Induction

4.4K
An emf is induced when the magnetic field in a coil is changed by pushing a bar magnet into or out of the coil. emfs of opposite signs are produced by motion in opposite directions, and the directions of emfs are also reversed by reversing poles. The same results are produced if the coil is moved rather than the magnet—it is the relative motion that is important. The faster the motion, the greater the emf. Additionally, there is no emf when the magnet is stationary relative to the coil.

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

528
Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

In Vitro Fertilization01:24

In Vitro Fertilization

528
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...

Induced Electric Fields

4.0K
The fact that emfs are induced in circuits implies that work is being done on the conduction electrons in the wires. What can possibly be the source of this work? We know that it’s neither a battery nor a magnetic field, as a battery does not have to be present in a circuit where current is induced, and magnetic fields never do any work on moving charges. The source of the work is in fact an electric field that is induced in the wires. For example, if a stationary conductor is placed in a...

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Induction of labor is a common obstetric intervention.
  • Evidence-based guidelines are crucial for optimizing maternal and perinatal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize current literature on labor induction.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for obstetrical care providers.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search of PubMed, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library up to 2010.
  • Inclusion of systematic reviews, RCTs, CCTs, and observational studies.
  • Evidence rated using the Canadian Task Force on Preventative Health Care criteria.

Main Results:

  • Prostaglandins E2 (cervical and vaginal) are effective for cervical ripening and labor induction in cases of unfavorable cervix.
  • Intravaginal prostaglandins E2 are associated with more timely vaginal deliveries compared to intracervical administration.

Conclusions:

  • Prostaglandins are a key pharmacologic agent for labor induction.
  • Vaginal administration of prostaglandins E2 is recommended for improved delivery timing.
