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 ...

Molecular discoveries may help improve treatments for labor and pain. When labor starts, the uterus must produce steady, ...

Researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have developed a new imaging tool, called electromyometrial imaging (EMMI), to create real-time, three-dimensional images and maps of ...

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 ...

One of the biggest things a first-time mother may wonder as she approaches her due date is what contractions will feel like during labor. Many women may even wonder if they will be able to recognize ...

Studies examining the fetal heart rate (FHR) prior to uterine rupture consistently report that non-reassuring fetal heart rate patterns are the predominant sign suggesting impending or actual uterine ...

New research could help explain one of the “miracles” of childbirth – how the uterus contracts to push babies into the world. Computer models, developed by researchers in India and France, reveal that ...

When labor begins, the uterus must coordinate rhythmic, well-timed contractions to deliver the baby safely. While hormones such as progesterone and oxytocin are key contributors to that process, ...
