Women who have delivered an infant between 16 and 36 weeks' gestation have an increased risk of preterm birth (PTB) in a subsequent pregnancy. The high incidence of recurrent PTB remains relatively unchanged despite intensive research efforts and advances in perinatal care. Attempts to decrease the
Urinary tract infections in pregnant women develop owing to the short urethra in women, mechanical pressure of the uterus onto atonic urethra during pregnancy, atony of the urinary bladder caused by the level of progesterone, iatrogenic factors (catheterization), some metabolic disorders, anemia,
OBJECTIVE
The highest incidence of urinary tract infection in females occurs in elderly women. This study was done to determine whether this is due to the declining immune response that occurs during advancing age, or the menopausal state in the aged.
METHODS
Adult female monkeys (average age 19
Recent research has suggested that women who experience preterm delivery (PTD) may be identified earlier in pregnancy and before onset of symptoms. Interventions commenced at this earlier asymptomatic stage may offer an opportunity to prevent PTD or lengthen gestation sufficiently to reduce adverse
OBJECTIVE
To examine the effects of oral estrogen/progestin on incontinence and related lower urinary tract conditions among female nursing home (NH) residents.
METHODS
Randomized placebo-controlled trial.
METHODS
Five NHs.
METHODS
Thirty-two incontinent female residents of average age
Obstetric and neonatal interventions have improved the survival of preterm infants, but there has not been an equivalent reduction in long-term neurological disability. Thus, some effort must be invested in finding ways of preventing preterm birth. Numerous programmes have been promoted to address
Cervical cancer is increasingly diagnosed in women who have not yet completed their reproductive plans. For patients with early stages (FIGO stage IA2 and IB1), fertility-sparing procedures, such as conization, trachelectomy or radical trachelectomy, represent the treatment of choice. However,
OBJECTIVE
To identify combinations of tests and treatments to predict and prevent spontaneous preterm birth.
METHODS
Searches were run on the following databases up to September 2005 inclusive: MEDLINE, EMBASE, DARE, the Cochrane Library (CENTRAL and Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group trials
BACKGROUND
Preterm birth (PTB) is a major factor contributing to global rates of neonatal death and to longer-term health problems for surviving infants. Both the World Health Organization and the United Nations consider prevention of PTB as central to improving health care for pregnant women and
Many elements of routine prenatal care are based on tradition and lack a firm evidence base; however, some elements are supported by more rigorous studies. Correct dating of the pregnancy is critical to prevent unnecessary inductions and to allow for accurate treatment of preterm labor. Physicians
