Preterm prelabour rupture of membranes is the leading cause of preterm birth and its associated infant mortality and morbidity. However, its underlying mechanism remains unknown. We utilized two novel biomechanical assessment techniques, ball indenta... Read More about New approaches suggest term and preterm human fetal membranes may have distinct biomechanical properties..
