intrauterine device

Examples of intrauterine device in the following topics:

• Contraception and Birth Control

  • Contraception, also known as birth control, is methods or devices used to prevent pregnancy.
  • The same rate can be achieved through the sterilization procedures of vasectomy in the man or of tubal ligation in the woman, or by using an intrauterine device (IUD).
  • An intrauterine device, or IUD, is implanted inside a woman's uterus, causing the uterus to respond with slight inflammation.

• Biofilms and Disease

  • They produce dental plaque and colonize catheters, prostheses, transcutaneous and orthopedic devices, contact lenses, and internal devices such as pacemakers.

• Platelets and Coagulation Factors

  • Non-physiological flow conditions (especially high values of shear stress) caused by arterial stenosis or artificial devices (e.g. mechanical heart valves or blood pumps) can also lead to platelet activation.

• Signaling Molecules and Cellular Receptors

  • A cell phone's ability to send and receive messages makes it an ideal communication device.

• The Diversity of Life

  • The comparison of homologous DNA and RNA sequences provided Woese with a sensitive device that revealed the extensive variability of prokaryotes, and which justified the separation of the prokaryotes into two domains: bacteria and archaea.

• Phylum Chordata

  • In many of the invertebrate chordates, these function as suspension feeding devices; in vertebrates, they have been modified for gas exchange, jaw support, hearing, and other functions.

• Scientific Reasoning

  • Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the burrs' gripping device was more reliable than a zipper.

• Mammalian Systems and Protective Mechanisms

  • If particulates make it beyond the nose or enter via the mouth, the bronchi and bronchioles contain several protective devices.
