Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Early identification of
high-risk deliveries, combined with appropriate medication appears as the way to treat the …

The laboring uterus is generally thought to initiate contractions much similar to the heart,
with a single, dedicated pacemaker. Research on human and animal models over decades …

Electromyometrial imaging (EMMI) was recently developed to image the three-dimensional
(3D) uterine electrical activation during contractions noninvasively and accurately in sheep …

The ability to predict the onset of labour is seen to be an important tool in a clinical setting.
Magnetomyography has shown promise in the area of labour imminency prediction, but its …

This paper investigates the application of magnetomyography (MMG) signals from uterine
contractions in pregnant patients towards the prediction of labour imminency within or above …

Preterm is viewed as the birth of a human foetus prior to 37 complete weeks of gestation. It
has effects on the health of both the foetus and the mother, has financial consequences to …

Electrohysterogram (EHG) is a promising method for noninvasive monitoring of uterine
electrical activity. The main purpose of this study was to characterize the multichannel EHG …

Organ-level models are used to describe how cellular and tissue-level contractions coalesce
into clinically observable uterine contractions. More importantly, these models provide a …

Preterm birth is a global epidemic affecting millions of mothers across different ethnicities.
The cause of the condition remains unknown but has recognised health‐based implications …

The uterine electromyogram, also called electrohysterogram (EHG), is an electrical signal
generated by the uterine contractile activity. The EHG has been considered a promising …
