The precise and fleeting moment of rich recollection triggered by an environmental cue is difficult to reproduce in the lab. However, epilepsy patients can experience sudden reminiscences after intracranial electrical brain stimulation (EBS). In these cases, the transient brain state related to the activation of the engram and its conscious perception can be recorded using intracerebral EEG (iEEG).

- The study investigates the mechanical strength of fetal membranes in women at risk for preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) through a series of tensile tests on tissue samples collected from pregnant women undergoing cesarean sections.
- Results indicate that first-time mothers (primiparous) have weaker fetal membranes compared to those with previous births, while factors like gestational diabetes and geographic origin affect membrane properties such as thickness and mechanical strength.
- Overall, thicker membranes show decreased rigidity and resistance, highlighting the complex interplay between various risk factors and membrane integrity in pregnancy.

Objective: To assess the maternal and fetal benefits of delaying oxytocin perfusion by 24 h following labor induction by amniotomy after 41 weeks of gestation (WG).
Methods: We performed a retrospective review including all women with a vertex presentation fetus who had an indication for labor induction by amniotomy with or without oxytocin after 41 WG between 2015 and 2022. Patients who underwent an IOL by amniotomy followed by oxytocin perfusion within 0 to 4 hours (early oxytocin group: EO group) were compared with patients who underwent an IOL by amniotomy alone or followed by an oxytocin perfusion after an expectant period for up to 24 hours in the absence of a spontaneous onset of labor (delayed oxytocin group: DO group).
