Emergency contraceptive pill awareness in Bangladesh: missed opportunities in antenatal care and family welfare assistant visits.

International Center for Diarrhoeal Disease and Research, Bangladesh, icddr,b, GPO Box 128, Dhaka, 1000, Bangladesh.
Background: Despite high coverage of antenatal care (ANC) and family welfare assistant (FWA) visits, emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) awareness is critically low in Bangladesh. We aim to investigate the missed opportunities in generating ECP awareness through ANC and FWA visit programs; and assess the missed opportunities and sociodemographic discrimination in receiving family planning (FP) counseling during ANC.
Methods: We used data from the nationwide Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey 2017-18.

We present 2 clinical cases of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) combined with cilioretinal artery occlusion (CRAO) in young patients with no cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) or medical history of interest. An extensive etiological study with analytical and imaging tests was performed without finding relevant alterations. Finally, in the first case, the intake of 1 postcoital contraceptive pill was considered the triggering cause while, in the second case, the etiology was attributed to a previous infection by the SARS-Cov-2 virus.

This study aimed to estimate the proportion of use of emergency contraception at least once in life among Brazilian adolescent students, as well as the association of individual, family, and community factors with use. A cross-sectional study was carried out, including 38,779 Brazilian adolescent students, aged 13 to 17 years, participating in the Brazilian National Survey of School Health (PeNSE) in 2019, who declared sexual initiation. The proportion of emergency contraception use at least once in life and the form of access to the method were estimated.

Article Synopsis
- Levonorgestrel (LNG) is primarily used as an emergency contraceptive by delaying ovulation, and this study aimed to explore its effects on the human Fallopian tube's ciliary movement and muscle contractions.
- In an experimental setup using tissue samples from women, the researchers tested LNG at various concentrations to see any changes in ciliary beat frequency and muscular contractions.
- Results showed that while LNG did not significantly affect ciliary movement or muscle tone, the highest concentration (100 ng/ml) did reduce muscular contractions, indicating that the Fallopian tube is not likely a target for LNG's contraceptive effects at typical emergency contraception doses.

The emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) is a post-coital contraceptive method that prevents unintended pregnancy and is useful in specific circumstances. This study examined the awareness and use of the ECP in India, as there is scarce evidence in this area to guide policy development. This study used data from the 2005-06 (n = 124 385) and 2019-21 (n = 724 115) rounds of the National Family Health Survey of India.
