Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...

Oxytocin and orexin systems bidirectionally regulate the ability of opioid cues to bias reward seeking

Translational Psychiatry, 2022
As opioid-related fatalities continue to rise, the need for novel opioid use disorder (OUD) treatments could not be more urgent. Two separate hypothalamic neuropeptide systems have shown promise in preclinical OUD models. The oxytocin system, originating

Oxytocin Receptor Signaling in Vascular Function and Stroke

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
The oxytocin receptor (OXTR) is a G protein-coupled receptor with a diverse repertoire of intracellular signaling pathways, which are activated in response to binding oxytocin (OXT) and a similar nonapeptide, vasopressin.

Does induction or augmentation of labor increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage in pregnant women with anemia? A multicenter prospective cohort study in India

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 299-309, April 2025.
Abstract Objective To investigate whether induction/augmentation of labor in pregnant women with anemia increases the risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and whether this risk varied by indications for labor induction/augmentation and by anemia severity in pregnancy.

New Topics in Vasopressin Receptors and Approach to Novel Drugs: Vasopressin and Pain Perception

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) activates three vasopressin receptors and it also has an agonistic activity on the oxytocin receptor. For an accurate description of the target receptor subtype(s) responsible for complex AVP and oxytocin actions, a careful ...

External validation of calculator for cesarean delivery during induction of labor

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To validate a published risk calculator to predict cesarean delivery (CD) among singletons undergoing induction of labor. Methods Our retrospective cohort study included singletons undergoing induction of labor. A predicted CD score was calculated for each individual based on a previously developed calculator.

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.
