(n.) The act of producing or bringing forth children; parturition.
Example Sentences:
(1) Even though attempts to generalize the data from childbearing women to women of childbearing age have an inherent conservative bias, the results of our study suggest that 988 women (95% CI 713 to 1336) aged 15 to 44 years in Quebec had HIV infection in 1989.
(2) In addition, special efforts are made to combine HIV-infected women to avoid pregnancy and childbearing, both for their own prognosis and the health of the infant.

(8) More conservative approaches have been used in young women requesting preservation of their childbearing ability, including CO2 laser excision, knife excision, cryotherapy, and electrocauterization.
(9) However, there are important racial and ethnic differences in the likelihood of rapid repeated childbearing: Among whites, age at first birth has little effect on the proportions who have a second birth quickly; but among blacks, it has a significant inverse effect, with younger women more likely than older women to have a second child quickly.
(10) Despite a recognized need for the inclusion of women of childbearing age in drug studies, many such studies include only men.

(14) The purpose of this study, which interviewed 356 couples of childbearing age in the Lyon region of France, was to analyze the different attitudes of men and women towards parenthood, and to identify the social and personal characteristics which may modify these attitudes.
(15) The data presented give some indication of maternal morbidity in the childbearing population served by this tertiary center and should lead to improvements in provision of services as well as in health data collection in the future.
(16) While treatment of a young woman with a dysgerminoma of 1 ovary is a matter of perplexity, we believe that a unilateral operation should be limited to those women who desire above all earthly things to retain their childbearing capacity.
(17) These include: overbroad categorization of all women as potential childbearers, no matter what their childbearing intentions; failure to recognize the full range of potential adverse health effects to males; disparate application of the restrictive regulations, generally to occupations or areas of employment that are traditionally held by men, while traditional female jobs with the same exposures are excluded from the regulatory restriction.
(18) Nevertheless, it is recommended that pregnancy be delayed until 2 to 3 years after completion of treatment, especially if axillary nodes were positive for tumor--not because of any influence of the pregnancy on the malignancy, but rather to defer childbearing until after the period of greatest risk of recurrence of the tumor.
(19) As HIV infection increases in women, childbearing becomes a major concern due to its effect on the mother and also a fetal transmission rate approximating 40%.
(20) The positive correlation between maternal age and maternal mortality risk found in the study indicates that childbearing in women aged above 35 years is significantly more hazardous than in younger women.
Parturition
Definition:
(n.) The act of bringing forth, or being delivered of, young; the act of giving birth; delivery; childbirth.
(n.) That which is brought forth; a birth.
Example Sentences:
(1) In all cases foetal administration of glucocorticoid led to the onset of labour, and lambing, and in all animals the hormonal changes preceding parturition were indistinguishable (either qualitatively or quantitatively) from the changes observed in animals carrying intact lambs.
(2) Current approaches to control fertile estrus and parturition in the pig are discussed.
(3) The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to pineal influences on parturition.
(4) Following parturition, NONLAC cows averaged 4.0 d to negative EB nadir and 14.3 d to first ovulation.
(5) A close similarity was evident between variation in ATP and somatic cell count, except during the first 10 d after parturition when the variation in ATP was more pronounced.
(6) Of the remaining 10 women, 3 had to be operated on, whereas 7 received only conservative treatment, as the expected time for parturition was very close.
(7) Prolonged administration of rat prolactin antiserum resulted in an increase in the incidence of resorptions, but pregnancy was still maintained followed by normal parturition.
(8) Treatment with MPG led to an obvious increase in embryonic survival in all groups, and even in the 185 kBq group two-thirds of the females had parturition.
(9) These findings indicate that a structure in the fetal brain, the fetal hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus, is necessary for parturition to occur.
(10) These results show that chronic T4 treatment induces an advance of approximately 12 h in luteolysis, which in turn advances lactogenesis and parturition in rats.
(11) At parturition, body weights of pups did not differ as a function of dietary condition.
(12) These data do not agree with the conclusions drawn from observations in other mammals that a disappearance of adrenergic nerves from the myometrium is associated with the initiation of parturition, or that gap junction formation is associated with changes in nerve function.
(13) The maternal adrenal and plasma corticosterone levels, before parturition, were lower in the morning than in the afternoon excepting day 22 when morning values were as high as those in the afternoon of day 21.
(14) Adverse effects on conception, pregnancy, or parturition were not observed in the treated bitches.
(15) The concentration of progesterone in peripheral blood increased by more than 300%, on an average, from the 25th day after parturition.
(16) Absolute leukocyte values increased through gestation and reached maximum values shortly before parturition.
(17) Dilatation of the cervix at parturition necessitates changes in the physical characteristics of cervical collagen and glycosaminoglycans which are probably hormone-dependent.
(18) Conversely, in 5 pregnant and 1 non-pregnant tammar injected with ovine prolactin on Day 23, to mimic the condition induced by advancing the time of parturition with progesterone, the decline in plasma progesterone was not advanced and the endogenous prolactin pulse, parturition, post-partum ovulation and the LH pulse all occurred after intervals similar to those of controls.
(19) Because we previously demonstrated that oxytocin releases ET-1 from endometrial cells in primary culture and that endometrial and myometrial oxytocin receptors abruptly rise at the time of parturition, we propose that ET-1 might participate in the complex cell-to-cell interactions that occur during labor.
(20) Concentrate consumption should be increased gradually following parturition, and careful attention to the soluble and undegradable protein fractions of the diet is warranted.
