  ABSTRACT: The emergence of resistant strains of bacteria is directly related to the selection of chemotherapeutic agents, and the character of the resistance changes with changes in use-frequency of the various antibiotics. In recent years with increasing use of beta-lactam antibiotics, there has been an increased incidence of microorganisms that are resistant by virtue of their ability to produce beta-lactamase enzymes which destroy the beta-lactam antibiotics. The development of beta-lactamase inhibitors which may be used in combination with the beta-lactam antibiotics has been a significant advance for the therapy of gynecologic infections in South America.

  ABSTRACT: Shortcomings of contraceptives and of family planning delivery systems are major reasons for unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortion in Third World countries. Family planning and health programs should provide empathetic counseling for contraceptive choices and pregnancy termination, adjust management systems and procedures to facilitate women's access to services and information, and offer comprehensive services to meet their multiple reproductive health needs.

  ABSTRACT: In an open, randomized clinical study, the safety and efficacy of sulbactam/ampicillin was compared to that of cefotetan in 95 hospital patients with gynecologic or obstetric infections. Sulbactam/ampicillin (1 g:2 g), was administered intravenously every 8 h to 46 patients, and cefotetan (2 g) was administered intravenously every 12 h to 49 patients. All 23 patients with obstetric infections and 18 of the 23 patients with gynecologic infections treated with sulbactam/ampicillin were evaluated as cured. All 21 patients with obstetric infections and 23 of the 28 patients with gynecologic infections treated with cefotetan were evaluated as cured. No side effects requiring discontinuation of therapy or reduction of the dose administered, were observed.

  ABSTRACT: In a prospective, randomized, open trial, efficacy of one dose of sulbactam/ampicillin (1 g:2 g) was compared to three doses of mezlocillin/oxacillin (2 g:1 g), starting with induction of anesthesia in 80 breast surgery patients with an increased risk of postoperative infection. No infections at the site of operation were seen in either group. Fever due to postoperative pulmonary complications occurred in one patient in the sulbactam/ampicillin group. The only side effect was a moderate exanthema observed in one patient in the mezlocillin/oxacillin group. In this study of the prophylaxis of patients with an increased risk of postoperative infections having the potential to jeopardize the results of surgery, a single dose of sulbactam/ampicillin was as effective as a short term course of three doses of mezlocillin/oxacillin.

• Article: Abortion counseling: attention to the whole woman.

  ABSTRACT: Women's experience of pregnancy and abortion are examined and redefined. Abortion may be undertaken for a variety of reasons, and involves not only physical and emotional health, but also a woman's basic identity. Under restrictive norms and laws set by men, women's decision to abort is a subversive act. Recommendations are made for comprehensive services, including psychosocial counseling to help women cope with social pressures and experience abortion as an act of self-affirmation.

• Article: Commentary on a community-based approach to reproductive health care. Society for Education, Action and Research in Community Health Team.

  ABSTRACT: Reproductive care needs to be broadened beyond maternity care and family planning to include care for gynecological and sexual problems, safe abortion services, and sex and reproductive health education. Our epidemiologic study of rural women has shown a very high prevalence of gynecological diseases. We tried to develop a community-based approach to comprehensive reproductive care by undertaking participatory research, fostering mass education with the people's involvement, and by making care available through village-based female workers and improved referral services. We end with two appeals: "MCH" needs to be replaced by WCH: not merely Maternal and Child Health but Woman and Child Health. Care should be provided through a community-based participatory approach, not through narrow technocratic vertical programs. Let people shape their own lives!
