background with the advent of hystroscopic surgery, abnormalities confined to the uterine cavity such as endometrial polyps, submucous myomas, uterine septae and synechia , were supposed to be treated effectively. diagnostic hysteroscopy is the gold standard for investigating the intrauterine diseases as it allows for biopsy and removal of lesions. objectives forty premenopausal women without t...

role of labor induction has increased in the last decade due to the ‎early detection of fetal jeopardy. although very useful, oxytocin alone is not always successful for induction of ‎labor. in a randomized clinical ‎trial we compared vaginal dinoprostone plus oxytocin with oxytocin alone for ‎induction of labor in 91 ‎pregnant women at 40 weeks or greater gestation with bishop scores ≤ 4. fort...

a randomized clinical trial study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of intravenous oxytoxin (50 cases) and intracervical prostaglandin e2 (0.5 mg tab, 50 cases) on the ripening of the cervix and frequency of successful inductions in patients with low bishop score (<5). means of maternal age, gestational age, parity, bs at admission did not show any significant differences between the two gr...

conclusions the results showed that acupressure is a safe technique and leads to cervical ripening. thus, regarding the desired results that were achieved when mothers applied acupressure themselves, it could be suggested that it is beneficial for mothers to be trained to apply this method at home. results there was a significant difference between mothers’ educations in the three groups. most ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 background : recently elective inductions of labor at term have increased dramatically which may be in part due to the patient and clinicians desire to arrange a convenient time for delivery. termination of pregnancy before emerging labor pain is an important concern. because induction of labor is one of the most commonly ...

Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Despite the current treatment procedures, the incidence of PTB has not changed in the past thirty years. Incomplete understanding of the biological and patophysiological mechanisms underlying preterm delivery is the major obstacle to prevent PTB. Cervical ripening is necessary for vaginal delivery and understanding of...

background and aim: cervical ripening before the onset of labor is an important factor for the prediction of delivery mode, and is directly associated with vaginal delivery. the search for a safe, inexpensive, and easy method of cervical ripening is of great significance. few studies have focused on the effect of date fruit on uterine contractions and cervical ripening. therefore, the purpose o...

The cervix represents a formidable structural barrier for successful induction of labor. Approximately 10% of pregnancies undergo induction of cervical ripening and labor with prostaglandin (PG) E2 or PGE analogs, often requiring many hours of hospitalization and monitoring. On the other hand, preterm cervical ripening in the second trimester predicts preterm birth. The regulatory mechanisms of...
