The mechanism of labor in nonhuman primates: A look inside
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract While in humans, the flexed position of the fetus and its rotating course down the birth canal are well documented, in other primates the mechanism of labor is unknown. Despite the lack of comparative data, it is commonly assumed that the human obstetric mechanism is unique, and anthropologists have disputed when and why the transition to the ...

Contemporary Management of Shoulder Dystocia
, 2010 Shoulder dystocia is an uncommon but potentially catastrophic intrapartum event. Although risk factors such as maternal diabetes, obesity and macrosomia can be identified, shoulder dystocia most frequently occurs in patients who lack risk factors.

The “costly son” hypothesis: Sons exacerbate obstetrical dilemmas in humans and other mammals
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Human childbirth has often been considered uniquely difficult among mammals, yet recent evidence suggests that obstructed labor and fetopelvic disproportion are widespread across placental mammals. Here, we propose the “costly son” hypothesis: because male offspring are typically larger at birth, they impose greater obstetric risk on mothers ...

Health and Economic Impacts of an Early Labor Induction Policy for High‐BMI Mothers
Health Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We expand the literature on marginal returns to birth interventions by studying a common intervention: early induction of labor for a growing share of pregnancies, high‐Body Mass Index (BMI) women. We exploit Danish guidelines which recommend routine induction at 7 days after the expected due date instead of 10–13 days after for mothers with a

Optimal timing for induction of labor in normotensive women: A retrospective cohort study
International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 365-371, April 2025.Abstract Objective Labor induction is offered to reduce the risk of stillbirth at late term (41+0 to 41+6) but earlier induction in normotensive singleton pregnancies is supported by weak evidence. The aim of the present study was to investigate the optimal timing for induction in normotensive women.

Study of Delivery Forces used during a Shoulder Dystocia Simulation for 6th years Medical Students
Thai Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2017 Objectives: To describe the average force for a normal delivery and a shoulder dystocia using a force monitoring birthing simulator. We also study the influence of gender, weight, height and body mass index (BMI) on the delivery force.Materials and ...

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Estimated fetal weight (EFW) is essential for managing pregnancy and delivery. Currently, two primary methods are used for EFW: Clinical and sonographic estimation. Both might be influenced by maternal habitus. Obesity has become a global epidemic; however, its effect on EFW and the accuracy of the two methods has yet to be ...
