The second stage of labor is defined as the time from complete dilation of the cervix to delivery of the fetus. The objective of this seminar is to provide a contemporary, evidence-based approach to management of the second stage of labor. This seminar reviews background maternal and fetal characteristics that impact the duration of the second stage of labor, the recommended evidence-based management (e.g. immediate pushing, manual rotation, operative vaginal delivery), and the maternal/neonatal morbidity clinicians must consider when deciding between operative delivery and a prolonged second stage of labor.

With the ongoing development of osteoimmunology, increasing evidence indicates that the local immune microenvironment plays a critical role in various stages of bone formation. Consequently, modulating the immune inflammatory response triggered by biomaterials to foster a more favorable immune microenvironment for bone regeneration has emerged as a novel strategy in bone tissue engineering. This review first examines the roles of various immune cells in bone tissue injury and repair.
