The rising tide: Trends in induction of labor at term over a 5‐year period at a single centre
Abstract Objective Induction of labor (IOL) is a controversial topic in contemporary obstetric practice, with some suggesting that the increase in elective induction (eIOL) as a potential contributor to increasing cesarean delivery (CD) rates. The objectives of this single‐center study were to examine the rates of IOL, trends in indications for IOL ...

The Association between N-terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels in the Umbilical Vein and Amniotic Fluid Volume Abnormalities [PDF]
Purpose The amniotic fluid volume (AFV) is known as a predictor for the wellness of a fetus. We aimed to investigate whether N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) levels reflect AFV abnormalities in otherwise normal fetuses.

Role of l-Arginine in Oligohydramnios [PDF]
Oligohydramnios is a known obstetric complication which is associated with operative interferences and perinatal morbidity and mortality. l-arginine is a precursor of nitric oxide and may play a role in local vasodilatation. Administration of l-arginine has been suggested to improve amniotic fluid index (AFI) in oligohydramnios.To study the effect of l-

Therapeutic role of nifedipine in threatened preterm labor: Current evidence and future perspectives
Abstract Preterm birth occurs in approximately 10% of all pregnancies, and is not only the leading cause of neonatal mortality but also a major contributor to short‐ and long‐term morbidities due to immaturity. Preterm birth has also been linked to an increased risk of maternal cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, making it a critical concern ...

Abstract Objective Estimated fetal weight (EFW) is essential for managing pregnancy and delivery. Currently, two primary methods are used for EFW: Clinical and sonographic estimation. Both might be influenced by maternal habitus. Obesity has become a global epidemic; however, its effect on EFW and the accuracy of the two methods has yet to be ...

Management of preterm pre-labor rupture of membranes between 24 and 34 weeks: A before-and-after study of the implementation and modifications of an outpatient management protocol. [PDF]
In women with PPROM before 34 weeks, we compared outcomes before and after implementing an outpatient management protocol. Outpatient care was offered to one‐third of patients, did not affect latency or gestational age at delivery, and was associated with fewer early neonatal infections, supporting its safety in selected cases.
