Journal ArticleDOI
Leukocyte density and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in human fetal membranes, decidua, cervix and myometrium before and during labour at term.
Inass Osman,Anne Young,Marie Anne Ledingham,A J Thomson,Fiona Jordan,Ian A. Greer,Jane E. Norman +6 more
TL;DR: Histological analysis demonstrated that leukocytes (predominantly neutrophils and macrophages) infiltrate the uterine cervix coincident with the onset of labour, lending further support to the hypothesis that labour is an inflammatory process.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Toll-Like Receptors (TLR-2 and -4) and Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 1 (TREM-1) in Human Term and Preterm Labor:
Refaat Youssef,Marie Anne Ledingham,Shrikant Bollapragada,Neil O'Gorman,Fiona Jordan,Anne Young,Jane E. Norman +6 more
TL;DR: Toll-like receptors 2and 4 and TREM-1 are expressed in human myometrium and may play a role in the mechanism of labor at term, and their functional effects are inhibited by MPA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix metalloproteinases-2 and -9 and their inhibitors are produced by the human uterine cervix but their secretion is not regulated by nitric oxide donors
TL;DR: It is postulate that during the process of cervical ripening, there is an increase in the activity of MMP in order to facilitate cervical connective tissue change and nitric oxide donors induce cervical Ripening in vivo.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Development of A Multi-Modality Navigational Based Training System for Fetoscopic Surgical Therapy
Marie Anne Ledingham,Wei Yao +1 more
TL;DR: The use of optical tracking technology is investigated to construct a novel simulated training system and accompanying scoring assessment under the Proficiency-Based Training model (PBT), providing real-time positional feedback of surgical tools and a quantitative feedback assessment of a surgical resident's technical skills.
