Fifty-two patients who had had a single previous caesarean section were submitted to a trial of scar. Labour was monitored by internal tocography and direct fetal heart rate monitoring. Oxytocin infusion was employed when uterine work proved to be inadequate. The oxytocin-augmented and unstimulated groups were compared. Oxytocin augmentation improved uterine work and did not result in significant fetal or maternal morbidity or mortality. Internal tocography was found to be of value, but fetal heart rate monitoring was essential.

High- versus Low-dose Oxytocin Regimens for Labor Augmentation: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Am J Obstet Gynecol MFM

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Christiana Care Health System, Newark, DE; Delaware Center for Maternal Fetal Medicine, Newark, DE.
Objective: To assess whether high- versus low-dose oxytocin regimens for labor augmentation are associated with differential risk for low Apgar score, neonatal acidosis, and other adverse labor outcomes.
Data Sources: We searched electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov) from inception up to March 2024 using combinations of the following keywords: "oxytocin," "oxytocin regimen," "oxytocin protocol," "oxytocin dosage," "active management," "high dose protocol," "low dose protocol," "augmentation of labor.

Background: Obstetric lesions of the anal sphincter (OASIS) are tears intersecting the structure of the anus after vaginal delivery. Our aim is to provide data on the incidence of OASIS and investigate potentially connected risk factors.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 464 parturient patients admitted to the AOU Maggiore della Carità, Novara (Italy), in the last ten years (2013-2023), comparing 116 cases (with OASIS) versus 348 controls (with no OASIS).

Background: Labor induction is a common obstetric intervention, increasingly performed worldwide, often using prostaglandins like misoprostol and dinoprostone.
Objective: This study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of intravaginal misoprostol versus dinoprostone for inducing labor, examining their impact on various maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using four databases-PubMed, Google Scholar, EBSCO, and the Cochrane Library-from January 2000 to April 2023.
Pulsed Red Photobiomodulation Boosts the Inhibition of Oxytocin-Induced Primary Dysmenorrhea in Mice by Suppressing Oxidative Stress and Inflammation.

Increasing evidence has underscored the pivotal role of red photobiomodulation (R-PBM) in analgesic and anti-inflammatory processes; nonetheless, research concerning the effects of pulsed wave on primary dysmenorrhea (PD) remains sparse. This study found that pulsed R-PBM significantly diminished pain responses and levels of PGF/PGE, mitigated uterine swelling, augmented antioxidant capacity, and lowered MDA concentrations, which outperformed continuous wave at the same average irradiance. Furthermore, PW treatment substantially reduced ROS levels and enhanced cell viability in PGF induced HUSM cells.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the incidence and risk factors for complete uterine rupture among women attempting vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC) over a 16-year period in France.
- Out of 48,124 patients with a prior cesarean section, 65.8% attempted a VBAC, with a uterine rupture rate of 0.63%.
- Key findings indicated that prior vaginal delivery decreased the risk of uterine rupture, while labor induction increased it; additionally, specific factors during spontaneous labor, like a low Bishop score and an arrest of cervical dilation, also heightened the risk.
