A Temperature-Monitoring Vaginal Ring for Measuring Adherence
BACKGROUND Product adherence is a pivotal issue in the development of effective vaginal microbicides to reduce sexual transmission of HIV. To date, the six Phase III studies of vaginal gel products have relied primarily on self-reporting of adherence. Accurate and reliable methods for monitoring user adherence to microbicide-releasing vaginal rings have yet to be established. METHODS A silico...
متن کاملFabrication of a Reservoir Ring for Sustained and Prolonged Release of Levonorgestrel for Vaginal Administration
Introduction: More than one-third of women experience abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) during their lifetime. One of the treatment methods of this disease is hormone therapy. Vaginal rings (VRs) containing progesterone hormones could be a good choice for treatment. In this study, the design and construction of a reservoir ring with the ability to release levonorgestrel hormone has been investiga...
متن کاملA New Wireless Biosensor for Intra-Vaginal Temperature Monitoring
Wireless Body Sensors for medical purposes offer valuable contributions to improve patients' healthcare, including diagnosis and/or therapeutics monitoring. Body temperature is a crucial parameter in healthcare diagnosis. In gynecology and obstetrics it is measured at the skin's surface, which is very influenced by the environment. This paper proposes a new intra-body sensor for long-term intra...
متن کاملA Novel Intra-body Sensor for Vaginal Temperature Monitoring
Over the years some medical studies have tried to better understand the internal behavior of human beings. Many researchers in this domain have been striving to find relationships between intra-vaginal temperature and certain female health conditions, such as ovulation and fertile period since woman's intra-vaginal temperature is one of the body parameters most preferred in such studies. Howeve...
