In the title compound, [Cd(C4H5NO4)(H2O)2] n , the Cd(II) atom exhibits a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry, defined by one N atom and three O atoms from two iminodi-acetate (IDA) ligands and two water molecules. The tridentate IDA ligand additionally bridges via one of its carboxylate O atoms to another Cd(II) atom, thus forming a zigzag chain along [001]. A three-dimensional network...

Volume 83, Number 1 www.aafp.org/afp American Family Physician 35 Clinical Scenario A 19-year-old nulliparous woman comes to the office to discuss contraceptive options. She previously used depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo-Provera) but was bothered by the weight gain and spotting she attributed to the medication. She would like to know whether the copper intrauterine device (IUD) might b...

Poor compliance and high discontinuation rates of Depot-Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA) and other contraceptive methods are major factors in the continuing problem of adolescent pregnancy. In this study we attempted to determine if providing comprehensive health care for teen mothers and their babies would improve continuation rates of DMPA. Patients who started DMPA between 1/1/96 and 1/1/9...

Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is one of the most frequently prescribed progestins for conception, hormone replacement therapy, and adjuvant endocrine therapy. MPA has a low oral bioavailability because of extensive metabolism; however, its metabolism was poorly documented. This study was intended to profile the phase I metabolites of MPA and the cytochrome P450 (P450) isoforms involved. Aft...

In the US, obesity rates are increasing greatly. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 68.5% of Americans, including 63.9% of adult women older than 20 years, are overweight (body mass index between 25 kg/m2 and 29.9 kg/m2) or obese (body mass index >30 kg/m2). In light of this, it is not surprising that the rates of bariatric surgery have also been increasing. When cons...

Patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are often not capable to keep bloodgas values at a normal level, they are hypoxaemic and/or hypercapnic. During sleep these patients are even more hypoxaemic and /or hypercapnic due to hypoventilation, especially during the REM state (Vos, 1992). To improve bloodgas values respiratory stimulants such as medroxyprogesterone acetat...

In the title compound, C(25)H(18)O(2)S·C(4)H(8)O(2), there are inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the main mol-ecule and the solvent molecule. The thio-phene ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 70.87 (7) and 75.36 (4)° with respect to the mean planes of the two naphthyl ring systems.
