AbstractIncreased uterine contractility at term and preterm results from activation and then stimulation of the myometrium. Activation can be provoked by mechanical stretch of the uterus and by an endocrine pathway resulting from increased activity of the fetal hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis.

Risk for Preterm and Very Preterm Delivery in Women Who Were Born Preterm
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2015To evaluate whether women who themselves were born preterm are at increased risk of preterm delivery and, if so, whether known maternal complications of preterm birth such as hypertension or diabetes explain this risk.We conducted a population-based cohort study of all women born preterm (51,148) and term (823,991) in Québec, Canada, between 1976 and ...

The prevention of preterm birth may be the most important problem facing maternity care providers. Preterm birth occurs in 10% of all births in the United States and is associated with 83% of perinatal deaths not caused by congenital anomalies. This article reviews the anatomy and physiology of the uterus, the physiology of uterine contractions, the ...

Cerebral NIRS patterns in late preterm and very preterm infants becoming late preterm
The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2017Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) has been proposed as a useful, noninvasive monitoring technique providing reliable information about central nervous system (CNS) oximetry and function. Recently, brain damage has been reconsidered as a dynamic process evolving over the weeks of gestation.

Preterm premature rupture of the membranes remains difficult to predict accurately. The majority of those suffering preterm premature rupture of the membrane lack risk factors that might lead to preventative treatments. Its management is centered on an evaluation of the risks and benefits of attempted pregnancy prolongation compared with expeditious ...
