruction. At the end of the experiment it has been found out that the field editing done with the aid of a notebook computer was consistently better than that done in the standard manual manner.

Extractions: Vol. 17, No. 7 GENITAL CHLAMYDIAL INFECTION EPIDEMIOLOGY Chlamydia trachomatis infections are among the most prevalent and detrimental bacterial sexually transmitted diseases affecting men and women in the United States. Although these infections are often asymptomatic or produce mild, nonspecific signs and symptoms, if untreated they may lead to serious sequelae in women. These complications include chronic pelvic pain, infertility, ectopic pregnancy and other adverse outcomes of pregnancy. Approximately 3% of women of childbearing age and 10-29% of sexually active adolescent girls are infected with chlamydia. SCREENING FOR CHLAMYDIA The following diagnostic screening tests are recommended as screening tools for Chlamydia trachomatis: ENZYME IMMUNOASSAY (ElA) POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (PCR) NUCLEIC ACID PROBE CELL CULTURE Specimen Type Endocervical, urethral, urine (males), conjunctival Endocervical, urethral, urine (males) Endocervical, urethral, conjunctival Endocervical, urethral, urine, conjunctival, pulmonary, rectal
