Effect of Castor Oil on Cervical Ripening and Labor Induction: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Journal of Pharmacopuncture, 2022
Objectives: Post-term pregnancy is a condition associated with increased maternal and fetal complications. Administration of castor oil causes cervical stimulation by increasing the production of prostaglandins.

Vaginal Isosorbide Mononitrate and Misoprostol for Induction of Cervical Ripening Prior to 1st Trimester Surgical Evacuation of Retained Products of Conception

Journal of Rawalpindi Medical College, 2010
Background: To compare the effect of vaginal isosorbide mononitrate with misoprostol for cervical ripening in women with first trimester missed abortion before surgical evacuation of uterus. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, hundred patients,

Histological Aspects of Cervical Ripening

The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1976
There is a close relationship between the rate of the uterine cervix opening during parturition and the presence or absence of a completely ripened cervix. In order to learn the basic pattern of the ripening of cervix, histological and histochemical studies were performed on the human uterine cervix during pregnancy.

Cervical ripening at home or in hospital during induction of labour: the CHOICE prospective cohort study, process evaluation and economic analysis

Health Technology Assessment
Background Around one in three pregnant women undergoes induction of labour in the United Kingdom, usually preceded by in-hospital cervical ripening to soften and open the cervix.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Increased single-balloon Foley catheter volume for induction of labor and time to delivery: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2018
INTRODUCTION: Induction of labor is a common intervention. The objective was to investigate whether larger Foley catheter volumes for labor induction decrease the total time from induction to delivery.

Women and birth partners’ experiences of cervical ripening at home and in hospital

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
Background In the United Kingdom, induction of labour rates are rapidly rising, and around a third of pregnant women undergo the procedure. The first stage, cervical ripening, traditionally carried out in hospital, is increasingly offered outpatient – or

Prediction of an effective cervical ripenning in the induction of labour using vaginal dinoprostone

Scientific Reports, 2023
To develop a predictive model for successful cervical ripening in women that undergo induction of labour by means of a vaginal prostaglandin slow-release delivery system (Propess®).  Prospective observational study on 204 women that required induction of

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...
