Parturition Synchrony Index: A Method for Assessing Individual Parturition Synchrony Within a Group or Population [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe phenomenon of parturition synchrony at the population level has been studied for decades using various methods. To assess the tendency of individual mothers to synchronize their parturition timing with others, we developed a novel parturition ...

Dynamic changes in postpartum autonomic nervous system in normal mice: a pilot study [PDF]
PeerJFemale mammalian physiology changes dynamically during parturition. Autonomic nervous activity plays a key role in normal parturition and is influenced by the health and mental state of mothers; however, few longitudinal studies have tracked individual ...

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013 The myometrium must remain relatively quiescent during pregnancy to accommodate growth and development of the feto-placental unit, and then must transform into a highly coordinated, strongly contracting organ at the time of labour for successful ...

Parturition effects on reproductive health in the gilt and sow. [PDF]
Reproduction in domestic animals = Zuchthygiene, 2016 In this review, we address significant characteristics of parturition in the pig and their connection to post-partum reproductive health and fertility. We discuss the normal physiology and behaviour around parturition and the effect of the second phase ...

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 ...

A fine‐scale examination of parturition timing in temperate ungulates [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionParturition timing has long been a topic of interest in ungulate research. However, few studies have examined parturition timing at fine scale (e.g.,

Endocrinology of human parturition. [PDF]
Annales d'Endocrinologie, 2016 The mechanisms involved in human pregnancy maintenance and parturition are highly complex and involve mother, fetus and placenta. The "final common pathway" to delivery is composed by inflammatory and endocrine interactive paths that tip the balance in ...

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 ...

Do Pregnancy-Induced Brain Changes Reverse? The Brain of a Mother Six Years after Parturition
Brain Science, 2021 Neuroimaging researchers commonly assume that the brain of a mother is comparable to that of a nulliparous woman. However, pregnancy leads to pronounced gray matter volume reductions in the mother’s brain, which have been associated with maternal ...
