Extracellular Calcium and Induction of Uterine Muscle Contraction by Aqueous Ethanolic Leaf Extract of Mucuna pruriens [PDF]
Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2020 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.

Phloroglucinol inhibits oxytocin-induced contraction in rat gastric circular muscle and uterine smooth muscle [PDF]
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2023 Phloroglucinol is commonly used to alleviate dysmenorrhoea and stomach cramps. However, there is little evidence of phloroglucinol in the mechanism of primary dysmenorrhoea (PD) development. In this study, a PD rat model was established.

Predicting preterm labour by means of uterine artery doppler velocimetry during peak uterine contraction in patients with normal cervical length [PDF]
Advances in Human Biology, 2019 Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the uterine artery Doppler velocimetry (UADV) during peak uterine contraction in order to predict preterm labour in Iranian women with a normal cervical length. Materials and Methods: This cohort study was

Noninvasive electromyometrial imaging of human uterine maturation during term labor
Nature Communications, 2023 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

Linking myometrial physiology to intrauterine pressure; how tissue-level contractions create uterine contractions of labor. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2014 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

Biomolecules, 2021 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.
