the objective was to quantify and compare cow cervical morphology on oestrus vs. non-oestrus daysusing a new farm technology. the cervical tissues were videotaped using a cervixscope involving newcamera equipment in four holstein cows on multiple oestrus and non-oestrus days to score tissue morphology as altered by oestrus. the non-oestrous days were in diestrus phases. the videotaped records w...

OBJECTIVE To study the effectiveness and morbidity of adding hygroscopic cervical dilators to prostaglandin gel for cervical ripening and labor induction. STUDY DESIGN Patients of at least 34 weeks' gestation with a medical indication for induction of labor and with a modified Bishop score of 5 or less were randomized to receive either prostaglandin gel or prostaglandin gel with hygroscopic c...

BACKGROUND The Cervical Ripening Balloon (CRB) is a novel mechanical method for induction of labour (IOL), reducing the risks of hyperstimulation associated with pharmacological methods. However, there remains a paucity of literature on its application in high risk mothers, who have an elevated risk of uterine rupture, namely those with previous scars and grandmultiparity. METHODOLOGY A retro...

Background: The objectives of the study were to Evaluation of isosorbide mononitrate for cervical ripening prior to induction of labor at term pregnancy in an outpatient. Methods: A randomized, placebo controlled prospective study was conducted with 120 women with term pregnancies and unfavorable cervices who self-administered vaginally either 2, 40-mg tablets of IMN or pyridoxine as placebo pr...

Objective: To compare cervical ripening in women having evening primrose oil with those not taking it. Study Design: Retrospective Cohort study. Setting: Department of Obs & Gynae, Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, Karachi. Period: July 2018 to April 2021. Material Method: Patients were divided into 2 groups, one (EPO) 1gm twice daily from 37 weeks till labor, given by her previous birth attendant. ...

induction of labor is one of the most common procedures during pregnancy. various methods for cervical ripening and labor induction have been described in the obstetrics literature; but the role of corticosteroids in the process of labor is not entirely understood. this study challenged the possible role of corticosteroids in induction of labor by extra-amniotic injection through an inflated in...

BACKGROUND [corrected] By providing essential information regarding bone mineral density (BMD), Densitometry can predict the mechanical resistance of bone tissue and the risk of fractures. However, fractures frequently occur in the femoral cervix and the spine before the loss of BMD reaches the densitometric threshold of osteoporosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied 46 patients with total hip...

We derive a complete set of invariants for a formal Bishop surface near a point of complex tangent with a vanishing Bishop invariant under the action of formal transformations. We prove that the modular space of Bishop surfaces with a vanishing Bishop invariant and with a fixed Moser invariant s < ∞ is of infinite dimension. We also prove that the equivalence class of the germ of a generic real...
