The driving force of labor productivity [PDF]

arXiv, 2008
Labor productivity in developed countries is analyzed and modeled. Modeling is based on our previous finding that the rate of labor force participation is a unique function of GDP per capita. Therefore, labor productivity is fully determined by the rate of economic growth, and thus, is a secondary economic variable. Initially, we assess a model for the

The effectiveness of a cesarean delivery bundle with vaginal preparation, cefazolin, and azithromycin in reducing postoperative infections: A before‐and‐after study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of a cesarean delivery (CD) bundle including preoperative vaginal preparation, cefazolin and azithromycin administration, compared with cefazolin alone, in reducing postoperative infections, among women undergoing CD during the second stage of labor.

Development and validation of a pudendal nerve block simulation‐based educational intervention

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Pudendal nerve block in modern obstetric practice is essential to providing comprehensive care. However, as clinical exposure declines, training opportunities also diminish. We aimed to develop and study an effective and reproducible simulation‐based educational intervention for teaching pudendal nerve block.

Use of What-if Scenarios to Help Explain Artificial Intelligence Models for Neonatal Health [PDF]

arXiv
Early detection of intrapartum risk enables interventions to potentially prevent or mitigate adverse labor outcomes such as cerebral palsy. Currently, there is no accurate automated system to predict such events to assist with clinical decision-making.

Emotional Labor in Mathematics: Reflections on Mathematical Communities, Mentoring Structures, and EDGE [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Terms such as "affective labor" and "emotional labor" pepper feminist critiques of the workplace. Though there are theoretical nuances between the two phrases, both kinds of labor involve the management of emotions; some acts associated with these constructs involve caring, listening, comforting, reassuring, and smiling.

PSFHS Challenge Report: Pubic Symphysis and Fetal Head Segmentation from Intrapartum Ultrasound Images [PDF]

arXiv
Segmentation of the fetal and maternal structures, particularly intrapartum ultrasound imaging as advocated by the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) for monitoring labor progression, is a crucial first step for quantitative diagnosis and clinical decision-making.

Uterine muscle networks: Connectivity analysis of the EHG during pregnancy and Labor [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
In this paper, we propose a new framework to analyze the electrical activity of the uterus recorded by electrohysterography (EHG), from abdominal electrodes (a grid of 4x4 electrodes) during pregnancy and labor. We evaluate the potential use of the synchronization between EHG signals in characterizing electrical activity of the uterus during pregnancy ...

Spontaneous conception and pregnancy outcomes after multi‐agent chemotherapy and high‐dose radiotherapy for pelvic Ewing sarcoma: Case report and literature review

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Ewing sarcoma is an aggressive, rare bone and soft tissue malignancy, often affecting the long bones and pelvis. A woman was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma of the left pelvis at 18 years of age. She underwent left paravesical lesion resection with ipsilateral ureteral reimplantation and received combined multi‐agent chemotherapy and high‐dose ...

Conceiving Naturally After IVF: the effect of assisted reproduction on obstetric interventions and child health at birth [PDF]

arXiv
A growing share of the world's population is being born via assisted reproductive technology (ART), including in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). However, two concerns persist. First, ART pregnancies correlate with predictors of poor outcomes at birth--and it is unclear whether this relationship is causal. Second, the emotional and financial costs associated
