introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and side effects of two different misoprostol regimens for second-trimester pregnancy termination. methods: 60 consenting women who were at 14 to 28 weeks of gestation with indications for pregnancy termination were randomly assigned to two equal groups to receive either vaginal or oral misoprostol. the dosing regimen was 400µg...

p a twin pregnancy with a complete hydatidiform mole with a coexistent foetus (chmf) is a rare condition that typically results in poor pregnancy outcomes. for patients with refractory vaginal bleeding, termination of pregnancy is more appropriate. however, unified methods for termination remain to be explored. in the present study, we reviewed the termination measures in four cases of twin pre...

induced abortion may be desired during a normal or abnormal pregnancy. the methods of induced abortion differ between species mainly because of different sources for progesterone production during pregnancy between species and within a species according to different stages of gestation. in cows and buffaloes, pregnancy can be effectively terminated from 5 to 150 days by administration of luteol...

due to the limitations of the “life table method” the exponential model was used to estimate the iud termination and retention rate among 1,390 women. since the conditional probability of iud termination during the first month of insertion is considerably higher than the subsequent months, data relating to the first 30 days was considered separately. furthermore a constant termination rate was ...

objective: this paper explores the relationship between domestic violence against women inflicted by husbands, unwanted pregnancy and pregnancy termination of bangladeshi urban women. materials and methods: the study used the nationally representative 2007 bangladesh demographic and health survey (bdhs) data. the bdhs covered a representative sample of 10,996 ever married women from rural and u...

We present a new technique for proving AC-termination. We show that if certain conditions are met, AC-termination can be reduced to termination, i. e., termination of a TRS S modulo an AC-theory can be inferred from termination of another TRS R with no AC-theory involved. This is a new perspective and opens new possibilities to deal with AC-termination.

We present a constraint-based method for proving conditional termination of integer programs. Building on this, we construct a framework to prove (unconditional) program termination using a powerful mechanism to combine conditional termination proofs. Our key insight is that a conditional termination proof shows termination for a subset of program execution states which do not need to be consid...

In this paper we show that probabilistic termination of concurrent program is in many cases much simpler than the "f~" one. For a wide class of definitions of probabilistic termination we may express termination by rrf arithmetic formula, whereas the "fair" termination can be expressed only by rrf secqnd order arithmetic formula. Proof of "fair" termination usually needs induction on recursive ...
