Podcasts about dalkon shield

Modern IUDs - intrauterine devices - are a safe form of contraception for most women. But this wasn't always the case. Author Chikako Takeshita traces the history and development of these devices, originally created for population control in 1960s, and talks about one IUD in particular, the Dalkon Shield, which would cause widespread harm to the women who used it, and in some cases, had lethal consequences.Click the 'Follow' button for more women's health stories.Show notes:The Global Biopolitics of the IUD: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262547840/the-global-biopolitics-of-the-iud/Chikako Takeshita: Associate Professor at the University of California Riverside - https://profiles.ucr.edu/app/home/profile/chikakotMore information about IUDs: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/24441-intrauterine-device-iud   New to Overlooked?

Getting an IUD can be painful. Really painful. Last month, new regulations came out in the US about managing this pain. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that before anyone gets an IUD, patients should be counseled on pain management ahead of time.

In the early 1970s, the Dalkon Shield was the hottest and most popular IUD on the market. Spearheaded by 4 men who claim that this is the most successful contraceptive out there, why wouldn't we believe them? But then women started to get sick. And die.

Don't call it a comeback! -- Giuli and Cat are back, back again with an insanely poignant and frustrating case. This week we explore the development of the Dalkon Shield, a once deemed "revolutionary" contraceptive that destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of women around the world. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ms-murder/support

The Dalkon Shield was a birth control created with profit in mind to create basically the most horrible IUD ever made. Multiple red flags quickly came to light and were ultimately ignored, resulting in the death of over 20 women.What we DIDN'T tell you about this episode is that one of us accidentally became painfully high right as we began to record. This PERSON couldn't read a fucking label and accidentally drank 20 mgs of THC

The Dalkon Shield was an IUD developed in the 1960s by OB-GYN Hugh Davis with electrical engineer Irwin Lerner.  They brought in a lawyer, Robert Cohn, to help them form The Dalkon Corp.  Because The Dalkon Corp had no sales force, they decided to sell the product to another company.  That company was AH Robins, who made Robitussin and chapstick, among other things.  After more than a decade, many findings came out about the Dalkon Shield.  Instead of using a monofilament string, this IUD used hundreds of tiny filaments covered by an open-ended sheath.  The tiny spaces between the filaments provided a ladder for bacteria to climb from the vagina to the sterile uterus. In this episode, we recount the many, many times this was brought as a concern to officials at AH Robins and the equally many times the concern was dismissed.  A quality control manager plays the hero and keeps expressing concern until he loses his job.  Ultimately, AH Robins had to pay out millions to their female victims that suffered unmentionable medical issues. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/entertainment/books/1985/11/17/the-dalkon-shield-disaster/6c58f354-fa50-46e5-877a-10d96e1de610/ https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/dalkon-shield#:~:text=The%20Dalkon%20Shield%20was%20an,was%20supposed%20to%20prevent%20pregnancy. https://crimejunkiepodcast.com/white-collar-dalkon-shield/ Learn more about #QualityMatters & Texas Quality Assurance :LinkedIn | Facebook | Twitter  | Instagram  | YouTubewww.qmcast.com | Texas Quality Assurance

After a brief hiatus we are coming in hot with a beakful of information from Mama Bird about the Dalkon Shield, the earliest human IUD that was as dangerous as it was crablike and the consequences of its inventor who profited from it long after production ground to a halt in America.

This week we share some sick scandals from a time long ago and a more recent #SiliconScam that are worth throwing some shade at.

Misplaced fears about IUDs have caused them to be avoided by many women, despite the fact that they are very safe and among the most effective means for contraception. In this JAMA Clinical Reviews podcast, we review long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) and how contraceptive practices were affected by the Dalkon Shield tragedy.

A pharmaceutical company looks the other way as its promising new birth control product, the Dalkon Shield intrauterine device (IUD), endangers the lives of more than 2 million women around the world.

Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) like intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants are becoming increasingly popular as birth control methods. Between 2011 and 2013, the number of women using an IUD increased 83 percent from the previous four years, according to a 2015 report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics. Though today LARCs are recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists as very safe and effective methods of birth control, they have a troubled history that have made many people slow to accept them. In the second episode of our miniseries CHOICE/LESS: The Backstory, Loretta Ross, one of the founding mothers of the reproductive justice movement, talks about how her experience with the infamous Dalkon Shield IUD inspired her career as a human rights activist. Note: This updated episode features a correction of a minor audio issue from the previous version.
