[Post-menopausal osteoporosis. A true and real social disease].

The use of estrogens in menopausal women leads to a marked improvement in the quality of life, with the short-term disappearance of vasomotory phenomena and changes in psychomotive equilibrium. This therapy offers two long-term advantages: the prevention of osteoporosis and the cardiovascular diseases.

A total of 31 pregnancies were achieved in the 171 cases which did not undergo surgical treatment (18.7%).

[Respiratory distress syndrome in premature births].

The paper reports the results of a study of respiratory distress syndrome in premature birth, one of the most common and important forms of respiratory disorders affecting neonates during the first days of life. One hundred and fifty-six premature births from 1 January 1986 to 30 June 1988 were included in the study. From an analysis of results it emerges that there is a lower incidence of respiratory distress syndrome in both vaginal deliveries and cases treated with Ambroxol.

[Clinical study of the use of a new tri-phasic pill].

The pill was administered to 50 women aged between 18 and 41 years for 12 months, giving a total of 600 menstrual cycles. Data confirm the value of this pill which ensures excellent contraceptive efficacy and is well tolerated by patients with very few adverse effects.

[Hormonal contraception using estroprogestins].

Today the estroprogestagen pill is the most valid method of contraception given that its benefits far outweigh its risks. The paper stresses the importance of a thorough anamnestic, clinical and laboratory examination so as to obtain correct and safe steroid contraception. The efficacy and excellent tolerance of the combined method currently make it the most widespread form of oral contraception.
