BACKGROUND Healthy, nulliparous women at low risk for preterm birth would not usually undergo transvaginal scanning at the 20-week morphology scan. The study aimed to determine whether transabdominal cervical measurement would be sufficient to exclude a short cervix in this population. AIMS To investigate the relationship between transabdominal (TA) and transvaginal (TV) ultrasound measuremen...

OBJECTIVE This study examined the risk factors for preterm birth and the efficacy of prophylactic cerclage in patients who had undergone cervical conization due to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia before pregnancy. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of all patients who gave live singleton births between May 1996 and April 2009, after having cervical conization. Delivery before 37 gesta...

INTRODUCTION Biological age is an important parameter for growth and development assessment. It can be evaluated through the observation of radiographic changes in skeletal maturation of cervical vertebrae. OBJECTIVE This study aims to: a) verify if there is correlation between growth curve and the stages of bone age of animals used in laboratories, by evaluating radiographs of the cervical v...

Background; The best time to induce labor is when the cervix "ripe" at that particular moment. It mechanism through which changes in consistency before beginning of labor, Aim and objectives; analyze cervical length compare Manipal Cervical Scoring System's accuracy Bishop score order choose most effective way Subjects methods; 100 women were included this prospective trial who being evaluated ...

Preterm delivery (PTD), defined as birth before 37 completed weeks of gestation, is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Evaluation of the cervical morphology and biometry with transvaginal ultrasonography at 16-24 weeks of gestation is a useful tool to predict the risk of preterm birth in low- and high-risk singleton pregnancies. For instance, a sonographic cervical length (...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether sonographic measurement of cervical length in pregnancies complicated by preterm prelabor amniorrhexis helps distinguish between those women who deliver within 7 days and those who do not. METHODS In 101 women with singleton pregnancies presenting with preterm prelabor amniorrhexis at 24-36 (median, 32) weeks of gestation cervical length was measured by transvag...

STUDY DESIGN Technique description and retrospective data analysis. PURPOSE To describe the technique of cervical kyphosis correction with partial facetectomies and evaluate the outcome of single-stage posterior decompression and kyphosis correction in multilevel cervical myelopathy. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Kyphosis correction in multilevel cervical myelopathy involves anterior and posterior...
