The article explores the frequency and intensity of childcare provided by grandparents. It uses the 2006/2007 SHARE data for 12 countries with a special focus on the Czech Republic. Past research usually distinguishes between the North-European model with high frequency and low intensity grand-parenting and the Southern-European model with low frequency and high intensity grand-parenting. This article shows that the Czech Republic - along with Germany and Austria - cannot be easily classified into these two broad patterns. Czech grandparents tend to participate in childcare with low frequency and low intensity, particularly in the case of children under 3 years of age. Low maternal labor force participation is used as an argument explaining this finding., Dana Hamplová., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Užívání hormonální antikoncepce je považováno za rizikový faktor vzniku hluboké žilní trombózy a plicní embolie. Od zavedení hormonální antikoncepce v 60. letech 20. století byl u jejích uživatelek pozorován častější výskyt těchto komplikací. Nejnovější studie pak ukázaly dvakrát vyšší riziko vzniku žilní trombózy při užívání kombinovaných preparátů obsahujících progestiny třetí generace (desogestrel, gestoden, norgestimate) ve srovnávání s progestiny druhé generace (levonorgestrel a norgestrel), ačkoli progestiny třetí generace neprokázaly žádný klinicky významný benefit. Přičemž riziko vzniku hluboké žilní trombózy je ještě vyšší u neperorálních forem hormonální antikoncepce (vaginální kroužek, transdermální náplast)., Since the early 1960s, it has been well documented that combined hormonal contraceptives increase the risk of venous thrombosis. Second and third generation oral contraceptives (OCs) differ in their progestin component. Third generation OCs contain desogestrel, gestodene or norgestimate while second generation OCs contain norgestrel or levonorgestrel. In spite of the fact that the third generation OCs have not shown any clinically significant benefit over the second generation OC, multiple studies and two meta‑analyses show that the third generation OC containing desogestrel are associated with approximately doubled risk of venous thrombosis. The newer generation of oral formulations, as well as non‑oral contraceptives (transdermal and vaginal), were recently studied for thrombotic risk. In the context of contraceptives use, the non‑oral route of ethinyl‑estradiol administration seems to be more thrombogenic than the oral route., and Nováčková M.
