Evaluating the effect of maternal non-communicable disease on adverse pregnancy outcomes and birthweight in Pakistan, a facility based retrospective cohort study (2024)
Journal Article
Wainwright, E., Sheikh, I., Qureshi, R., Yousuf, S., Khan, R., & Elmes, M. (2024). Evaluating the effect of maternal non-communicable disease on adverse pregnancy outcomes and birthweight in Pakistan, a facility based retrospective cohort study. Scientific Reports, 14, Article 571. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-51122-z

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) claim 74% of global lives, disproportionately affecting lower and middle-income countries like Pakistan. NCDs may increase the risk of preterm birth (PTB), caesarean section (CS), and low birthweight. This...

The impact of maternal obesity on in vivo uterine contractile activity during parturition in the rat (2023)
Journal Article
Muir, R., Khan, R., Shmygol, A., Quenby, S., & Elmes, M. (2023). The impact of maternal obesity on in vivo uterine contractile activity during parturition in the rat. Physiological Reports, 11(5), Article e15610. https://doi.org/10.14814/phy2.15610

Maternal obesity is associated with increased risk of prolonged and dysfunctional labor and emergency caesarean section. To elucidate the mechanisms behind the associated uterine dystocia, a translational animal model is required. Our previous work i...
