Association between oxytocin discontinuation during active labor and occiput posterior rotation at birth

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Oxytocin is commonly used in occiput posterior (OP) positions based on the assumption that it promotes rotation to the occiput anterior (OA) position, although supporting evidence is lacking. We compared OP‐to‐OA rotation at birth among women in whom oxytocin was discontinued versus continued during active labor.

The Hilbert Transform in Analysis of Uterine Contraction Activity

Studies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric, 2015
Prevention and early diagnosis of forthcoming preterm labor is of vital importance in preventing child mortality. To date, our understanding of the coordination of uterine contractions is incomplete.

Dual acellular subnormothermic machine perfusion for enhanced uterus preservation in a swine model. [PDF]

Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand
In a porcine uterus transplantation model, subnormothermic machine perfusion reduced graft edema and better‐preserved post‐reperfusion contractility than static cold storage, highlighting its potential for uterus preservation, assessment, and future graft‐conditioning applications.

Duration of a vaginal birth after cesarean section depending on the degree of cervical dilation in the prior cesarean delivery: A retrospective study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Labor and birth lead to significant immunological and regenerative changes in the uterus, such that multiparous women typically experience faster and more effective labor than primiparous women. In this retrospective study, we examined the influence of labor activity and childbirth progress in the previous pregnancy on the duration ...

Propacetamol in combination with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia for post cesarean section uterine contraction pain: A randomized controlled trial

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology
Objectives: Propacetamol, an intravenous prodrug of paracetamol, can be employed alongside intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IVPCA) to decrease opioid consumption and associated side effects. While prior studies focused on propacetamol's efficacy

ERK MAP kinases regulate smooth muscle contraction in ovine uterine artery: effect of pregnancy

, 2002
The present study investigated the potential role of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in uterine artery contraction and tested the hypothesis that pregnancy upregulated ERK-mediated function in the uterine artery. Isometric tension in response

Cost-effectiveness of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery for treatment of uterine fibroids [PDF]

, 2007
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of a treatment strategy for symptomatic uterine fibroids, which starts with Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) as compared with current practice comprising uterine artery ...

Identifying a critical cervical length threshold for predicting early delivery at 24–34 weeks

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study evaluates the association between cervical length measured at first diagnosis of a short cervix and delivery within 14 days among symptomatic and asymptomatic singleton pregnancies at 240/7–336/7 weeks of gestation. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted comprising singleton pregnancies diagnosed with a short ...

Characteristics of contraction in glycerinated uterine smooth muscle

, 1963
Glycerinated guinea pig uterine fibers developed a maximal tension of 40 g/cm2 in castrated animals and 100 g/cm2 in animals pretreated with estrone or estrone-progesterone in the presence of both adenosine triphosphate (ATP), 5 mm, and Mg, 5 mm. In the

Recombinant activated factor VIIa for severe postpartum hemorrhage in Africa: Evidence, appropriate use, and research priorities—A narrative review

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) accounts for 30%–50% of maternal mortality in Africa and occurs in the context of pre‐existing anemia, limited blood product availability, delayed recognition, and constrained referral systems. Although bundle‐based care (E‐MOTIVE), early tranexamic acid (TXA), and uterotonics have substantially improved outcomes, a
