From internal uterine electrical activity knowledge to diagnosis of preterm labor

 

Abstract:
The internal uterine electrical activity has been recorded on pregnant monkeys and processed in order to characterise its spectral content. This content has been studied in terms of circadian evolution, as well as its evolution along term. Some hypothesis has been proposed to explain these characteristics and their evolution. Specific tools have been developed in order to evidence, from the abdominal signal recorded on pregnant women, parameters similar to the one observed in internal uterine EMG, or other pertinent parameters. These parameters have then been fed into different data analysis tools in order to diagnose from the abdominal signal a preterm labor threat..
