The Oxytocin Receptor in Spermatozoa May Originate From Both Spermatogenesis and Epididymal Maturation, and Regulates Capacitation

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The oxytocin receptor (OR) is a G‐protein‐coupled receptor recently identified in human spermatozoa, whose origin and role in sperm physiology remain unknown. Objectives In this study, using the pig as a model, we examine the presence of the OR in ejaculated spermatozoa through immunofluorescence and immunoblotting, and investigate ...

Nine years' experience of trial of labor after two previous cesarean sections at a tertiary hospital – A retrospective cohort study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
A trial of labor after two previous cesarean sections (TOLAC‐2) at term with no labor induction or augmentation resulted in a 55.6% success rate for vaginal births, without an increase in maternal or neonatal morbidity and mortality. Abstract Introduction The global cesarean section (CS) rate has increased to 21.1% between 1990 and 2018.

Oxytocin Receptors and Mammary Myoepithelial Cells

Journal of Dairy Science, 1982
Abstract Oxytocin causes milk ejection by the mammary gland by eliciting contraction of myoepithelial cells, which surround the epithelial cells of the alveoli and the finer ducts (18). Most of the work reported here has been done with lactating rats. In this species expulsion of milk is almost entirely dependent upon the action of oxytocin (5, 15, 16)

Beyond evidence hierarchies: Leveraging randomized controlled trials and real‐world data to advance the value of maternity care

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Value‐based maternity care decisions should draw on cost‐effectiveness evidence from both randomized controlled trials and real‐world data, integrating them systematically rather than ranking them hierarchically. Abstract While existing literature has compared the methodological strengths and limitations of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and real ...

The Impact of Midwife Experience and Time of Birth on the Risk of Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injuries (OASIS)

Birth, EarlyView.
Background: Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) are a significant complication of vaginal birth. Methods: This retrospective cohort included 13,651 term spontaneous vaginal deliveries at a single medical center (2020‐2025). Midwife experience (early, mid, and highly experienced), shift timing, and OASIS incidence were analyzed.

Decision‐Making and Knowledge Around Inductions of Labor: A Survey Study in Ireland

Birth, EarlyView.
This study explored women's experiences of decision‐making and knowledge of inductions of labor (IOL) in Ireland. Using a national online survey of 1091 respondents who gave birth between 2018 and 2023, the research reveals substantial gaps in informed consent and autonomy.
