Mathematical Modeling of Perifusion Cell Culture Experiments on GnRH Signaling [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
The effects of pulsatile GnRH stimulation on anterior pituitary cells are studied using perifusion cell cultures, where constantly moving medium over the immo- bilized cells allows intermittent GnRH delivery. The LH content of the outgoing medium serves as a readout of the GnRH signaling pathway activation in the cells.

Suction tube uterine tamponade versus uterine balloon tamponade for treatment of refractory postpartum hemorrhage: A randomized clinical feasibility trial

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To compare low‐cost “Suction Tube Uterine Tamponade” (STUT) treatment for refractory postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) with uterine balloon tamponade (UBT) using a randomized feasibility study. Methods After verbal assent, we allocated participants with refractory PPH by randomly ordered envelopes to STUT or routine UBT at 10 hospitals in ...

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.
