Computer Simulation of Uterine Contraction Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study is to simulate the contraction phenomena in pregnant uterine. Differential equations are used to model the uterine contractions for three states, namely contracting, refractory, and resting. Since verification and validation are vital for simulation systems, we compared our model with uterine magnetomyogram (MMG) data which are recorded non-invasively using SQUID-Array for Reproductive Assessment (SARA) system at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). It is possible to identify the contraction locations from the data via Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT). Two simulations were done; first one was based on the mathematical model and the second one was based on the contraction data. Comparison between those simulations revealed similar characteristics.

Comparing the effects of IV infusion of 10% dextrose and 40 IU/L of oxytocin on uterine contraction after Cesarean section
Background: Uterine bleeding is an important side effect of cesarean section which is due to non contractile uterine. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of 10% dextrose (IV infusion) and 40 IU/L oxytocin (IV infusion) on uterine contraction. Materials and Methods: This research was a double-blinded randomized clinical trial (RCT) study. 120 women were equally included in the tw...
متن کاملInvestigation of Melting by Molecular Dynamics Simulation
The melting of a 64 ion microcrystal of KCI was studied by means of a molecular dynamics computer simulation. We used a central pair interaction with an inverse power law repulsion. The thermodynamics, kinetic and structural properties such as melting temperature, latent heat, mean square displacement, diffusion constant, radial distribution function and bond angle distribution are calculated. ...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation Research on Dynamics of Missiles with Deflectable Nose Control
The dynamic characteristics of deflectable nose missiles with rotary single-channel control were investigated in this paper. Firstly, the effective angle of attack, effective angle of sideslip and quasi-body coordinates were introduced based on the spin characteristics of the missile’s body. Secondly, considering the interaction between the missile’s nose and body, the rigid kinetic model of mi...
متن کاملShape and Type of Uterine Contractions at Premature Detachment: Uterine Behavior Abruption Placenta
Although premature separation of normally implanted placenta is considered the most serious complication of pregnancy, knowledge of uterine behaviour during this condition is meager, on the basis of electronic recording of intra-uterine pressure two type of contraction pattern has been identified. In type I uterine tonus has values below 30mmHg with a frequency of 4-9 contractions per 10 m...
متن کاملUterine Contractions in Normal Labor Developed by a Positive Feed-back and Oscillation
Regular uterine contractions in normal labor are expulsive power to deliver the fetus. The intrauterine pressure changes were recorded and studied in the measurement of labor contractions of uterus, while external tocodynamometry is common in clinical fetal monitoring [1]. The duration of contraction was about 1 min and interval was also 1 min, and the peak intrauterine pressure was 30 to 50 mm...
