In normal pregnancy, the cervix functions as a protective mechanical barrier that must
remain tight and closed. Premature remodeling and consecutive shortening occur in many …

Uterine cervix is a part of the uterus responsible for maintaining pregnancy till term. As long
as the cervix remains long and firm and its internal orifice (os) is closed, it can withstand …

Background Preterm birth is a major health problem in developing and developed countries
leading to rising health care costs and long-term neurodevelopmental disability. The study …
