Prospective observational study investigating the effectiveness, safety, women’s experiences and quality of life at 3 months regarding cervical ripening methods for induction of labor at term—The MATUCOL study protocol

PLoS ONE, 2022
Background The purposes of successful induction of labor (IOL) are to shorten the time for IOL to delivery, increase the vaginal delivery rate, and reduce the rate of maternal and neonatal morbidity. In cases of unfavorable cervix (Bishop score

Cervical ripening in prolonged pregnancies by silicone double balloon catheter versus vaginal dinoprostone slow release system: The MAGPOP randomised controlled trial.

PLoS Medicine, 2021
BackgroundProlonged pregnancies are a frequent indication for induction of labour. When the cervix is unfavourable, cervical ripening before oxytocin administration is recommended to increase the likelihood of vaginal delivery, but no particular method ...

Cervical ripening at home or in-hospital—prospective cohort study and process evaluation (CHOICE) study: a protocol

BMJ Open, 2021
Introduction The aim of the cervical ripening at home or in-hospital—prospective cohort study and process evaluation (CHOICE) study is to compare home versus in-hospital cervical ripening to determine whether home cervical ripening is safe (for the ...

Inflammatory Changes and Composition of Collagen during Cervical Ripening in Cows [PDF]

Animals, 2022
Dystocia and stillbirths in cows pose a high risk of loss of both dams and fetuses, thereby resulting in high economic losses. One of the causes of these problems is birth canal abnormalities.

The Role of the NLRP3 Inflammasome in the Molecular and Biochemical Mechanisms of Cervical Ripening: A Comprehensive Review [PDF]

Cells
The uterine cervix is one of the key factors involved in ensuring a proper track of gestation and labor. At the end of the gestational period, the cervix undergoes extensive changes, which can be summarized as a transformation from a non-favorable cervix

Safety and Efficacy of Oral Mifepristone for Cervical Ripening in Single Live Intrauterine Term Unscarred Pregnancies

Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences
Background: Mifepristone results in cervical ripening in females undergoing pregnancy termination. It causes cervical ripening via blockage of progesterone receptors. Aim: The present study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of oral Mifepristone for
