    Summary: This book provides to nurses an understanding of female sexual function and dysfunction specifically in relation to common gynecological conditions. It offers evidence based overview of assessment of sexual function, including available questionnaires and provides a multidisciplinary approach to managing sexual dysfunction, from incontinence to pelvic organ prolapse and recurrent urinary tract infections. It also covers a holistic approach including over the counter and home treatments, psychological therapies, physical therapies, pharmacological options and if necessary more invasive interventions. Sexual function and pelvic floor dysfunction is often a neglected area due to the taboo nature of discussions. This book aims to educate nurses, to help them understand the types of treatment options available, and encourage them to engage in conversations about sexual function with women, so that they can be referred to appropriate health professionals and access the right care.

    DNA molecules of seven T7 mutants with overlapping deletions in the early region were cleaved by restriction enzymes HindII, HpaI and II, and HaeIII. The differences in the cleavage patterns after electrophoresis have been used to generate a cleavage map of the restriction sites of this enzyme. It covers the first 9% of the T7 DNA molecule. Cleavage points for HindII are at 0.60, 1.33, 1.59, 1.76, 5.26, 6.27, 7.4 and 8.38%; for HpaI and II at 1.36, 1.62, 4.46, 6.29, 6.62, 7.56, and 8.76%, for HaeIII at 3.85, 6.98, 7.88 and 8.26%. Some fragments have been located in the region containing the early promoters, others carry the complete sequences of gene 0.3.
