A double-blind randomized trial of low-dose oral urea to prevent sickle cell crises.

Seventy-nine homozygous SS patients were randomly assigned to control or oral prophylactic urea treatment in a double-blind trial designed to determine whether prophylactic oral urea, in low doses, prevents sickle cell crises. The average follow-up time for these patients was 13.7 months and 33 patients were diagnosed as having one or more crises during the study. No statistically significant treatment differences were found in weight changes, bilirubin changes, or hemoglobin changes over the course of the study or in the distribution of time to first crises or time to second crisis. This study gives no evidence in favor of the hypothesis that prophylactic oral urea, in low doses, prolongs time to crisis.

Nurses, nursing and women.

WHO's project on women as providers of health care, in which many countries, agencies and individuals have been involved in various capacities, has given birth to a book entitled "Women as Providers of Health Care". While presenting an objective picture of the situation of women who dispense health care--formally or informally, within the family and community--around the world, the book tries to stimulate thought on the subject of women's contribution to health and how it can be enhanced. The chapter on "Nursing and the condition of women", condensed below, identifies some of the major issues hindering nursing education and practice. It is intended to lead to a better and broader understanding of the problems faced by women as health care providers.
