Implementing a novel movement-based approach to inferring parturition and neonate caribou calf survival. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 In ungulates, parturition is correlated with a reduction in movement rate. With advances in movement-based technologies comes an opportunity to develop new techniques to assess reproduction in wild ungulates that are less invasive and reduce biases ...

Detection of mare parturition through balanced multi-scale feature fusion based on improved Libra RCNN. [PDF]
PLoS ONEOnce a mare experiences parturition abnormalities, the outcome between a live foal and a stillborn can change rapidly. Automated detection of mare parturition and timely human intervention is crucial to reducing risks during mare and foal parturition ...

A single-cell atlas of the myometrium in human parturition
JCI Insight, 2022 Parturition is a well-orchestrated process characterized by increased uterine contractility, cervical ripening, and activation of the chorioamniotic membranes; yet, the transition from a quiescent to a contractile myometrium heralds the onset of labor ...

Parturition in Mammals: Animal Models, Pain and Distress
Animals, 2021 Simple Summary Labour is considered a painful episode where complex physiological, hormonal, morphological, and behavioural changes are present. During animal parturition, the recognition and treatment of pain is not a regular practice, although there ...

Microbial-driven preterm labour involves crosstalk between the innate and adaptive immune response
Nature Communications, 2022 Gaining mechanistic insight into the microbiological and immunological factors that are associated with spontaneous preterm birth is important for the development of prevention strategies.

Whole Blood Holding Time Prior to Plasma Processing Alters microRNA Expression Profile
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can exhibit aberrant expression under different physiological and pathological conditions. Therefore, differentially expressed circulating miRNAs have been a focus of biomarker discovery research. However, the use of circulating miRNAs

The Role of Neutrophils in Pregnancy, Term and Preterm Labour
Life, 2022 Neutrophils are surveillance cells, and the first to react and migrate to sites of inflammation and infection following a chemotactic gradient. Neutrophils play a key role in both sterile inflammation and infection, performing a wide variety of effector ...
