Childbirth
Induction is a method of artificially or prematurely stimulating labour in a woman.
Reasons to induce can include pre-eclampsia, placental malfunction, intrauterine growth
retardation, and other various general medical conditions, such as renal disease. Induction
may occur any time after 34 weeks of gestation if the risk to the fetus or mother is greater
than the risk of delivering a premature fetus regardless of lung maturity.

Norma Salceda MD Info:Fetal assessments

Ultrasound is routinely used for dating the gestational age of a pregnancy from the size of
the fetus, the most accurate dating being in first trimester before the growth of the fetus
has been significantly influenced by other factors. Ultrasound is also used for detecting
congenital anomalies (or other fetal anomalies) and determining the biophysical profiles
(BPP), which are generally easier to detect in the second trimester when the fetal
structures are larger and more developed. Specialised ultrasound equipment can also
evaluate the blood flow velocity in the umbilical cord, looking to detect a
decrease/absence/reversal or diastolic blood flow in the umbilical artery.

Journals whose scope specifically is within any of the subspecialties of obstetrics and
gynaecology are listed in the main articles of these.
In addition, journals with more specific scope, yet not specific to any of the main
subspecialties of obstetrics and gynaecology include:
* Placenta, the official journal of The International Federation of Placenta Associations

About Dr. Norma Salceda:

The rise of sub-specialties within gynaecology which are primarily surgical in nature (for
example urogynaecology and gynaecological oncology) have strengthened the
reputations of gynaecologists as surgical practitioners, and many surgeons and surgical
societies have come to view gynaecologists as comrades of sorts. As proof of this
changing attitude, gynaecologists are now eligible for fellowship in both the American
College of Surgeons and Royal Colleges of Surgeons, and many newer surgical textbooks
include chapters on (at least basic) gynaecological surgery.
About Dr. Norma Salceda
X-rays and computerized tomography (CT) are not used, especially in the first trimester,
due to the ionizing radiation, which has teratogenic effects on the fetus. No effects of
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the fetus have been demonstrated, but this
technique is too expensive for routine observation. Instead, ultrasound is the imaging
method of choice in the first trimester and throughout the pregnancy, because it emits no
radiation, is portable, and allows for realtime imaging.
According to the Suda, the ancient Greek physician Soranus of Ephesus practised in
Alexandria and subsequently Rome. He was the chief representative of the school of
physicians known as the "Methodists". His treatise Gynaikeia is extant (together with a
6th-century Latin paraphrase by Muscio, a physician of the same school).
In the United States, J. Marion Sims is considered the father of American gynaecology.
