Purpose: The aim of our study was to determine the risk factors and to describe the clinical presentation of women with uterine rupture without previous caesarean delivery. Methods: Case-control study involving all cases of uterine rupture in the unscarred uterus detected during labour or in the post-partum between January 1, 2004 and April 1, 2016. For the control we included four controls for...

Abstract Background Spontaneous ruptured aortic plaques (SRAPs) act as emboli for systemic organs because SRAPs might contain CCs which cause inflammation besides mechanical obstruction. The purpose of the study is to clarify difference characteristics representative SRAPs, puff rupture and puff-chandelier sampled by non-obstructive general angioscopy. (NOGA) Methods A total 177 ruptures blown ...

Abstract The origin of switching parameter variations in metal-oxide resistive-switching random access memory (RRAM) is studied. The stochastic formation/rupture of the conductive filaments (CFs) is modeled and incorporated with a trap-assisted-tunneling (TAT) current solver. The experimental DC I-V characteristics and pulse transient waveform featuring the current fluctuation during the reset ...

OBJECTIVE To estimate if membrane sweeping increases the rate of prelabor rupture of membranes. METHODS This randomized trial of term, uncomplicated pregnancies included 300 patients. Patients were randomly assigned into sweep or no-sweep groups, with patients and delivering providers blinded to group allocation. Only the examining provider in the clinic was unblinded to group allocation. Mem...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to identify histomorphologic characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques and to determine the amenability of some of these components to be used as markers for invasive and noninvasive imaging. BACKGROUND Rupture of the atherosclerotic plaques is responsible for the majority of acute coronary events, and the culprit lesions demonstrate distinct histopathol...

We present a new procedure for the determination of rupture complexity from a joint inversion of static and seismic data. Our fault parameterization involves multiple fault segments, variable local slip, rake angle, rise time, and rupture velocity. To separate the spatial and temporal slip history, we introduce a wavelet transform that proves effective at studying the time and frequency charact...
