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.

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.

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.

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.

Apamin inhibits NO-induced relaxation of the spontaneous contractile activity of the myometrium from non-pregnant women

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2003
There is now considerable evidence for the involvement of K+ channels in nitric oxide (NO) induced relaxation of smooth muscles including the myometrium.

Magnesium Sulphate as a Tocolytic Agent in Preterm Labour

International Journal of Medical and Dental Sciences, 2015
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.

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.
