Intra-Uterine Crying of Child during Labor

Uterine-vesicular rupture during trial of labor.

Intra-uterine temperature measurements during fetal tachycardia.

Intra-uterine and oral temperatures were recorded in 23 patients with fetal tachycardia during labour, as well as in 22 patients without fetal tachycardia. In the tachycardia group, the mean intra-uterine temperature was 38,83 degrees C, against 37,44 degrees C in the control group. The oral temperatures were 38,05 degrees C and 33,98 degrees C respectively. Furthermore, a high incidence of neo...

Intra-Household Gender Bias and Child Labor Persistence in Brazil

In this paper we examine gender differences in the inter-generational persistence of child labor within the context of intra-household resource allocation. We begin by building an intra-household allocation model where fathers and mothers may affect the education investment and the child labor participation of their sons and daughters differently due to differences in the children's human capit...

A comparison between electrical uterine monitor, tocodynamometer and intra uterine pressure catheter for uterine activity in labor.

OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the performance of a non-invasive EMG electrical uterine monitor (EUM) versus tocodynamometry (TOCO) by comparing both to internal uterine pressure catheter (IUPC). STUDY DESIGN Prospective observational trial. Uterine activity was recorded continuously and simultaneously, in women during active term labor, with TOCO, EUM and IUPC. Uterine activity tracings were...

Monitoring uterine activity during labor: a comparison of 3 methods.

OBJECTIVE Tocodynamometry (Toco; strain gauge technology) provides contraction frequency and approximate duration of labor contractions but suffers frequent signal dropout, necessitating repositioning by a nurse, and may fail in obese patients. The alternative invasive intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC) is more reliable and adds contraction pressure information but requires ruptured membrane...
