BACKGROUND The Cervical Ripening Balloon (CRB) is a novel mechanical method for induction of labour (IOL), reducing the risks of hyperstimulation associated with pharmacological methods. However, there remains a paucity of literature on its application in high risk mothers, who have an elevated risk of uterine rupture, namely those with previous scars and grandmultiparity. METHODOLOGY A retro...

We derive a complete set of invariants for a formal Bishop surface near a point of complex tangent with a vanishing Bishop invariant under the action of formal transformations. We prove that the modular space of Bishop surfaces with a vanishing Bishop invariant and with a fixed Moser invariant s < ∞ is of infinite dimension. We also prove that the equivalence class of the germ of a generic real...

Objective: To compare cervical ripening in women having evening primrose oil with those not taking it. Study Design: Retrospective Cohort study. Setting: Department of Obs &amp; Gynae, Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, Karachi. Period: July 2018 to April 2021. Material Method: Patients were divided into 2 groups, one (EPO) 1gm twice daily from 37 weeks till labor, given by her previous birth attendant. ...

background: we sought to compare the effectiveness and safety of sublingual versus vaginal misoprostol for the termination of pregnancy with a live full-term fetus. methods: this randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed on 200 primiparous women with normal, singleton, full-term pregnancies candidated for the induction of labor. sublingual and vaginal tablets con...

PURPOSE to compare the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonographic measurement of the uterine cervix with Bishop's score for the prediction of vaginal delivery after labor induction, with 25 mcg of misoprostol. METHODS a prospective study for the validation of a diagnostic test was conducted on 126 pregnant women with indication for labor induction. The patients were evaluated by Bishop's score...

A randomized controlled trial was performed to compare the efficacy of extra-amniotic saline infusion (EASI) and intracervical traction with a Foley catheter for pregnancy termination. The study population consisted of 200 women with a pregnancy duration of 14 to 28 weeks and an indication for pregnancy termination. Inclusion criteria were an absence of effective uterine contractions, intact me...

cervix is still unclear and this action is independent of their stimulant ction on uterine muscle. We have used vaginal pessaries (Prostin E2) containing 2 mgs of Prostaglandin (prepared by our pharmacy) in patients for induction of labour, when the Bishop score was <7 (Bishop 1964) (1). Such usage of Prostin pessaries, under medical supervision, is generally unattended with any known major com...

Background; The best time to induce labor is when the cervix "ripe" at that particular moment. It mechanism through which changes in consistency before beginning of labor, Aim and objectives; analyze cervical length compare Manipal Cervical Scoring System's accuracy Bishop score order choose most effective way Subjects methods; 100 women were included this prospective trial who being evaluated ...
