“A Story of New York at the Present Time”: The Historico-Literary Contexts of Jack Engle
Full text linkLight in the Piazza
No full textFeatured here is a rendering of Margaret Johnson in her costume during Act 2 scene 1 through 9. She is wearing a purple, blue and black dress. It has an asymmetrical front closure, with a fichu neckline detail. The lines of this costume, while still having structure, are much softer than Margaret’s previous costumes. This softness reflects how she is changing and loosening up her ways as the show happens.https://ir.uiowa.edu/costume_design/1233/thumbnail.jp
Investigation of the relationship between gestational week and sexuality
Full text linkBackground: The aim of the study was to twofold: to provide sociological data comparing sexuality both before and during pregnancy for women in developing countries as well as to look for differences in correlation between elements of sexuality and gestational age. Its intention is to help improve communication between physicians and patients in and from countries where social mores and traditions make such conversations difficult and uncommon.
Methods: Participants in the study included 1026 pregnant women at different gestational ages that presented to an Antenatal Outpatient Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey between April 2017 and November 2017. The participants were given a questionnaire composed of 20 questions, 17 of which were multiple-choice. The pregnant women were asked to mark the most appropriate option for them. The questionnaire began by collecting demographic information. Participants were asked to provide their current gestational week, age, weight and height. In another question, they were asked about their gravidity, parity, abortions, cesarean sections and curettage as well as about the presence of any dyspareunia. Questions about libido were evaluated on a 12-point scale based on the Turkish Libido Scoring System.
Results: The frequency of sexual intercourse, orgasm and masturbation as well as the gender of the partner initiating sexual intercourse were compared before and during pregnancy. Differences across gestational age (first, second and third trimester) were also considered where relevant. Notably, the frequency of sexual intercourse and orgasm decrease significantly during pregnancy; however, trends related to masturbation and gender of the partner did not change in any meaningful way.
Conclusion: The frequency of sexual intercourse and related activities were determined to decrease significantly as gestational age increased. Sexual intercourse was determined to be mostly initiated by the male partner before and during pregnancy and this rate was found to mildly increase during pregnancy and the difference was determined to be statistically significant
Obstetric care among refugee populations: reinforcing cultural humility in residency training—preliminary report
Full text linkThe burden of increasing obstetric morbidity and mortality in the United States disproportionately impacts certain populations more than others, one such group being refugees. Poor obstetric outcomes among refugee communities historically have been attributed to delayed initiation of prenatal care, failure to detect co-morbidities, as well as higher rates of Cesarean sections (C-sections), stillbirths, pre-term births, and low birth weight infants in comparison to host-country mothers. Therefore, understanding the contextual nuances that play a role in these poor outcomes among refugee populations is very important
Factors associated with long-term pessary use
Full text linkVaginal pessary is a well-established pelvic organ prolapse (POP) treatment, but little evidence about long-term use is available. Our aim was to report the duration of use and investigate predictors of long-term pessary use for POP. We hypothesized that younger, healthier women and women who experienced complications would have shorter duration of use
