Objective: We studied whether Doppler flow measurements before initiation of induction of labor (IOL) can predict non-reassuring fetal heart rate (NRFHR) monitoring in women at 38-41 weeks of gestation.

Materials And Methods: We performed a prospective observational study in a single tertiary medical center between November 2017 and December 2019. Women undergoing induction of labor were included.

Pharmacokinetics, Dynamics, and Metabolism, Pfizer Inc, Groton, Connecticut.

Quantifying proteins involved in the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of drugs is essential to improve understanding of their disposition and pharmacokinetics. Proteomics, because of its great versatility, is a widely used approach for protein analysis. However, existing protocols face challenges, such as poor peptide identification in liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry under multiple reaction monitoring mode as well as the time- and labor-intensive nature of detergent-engaged workflows.

The capacity to forecast nonreassuring fetal heart (NFH) is essential for minimizing perinatal complications; therefore, this research aims to establish if a machine learning (ML) model can predict NFH. This was a retrospective analysis of information gathered from singleton cases over the gestational age of 28 weeks that sought vaginal delivery between January 2020 and January 2022. The information was acquired from the "Iranian Maternal and Neonatal Network.
