Diagnosis of cervical change in pregnancy by means of transvaginal ultrasonography.

Abstract:

:There are no absolute objective diagnostic criteria for cervical incompetence. Abdominal and endovaginal ultrasonographic assessment of endocervical length, both of which have been associated with technical problems, have been used to establish the diagnosis. Cervical cerclage may be useful in preventing silent cervical dilatation; however, no prospective trials with and without cerclage have been performed when endocervical shortening has been demonstrated by ultrasonography.

  • Transforming growth factor-beta opposes the stimulatory effects of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor on amnion cell prostaglandin E2 production: implication for preterm labor.

    abstract:OBJECTIVE:In preterm labor increased concentrations of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor are present in amniotic fluid. These cytokines may promote labor by stimulating the production of prostaglandins by intrauterine tissues. In many biologic processes, transforming growth factor-beta modifies the actions of cyt...
