Objective and comprehensive characterization of uterine peristaltic activity throughout the menstrual cycle by means of intracavitary electrohysterography, a cohort study [PDF]

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica
Introduction The uterus exhibits dynamic peristaltic activity across the menstrual cycle, playing a critical role in reproductive processes such as sperm transport and embryo implantation.

Detection of postpartum uterine activity with electrohysterography [PDF]

European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 2023
Uterine contractions are essential for childbirth, but also for expulsion of the placenta and for limiting postpartum blood loss. Postpartum hemorrhage is associated with almost 25% of the maternal deaths worldwide and the leading cause of maternal death in most low-income countries.

Feasibility of Transabdominal Electrohysterography for Analysis of Uterine Activity in Nonpregnant Women [PDF]

Reproductive Sciences, 2018
Uterine activity plays a key role in reproduction, and altered patterns of uterine contractility have been associated with important physiopathological conditions, such as subfertility, dysmenorrhea, and endometriosis. However, there is currently no method to objectively quantify uterine contractility outside pregnancy without interfering with the ...

Non-invasive fetal electrocardiography, electrohysterography and speckle-tracking echocardiography in the second trimester: study protocol of a longitudinal prospective cohort study (BEATS-study) [PDF]

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2021
Background Worldwide, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), fetal growth restriction (FGR) and preterm birth remain the leading causes of maternal and fetal pregnancy-related mortality and (long-term) morbidity. Fetal cardiac deformation changes can

Electrohysterography in the diagnosis of preterm birth: a review [PDF]

Physiological Measurement, 2018
Preterm birth (PTB) is one of the most common and serious complications in pregnancy. About 15 million preterm neonates are born every year, with ratios of 10-15% of total births. In industrialized countries, preterm delivery is responsible for 70% of mortality and 75% of morbidity in the neonatal period. Diagnostic means for its timely risk assessment

Electrodes in external electrohysterography: a systematic literature review. [PDF]

Biophys Rev, 2021
In low-income countries, pregnant women do not have easy access to health care, especially in rural and peri-urban areas. In this context, they can be surprised by the uterine contractions that precede childbirth and sometimes find themselves giving birth at home or on the way to the nearest health facility (located miles away from their home). In view

Optimization of Imminent Labor Prediction Systems in Women with Threatened Preterm Labor Based on Electrohysterography [PDF]

Sensors, 2021
Preterm birth is the leading cause of death in newborns and the survivors are prone to health complications. Threatened preterm labor (TPL) is the most common cause of hospitalization in the second half of pregnancy.

A Comprehensive Study of Uterine Muscle Activity During the Third Trimester: Comparison of Singleton and Multiple Gestations [PDF]

IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine
Objective: Electrohysterography (EHG) has been shown to provide valuable information for assessing preterm birth risk. However, few studies have focused on multiple gestations (MG), a well-known risk factor for preterm birth.
