Mitochondrial Disease Diagnosed Following Preterm Birth at 29 Weeks of Gestation and Postpartum Heart Failure: A Case Report and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In some cases, mitochondrial disease can remain undiagnosed until pregnancy reveals systemic symptoms. Clinicians should therefore consider this diagnosis in young patients presenting with diabetes, kidney disease, and hearing loss. Early diagnosis can improve maternal and fetal outcomes, particularly in high‐risk pregnancies complicated by ...

Bryophyllum pinnatum enhances the inhibitory effect of atosiban and nifedipine on human myometrial contractility: an in vitro study

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2019
Background The herbal medicine Bryophyllum pinnatum has been used as a tocolytic agent in anthroposophic medicine and, recently, in conventional settings alone or as an add-on medication with tocolytic agents such as atosiban or nifedipine.

The Role of the Vaginal Microbiome in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes: A Comprehensive Review of Mechanisms and Clinical Implications

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), a complication in approximately 4.5% of pregnancies, is a leading cause of preterm birth and significant perinatal morbidity. A substantial body of evidence implicates vaginal dysbiosis a departure from a healthy, Lactobacillus‐dominant microbiome in the pathogenesis of PPROM.

The oxytocin receptor antagonist, Atosiban, activates pro-inflammatory pathways in human amnion via Gαi signalling [PDF]

, 2016
Oxytocin (OT) plays an important role in the onset of human labour by stimulating uterine contractions and promoting prostaglandin/inflammatory cytokine synthesis in amnion via oxytocin receptor (OTR) coupling.

Comparison of Transdermal Nitroglycerine Patch and Oral Nifedipine for Tocolysis in Preterm Labour: A Prospective Interventional Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Introduction: Preterm labour and delivery have a major contribution to perinatal mortality and morbidity. Tocolytic therapy reduces neonatal mortality and morbidity by prolonging gestation, allowing for corticosteroid administration and in-utero transfer

Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for horses in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 12, Page 781-889, December 2025.
The growing problem of antimicrobial resistance also affects equine veterinarians with increasing frequency. Antimicrobial stewardship and responsible prescribing are essential for a future in which effective antimicrobials are available, as it is unlikely that new antimicrobials will become available for use in horses.

An aqueous extract of Syzygium cumini bark reduces the rate of preterm birth in rats

Intelligent Pharmacy
Preterm delivery is a considerable burden on prenatal healthcare and a major risk factor for neurological impairment and disability. A study looked at whether an aqueous extract of Syzygium cumini (AESC) bark could stop rats from giving birth too early ...

Contribution of chloride channels to the action potential and contraction in human myometrium during labour

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 23, Page 5748-5761, December 2025.
Background and purpose The action potential underpinning calcium delivery for contraction in human uterine smooth muscle (myometrium) consists of an initial spike(s) followed by a prolonged plateau of depolarization to ⁓ −25 mV. The plateau duration establishes contraction duration, especially important in labour.
