The current study examined benefits of volunteering among women participating in Women for Women's Health (WWH), a lay health volunteers (LHV) programme implemented in Jewish and Arab communities in Israel, and aiming at empowering such women to become active volunteers and promote health activities in their communities. Two years after the introduction of WWH in each community, all 45 Jewish and 25 Arab volunteers were contacted by phone and invited to participate in the focus group discussions. Five focus group discussions were conducted with 25/42 Jewish volunteers in 2003 and four with 20/25 Arab volunteers in 2005. The other volunteers could not attend the scheduled meetings or became inactive for personal reasons. Four benefit categories were identified in both ethnic groups: 1. Personal benefits of having increased knowledge, feeling self-satisfaction, mastering new skills and performing healthy behaviours; 2. Group-social benefits of social support and sense of cohesion; 3. Purposive benefits of achieving the WWH mission and goals; 4. Sociopolitical benefits of learning to accept the other and experiencing increased solidarity. However, the relatively less privileged Arab volunteers enumerated more benefits within the personal and purposive categories. They also identified the unique sociocultural category of improving women's status in the community by creating a legitimate space for women by public sphere involvement, traditionally solely a male domain. We conclude that volunteering in community-based health promotion programmes can be an empowering experience for lay women without being exploitative. Positive volunteering benefits will be even more discernable among underprivileged women who enjoy fewer opportunities in the personal and public domains. More studies need to explore volunteering benefits as reported by LHVs, making these benefits more visible and desirable.

Factors analyzed included age, gender, mechanism of injury, anatomic site of injury, Injury Severity Score, and length of stay. Males comprised 81% of the hospitalized patients. The majority of the injuries (70%) were due to gunshot wounds and 31% of the hospitalized patients were severely injured (ISS > or = 16). Twelve patients died, yielding a mortality rate of 7.5%.

Immediately after news of a large-scale terror attack is received, family/public information centers are set up in all local hospitals to meet the needs of members of the public who call or arrive at hospitals anxious to obtain information about relatives who may have been at the site of the attack. The most urgent task facing these centers is the quick and accurate identification of victims whose identity is in question. To date, some 3000 casualties have been treated at Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center (Hadassah), a level I trauma center. This number accounts for nearly half of Israel's total number of casualties from terror attacks during this period. Extensive experience has led the hospital to develop a unique organizational model for its family/public information center; in this model, members of ...

Cost-sharing and the introduction of a co-payment have been shown to cause a reduction in the use of medical services. To assess the effects of the recently introduced co-payment for consultant specialist services on patient utilization of these services in southern Israel. Computerized utilization data on specialist services for 6 months before and 6 months after initiation of co-payment were retrieved from the database of Israel's largest health management organization. A decrease of 4.5% was found in the total number of visits to Soroka Medical Center outpatient clinics and 6.8% to community-based consultants. An increase of 20.1% was noted in the number of non-actualized visits to the outpatient clinics. A decrease of 6.2% in new visits to hospital outpatient clinics and 6.5% to community clinics was found. A logistic regression model showed that the residents of development towns and people aged 75+ and 12-34 were more like...

There is no doubt, according to many publications, that the missile attacks caused extensive long-term stress on the Israeli population. In this research, the connection between environmental stress and preterm delivery was studied. One thousand twenty-two deliveries during the war were compared to 1,027 deliveries in the previous year. The two groups showed no differences in the average gestational age, the rate of premature labor, and the cesarean section rate. The percentage of instrumental deliveries using forceps or vacuum was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the war group.

During therapy the proportion of T cells among the peripheral blood lymphocytes sharply declined from 60% to 20%. Response to T- and B-cell mitogens decreased to 20% to 40% of the original response prior to surgery. DEX-containing serum had an enhancing effect on the growth of autologous fibroblasts derived from pelvic adhesions (50% more than the effect of pretreatment serum). Pure cortisol and DEX induced a similar enhanced growth. The enhancing ability of the patients' sera disappeared 48 hours after discontinuation of DEX, corresponding to the recovery of the lymphoid system. If there is any benefit in steroid treatment to prevent pelvic adhesion formation, it is apparently not via an inhibitory effect on fibroblast proliferation. Such treatment, however, clearly suppresses the immune response of the patients during the early postoperative course.

Gastrin production by the tumor was stimulated by secretin and inhibited by the long-acting somatostatin analogue SMS 201-995. Following resection of the tumor, serum gastrin levels and the gastrin response to secretin returned to normal. Histologic examination, including Alcian blue staining for mucin and immunoperoxidase staining for gastrin, revealed gastrin at the base and mucin at the apex of the tumor cells. This report demonstrates secretin stimulation and somatostatin inhibition of gastrin secretion from a cell that is apparently not of endocrine origin.

The overall cesarean rate was 9.6%. Of all the parturients with one previous cesarean section 55.1% delivered vaginally. A previous CS and labor arrest were the major indications for a repeated CS in 28.7% and 26.4%, respectively. Rupture of the uterus following vaginal delivery was found more often in the group with a previous CS than in those with no uterine scar (1.2% and 0.03%, respectively), (P less than 0.0001). None of the uterine ruptures was fatal neither to the mother nor to the fetus. Post partum fever appeared more often among vaginal deliveries following a CS than among those with no uterine scar. However, CS is followed by fever 10.8 times more than vaginal delivery. Intrapartum and neonatal death rates following vaginal delivery were similar for those with or without a previous CS (3.42% and 3.38%, respectively). An ...

The cesarean section rate was 9.6% and the perinatal mortality rate was 13.5/1000. Using a logistic regression analysis the risk factors for cesarean section and for perinatal mortality were ranked. Breech presentation and one uterine scar were found to be the most important risk factors for cesarean section and breech presentation, maternal disease and multiple pregnancy for perinatal mortality. Low birth weight rate was 6.9% with nonsignificant differences between the various ethnic groups. The national cesarean section rate in breech presentation was 57.8%. It was performed mainly at the extremes of birth weight. From those with one previous cesarean section 55.1% delivered vaginally and 44.9% abdominally. The chance for vaginal delivery is higher (67.2%) providing the woman had delivered vaginally in the past. Comparison between primiparae and multiparae showed that preeclampsia, hypertension and di...

Their brother, a normal phenotypic and genotypic male, was azoospermic due to primary germinative failure. Parental consanguinity was observed, suggesting an autosomal recessive inheritance. This is the first reported family in which both an otherwise healthy male and two females were affected by gonadal germinative failure. Endocrine studies showed impaired gonadal function in the three affected siblings. The two females with gonadal dysgenesis and the azoospermic male shared one human leukocyte antigen haplotype; the second haplotype, however, was different. The common haplotype was also found in the oligomenorrheic sister whose gonadotropin-releasing hormone test was compatible with normal ovarian function, in the mother, and in one of her offspring who had a normal spermiogram. Hence, linkage between human leukocyte antigens and gonadal failure in this family had been excluded. The possible etiology...
