Background Early intrauterine device (IUD) discontinuation after insertion immediately following aspiration abortion or after early medical abortion occurs as a consequence of expulsion of the IUD or removal due to side effects. These are often the consequence of the uterine forces impacting on the IUD due to spatial discrepancy with the uterine cavity causing pain, abnormal bleeding, and event...

BACKGROUND Implantable methods of contraception offer long-acting reversible contraception. Their uptake rate in comparison to other contraceptive methods, particularly in developed countries, has historically been low. OBJECTIVES To assess the contraceptive effectiveness, tolerability and acceptability of subdermal implants in comparison to other reversible contraceptive methods. SEARCH ST...

Palladium (II) coordination complexes catalyze the reaction of alcohols with ketones to yield ethers. During the catalytic cycle, the alcohol adds selectively to the β-carbon (anti-Markovnikov). In this work, mechanism and kinetics for the reaction of methanol with methyl vinyl ketone (MVK), being catalyzed by Pd, has been theoretically investigated in detail. Using quantum mechanical approach,...

Proving the congruence between a direct semantics and a continuation semantics is often surprisingly complicated considering that direct-style-terms can be transformed into continuation style automatically. However, transforming the representation of a direct-style semantics into continuation style usually does not yield the expected representation of a continuation-style semantics (i.e., one w...

Thermal activation is mediated by field configurations that correspond to saddle points of the energy functional. The rate of probability flow along the unstable functional directions, i.e the activation rate, is usually obtained from the imaginary part of a suitable analytic continuation of the equilibrium free energy. In this note we provide a real-time, non-equilibrium interpretation of this...

We prove an optimal relative integral convergence rate for two expanding gradient Ricci solitons coming out of the same cone. As a consequence, we obtain unique continuation result at infinity and that entropy such self-similar solutions to flow is well-defined. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

In this paper we study the global unique continuation property for the elasticity system and the general second order elliptic system in two dimensions. For the isotropic and the anisotropic systems with measurable coefficients, under certain conditions on coefficients, we show that the global unique continuation property holds. On the other hand, for the anisotropic system, if the coefficients...

In this paper we study the existence and continuation of solution to the general fractional differential equation (FDE) with Riemann–Liouville derivative. If no confusion appears, we call FDE for brevity. We firstly establish a new local existence theorem. Then, we derive the continuation theorems for the general FDE, which can be regarded as a generalization of the continuation theorems of the...

Achieving greater continuation of treatment is a key element to improve treatment outcomes in schizophrenia patients. However, reported treatment continuation can differ markedly depending on the study design. In a retrospective setting, treatment continuation remains overall poor among patients using antipsychotics. This study aimed to document the difference in treatment continuation between ...
