Phospholipids and the Onset of Labor in Rabbits
Gynecologic Investigation, 2010A soya bean oil containing predominantly phospholipids (SBP) has been known to sensitize the pregnant rabbit uterus to oxytocin, permitting premature induction of labor. We are attempting to identify the active component. Lipid class analyses of SBP revealed nonphospholipids, noncholine-containing phospholipids, and choline-containing phospholipids ...

Interleukin-8 Synthesis and the Onset of Labor
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1995To examine the role of cytokines in cervical dilation.In 55 patients undergoing cesarean delivery, we took samples from the lower uterine segment, the decidua, and the membranes. We determined the concentrations of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8, and MMP-9 in the different tissues.Depending on ...

Women's Recognition of the Spontaneous Onset of Labor
Birth, 2003Abstract: Background: Despite extensive research on the onset of labor, almost no data are available on women's perception of labor onset. We undertook a study to assess how women experience spontaneous onset of term labor.Methods: A semistructured questionnaire was given to 235 women admitted in spontaneous labor at term. Women noted when labor had

Meal patterning and the onset of spontaneous labor
Birth, 2021AbstractBackgroundThere is a lack of consensus in the literature about the association between meal patterning during pregnancy and birth outcomes. This study examined whether maternal meal patterning in the week before birth was associated with an increased likelihood of imminent spontaneous labor.MethodsData came from 607 participants in the third ...

Recognizing the Onset of Labor
Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing, 1990An experimental study compared the use of an educational technique based on patient participation with routine instructions to prepare patients to recognize the onset of active labor. The number of visits to the labor suite that resulted in the patient being discharged undelivered was significantly lower in patients who received the educational ...

Vaginal cytology for prediction of onset of labor
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1967Abstract An evaluation of the vaginal cytologic changes occurring during the last 6 weeks of gestation was carried out in 355 pregnant women. Cytologic changes in the vaginal smears that would indicate approaching labor or the likelihood of successful induction of labor do not occur regularly at the end of pregnancy.

The risk factors for labor onset hypertension
Hypertension Research, 2015Our aim was to clarify the perinatal outcomes of and risk factors for hypertension that is first detected after labor onset (labor onset hypertension, LOH), which may be a risk factor for eclampsia and stroke during labor. A total of 1349 parturient women who did not exhibit preeclampsia or gestational hypertension prior to labor were examined.

Journal de gynecologie, obstetrique et biologie de la reproduction, 1984
The authors reviewed the literature in order to try to work out the different mechanisms that are responsible for labour starting. A role seems to be played by the decidua of the uterus, by the placenta and by the fetal membranes as well as the very important role of prostaglandin synthesis.
