TL;DR: There was a significant reduction in the induction‐delivery interval in nulliparae receiving at least 3.0 mg of prostaglandin gel, whereas, in multiparae all doses achieved this effect, and there was no difference in the incidence of spontaneous labour, epidural anaesthesia or Caesarean section between the patients who received prostag landin or those receiving gel alone.

TL;DR: Patients with spurious labour were more likely to have had a spontaneous or induced abortion in the preceding pregnancy and there was a significantly increased incidence of meconium‐stained liquor in patients who continued to have painful uterine contractions, but in whom labour did not ensue.

TL;DR: In contrast to spontaneous conceptions, IVF pregnancies had a low rate of pregnancy loss once fetal heart movements were demonstrated, when the gestation sac size was small‐for‐dates, which may lead to the misdiagnosis of a failed pregnancy.

TL;DR: Seventeen cases of fetal death in utero and 3 cases of anencephaly have been managed by the extra‐amniotic instillation of prostaglandin F2α in Tylose followed 12 hours later by amniotomy and the intravenous infusion of oxytocin in escalating doses.
