Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Continuous infusion of local anaesthetic following laparoscopic hysterectomy--a randomised controlled trial.
To estimate whether a continuous infusion of intraperitoneal local anaesthetic for 48 hours following laparoscopic hysterectomy reduced the need for opioids delivered with a patient-controlled analgesia pump. ⋯ Continuous infusion of 0.5% levobupivicaine into the peritoneal cavity following laparoscopic hysterectomy does not have any opioid-sparing effects.

Randomized Controlled Trial
What's normal? Influencing women's perceptions of normal genitalia: an experiment involving exposure to modified and nonmodified images.
Examine women's perceptions of what is 'normal' and 'desirable' in female genital appearance. ⋯ Exposure to images of modified vulvas may change women's perceptions of what is normal and desirable. This may explain why some healthy women seek labiaplasty.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Intravenous ferrous sucrose versus placebo in addition to oral iron therapy for the treatment of severe postpartum anaemia: a randomised controlled trial.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous iron versus placebo added to standard oral iron therapy in the treatment of severe postpartum anaemia. ⋯ Intravenous iron added to oral iron therapy did not show significant benefits over placebo, neither in haemoglobin rise nor in symptoms or adverse side effects.
