TLDR
The physiologist hopes that by the use of new techniques, or by the investigation of the action of hormones, or of new drugs, he will be able at best to reach an understanding of the process of parturition, or at least provide methods which will allow the obstetrician to obtain a greater control over the process in man.About:

Effects of standing position on spontaneous uterine contractility and other aspects of labor.
C. Méndez-Bauer,J. Arroyo,C. García Ramos,A. Menendez,M. Lavilla,F. Izquierdo,I. Villa Elízaga,J. Zamarriego +7 more
TL;DR: It is condluced that there are no clear arguments against the use of standing position during labor and that this position should be used more frequently in clinical obstetrics, provided obstetrical conditions are similar to those reported in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of emotional factors in obstetric complications: a review.
TL;DR: The most consistent findings were that women who subsequently experienced any of a variety of obstetric complications had higher anxiety levels and used fewer repressive‐type defenses than women who experienced normal pregnancies and deliveries.

Propagation of electrical activity in uterine muscle during pregnancy: a review
Chiara Rabotti,Massimo Mischi +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to structure current variegated knowledge on the properties of the uterus in terms of pacemaker position, pattern, direction and speed of the electrical activity during pregnancy and labour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normal saline i.v. fluid load decreases uterine activity in active labour.
TL;DR: In women in spontaneous labour at term gestation, uterine activity decreased after infusion of saline (P < 0.01) and returned to baseline over the next 20 min, and Hypotension was not increased in the group that received no fluid preload.

On some physiological actions of ergot.
TL;DR: The facts make it impossible to speak of the action any longer as that of chrysotoxin, as the introduction of new names on the strength of physiological results, and in default of chemical isolation of principles, would inevitably add to the existing confusion.

Physiology of the Uterus
TL;DR: While this topic is given great prominence, it cannot be said to be over-emphasized, and an excellent balance is maintained throughout the book between all aspects of uterine physiology.
The fibrous nature of the human cervix and its relation to the isthmic segment in gravid and nongravid uteri.
TL;DR: In this article, the fibrous nature of the human cervix and its relation to the isthmic segment in 12 gravid and 46 nongravid uteri was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The fibrous nature of the human cervix, and its relation to the isthmic segment in gravid and nongravid uteri.
TL;DR: It is believed that the concept of the isthmus uteri as separate distinct entity should be eliminated and that rather the uterus should be considered as being composed of 2 major parts corpus and cervix according to whether the fundamental structure is chiefly muscular of chiefly fibrous.
