OBJECTIVE: To determine whether analysis of the frequency or regularity of uterine contractions can distinguish between women delivering vaginally and women requiring Cesarean section for dystocia.

Researchers have developed a new imaging tool, called electromyometrial imaging (EMMI), to create real-time, three-dimensional images and maps of contractions during labor. The non-invasive imaging ...

Childbirth depends not just on hormones, but on the uterus’s ability to sense physical force. Scientists found that pressure ...

Molecular discoveries may help improve treatments for labor and pain. When labor starts, the uterus must produce steady, ...

WASHINGTON, June 2, 2020 -- Advanced tissue engineering technologies allow scientists to mimic the structure of a uterus, enabling crucial research on fertility and disease. In an APL Bioengineering ...

Researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have developed a new imaging tool, called electromyometrial imaging (EMMI), to create real-time, three-dimensional images and maps of ...

New research could help explain one of the “miracles” of childbirth – how the uterus contracts to push babies into the world. Computer models, developed by researchers in India and France, reveal that ...

It’s normal for women to have some uterine contractions throughout pregnancy. Often, a woman is unaware of these contractions, but at other times the contractions can be painful and regular and seem ...

Studies examining the fetal heart rate (FHR) prior to uterine rupture consistently report that non-reassuring fetal heart rate patterns are the predominant sign suggesting impending or actual uterine ...
