Objective This study aimed to examine whether addition of cervical elastographic
parameters measured by ElastoScan for the cervix (E-cervix) improves the predictive value …

Background Accurate identification of the women who will have spontaneous preterm birth
continues to be a great challenge. The use of cervical elastography for prediction of preterm …

The goal of this study was to explore the value of shear wave elastography (SWE) combined
with cervical length (CL) in the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) between 18 …

Strain elastography of the uterine cervix may be useful in the diagnosis and prediction of
obstetric complications. The inability to obtain quantitative results, with only the possibility of …

Background We previously demonstrated that pregnant women with a history of cervical
insufficiency had a softer anterior cervical lip, shorter cervical length and wider endocervical …

Introduction To investigate changes in first trimester cervical elastography, cervical length
and endocervical canal width in pregnant women with a history of cervical insufficiency, and …

BACKGROUND Cervical length is a commonly used clinical indicator for evaluating preterm
birth. However, some studies have shown that cervical length does not change in patients …

Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the value of cervical strain elastography and
Cervical Sliding Sign (CSS) for predicting spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). Methods In our …

Background The use of cervical strain elastography for nulliparous women during late-term
pregnancy remains unclear. This study assesses the predictive value of late-term cervical …

The physical properties of the ovarian extracellular matrix (ECM) regulate the function of
ovarian cells, specifically the ability of the ovary to maintain a quiescent primordial follicle …
