Featured are apparatuses for measuring bioimpendence of tissues of the cervix, more specifically the mammalian cervix. Also featured are methods for examining the tissues of the cervix for clinical or diagnostic purposes such as during routine gynecological examinations to determine early onset of labor in pregnant patients or to assess such tissues for the presence of abnormalities such as cancerous lesions in both pregnant and non-pregnant women. Also featured are methods for treating onset of early or pre-term labor that embody such devices, apparatuses and methods of the present invention. Also featured are systems embodying such devices, apparatuses and/or methods, where such systems preferably are configured to provide diagnostic and/or clinical information to further assist the diagnostician or clinician in diagnosing and/or examining pregnant or non-pregnant patients.

A brachial plexus simulator is disclosed. The brachial plexus simulator comprises a head, a spinal assembly, and a simulated brachial plexus. The head may be weighted to a biofidelic weight and may include a tilt sensor. The spinal assembly comprises a simulated spine mounted for extension. The simulated brachial plexus comprises a network of nerve tubing that is attached relative to the simulated spine at appropriate points so as to mimic the connectivity, shape, and compliance of the brachial plexus. The nerve tubing may be filled with a fluid material whose resistance or other electrical properties change with its length, such as mercury. Maternal and fetal birthing simulators are also disclosed.

Maternal and fetal birthing simulators are disclosed. The maternal simulator has a rotatable gynecoid pelvis, legs articulated at the hip and knee joints, and a deformable covering that simulates the feel of the skin and underlying tissues. The maternal birthing simulator may optionally be used with a pressure-based uterine propulsive system. The fetal simulator has an extensible spine, a movable head, movable clavicles, and arms articulated at the shoulder and elbow joints, and may include sensors to measure spinal extension, head rotation, applied traction force, and brachial plexus displacement.
