OBJECTIVE: To determine whether analysis of the frequency or regularity of uterine contractions can distinguish between women delivering vaginally and women requiring Cesarean section for dystocia.

Two experimental devices have allowed scientists to study the harmful effects of hyperperistalsis, or an excess of nonpregnant uterine contractions. The study has been published in APL Bioengineering ...

Researchers have developed a new imaging tool, called electromyometrial imaging (EMMI), to create real-time, three-dimensional images and maps of contractions during labor. The non-invasive imaging ...

New Delhi: Researchers have developed a new imaging tool, called electro myometrial imaging (EMMI), to create real-time, three-dimensional images and maps of contractions during labour that could help ...

The different cellular patterns and mechanical functions in contractions of the human heart has been identified for the first time by an American researcher. The findings indicate possible therapeutic ...

Labour contractions are your body’s way of guiding your baby into the world. But when they become too intense, too frequent, or too weak to make progress, labour can go off rhythm. Hypertonic labour ...

Isolated cardiac myocytes exhibit spontaneous patterns of rhythmic contraction, driven by intracellular calcium waves. In order to study the coupling between spatio-temporal calcium dynamics and cell ...

WASHINGTON, June 2, 2020 -- Advanced tissue engineering technologies allow scientists to mimic the structure of a uterus, enabling crucial research on fertility and disease. In an APL Bioengineering ...
