The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of transvaginal sonographic cervical measurement in predicting failed labor induction and cesarean delivery for failure to progress in nulliparous women. One hundred and sixty-one women scheduled for labor induction underwent transvaginal ultrasonography and digital cervical examinations. Logistic regression demonstrated that cervical length and g...

OBJECTIVE In women presenting with threatened preterm labor, both fetal fibronectin and sonographic measurement of cervical length have been shown to distinguish between true and false labor. The aim of this study was to determine whether the combination of both tests provides a better prediction than the individual tests alone. METHODS We examined 195 women with singleton pregnancies present...

Date of acceptance / Kabul tarihi: June 16, 2016 / 16 Haziran 2016 ABSTRACT: The importance of the transabdominal cervical length measurement to predict preterm delivery in low-risk pregnant women for premature birth Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of transabdominal cervical length measurement using ultrasound on predicting preterm birth. Material and Method:...

in the present study, eight specimens of sheep (>1 year) of both sexes were dissected to provide a comprehensive description of the weight, allocation and nerve branches of the cranial cervical ganglion. the cranial cervical ganglion was found beneath the mandibular salivary gland. it was located ventromedial to tympanic bulla and ventrally to atlantic fossa. in three out of eight animals it wa...

Objectives: Determining the necessity of cesarean section (C/S) due to failure of induction of labor (IOL) is essential to avoid fetus distress. In this study, the performance of the Bishop score and trans-vaginal ultrasound measurements were compared to predict successful IOL, and the most useful cut-off points were estimated. Methods: Nulliparous women with gestation age of > 37 weeks with a ...

The aims of this study were to determine whether sonographically measured cervical length is of value in the identification of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and to compare its performance with maternal blood C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC), and amniotic fluid (AF) WBC. This prospective observational ...

Background Preterm labor is a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality and it might be predicted by assessing the cervical change. Objective To assess the association between absence of cervical gland area (CGA) and spontaneous preterm labor (SPTL). Materials and Methods This prospective cohort study was performed on 200 singleton pregnant women with a history of SPTL, second-trimes...

The aim of this study was to determine the predictive value of cervical length as a risk factor for spontaneous pre-term birth in twin gestations. A retrospective chart review was carried out on patients with twin pregnancies referred to our multiples' clinic. Cervical length was measured by transvaginal ultrasonography. Patients with an indicated pre-term delivery or intervention were excluded...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether sonographic measurement of cervical length in twin pregnancies presenting with threatened preterm labor helps distinguish between true and false labor. METHODS In 87 women with twin pregnancies presenting with regular and painful uterine contractions at 24-36 (median, 30) weeks of gestation, cervical length was measured by transvaginal ultrasound. Women presenti...
