    Abstract Background: Inpatient insertion of long-acting reversible contraception and immediate postpartum tubal ligation allow women to initiate highly effective contraception before hospital discharge.
    Objective: We measured rates of intrauterine device and contraceptive implant initiation and tubal ligations performed during delivery hospitalizations from 2016 to 2018 from a representative sample of US hospital discharges.
    Study design: We used the 2016 to 2018 National Inpatient Sample database, a 20% sample of all community hospital discharges in the United States, to identify delivery hospitalizations with concomitant intrauterine device insertion, contraceptive implant insertion, or tubal ligation. We performed weighted multivariable logistic regression to examine associations between possible predictors (age, delivery mode, payer, geographic region, and year) and odds of long-acting reversible contraception and tubal ligation, and to compare characteristics of users.
    Results: This sample included 2,216,638 discharges, representing 20% of 11,083,180 delivery hospitalizations across the United States. Intrauterine device insertion increased from 2.2 per 1000 deliveries (2016) to approximately 5.0 per 1000 deliveries (2018; P<.0001); implant insertion increased from 0.3 per 1000 deliveries (2016) to 2.5 per 1000 deliveries (2018; P<.0001); tubal ligation procedures decreased (64.2 to 62.1 per 1000 deliveries; P<.0001). Women who underwent a cesarean delivery had higher odds of having a tubal ligation than those who had a vaginal delivery (adjusted odds ratio, 8.83; 95% confidence interval, 8.73-8.97). Women aged <25 years had 7 times higher odds of receiving long-acting reversible contraception than of receiving tubal ligation (adjusted odds ratio, 7.38; 95% confidence interval, 6.90-7.90). Women with public insurance had almost 5 times the odds of receiving long-acting reversible contraception compared with those with commercial insurance (adjusted odds ratio, 4.83; 95% confidence interval, 4.59-5.06).
    Conclusion: Rates of long-acting reversible contraception insertion continue to increase while the rates of inpatient postpartum tubal ligations slowly decline. Variations in patient characteristics are associated with receiving long-acting reversible contraception or tubal ligation.

    Abstract Objectives: This exploratory study compared self-reported satisfaction rates and pain scores between patients who used marijuana during their medication abortion versus non-users.
    Study design: We recruited medication abortion patients at a University-affiliated abortion clinic in Denver, Colorado. Participants completed a pre-abortion questionnaire, pain diary, and follow-up survey that assessed satisfaction with pain control, symptoms, and abortion experience. Using medians test, we compared the sums of median satisfaction scores between patients who used marijuana versus non-users. Based on diary entries, we also compared reported pain over 24 h after misoprostol (area under the curve [AUC]) between cohorts.
    Results: We enrolled 51 participants; 16 marijuana users and 35 non-marijuana users. Marijuana users and non-users had similar sums of median satisfaction scores (22 vs. 20 out of 30, p = 0.90) and median question-specific satisfaction scores (range 7-8 vs. 6.5-8, p = 0.6-1.0). Sixteen marijuana users (100%) and 20 (57%) non-users completed their pain diary; median AUCs for pain were similar (65.0 vs. 59.5, p = 0.73). Thirteen (81%) patients subjectively correlated marijuana use with pain reduction, seven (44%) with anxiety reduction, and six (38%) with nausea/vomiting improvement.
    Conclusions: We found no significant difference in measures of medication abortion satisfaction and pain when comparing marijuana users to non-users. However, marijuana users often attributed symptom improvement during their medication abortion to marijuana use.
    Implications: Until randomized studies are available, clinicians can counsel patients that marijuana use may not necessarily affect satisfaction or pain with medication abortion. It remains unknown whether marijuana has potential benefits in a marijuana-naïve population undergoing medication abortion. Future studies should explore the role that marijuana and its derivatives may play for pain and side effect management during medication abortion among marijuana-naïve patients.

    Abstract Permanent contraception remains one of the most popular methods of contraception worldwide. This article has reviewed recent literature related to demographic characteristics of users, prevalence of use and trends over time, surgical techniques, and barriers to obtain the procedure. We have emphasized the patient's perspective as a key element of choosing permanent contraception. This review has incorporated sections on salpingectomy, hysteroscopy, unmet need, impact of policies at religiously affiliated institutions, and reproductive coercion.

