			* Of the 192 455 fathers included (median age, 30.0 [IQR, 27.0-34.0] years), 31.1% experienced an adverse pregnancy outcome. Most of the fathers in the study had a vocational educational level (37.1%). Fathers experiencing a stillbirth had a significantly increased risk of initiating nonpharmacological psychiatric treatment (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR], 23.10 [95% CI, 18.30-29.20]) and treatment with hypnotics (AHR, 9.08 [95% CI, 5.52-14.90]). Moreover, fathers experiencing an early induced abortion (≤12 wk) had an increased risk of initiating treatment with hypnotics (AHR, 1.74 [95% CI, 1.33-2.29]) and anxiolytics (AHR, 1.79 [95% CI, 1.18-2.73]). Additionally, late induced abortion (>12 wk) (AHR, 4.46 [95% CI, 3.13-6.38]) and major congenital malformation (AHR, 1.36 [95% CI, 1.05-1.74]) were associated with increased risk of nonpharmacological treatment. In contrast, fathers having an offspring being born preterm, SGA, or with a minor congenital malformation did not have a significantly increased risk of any of the outcomes.

			:Introduction: To evaluate the impact of voluntary termination of pregnancy (VTOP) on the psycho-sexological well-being of females before/six months after the abortion.

			:Methods: A sample of 194 women was recruited from three obstetrics and gynaecological divisions. The women were evaluated for the variables "sexual functioning" with the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), "depression" with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), and "anxiety state" with the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) at time 0 (the beginning of the abortion procedure) and time 1 (six months after the abortion). Since 24 women refused to fill out the questionnaires, the final sample was composed of 170 women.

			:Results: The women showed a slight although significant improvement in the mean FSFI score from time 0 (16.7 ± 12.9) to time 1 (20.9 ± 13.8) (p < 0.001) which paralleled with a slight decrease in the incidence of clinically significant sexual dysfunction [49% (84/170) (time 0) versus 34.1% (58/170) (time 1)], (McNemar's test; p = 0.0241). The sub-group of younger women (18-25) showed a lesser increase in FSFI score from time 0 to time 1. In addition, both depression (p = 0.048) and anxiety (p < 0.001) significantly decreased over time. However, the female sexuality remained impaired since more than two thirds (69.5%) of women were sexually dysfunctional six months after VTOP.

			:Discussion: Voluntary TOP may influence the sexuality of younger females differently from how it influences that of older women. Hence, the sexuality of younger female should be regularly supervised in follow-up examinations.

	:(ABSTRACT)BACKGROUND: Studies suggest that experiencing a perinatal loss may leave women vulnerable to mental health problems and may compromise parenting. Unfortunately, compared to miscarriages and stillbirths, very little research has examined the potential for grief and feelings of loss associated with elective abortion. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the quality of the childcare environment and children's development among children of mothers with a history of abortion prior to childbirth (n = 672) and children of non post-abortive women (n= 4,172). METHOD: Data were derived from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), with comparisons based on two assessments of the caregiving environment and scores on four child outcome variables. The sample was divided into three child age categories: 1-4 years (n = 1,502), 5-9 years (n = 2,121), and 10-13 years (n = 1,524). RESULTS: After controlling for numerous potentially confounding socio-demographic variables, lower scores were observed for the post-abortion group relative to the level of emotional support in the home among first-born children in the youngest age category. Further, among 5-9-year-olds, more behavior problems were revealed for the children of women with a history of abortion. Finally, no main effects were detected between the abortion history groups relative to the level of cognitive stimulation in the home. CONCLUSION: Although it is widely recognized that at least 10% of post-abortive women experience negative psychological consequences, the potential effects of negative subjective experiences on parenting need more systematic attention.		:(ABSTRACT)BACKGROUND: Studies suggest that experiencing a perinatal loss may leave women vulnerable to mental health problems and may compromise parenting.

			::'''EDITOR's NOTES:''' The number of abortions reported in this study are half of what should have been reported in New Zealand. In the year 2012, New Zealand's Abortion Supervisory Committee report shows there was a total of 14,745 induced abortions and from this number 3,648 (24.7%) had one previous abortion and 1,937 (13.1%) had 2 or more previous abortions. The abortion ratio was 193/1000 (rate of abortion/known pregnancies, not counting miscarriages; 19.3%). Therefore, in the above study of 5,495 pregnant woman there should have been approximately 1060 abortions (rather than 415) with 139 (rather than 66) having had 2 or more previous abortions. All of this suggests that many women participating in the study chose to not disclose their abortion history. If non-disclosers had more emotional problems related to their abortions (which is why they may have been unwilling to disclose their abortions) this would mean the results under estimate the mental health problems associated with abortion.

			:INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer is the most prevalent neoplasia among women, responsible for 20% of deaths in this population. The treatment (mastectomy) always alters patients self-image, perception about their own body and their self-esteem. The objective of this case-control study, is to evaluate the quality of life using World Health Organization Quality of Life abbreviated, WHOQoL-bref and the sexual dysfunction using Female Sexual Function Index, FSFI questionnaires.

			:METHODS: Women with breast cancer (cases) and women without this disease (controls), identified at Santa Casa de Belo Horizonte, were included. Social demographic, anthropometric and clinical information were also obtained. Multivariate statistical analysis (ordinal regression) was conducted; two models were implemented: (a) the scores of each WHOQoL-bref domain as response variable and (b) the scores of each FSFI domain, as well as the total score, as response variables.

			:RESULTS: Breast cancer diagnosis and treatment are associated to sexual dysfunction Regarding quality of life, this same association was not detected. Age, report of using hormonal oral contraceptive and '''abortion history were the other independent risk factors associated to sexual dysfunction.''' Age at last parity, although not being associated to sexual dysfunction, could not be removed from the final model; this seems to indicate a possible effect modification. In reference to individual domains, results showed that breast cancer is associated to desire, excitation and satisfaction lower scores and not associated to lubrication, orgasm and pain. Age is inversely associated to scores in all domains, except satisfaction. History of abortion inversely associated to desire and excitation. Use of oral contraceptive (inverse association) and education (direct association) to excitation and satisfaction, respectively. Age at last parity, as observed in the total model, have to be kept in the models of all individual domains.

			:CONCLUSIONS: Breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, age, report of using hormonal oral contraceptive and abortion history are associated to sexual dysfunction.
