Objective The purpose of this study was to identify electronic fetal monitoring patterns that are associated with neonatal respiratory morbidity. Study Design In an on-going prospective cohort study of >8000…
Objective We sought to determine the predominant cell type (macrophage, T lymphocyte, B lymphocyte, mast cell) within the area of implantation of the prototypical polypropylene mesh, Gynemesh PS (Ethicon, Somerville,…
Objective The aims of this study were evaluation of the association of reduced fetal movements (RFM) and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) birth at term and to explore if fetal and maternal outcomes…
Objective While the last 3 decades have seen numerous advances in the treatment of cervical cancer, it remains unclear if population-level survival has improved. We examined relative survival, the ratio…

Although perimortem delivery has been recorded in the medical literature for millennia, the procedural intent has evolved to the current fetocentric approach, predicating timing of delivery following maternal cardiopulmonary arrest…
Materials and Methods Eligibility criteria The research protocol was designed a priori. We performed electronic research in OVID (ie, LWW Health Library and Maternity and Infant Care), Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov , MEDLINE,…
Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are rapidly evolving plasmid transferrable enzymes that confer unique patterns of antibiotic resistance on various bacterial species. Such organisms pose special challenges to laboratory identification, as well…
Emerging evidence challenges the long-held paradigm that the healthy bladder is sterile. These discoveries may provide new opportunities to address important women’s health conditions, which include preterm labor and delivery,…
Ovarian cancer is among the most dreaded cancers since it is often found at a late stage where the opportunity for extended survival is poor. Ultrasound has been utilized in…
