Mode of delivery in the second stage of labour and subsequent preterm birth
Preterm birth occurs in approximately 8% of deliveries in Canada and is a leading cause of infant death and morbidity throughout the life course. While sPTB is associated with several different risk factors including prior sPTB, socioeconomic stat...

Trends in second-stage cesarean delivery in Canada and associated maternal and perinatal morbidity
Deliveries can occur either before labour, during the first stage of labour (prior to full cervical dilation), or during the second stage of labour (after full cervical dilation. In Canada, the distribution of deliveries between vaginal and cesare...

Neuroendocrine mechanisms responsible for elevated gonadotrophin-releasing hormone and luteinising hormone pulses in polycystic ovary syndrome.
Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the leading cause of anovulatory infertility in premenopausal individuals with ovaries worldwide. Despite the diagnostic features of anovulation, ovarian cysts, and hyperandrogenemia, which indicate t...

The deletion of nuclear progesterone receptors from kisspeptin cells does not impair negative feedback in female mice.
Abstract
Reproductive function in mammals depends on the ability of progesterone to suppress pulsatile gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion in a homeostatic negative feedback loop. Previous research ident...
