The Methodological Pitfalls Complicating the Analysis of Early Term Births
ABSTRACT Background Evaluating the success of policies aiming to reduce early term birth (37+0–38+6 weeks' gestation) is analytically challenging. Objectives Determine the best method of reporting temporal changes of early term birth rates. Methods We analysed 54,646 singleton births at Western Australia's main tertiary hospital (2009–2019).

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.
