Quantitative cervicovaginal fetal fibronectin as a predictor of cervical ripening and induced labour duration in late-term pregnancy

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2023
We evaluated quantitative cervicovaginal foetal-fibronectin as a predictor of cervical ripening and labour duration in late-term pregnant women with an unfavourable cervix.

Immune cells and preterm labour:do invariant NKT cells hold the key? [PDF]

, 2015
We have developed our original made-to-measure (M2M) algorithm, PRIMAL, with the aim of modelling the Galactic disc from upcoming Gaia data. From a Milky Way like N-body disc galaxy simulation, we have created mock Gaia data using M0III stars as tracers,

Differences in Inflammatory Markers between Nulliparous Women Admitted to Hospitals in Preactive vs Active Labor [PDF]

, 2015
Objective To determine whether labor-associated inflammatory markers differ between low-risk, nulliparous women in preactive vs active labor at hospital admission and over time.

Pathophysiology in postterm pregnancy : Epidemiology, risk factors and cervical ripening [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Postterm pregnancy, defined as a pregnancy of 42 or more completed weeks of gestation, occurs in approximately 5-10 % of all pregnancies. The condition is associated with increased maternal and fetal morbidity as well as an increased risk

Comparison of primiparous womenʼs childbirth experience in labor induction with cervical ripening by balloon catheter or oral misoprostol – a prospective study using a validated childbirth experience questionnaire (CEQ) and visual analogue scale (VAS)

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 2022
Introduction Primiparity and labor induction, especially when cervical ripening is required, are risk factors for a negative childbirth experience.

Characteristic impairment of progesterone response in cultured cervical fibroblasts obtained from patients with refractory cervical insufficiency

Scientific Reports, 2023
Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of neonatal mortality, and reducing the PTB rate is one of the most critical issues in perinatal medicine. Cervical insufficiency (CI), a major cause of PTB, is characterised by premature cervical ripening in the ...

Oxytocin versus prostaglandins for labour Induction of women with an unfavourable cervix after 24 hours of cervical ripening (OPIC): protocol for an open multicentre randomised non-inferiority trial

BMJ Open, 2023
Introduction It remains uncertain whether the most appropriate management for women with an unfavourable cervix after 24 hours of cervical ripening is repeating the ripening procedure or proceeding directly to induction by oxytocin. No adequately powered
