Background: Recent advances in biomedical optics have enabled dermal and epidermal components to be visualized at subcellular resolution and assessed noninvasively. Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) are noninvasive imaging modalities that have demonstrated promising results in imaging skin micromorphology, and which provide complementary information regarding skin components. This study assesses whether combined MPM/RCM can visualize intracellular and extracellular melanin granules in the epidermis and dermis of normal human skin.

Objective: This report details enrolment findings related to a Canadian randomized controlled trial comparing immediate to delayed intrauterine contraception (IUC) placement after a second trimester abortion. We report acceptance of IUC, satisfaction with prior contraception, adherence to the CONSORT criteria, and challenges faced in the recruitment process.

Methods: Women seeking second trimester abortion and selecting either of two methods of IUC as their preferred contraception method were enrolled and randomized to insertion either immediately post-abortion or four weeks later.
