Abstract

the rutinary labor induction with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in pregnancy at 41 weeks has showed a fetal benefit without an increase in maternal morbidity or cesarean delivery. to show that the ambulatory management of prolonged pregnancy with PGE2 gel decreases the cesarean delivery and prenatal morbidity rates. quasiexperimetal study of patients with an accurate dated pregnancy of 41 weeks and beyond were analyzed. The women were divided in two groups of 196 each one. In the treated group, the endocervical application of PGE2 was followed by cardiotocographic control. If there was no reason to interrupt the pregnancy they were evaluated twice a week. Perinatal outcomes, mode of delivery and indications for cesarean section were assessed in both groups. there was a decrease in rate of cesarean delivery in treated group, 43 % versus 54 % in control group (p < 0.05). Apgar score at 1 and 5 minute showed no difference, but there were two intrauterine deaths in control group. The indications for cesarean surgery were the same in both groups and there was a case of tachysystole in each one. we concluded that decrease in the rate of cesarean deliveries without increments of fetal and maternal morbidity in this study, point to a secure ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
