Characteristics of cervicovaginal microflora at different cervical maturity during late pregnancy: A nested case-control study Open
Objective The mechanism of cervical ripening in late pregnancy is still unclear. The vaginal microbiome has been reported to correlate with the preterm birth and short cervix in pregnant women. However, the associations between the cervica…

Uterine slow wave: directionality and changes with imminent delivery Open
Objective. The slow wave (SW) of the electrohysterogram (EHG) may contain relevant information on the electrophysiological condition of the uterus throughout pregnancy and labor. Our aim was to assess differences in the SW as regards the i…

Uterine Electrical Signals and Cervical Dilation During the First Stage of Labor Open
The purpose of this study was to explore the changes in uterine electrical signals recorded by electromyography in relationship with the progression of cervical dilation during the first stage of labor. Methods: Uterine electromyography wa…

Evaluation of cervical maturity by cervical collagen measurement using light-induced fluorescence (LIF) during pregnancy Open
Objective The study aimed to evaluate cervical ripening by measuring cervical collagen levels in non-pregnant women, women with a normal pregnancy, and postpartum women by light-induced fluorescence (LIF). Methods Cervical collagen content…

Nicotine protects fetus against LPS-induced fetal growth restriction through ameliorating placental inflammation and vascular development in late pregnancy in rats* Open
Our previous work has shown that nicotine suppressed lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced placental inflammation by inhibiting cytokine release as well as infiltration of leukocytes into the placenta through the cholinergic anti-inflammatory p…

Uterine electromyography during active phase compared with latent phase of labor at term Open
Introduction In a prospective study in a tertiary university hospital we wanted to determine whether uterine electromyography ( EMG ) can differentiate between the active and latent phase of labor. Material and methods Thirty women present…
