Le centre de la santé et de l’éducation des femmes a eu l’honneur pour lancer ce projet d’e-étude (WomensHealthSection.com) en association avec le département d’information publique des Nations Unies 24 octobre 2002. Nous nous embarquons une nouvelle ère dans la médecine et les soins de santé. Notre mission est de rendre la médecine preuve-basée disponible aux assistances nationales et internationales. Pour atteindre la communauté globale et pour servir les besoins nationaux et internationaux, le texte est disponible dans six langues : Arabe, chinois, (les USA) anglais, français, russe, et Espagnol. Le programme de notre projet est conçu pour soumettre à une contrainte les éditions comparatrices et journalières de santé-soin chez la santé des femmes. Surtout, cependant, nous espérons que le contenu motivera la future recherche qui augmentera plus loin l’arrangement de la santé reproductrice. L’éducation est le meilleur cadeau dans la durée de vie à donner et recevoir. La gratitude est exprimée à M. Paul Hoeffel, chef, département de chapitre d’O.N.G. d’information publique des Nations Unies pour son amitié, support et conseils. Il croit passionément en sagesse fondamentale dans les avis des fournisseurs de soins de santé de partout dans le monde, une idée qu’il a poursuivie avec l’intégrité et l’énergie, lumière d’effusion de côté personnel et spirituel de durée de vie humaine. Lui je dois ma plus grande créance comme inspiration pour ce projet d’e-étude. J’ai été très chanceux pour travailler avec le solenoïde Oca, officier de l’information, département de chapitre d’O.N.G. de l’information publique des Nations Unies. Nous sommes reconnaissants à elle pour son support continu à ce projet. Je suis reconnaissant à tous mes amis et collègues de divers hôpitaux et universités d’enseignement respectables partout des Etats-Unis et d’autres pays, qui sont comportés de moi dans ce projet. Leur amitié et support a fait à ce projet d’enchaînement-étude un grand succès. Nous sommes dans l’attente pour travailler avec n’importe qui qui est intéressé par l’amélioration maternelle et la santé enfantile. J’ai été très chanceux pour travailler avec Victoria A. White, Président, eclecTechs et son équipe extraordinaire sur ce projet d’e-étude. Personnellement, car je suis sûr dans presque universellement le cas, écrivant un journal s’avère être beaucoup un plus provocant chargent qu’a été au commencement prévu. Il y a un vaste golfe entre avoir des pensées et des idées et le défi de les obtenir organisées, écrites sur le papier, et alors implacablement éditées et formées dans entier logique. Je me rappelle toujours le tout premier jour où j’ai discuté ce projet avec Victoria ; il m’a demandé : Que votre site Web voudrait-il faire ? J’espère que ceci apporte le bonheur et la bonne volonté dans le monde. Nous espérons faire une différence. Merci de nouveau Rita Luthra, MDRead More

I underwent my basic medical training at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, at the time considered to be the leading medical center in Africa. I subsequently rotated through the specialties of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Surgery, Emergency Room, Pediatrics and Internal Medicine. After initial training in Obstetrics and Gynecology in Nigeria, I proceeded to the United Kingdom for training in Obstetrics and Gynecology, obtaining Membership of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in 1997 Working as Registrar to Professor Stuart Campbell, a pioneer and leading authority in Maternal-Fetal Medicine, I had training in the management of high-risk pregnancies. In my years of training, I have had the opportunity of working closely with such leaders in the field as Anthony Vintzileos, M.D., Yves Ville, M.D., Anthony Scialli, M.D., Stuart Stanton, M.D., Tom Bourne, M.D., Ph.D., John T. Queenan, M.D., John C. Smulian, M.D., and Cande V. Ananth, Ph.D., M.P.H. I have authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in leading obstetrics and gynecology journals. In addition, I have contributed seven chapters in major maternal-fetal medicine, obstetrics and ultrasound textbooks. I am a referee and reviewer for seven leading journals in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Imaging. I have been ranked by Obstetrics & Gynecology, the most prestigious journal in the field, with a circulation in excess of 46,000 and an impact factor of 3.512, among the top 10% of reviewers for the journal. I am also rated among the top 5% of reviewers for Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, considered the most respected journal in obstetrical and gynecological imaging. My work has been cited in virtually every major obstetric text as well as in numerous journal articles. My work is also cited in the practice guidelines of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the official educational guide (Prolog) in Obstetrics of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. I was invited to write editorials for Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology and American Family Physician (readership in excess of 190,000). I have had front cover articles in two of the leading journals. I have been interviewed for numerous newspaper articles (Dallas Home News, The Greenville News, the New Jersey Star-Ledger, Pregnancy