American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1967Abstract Eighteen cases of induced labor at or near term were monitored with continuous amniotic pressure recordings, and the intensity, frequency, and uterine activity of contractions were measured. Epidural anesthesia was given at varying points in the first stage and maintained until delivery, and the progress of labor in terms of time-dilatation ...

Acute Abdomen-Induced Preterm Labor
2018The specific issue with acute abdomen during pregnancy is that many underlying conditions result in inflammation and infection which raise prostaglandin levels which are crucial for the normal progress of labor.

Nitric Oxide Metabolites in Preterm and Induced Labor
Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation, 2003<i>Background:</i> Nitric oxide has potent relaxant effects on the pregnant uterus and has been associated with a quiescent uterus in animal and human studies. Nitric oxide donors have been used to arrest preterm labor and a reduction in nitric oxide production has been reported before the onset of labor.

Labor induces a maternal inflammatory response syndrome
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2004We studied the effect of labor on maternal neutrophil phenotype.Neutrophil apoptosis with inflammatory cytokines and the expression of CD11b, CD34 and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) were assessed with flow cytometry in women at uncomplicated vaginal delivery (VD), and elective cesarean section (ElCS) without labor, emergency cesarean section with (EmCSL+)

Reproductive performance after prostaglandin-induced labor
Prostaglandins, 1977The data of this follow-up study fail to prove that elective induction of labor at term by amniotomy and intravenously or orally administered PGF2alpha or PGE2 has an untoward effect on reproductive performance. If, however, the procedure is complicated by a serious degree of sustained uterine hyperstimulation, permanent damage to the internal cervical
