An intrauterine device (IUD), also known as intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD or ICD) or coil, is a small, often T-shaped birth control device that is inserted into a woman's uterus to prevent pregnancy. IUDs are one form of long-acting reversible birth control (LARC).
Occiput or cephalic — the baby's head is down, and the baby is facing the mother's abdomen. This position results in back pain and a prolonged labor. Transverse — the baby is lying crosswise in the uterus, side-to-side over the mother's pelvis, in a horizontal position rather than vertical.

Through a resectoscope, the obstructing lobes of the prostate are removed as tissue chips to relieve bladder outlet obstruction. The silent recording is presented for education in urology surgery. The recording runs close to ten minutes in total.

If cytology results are positive, HPV DNA testing is performed. If cytology results are negative, the sample for HPV DNA is discarded. HPV DNA testing along with Pap smear at 3 years is recommended if initial cytology shows ASC-US but HPV DNA testing is negative
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that develops from the cells of
the breast. It is the most common type of cancer among women in
the United States. It is most often curable when found early. The
normal breast consists of three main components: the lobules
(milk-producing glands), the ducts (thin tubes that connect the
lobules to the nipple) and the stroma (fatty tissue and ligaments
surrounding the ducts and lobules, blood vessels, and lymphatic
vessels). About 80% of breast cancers start in the ducts.
This urology video demonstrates Foley catheter insertion in both male and female patients. The recording shows the sterile technique used to place an indwelling urinary catheter, a routine procedure in hospital, surgical, and nursing care. Urinary catheters drain the bladder when a patient cannot pass urine normally.
