Progestin-only pills (POPs) are often referred to as "mini-pills" as they contain about 75 % of the progestin dose contained in combination oral contraceptives (COCs) and no estrogen. Their typical efdoi:10.1007/978-3-319-20185-6_5Regina-Maria Renner...
CONTEXT: Despite the absence of progesterone receptor protein in human endometrial endothelial cells (HEECs), endometria of women receiving long-acting progestin-only contraceptives (LAPCs) display reduced uterine blood flow, elevated reactive oxygen species generation, increased angiogenesis, and irregularl...
Molecular mechanisms responsible for abnormal endometrial vasculature in women receiving long-acting progestin-only contraceptives (LAPCs) are unknown. We hypothesize that LAPCs impair vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) and pericyte proliferation and migration producing thin-walled hyperdilated fragile micro...

sized of 0,60 or 0.70, could be only detected with a power of 55% or 68%. For a power of 85%, 90% and 95% effect sizes of 0.86, 0.94 or even 1.04 would be necessary. Data of the present study may be used for future sample size calculations of confirmatory studies, as well as...
Progestin-only pills (POPs) are often referred to as "mini-pills" as they contain about 25鈥 75% of the progestin dose contained in combination oral contraceptives (COCs), depending on the type, and no estrogen. Their typical-use effectiveness has been shown to be slightly less than COCs...
