Assessment and support in early labour does not have a clear impact on rate of caesarean section or instrumental vaginal birth, or whether the baby was born before arrival at hospital or in an unplanned home birth. However, evidence suggested that interventions may have an impact on reducing the use of epidural anaesthesia, labour augmentation and on increasing maternal satisfaction with giving birth. Evidence about the effectiveness of early labour assessment versus immediate admission was very limited and more research is needed in this area.
The Japanese wood pigeon (Columba janthina) is endemic to the islands of East Asia and it is included in the Japanese and Asian Red Lists because of its narrow habitat range that is restricted to mature forests on small islands and because of the destruction of these habitats. We examined the genetic structure of Columba janthina by studying 463 base pairs of the mitochondrial control region sequences. We analyzed 154 samples from eight populations and identified 27 haplotypes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
