Fetal Head Station at Second-Stage Dystocia and Subsequent Trial of Labor After Cesarean Delivery Success Rate.

Objective: To investigate whether fetal head station at the index cesarean delivery is associated with a subsequent trial of labor success rate among primiparous women.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study conducted at two tertiary medical centers included all primiparous women with subsequent delivery after cesarean delivery for second-stage dystocia during 2009-2019, identified from the electronic medical record databases. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess the factors associated with successful trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) (primary outcome).

Successful vaginal birth after cesarean in the second delivery is not associated with the stage of labor of the primary unplanned cesarean delivery.

Background: Candidates for trial of labor after cesarean must be carefully screened to maximize success and minimize morbidity. Demographic and obstetric characteristics affecting success rates must be delineated.

Objective: We examined whether the labor stage of the primary delivery in which a woman underwent an unplanned cesarean delivery would affect the likelihood that she could achieve a subsequent vaginal birth.

Unplanned Cesarean Delivery in the Second Stage of Labor Holds Higher Odds of Complications than in the First Stage, while Similar in Primiparas and Multiparas.

Background: While endeavors to reduce cesarean delivery (CD) rates are given priority worldwide, it is important to evaluate if these efforts place parturients and neonates at risk. CD performed in the second stage of labor carries higher risks of maternal and fetal complications and is a more challenging surgical procedure than that performed in the first stage or before labor. In a population with a low CD rate, we sought to evaluate the rate of maternal and fetal complications associated with unplanned CD (UCD) performed in the second vs.

Subsequent Pregnancy Outcomes After Failed Vacuum-Assisted Delivery.

Objective: To examine trial of labor after cesarean delivery (TOLAC) success rates and its associated factors among women with a previous failed vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study. The study group comprised all women with a prior failed vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery who subsequently delivered from 2008 to 2017 at a university hospital.

[PROLONGED SECOND STAGE OF LABOR: CAUSES AND OUTCOMES].

Introduction: Professional bodies have published guidelines defining the length of the second stage of labor and when it is "prolonged", according to parity and epidural anesthesia administration. Recently these guidelines have been extended, aiming to reduce rates of unplanned cesarean deliveries.

Aims: To examine the risk factors and outcomes of a prolonged second stage of labor, in order to understand its causes and implications for mothers and neonates, including the delivery mode.

Zika Virus Infects Early- and Midgestation Human Maternal Decidual Tissues, Inducing Distinct Innate Tissue Responses in the Maternal-Fetal Interface.

Unlabelled: Zika virus (ZIKV) has emerged as a cause of congenital brain anomalies and a range of placenta-related abnormalities, highlighting the need to unveil the modes of maternal-fetal transmission. The most likely route of vertical ZIKV transmission is via the placenta. The earliest events of ZIKV transmission in the maternal decidua, representing the maternal uterine aspect of the chimeric placenta, have remained unexplored.
