Abstract:

Objective To estimate the natural history of cervical effacement in labor. Study Design This is a retrospective cohort study of term, vertex, singletons who reached 10 cm of cervical dilation from 2010 to 2014. Interval-censored regression was used to estimate the median number of hours between changes in effacement (measured in centimeters of the residual cervix) and to estimate the median effacement at a given cervical dilation. Analysis was stratified by parity and labor type. Results In total, 7,319 patients were included. Multiparas had faster effacement from 1 cm to complete effacement t

Abstract:

Background: Dr. Edward Bishop developed the original bishop score. He concluded that elective induction in multiparous women was successful with a score > 8. Calder introduced the modified bishop score in which he replaced cervical effacement with cervical length in cms. Score of 6-12 is favourable. In this study, studied the cervical effacement/ length as an independent predictor of vaginal delivery in a primigravida.Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted from May 2018 to January 2019.

Abstract:

IntroductionEffective labour induction is marked by the onset of uterine contractions, progressive cervical dilation, and effacement, culminating in a vaginal birth without maternal or fetal complications. The success of induction largely depends on cervical ripening. Isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN), a nitric oxide donor, has shown potential for cervical ripening, facilitating labour induction by promoting cervical softening, effacement and dilation. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of ISMN for cervical ripening before labour induction at term or post-term.MethodsIn this double-blind

Abstract:

The uterine cervix is a remarkable structure, which plays an essential role in pregnancy. During the development of the conceptus within the uterus, the cervix usually remains firmly closed to ensure that the developing fetus attains an appropriate degree of maturity to permit extra-uterine survival. On the other hand, it prepares for labour and birth, by undergoing a process of effacement, whereby the substance of the cervix shortens and thins out. During labour, it must be stretched and dilated to a sufficient diameter, usually about 10cm at term, to allow the successful passage of the fetus

Abstract Context.—Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a benign disorder, predominantly affecting young women with a predilection for cervical lymphadenopathy. Although the disease has been recognized worldwide, to our knowledge no cases have been reported previously from Nepal. Objectives.—To determine the prevalence of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease in Nepal and to analyze clinicopathologic features. Methods.—We reviewed 6 cases of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease recorded at 3 different hospitals in Nepal during a period from June 1998 to June 2002. Clinical data and histopathology are presented. Results.—This st

Abstract:

Labour is a natural physiological process, but it can involve intense pain and deviations due to anatomical, physiological, or unidentified factors. These variations can lead to abnormal labour presentations. When labour is induced with oxytocin or prostaglandins, cervical dystocia may occur, intensifying uterine inertia. In Ayurveda, detailed guidelines for Prasava Paricharya (childbirth care) exist, emphasizing smoother, less painful labour (Sukhprasava). Acharyas recommend a specific regimen during the ninth month of pregnancy (Navama Masa Garbhini Paricharya) to facilitate an easy delivery

Abstract:

Induction of labour is an intervention designed to artificially initiate uterine contractions leading to progressive dilatation and effacement of the cervix and birth of the baby. There are various methods of induction of labour. Locally applied PGs have been thought to be most physiological in initiating the process of labour by promoting both cervical ripening and myometrial contraction the present study was carried out to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerance of intravaginal misoprostol (PGE1) tablets with intravaginal dinoprostone (PGE2) gel for cervical ripening and labour induction

Objective We sought to assess the safety of transcervical Foley catheter (TCF) placement for cervical ripening in women undergoing induction of labor (IOL) after prior cesarean by evaluating the risk of uterine rupture. Study Design We performed a secondary analysis of the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Unit's Cesarean Section Registry, a prospective observational cohort study. We included women with a history of ≤2 low-transverse cesarean deliveries who underwent IOL at ≥24 weeks of gestational age with a live singleton fetus without major anomalies.

Abstract:

Transient or acoustic radiation force elastography (ARFE) is becoming the most extended technology to assess cervical effacement, additionally to the Bishop test and conventional ultrasound. However, a debate on the fetal safety has been opened due to the high intensity focused beam emitted to produce shear waves. This work is aimed at providing preliminary data to assess clinical effects of fetal exposure. A follow-up study in newborns of 42 women exposed to ARFE during pregnancy was carried out to explore neonatal hypoacusia, Apgar test, and anthropometry. No hypoacusia cases attributable to

Methods In 20 adult cadavers (40 sides), dissection of the cervical ICA was performed, with special attention given to the relationship between this artery and the stylopharyngeus muscle. In addition, rotation of the head was performed while observing for any compression of the

Background Preterm delivery (PTD) that occurs before the 37th week of gestation complicates 10% of all pregnancies. Iron deficiency, iron-deficiency anemia, and inflammatory processes either related to infection or sterile inflammatory response represent risk factors for PTD (Genc and Ford, 2010). Bovine lactoferrin (BLF), an emerging important regulator of iron and inflammatory homeostasis, can represent a new therapeutic approach for PTD, with significant improvement of maternal serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) after oral administration.
