Comparative study of oral mifepristone and endocervical prostaglandin-E2 gel as pre-induction cervical ripening agents in parturition [PDF]
Background: Intracervical instillation of prostaglandin E2 is a well-known and widely practiced method of pre-induction cervical ripening. Mifepristone, due to its anti-progesterone action has been found to be a potential cervical ripening agent.

Inhibition of prostaglandin E2 receptor EP3 mitigates thrombin-induced brain injury
Prostaglandin E2 EP3 receptor is the only prostaglandin E2 receptor that couples to multiple G-proteins, but its role in thrombin-induced brain injury is unclear.

BACKGROUND: Labor progression curves are believed to differ between spontaneous and induced labors. However, data describing labor progression patterns with different modes of induction are insufficient.

Prostaglandin treatment is associated with a withdrawal of progesterone and androgen at the receptor level in the uterine cervix [PDF]
Treatment with prostaglandin(PG)-E2 is clinically efficient for cervical priming. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of PG-E2 on the expression of the progesterone (PR), androgen (AR) and glucocorticoid (GR) receptors in human uterine ...

Prostaglandin E2 Promotes Colorectal Cancer Stem Cell Expansion and Metastasis in Mice.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Inflammation may contribute to the formation, maintenance, and expansion of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which have the capacity for self-renewal, differentiation, and resistance to cytotoxic agents.

Rocuronium Bromide Inhibits Inflammation and Pain by Suppressing Nitric Oxide Production and Enhancing Prostaglandin E Synthesis in Endothelial Cells [PDF]
Purpose Rocuronium bromide is a nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug and has been used as an adjunct for relaxation or paralysis of the skeletal muscles, facilitation of endotracheal intubation, and improving surgical conditions during general ...

Prostaglandin E2 suppresses the differentiation of retinoic acid–producing dendritic cells in mice and humans [PDF]
Prostaglandin E2 inhibits the expression of retinal dehydrogenase, thus inhibiting retinoic acid production and the priming of gut-tropic T cells by dendritic ...

Have best of both worlds: two-pass hybrid and E2E cascading framework for speech recognition [PDF]
Hybrid and end-to-end (E2E) systems have their individual advantages, with different error patterns in the speech recognition results. By jointly modeling audio and text, the E2E model performs better in matched scenarios and scales well with a large amount of paired audio-text training data.

Vasodilatory prostaglandins play a key role in neurovascular coupling (NVC), the tight link between neuronal activity and local cerebral blood flow, but their precise identity, cellular origin and the receptors involved remain unclear.
