Explore the world of women's health practices in the 1910s with Anna M. Galbraith's 'The Four Epochs of Woman's Life: A Study in Hygiene'. The book highlights four important aspects of a women's gynecological health, and includes sections on the hygiene of puberty, the significance of hemorrhage at menopause as a symptom of cancer, and the hygiene of menopause.
Every woman needs to know the facts about herself. The A-Z of Women's Health puts those facts at her fingertips, providing invaluable information on all aspects of female life; physical conditions, reproduction and childbearing, hygiene and diet, drug treatments and medical investigations, contraception, infertility, adoption, rape, cancer-and much more besides.
The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.
