Comparative StudyThe decision to delivery interval in emergency and non-urgent cesarean sections.
The aim of this study was to assess the decision to delivery interval (DDI) in our obstetric unit in comparison to current recommendations. ⋯ The proposed 30 min DDI standard was achieved in 100, 71, 47 and 35% of emergent-crash, emergent, emergent-non-crash and non-urgent cesareans sections, respectively.

Comparison of the effects of nimesulide and 5,5-dimethyl-3-(3-fluorophenyl)-4-(4-methylsulphonyl) phenyl-2(5H)-furanone (DFU) on contractions of isolated pregnant human myometrium.
To compare the effects of 5,5-dimethyl-3-(3-fluorophenyl)-4-(4-methylsulphonyl) phenyl-2(5H)-furanone (DFU) and nimesulide, selective COX-2 inhibitors, on the amplitude and frequency of KCl-, oxytocin-, and PGF(2alpha)-stimulated contractions of isolated pregnant human myometrial strips. ⋯ DFU is a more potent inhibitor than nimesulide on KCl-, oxytocin-, and PGF(2alpha)-stimulated contractions of pregnant human myometrium. The inhibitor effects of nimesulide and DFU were predominantly on KCl-stimulated contractions.
