Background: Electronic fetal monitoring was used in many hospitals before labor and during delivery . The objective of this study was to investigate whether the use of fetal monitoring had effect on neonatal outcomes and cesarean section rate. Materials and Methods: A prospective study on monitoring neonatal Apgar and kind of delivery data, from deliveries occurring at Shahid Sadughi hospital i...

This paper derives kinematic admissible bending moment – axial force (M-P) interaction relations for mild steel by considering strain hardening idealisations. Two models for strain hardening – Linear and parabolic have been considered, the parabolic model being closer to the experiments. The interaction relations can predict strains, which is not possible in a rigid, perfectly plastic idealizat...

Background: To determine the relationship between prepregnancy obesity and increasing risk of cesarean section (CS). Materials and Methods: The population studied included 887 women with live births after 37 weeks gestation in Shahid Sedoughi hospital between April 1, 2008, and April 1, 2009. Women who were obese before pregnancy were comparing with nonobese women with regard to mode of deliver...
