Emergent synchronous bursting of oxytocin neuronal network. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2008
When young suckle, they are rewarded intermittently with a let-down of milk that results from reflex secretion of the hormone oxytocin; without oxytocin, newly born young will die unless they are fostered.

Oxytocin Enables Maternal Behavior by Balancing Cortical Inhibition

Nature, 2015
Oxytocin is important for social interactions and maternal behaviour. However, little is known about when, where and how oxytocin modulates neural circuits to improve social cognition.

Is amnioinfusion for intrapartum variable decelerations effective? Evaluation of the total deceleration area: A retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Data regarding the efficiency of amnioinfusion in the presence of recurrent variable decelerations (VD) are limited. Total deceleration area (TDA) has been shown to be a useful indicator of both intrapartum fetal acid–base status and neonatal morbidity.

Synthetic Vasopressin and Oxytocin Analogs and Their Potential Use in Hemorrhagic, Traumatic and Septic Shock: A Personal Perspective [PDF]

, 2017
As one of us has stated many years ago, “shock is a significant and sustained loss of effective circulating blood volume. It will eventuate in hypoperfusion of critical peripheral tissues, thus leading to a deficit in transcapillary exchange function in ...

Termination of pregnancy for medical indications: A 14‐year analysis from a tertiary referral center

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the medical indications for termination of pregnancy, gestational age at termination, and methods used in our clinic. Methods This observational retrospective study included pregnancy terminations after 10 weeks of gestation for medical indications between 2010 and 2024.

Chronic oxytocin administration stimulates the oxytocinergic system in children with autism

Nature Communications
Clinical efficacy of intranasal administration of oxytocin is increasingly explored in autism spectrum disorder, but to date, the biological effects of chronic administration regimes on endogenous oxytocinergic function are largely unknown.

Beyond happiness: Building a science of discrete positive emotions. [PDF]

, 2017
While trait positive emotionality and state positive-valence affect have long been the subject of intense study, the importance of differentiating among several "discrete" positive emotions has only recently begun to receive serious attention.

Vascular RAGE transports oxytocin into the brain to elicit its maternal bonding behaviour in mice

Communications Biology, 2019
Oxytocin sets the stage for childbirth by initiating uterine contractions, lactation and maternal bonding behaviours. Mice lacking secreted oxcytocin (Oxt−/−, Cd38−/−) or its receptor (Oxtr−/−) fail to nurture.

A role of the uterine cervix in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis and endometriosis?

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Data indicate a link between the cervix and pathologies like adenomyosis and endometriosis. Uterine flexion on the cervix, diameter and stiffness of the internal cervical orifice represent an obstacle to downstream menstrual flow, that when excessive increases the intensity of uterine contractions.

Prostaglandin dose and time to fetal expulsion after intrauterine fetal death at 22 to 28 gestational weeks in Sweden: A retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Prostaglandin regimens for induction of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) <28 gestational weeks (GW) are unstandardized. We aimed to describe prostaglandin regimens for induction after IUFD and assess association between dose and time to fetal expulsion.