Today, Boca Raton News, Intellihealth.Com, the Statesman, and Prevention magazine). My primary area of interest is Maternal-Fetal Medicine, with particular interests in abnormalities of the placenta and umbilical cord, prenatal diagnosis, ultrasound, and intrapartum and operative obstetrics. I enjoy teaching medical students and other residents and have been recognized with numerous teaching awards. My research presentations have won the First Prizes at the New Jersey Maternal-Fetal Medicine Society in 2003, 2004, and 2006 as well as the New York Perinatal Society in 2005. As a Chief Resident at Georgetown University Medical Center, I received the First Place award at the Resident Research Day. I have also presented my work at numerous National and International conferences including the World Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology, World Congress of Controversies in Obstetrics, Gynecology and Infertility, the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, the International Society for Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, the Annual Clinical Meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine, the Society for Gynecologic Investigation, and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Course on Audit. Recently, my focus of research has changed to basic science. In collaboration with Dr Morgan Peltier, PhD, Director of the Perinatal Biology Laboratory at Robert Wood Johnson University Medical School, I am examining the effect of progesterone at a cellular level on the mediators of preterm labor and cervical ripening. The first of these experiments “Effect of progesterone on Nitric oxide production by bacteria-stimulated endocervical and vaginal epithelial cells” and “Effect of experimental preterm premature rupture of the membranes on fetal weight “were presented at the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine 26th Annual Clinical Meeting in Miami, Florida in February 2006. Further experiments are being prepared for publicationRead More

In 2006, Women’s Health and Education Center (WHEC) began developing scientifically based practice guidelines / Practice Bulletins. The guidelines are derived from the best available evidence of clinical efficacy and consideration of costs, with recommendations explicitly linked to the evidence. These evidence-based practice guidelines are intended to be a means of improving the quality of healthcare, decreasing its cost, and diminishing professional liability. They are proscriptive in nature and, therefore, directive in approach. Our physician’s board identifies, evaluate, and synthesize evidence from the medical literature to produce practice guidelines. It is provided to serve as a readily available introduction to and overview of the topic. WomensHealthSection.com is designed as a resource for healthcare providers and general public to offer a better understanding of reproductive health and cultural understanding. The articles in e-learning publication WomensHealthSection.com provide an overview of current clinical management guidelines in Women’s Health, focusing on the components integral to providing optimum care. The articles are designed for all members of the interdisciplinary team: physicians, physician’s-assistants, nurse practitioners, midwives, nurses, social workers, therapists and other members seeking to enhance their knowledge of women’s health and appropriate care and management. WomensHealthSection.com is a vision for the Globalized World. The use of information science and telecommunications to support the practice of medicine when distance separates the caregiver from the patient is the way forward to make medical care more affordable and more accessible in every country. Our goal is to promote excellence in the clinical practice of obstetrics and gynecology and closely related fields. The emphasis on evidence-based medicine has taken on new and greater importance as the environment of clinical medicine grows more diverse, with increased access to more information by both physicians and patients and the changing allocation of resources. Practice guidelines are a formal synthesis of evidence, developed according to a rigorous research and review process. Each section is devoted to a particular series. These series are developed by committees of experts and reviewed by leaders in the specialty and the editorial board of the Women’s Health and Education Center. The contribution of the many groups and individuals who participate in the process is gratefully acknowledged. As the practice of medicine evolves, so too do WHEC Practice Bulletins. WomensHealthSection.com educates health care professionals about conditions that are exclusive to women, more prevalent in women, or are diagnosed or treated differently in women versus men. This publication presents unbiased, comprehensive, concise, and clinically relevant review articles and practical sections. The articles are peer reviewed to maintain the highest quality and to verify clinical relevance, medical accuracy, and clarity of presentation. The most insightful and thought-provoking articles are now available in a single portal. All WHEC Practice Bulletins are reviewed 18 to 24 months after publication and are revised, reaffirmed, or withdrawn. Welcome to the Working Group of WHEC!Read More
