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).
Ultrasound Plane Pose Regression: Assessing Generalized Pose Coordinates in the Fetal Brain.
IEEE Trans Med Robot Bionics
February 2024
In obstetric ultrasound (US) scanning, the learner's ability to mentally build a three-dimensional (3D) map of the fetus from a two-dimensional (2D) US image represents a significant challenge in skill acquisition. We aim to build a US plane localization system for 3D visualization, training, and guidance without integrating additional sensors. This work builds on top of our previous work, which predicts the six-dimensional (6D) pose of arbitrarily oriented US planes slicing the fetal brain with respect to a normalized reference frame using a convolutional neural network (CNN) regression network.

- This study investigates how ultrasound probe movement varies during mid-trimester anomaly scans in a UK teaching hospital.
- Researchers recorded and analyzed video data of 17 scans, measuring various metrics like probe velocity, acceleration, and motion patterns in relation to the operators’ expertise and other factors.
- Results showed that more experienced consultants had significantly slower probe speeds and smoother motion compared to fellows, but angular measurements showed no significant differences related to expertise or patient characteristics.
Article Synopsis
- Uterine innervation is crucial to female reproductive health and has significant implications for conditions like endometriosis; recent histological advances have revealed its complex structure and role in these disorders.
- This review summarizes current research on uterine innervation, focusing on its effects on endometriosis and associated pain, using a systematic approach to analyze relevant studies.
- The review identified 45 studies that highlighted a trend towards increased nerve fiber density in ectopic endometrial tissue, suggesting a link between this heightened innervation and the chronic pain seen in endometriosis patients.