    Abstract Objective: The objective was to identify predictors of postabortion long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) initiation to increase providers' understanding of motivators of contraceptive choices.
    Study design: We prospectively enrolled a cohort of women having abortions at <13 weeks' gestational age who were eligible to receive no-cost contraceptive methods immediately postprocedure (N=1662) to evaluate the demographic and reproductive factors associated with choosing and receiving a long-acting contraceptive versus a short-acting method. We used stepwise logistic regression to identify independent predictors of LARC initiation.
    Results: During the study period, 1072 (64.5%) chose an immediate postabortion LARC method and 590 (35.5%) chose another method. Compared to the group of women who chose a non-LARC method, women who chose a LARC method were more likely to have a surgical abortion and were younger, more likely to be Hispanic, more likely to live greater than 70 miles from the clinic, more likely to have a nonurban address and less likely to have had a prior abortion.
    Conclusions: We found that the differences in the demographic and reproductive factors of women choosing and receiving postabortion LARC were those which have been shown to be associated with difficulty in accessing contraception. Providers should offer a full range of contraceptive options to women immediately postabortion.
    Implications: Postabortion LARC is more likely to be utilized by women from groups who have been shown to have difficulty accessing traditional family planning clinical care: those who are young, do not live in a city and are from groups with recognized health disparities. Offering postabortion LARC increases the options for these women.

    Abstract Abstract Regulation of Ca2+ signaling is critical for the progression of cell division, especially during meiosis to prepare the egg for fertilization. The primary Ca2+ influx pathway in oocytes is Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry (SOCE). SOCE is tightly regulated during meiosis, including internalization of the SOCE channel, Orai1. Orai1 is a four-pass membrane protein with cytosolic N- and C-termini. Orai1 internalization requires a caveolin binding motif (CBM) in the N-terminus as well as the C-terminal cytosolic domain. However, the molecular determinant for Orai1 endocytosis in the C-terminus are not known. Here we show that the Orai1 C-terminus modulates Orai1 endocytosis during meiosis through a structural motif that is based on the strength of the C-terminal intersubunit coiled coil (CC) domains. Deletion mutants show that a minimal C-terminal sequence after transmembrane domain 4 (residues 260–275) supports Orai1 internalization. We refer to this region as the C-terminus Internalization Handle (CIH). Access to CIH however is dependent on the strength of the intersubunit CC. Mutants that increase the stability of the coiled coil prevent internalization independent of specific mutation. We further used human and Xenopus Orai isoforms with different propensity to form C-terminal CC and show a strong correlation between the strength of the CC and Orai internalization. Furthermore, Orai1 internalization does not depend on clathrin, flotillin or PIP2. Collectively these results argue that Orai1 internalization requires both the N-terminal CBM and C-terminal CIH where access to CIH is controlled by the strength of intersubunit C-terminal CC.

    Abstract The vaccine efficacy of standard-dose seasonal inactivated influenza vaccines (S-IIV) can be improved by the use of vaccines with higher antigen content or adjuvants. We conducted a randomized controlled trial in older adults to compare cellular and antibody responses of S-IIV versus enhanced vaccines (eIIV): MF59-adjuvanted (A-eIIV), high-dose (H-eIIV), and recombinant-hemagglutinin (HA) (R-eIIV). All vaccines induced comparable H3-HA-specific IgG and elevated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity at day 30 post vaccination. H3-HA-specific ADCC responses were greatest following H-eIIV. Only A-eIIV increased H3-HA-IgG avidity, HA-stalk IgG and ADCC activity. eIIVs also increased polyfunctional CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses, while cellular immune responses were skewed toward single-cytokine-producing T cells among S-IIV subjects. Our study provides further immunological evidence for the preferential use of eIIVs in older adults as each vaccine platform had an advantage over the standard-dose vaccine in terms of NK cell activation, HA-stalk antibodies, and T cell responses.
