Longitudinal changes in cervical length prior to the onset of spontaneous labor at term gestation [PDF]

AJOG Global Reports
Background: Common pathways of parturition include myometrial contractility, choriodecidual activation, and cervical shortening/remodeling. Currently, cervical component assessment is usually performed by digital examination, but this method is invasive,

Priming of labor with tafoxiparin in nulliparous term pregnant women with unripe cervix—Proof‐of‐concept and dose‐finding results from a randomized controlled trial [PDF]

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica
Introduction New therapies are needed to improve the risk–benefit profile of intervention for labor induction. Tafoxiparin, a depolymerized form of heparin with no anticoagulant effects, has demonstrated potential to increase cervical ripening and ...
