Spontaneous abortion is the loss of the infant naturally or accidentally, without the will of the mother, more commonly referred to as miscarriage.

This thought–provoking reference work explores the evolution of America’s heated abortion debate in a selection of over 40 primary documents from the 19th century to the present day. The guide includes not only key laws and court cases that have determined abortion policy, but also political speeches, medical essays, theological writings, newspaper advertisements, magazine articles, and popular books that offer insight into America’s changing attitudes towards women, race, the medical field, and the role of government in its citizens’ personal lives. Each document is preceded by an introductio...

It seems possible that diagnosis of PBC in Chinese persons may have been missed by lack of awareness or a preponderance of other disease processes, and it is possible that a more vigorous pursuit of hepatosplenomegaly or elevated serum alkaline phosphatase levels in the Singapore population might reveal further instances of the disease.

The preparation of freeze-dried cryo was well tolerated by patients and produced an expected rise in Factor VIII, and preliminary experience indicates good stability for some months at 4'C and for days to weeks at room temperature.

It is concluded that one of the modes of action of aprotinin in reducing blood loss after cardiac surgery may be by reducing the inhibitory effect of heparin on platelet function.

MISCARRIAGE, slinking, abortion, or slipping the calf, occurs to cows in apparent high health arid condition and all cases occurring during the first part the term abortion is applied, and after that premature labor.

Stories about abortion provide a rich ground for looking at the relationship between narrative, experience, and meaning because in many ways abortion has come to be a defining issue for American culture—one that touches on the value we attribute to human life, liberty, and freedom. Using personal stories and interviews, MariAnna seeks to show the contours of a vital and diverse collective story—a narrative that emphasizes the discursive dynamics at work in any account of the significance of abortion.

It is clear that in instances like these the necessity of especially careful counselling of men, in the positive terms of Earle Hackett's article, is what is required.

Abstract A deprivation of women’s reproductive rights has occurred by the right-wing turn in recent United States’ politics. Looking at the details of Roe v. Wade, (1973), and Dobbs (2022), the author notes the limited legal, but predominantly emotional, thinking in the Supreme Court’s opinions that led to the overturn. The contemporary legal coup is seen here as yet another age-old attempt to control the female body’s reproductive powers and capacities. Using an example, the author notes the unconscious male fear of female’s bodily self-governance that inhibits any empathy for “the other.” Sh...

The reproductive function is one that, like severe physical exertion, tests all the bodily functions, and under it some women will break down, even if previously perfectly sound.

In 1990 abortion literature was characterized by articles relating to 1) the safety of surgical abortion procedures, 2) advances in knowledge and experience with medical abortifacients such as mifepristone (RU 486), and 3) reviews of psychologic and ethical considerations.

Dr Savage's suggestion of a central register is an excellent one, but its purpose must clearly be twofold: to find doctors to fill the many vacant posts in mission hospitals and to help those currently working overseas to find suitable posts on returning to the United Kingdom.

The distal end is fulgurated at the cut surface and the sheath of the vas closed over it with a single suture to prevent spontaneous rejoining, and also facilitates reversal later on if required.

SIR: The review by Aileen F. Connon of Abortion by Potts, Diggory and Peel (Journal, February 10) made interesting reading, especially her quotation of the "fascinating statistical information" that Australia has 11.5 million people and 45000 to 90000 criminal abortions a year. These are rather wide upper and lower confidence limits. One wonders what other information the authors have included that is of the same standard of accuracy. On the other hand, Malcolm Potts told me some years ago that the experience of his parent organization, the International Planned Parenthood Federation, with the...

The patient continued to suffer from nuchal pain with radiation to both shoulders and from giddiness, but the patient became mentally depressed.

The defense of the practice of abortion taxes our moral sensibilities primarily because of the complexity of the ways in which our view of it is affected by other relatively independent social themes. For instance, if the world's population threatened to multiply dangerously within, say, a generation, then routinized abortion might well be required in the interest of racial survival; and that consideration might well be thought to take precedence over the saving of any random fetus-in any rationally defensible policy. Also, if women could practice abortion easily and effectively by themselves,...
