Progesterone, inflammation and preterm labor
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2014The initiation of human parturition is not fully understood to date. The data from animal experiments demonstrate that the primary impulse for the initiation of physiological labor arises from the fetal hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA). HPA is responsible for the stimulation of steroid synthesis and prostaglandin production and, in turn, the ...

The Diagnosis of Preterm Labor and the Prediction of Preterm Delivery
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1995Clinical approaches to the diagnosis of PTL and the prediction of PTD are complicated by the absence of a gold standard for the pathogenic process leading to PTD. There is also substantial overlap between the signs and symptoms of PTL and impending PTD, and the normal processes of pregnancies destined to remain uncomplicated (e.g., our inability to ...

A Perspective on the Diagnosis of Preterm Labor
The Journal of Perinatal & Neonatal Nursing, 2002Over the past few decades there has not been any significant reduction in the rate of preterm birth. As we enter into a new millennium, prematurity is still the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality in the non-anomalous infant. The only major contributions in reducing perinatal mortality in the preterm infant are those in the field of ...

Preterm birth occurs in 9.6% of pregnancies worldwide with gestational age being most strongly correlated with fetal outcomes. Goals in the treatment of preterm labor include transfer to an appropriate hospital and administration of the following medications if indicated: antibiotics, steroids for fetal lung maturity, tocolysis, and magnesium sulfate ...

Mechanism of Parturition and Preterm Labor
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2000Preterm birth occurs in 5 to 10 percent of all pregnancies and accounts for 75 percent of neonatal mortality and morbidity, including long-term handicap. Thirty percent of preterm birth may be associated with an underlying infective process, and approximately 50 percent are idiopathic.
