“…Raw maternal ECGs were then processed using previous validated algorithms to generate RR intervals or HRF series corresponding to LAB and TRD segments [85]. All series consisted of 600 samples (spanning 5 to 10 minutes duration).…”

The precise mechanisms for the onset of labor at term remain unknown, yet several studies in humans reveal the role of cytokines in the initiation and maintenance of labor, showing many of the hallmarks of inflammation. Recent findings suggest a possible relationship between the activity of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the vagal anti-inflammatory response during labor. Furthermore, the role of vaginal microbiota is particularly important during pregnancy because vaginal dismicrobism is one of the most important mechanisms associated with preterm birth. In this review, we present evidence suggesting that a sterile anti-inflammatory response is manifested to attenuate the excessive inflammation introduced by low-risk labor at term, involving either the action of a cholinergic pathway, uterine-like myokines or the vaginal microbiome.

“…Raw maternal ECG recordings were then processed using previous validated algorithms to generate IBI series which corresponded to episodes of contraction (L-C), no contraction (L-NC) or pregnancy (P) segments [18]. All series (L-C = 30, L-NC = 30 and P = 30) consisted of 600 IBIs for each subject (7 ± 1 minute duration), were reconditioned by a filtering approach and tested in line with previous studies [19] to exclude for ectopic beats and artefacts.…”

“…FECG (Echeverria et al, 1998;Pieri et al, 2001) has also been extensively studied, but it is difficult to obtain high quality recordings, mainly because of the very poor signal to noise ratio (SNR). Moreover, the automated analysis of FECG is less accurate than that of CTG (Varady et al, 2003).…”
