Physiological cardiotocography interpretation and neonatal morbidity: A historical pre–post cohort study in a tertiary perinatal center

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 8, Page 1578-1586, August 2026.
In this historical pre–post cohort study, the implementation of physiological cardiotocography (PCI) interpretation was associated with reduced neonatal morbidity, neonatal acidosis, and neonatal unit admission. Adjusted cesarean section rates did not increase, supporting PCI as a promising approach to intrapartum fetal surveillance.

Can universal cervical length screening with vaginal progesterone for a short cervix reduce preterm birth? A systematic review and meta‐analyses

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 8, Page 1420-1434, August 2026.
Preterm birth is associated with substantial neonatal morbidity and mortality. We evaluated whether universal cervical length screening with ultrasound, followed by progesterone therapy for women with a short cervix, has the potential to reduce the incidence of preterm birth.

Oral Misoprostol Versus Vaginal Dinoprostone for Labor Induction: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research, Volume 52, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Pharmacologic cervical ripening is frequently used for labor induction, yet the comparative effectiveness, safety, and resource utilization of available agents remain uncertain. This review compared oral misoprostol with vaginal dinoprostone for labor induction in singleton pregnancies at ≥ 34 weeks' gestation.

A Comparative Study Between Intravenous Magnesium Sulphate and Intravenous Isoxsuprine for Arrest of Preterm Labour

National Journal of Medical Research
Introduction: Wide use of medical management of preterm labour has been obstructed due to low success rate of arrest of labour. This is aggravated by higher incidence of serious side effect of the available tocolytic agents, especially beta-mimetic ...
