To evaluate the role of platin-based chemotherapy followed by salvage surgery in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer after negative second-look laparotomy. ⋯ Retreatment with platin-based chemotherapy followed by salvage surgery should be offered to recurrent ovarian cancer patients and would appear to prolong survival in a highly selected group of patients.

Comparative StudySexuality in women with traumatic spinal cord injury.
Sexuality in spinal cord injured women has largely been neglected. One reason may be the male dominance amongst traumatically spinal cord injured individuals. The purpose of this study is to elucidate sexual issues in women with spinal cord injuries. ⋯ The women's neurological status affect their ability to adapt sexually after injury. Medical problems commonly interfere with sexuality and should be identified and treated. No adverse impact of spinal cord injury on marital status could be confirmed. Sexual counseling has yet to become an integral part of rehabilitation.

Review Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialOral contraceptive use among female elite athletes and age-matched controls and its relation to low back pain.
Exogenous and endogenous female sex steroids may influence the risk of low back pain. The fact that back pain is a very common symptom during pregnancy supports this theory. Back pain is also more common among female than male athletes. Oral contraceptives have been suggested to increase the risk of low back pain. ⋯ This study does not support the theory that low back pain is affected by the use of oral contraceptives. Instead, constitutional factors and mechanical stress during intense physical activity is probably more important.
