This calculator uses the Newton-Raphson method to calculate the interest rate. This is a complex process resulting in a more accurate figure for the interest rate. The Newton-Raphson method is used to choose a series of values to try, then converging on the answer once the equation balances.
Abnormal fetal heart tones, variable decelerations, or bradycardia (slow heart rate) have been consistently associated with uterine rupture. It is important to note that with a uterine rupture, labor sometimes continues, there is no loss of uterine tone or amplitude of contractions.
Medical Definition of Uterine rupture. Uterine rupture: A tear in the uterus. A uterine rupture is a very serious situation. Causes include trauma, labor with an unusually big baby, multiple gestation, and vaginal delivery after a prior C-section (in which the old C-section scar ruptures). Uterine rupture can lead to hysterectomy, urologic injury, the need for blood transfusion, and even the death of the mother and baby.
