| Because there was no statistically significant difference in sensitivity and specificity of the two techniques, improved detection of cervical abnormalities and better specimen adequacy might not be a consequence of utilizing liquid-based preparations but of a better sampling technique. | |
| Cervical massage is hence an effective and safe alternative to membrane sweeping when the latter cannot be performed owing to a closed cervical os. | |
162 Citations | These regional differences have two important implications in that: (i) the cervical membrane may represent a region of structural weakness susceptible to rupture during labour, and (ii) the paracrine relationships between fetal membranes and the myometrium may be qualitatively affected within different regions of the uterus. |
| The complication rates with cervical massage are comparable to membrane sweeping. | |
34 Citations | The difference in MGL of the ultrasound gray-level histogram may enable objective evaluation of cervical consistency. |
26 Citations | These reports and other clinical data support the concept that cervical competence is not a dichotomous variable, but more likely functions along a continuum that is reflected by the relationship between cervical length and reproductive outcomes. |
| Cervical ultrasound assessment of the cervix prior to membrane sweeping is associated with spontaneous vaginal birth within 24 and 48 hours from the procedure. | |
22 Citations | In particular, the discrimination between normal cervical squamous epithelium and CIN is of relevance to cervical screening pathology. |
| RESULTS We present reflectance and fluorescence confocal images of cervical tissue demonstrating the ability to differentiate between normal and abnormal cervical tissue. | |
14 Citations | These results suggest that the backscattered power difference, but perhaps not attenuation, may be a useful clinical biomarker of cervical remodeling. |
