BACKGROUND Induction of labor for postdate pregnancy using misoprostol is one of the most common interventions in pregnancy. However, the optimal dose of misoprostol is yet to be determined with previous reports utilizing different dosages. OBJECTIVE The main objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of 25 μg versus 50 μg of intravaginal misoprostol for induction of ...

Western Fortuna Tessera, Ishtar Terra, records polyphase deformation. Structures include: ribbons forming long, narrow, steep-sided troughs that reflect surface layer extension; N-trending folds related to Maxwell Montes deformation; short, wide, NW-trending graben that reflect late local extension; and, within the southwestern map area, gentle, E-trending warps, which postdate ribbon structure...

Jaeger et al. (Reports, 21 September 2007, p. 1709) presented images of the Athabasca Valles channel system on Mars and asserted that the observed deposits are composed of thin, fluid lavas. However, all the features they described are secondary and postdate the surface by many millions of years, as documented by structural relationships with small, young impact craters.
