Thirty-seven patients admitted for labor induction and presenting with unfavorable cervical features were randomized in a single-blind fashion to receive either 3 mg of prostaglandin E2 in an intravaginal gel or a 2-mg dose in a vaginal suppository. With the aid of previously reported placebo data,
A gel containing 0.5 mg prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was extra-amniotically instilled 90 clinically normal gravidae at term, for ripening of the cervix before elective induction of labor by amniotomy and intravenous PGE2. An acceptable increase in the Bishop score was noted to have occurred in 87/90
Labor was induced with two low-dose regimens of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) tablets in 46 high-parity women at term who had singleton pregnancies with a success rate of 97.8%. Of the successfully induced patients, 42 had vaginal delivery and three were delivered by cesarean section for cephalopelvic
With the rising rate of Caesarean sections, the number of pregnant patients with a previous Caesarean is increasing. Taking into consideration certain contraindications, it seems to be justified, to attempt induction of labour for vaginal delivery without major risk. However, the use of
Mobilization of arachidonic acid from glycerophospholipids and prostaglandin (PG) release from fetal membranes were studied in women with dysfunctional labor in the absence of cephalopelvic disproportion or fetal malposition. Using superfusion of intact amnion and chorion, we found a slight decrease
Concentrations of prostaglandins E (PGE), F2 alpha (PGF), 13,14-dihydro-15-keto prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGFM), 6-keto F1 alpha and thromboxane B2 were measured by specific radioimmunoassay in samples of amniotic fluid from 22 multigravid patients during labour. Normal labour in 10 patients was
Chorioamnionitis is implicated in the pathogenesis of preterm delivery. However, the detailed mechanisms by which infection induces preterm labor are not well understood. This study has assessed the involvement of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pro- and
Induction of labour with local application of PgE2 in breech presentation is still a much discussed problem. We aimed at studying the effect of local application of PgE2 (Prostin E2--3 mg) vaginal tablets for induction of labour in breech presentation. 15 pregnancies were studied and induced--8 for
OBJECTIVE
To determine the incidence of uterine rupture in Ministry of Health Hospitals in Bahrain and to find the risk factors associated with this obstetrical tragedy.
METHODS
A case control study was conducted on all the cases of uterine rupture in Ministry of Health Hospitals in Bahrain during

The aim of this study was to report our clinical experience of applying a uterine flexion suture, which was modified from the B-Lynch uterine compression suture, for treating uterine atony during cesarean section.

This is a retrospective descriptive study describing the use of
The influence of intramyometrial injection of 125 micrograms of 15-s-15-methyl prostaglandin F2 alpha (carboprost tromethamine, Prostin/15M) versus 20 U of oxytocin immediately after delivery of placenta on blood loss at cesarean section was investigated by means of a double-blinded, randomized
We report a case of pathological foetal Doppler velocity, specifically the absence of end diastolic flow in the umbilical artery (AEDV/REDV), suspected diabetic pregnancy and mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis, at 32 weeks of gestation. The foetal heart rate tracings were evaluated using a
Although the current literature attests to the merits of a trial of labor in the patient with a prior cesarean section, some controversies remain. For example, can women with two or more sections be allowed a trial of labor and can patients who undergo a trial of labor receive oxytocin or
