Effects of a Monophasic Hormonal Contraceptive With Norgestimate+Ethinyl Estradiol on Menstrual Bleeding: Protocol and Design of a Multicenter, Prospective, Open-Label, Noncomparative Study in Italy

Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are the most commonly prescribed form of hormonal contraception in Italy and in other European countries [1]. These contraceptive pills contain a combination of estrogen and progestin to suppress ovulation (the primary contraceptive effect) and to change endometrial and cervical secretions, hindering the passage of sperm [2]. COCs may be monophasic or multiphasic.

Cross-Cultural Sense-Making of Global Health Crises: A Text Mining Study of Public Opinions on Social Media Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Developed and Developing Economies

Cross-Cultural Sense-Making of Global Health Crises: A Text Mining Study of Public Opinions on Social Media Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Developed and Developing Economies

In order to contextualize the developmental differences between Egypt, Italy, and the United Kingdom, we made reference to the Human Capital Index [13]. This is a quantitative measure of development based on health and education outcomes. According to this index, Italy scores 0.73, the United Kingdom 0.78, and Egypt 0.49. The index highlights how there is a substantial developmental gap between Italy and Egypt (0.73 vs 0.49) compared to the gap between Italy and the United Kingdom (0.73 vs 0.78).

In Italy, despite early data provided by the COVID-19 Integrated Surveillance System [11], it has been difficult to accurately quantify hospital admissions of patients with a COVID-19 diagnosis using the Hospital Information System (HIS), mainly due to the heterogeneity of codes used in the hospital discharge records (HDRs) during different waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.
