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.

Cancer in pregnancy: FIGO Best practice advice and narrative review

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 171, Issue 1, Page 131-151, October 2025.
Abstract Cancer during pregnancy is relatively rare. The incidence is underestimated due to the lack of international registries covering both high‐income and low‐ and middle‐income countries, and is expected to rise with increasing maternal age and increasing global adoption of cell‐free DNA testing for aneuploidy.

Study on Effect of Magnesium Sulfate as Tocolytic Agent

Bangladesh Medical Journal, 2020
We face many problems in diagnosis, monitoring and adopting treatment policy.There are very limited studies about preterm labour prevention in our country and few national data are available about the incidence of preterm labour. Acute tocolysis prevents preterm labor for 48 hours, which is the critical period for antenatal steroid administration or ...

Background: Prematurity and its prevention continue to be a major challenge for both the obstetrician and neonatologist. Preterm labour is the most common obstetrical complication associated with perinatal deaths. Despite all advances in neonatology, the delivery of a preterm neonate is a clinical crisis that threatens the life and health of an infant.
