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

Maternal and perinatal outcomes of failed prostaglandin induction of labour: A retrospective cohort study

Heliyon, 2023
Background: Induction of labor is performed in up to 25% of pregnant women. When the cervix is unfavorable, cervical ripening may be safely and effectively performed using slow-release vaginal inserts of prostaglandin E2.

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 ...
