Ureaplasma urealyticum and Premature Birth
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1993Evidence related to the association of Ureaplasma urealyticum with premature birth is reviewed. U. urealyticum is a common inhabitant in the vagina of pregnant women. It is recovered from the vaginas of approximately 70% of pregnant women. The presence of U. urealyticum in the vagina is not associated with premature birth.

Aircraft noise and premature birth
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1978Abstract Certain physiological effects suggest that there may be a relationship between premature birth and noise exposure. Vasoconstriction in the peripheric blood vessel system is one effect. Others would be augmentation of the adrenocorticotrophic hormone and a higher vegetative excitability during pregnancy.

Guarding Against Premature Birth
Science, 1996Boston—Babies born prematurely are 120 times more likely to die than those carried to full term, so the recent discovery that bacterial infections of the mother's reproductive tract are one cause of premature birth was welcome news.

Approximately 80 per cent of the 238 premature births were spontaneous in onset, the remaining 20 per cent being induced by either medical or surgical means. 3. 3.

Late Preterm Birth: Preventable Prematurity?
Clinics in Perinatology, 2011Prematurity is one of the leading causes of infant morbidity and mortality globally. Over the years, however, advances in medicine and technology have enhanced the ability to care for babies at very early gestations. There has also been a shift in the distribution of births away from term/post-term gestations and toward earlier gestational ages.
