- Abstract
The article provides updates related to family planning in different countries of the world. Premature infants who hear lullabies while in neonatal intensive care may reap important health and developmental benefits, according to a number of studies by a music therapy specialist. Seventy-eight percent of mother-daughter pairs in a nationwide survey said they rarely discuss menopause, and those who do seldom talk specifically about its physical or emotional consequences. The annual number of Japanese men and women with newly diagnosed HIV rose throughout the 1990s, but the number newly identified as having AIDS leveled off toward the end of the decade. In 1997, 1.18 million induced abortions were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3% fewer than in the previous year. Preliminary data suggest that the number of abortions declined in 34 of 52 reporting areas (the 50 states, New York City and the District of Columbia). The overall abortion ratio showed a similar change, dropping from 314 abortions per 1,000 live births in 1996 to 305 per 1,000th 1997.
