Extracellular Calcium and Induction of Uterine Muscle Contraction by Aqueous Ethanolic Leaf Extract of Mucuna pruriens [PDF]
Calcium (Ca2+) serves as an essential signaling molecule in biological systems, regulating a wide range of cellular processes of which uterine smooth muscle contraction is among.

Comparison of electrohysterogram characteristics during uterine contraction and non-contraction during labor [PDF]
Uterine contraction is one of the most important indication in the labor progression. Electrohysterogram (EHG) is a promising method for monitoring uterine contraction and discriminating efficient and inefficient contractions.

Noninvasive electromyometrial imaging of human uterine maturation during term labor
Preventing preterm birth and labor arrest requires safe and accurate uterine contraction monitoring. Here, the authors show that Electromyometrial Imaging (EMMI) can image 3D uterine contraction patterns dynamically in human labor, providing new insights

We evaluated the impact of cervical cerclage combined with one or more uterine contraction inhibitors in persistent inhibition of uterine contraction for the treatment of late abortion and premature delivery. This retrospective case series study analysed

Linking myometrial physiology to intrauterine pressure; how tissue-level contractions create uterine contractions of labor. [PDF]
The mechanisms used to coordinate uterine contractions are not known. We develop a new model based on the proposal that there is a maximum distance to which action potentials can propagate in the uterine wall. This establishes "regions", where one action

Dysmenorrhea is one of the most prevalent disorders in gynecology. Historically, adlay (Coix lachryma-jobi L. var. Ma-yuen Stapf.) has been explored for its anti-tumor, pain relief, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects.

Uterine activity modifies the response of the fetal autonomic nervous system at preterm active labor
BackgroundThe autonomic nervous system of preterm fetuses has a different level of maturity than term fetuses. Thus, their autonomic response to transient hypoxemia caused by uterine contractions in labor may differ.

Towards understanding the myometrial physiome: approaches for the construction of a virtual physiological uterus [PDF]
Premature labour (PTL) is the single most significant factor contributing to neonatal morbidity in Europe with enormous attendant healthcare and social costs. Consequently, it remains a major challenge to alleviate the cause and impact of this condition.
