Indigent Women And Access To Prenatal Care, Zoe Ann Zelazny
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
One aspect of America's health care system that illustrates the great need for health care reform, but receives little attention, is prenatal care. The United States has the second worst newborn mortality rate in the developed world. Adequate prenatal care results in healthier babies, more full-term babies delivered, and a decrease in other serious problems related to pregnancy and health care costs.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (Pcos) In Urban India, Heidi A. Manlove
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
This thesis research focuses on urban women in India diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a complex metabolic, endocrine and reproductive disorder affecting approximately 5-10% of the female population in developed countries.

Festival of Communities: UG Symposium (Posters)

WHO estimates between 100 and 140 million girls and women worldwide currently live with the consequences of FGM. The study finds that through corrective surgery, pre/post therapy, counseling, and sexual education victims to FGM can regain sexual pleasure providing them a chance to be “Whole” once again.
