Drugs acting on the uterus can be classified based on their effects on the endometrium or myometrium. Oxytocin is a polypeptide hormone that acts on the myometrium to stimulate contractions during labor and delivery. It is synthesized in the hypothalamus and stored/released from the posterior pituitary. Oxytocin is used to induce and augment labor, and to prevent postpartum hemorrhage. While ergot alkaloids like ergometrine are also uterotonic, oxytocin is preferred due to its more physiological action, rapid onset and short duration of effect.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

4. OXYTOCIN
Biosynthesis:
Post Pit Oxytocin and Vasopressin
Synth. In hypothalumus Transported and stored in post.
Pitutary
Released by stimuli –coitus,parturation;suckling at breast.
Synthesis and release is pulsatile in nature.
Structure : It is a polypeptide similar to vasopressin
structurally differing only in 2 amino acids.
5.
6. PHYSIOLOGICAL ROLE OF OXYTOCIN
Oxytocin acts on uterus and mammary gland-? where as
vasopressin acts on kidney and blood vessels-?
Oxytocin stimulates both frequency and force of
contraction.
Only upper segment is contracted ,not lower segment.
7. • Estrogen increases sensitivity of uterus to oxytocin
• Progesterone decreases sensitivity of uterus to
oxytocin
• Decreased levels of progesterone at term leads to
initiation of parturition
8. PHARMACOKINETICS
ROA:
Orally-inactivated by trypsin
Administerd by I.V, I.M, rarely nasal route.
Not bound to plasma protiens
t1/2 : 2 -5 min in pregnant,10-15 min in non
pregnant women.
Metabolized in liver and eliminated by kidney
9. MOA
Acts GPCR stimulation - release of Ip3 –
activation of voltage sensitive ca channels- influx of
ca2+ - depolarisation of muscle fibres ( contraction of
uterus)
Mammary alveoli-myoepethelial cells contraction-
Milk ejection
10.
11. PH. ACTIONS:
Uterus:
Small doses Frequency and force
Large doses Sustained contraction
Sensitivity increases as pregnancy progresses-9 fold [early &
non pregnant-resistant]
Receptors increase- 30 times in last 9wks
100-200 fold in labour.
Lower segment not contracted
12. Estrogen facilitates, progesterone inhibits
Breast- Milk ejection only but doesn’t increase milk
production.
CVS- no effect on BP, but higher doses cause
vasodilatation
Kidney- ADH like
Brain: neurotransmission
13. CLINICAL USES OF OXYTOCIN
Therapeutic uses are :
To induce and augment labour-
uterine inertia,
PROM,
DM,
Preclampsia,
Rh problems etc
14. CONTD.
confirm that:
Presentation is correct
Foetal lungs are adequately mature
There is no cephalopelvic disproportion
No placenta previa
No foetal distress and
No uterine scar (due to previous surgery).
15. CONTD,
Uterine inertia
o Oxytocin can be infused i.v. to augment
contractions
Postpartum haemorrhage, Caesarean section
5 IU injected i.m. or by i.v. infusion
In hypertension mother
16. Diagnostic
Oxytocin challenge test: To assess foetal distress-placental
insufficiency.
Eg: IUGR,post maturity,PIH,DM.
Oxytocin sensitivity test-0.01units of oxytocin I.V with 1 mt
interval till contraction starts
17. WHY OXYTOCIN? WHY NOT ERGOMETRINE?
1. Short t ½- & slow i.v infusion
2. Action can be easily terminated
3. Normal relaxation of uterus allowed-Good
fetal oxygenation
4. Lower segment not affected-descent free
5. More of physiological action
18. ADVERSE EFFECTS
Maternal: Rupture uterus, water intoxication- anti
diuresis, hypotension
Foetal: Foetal distress
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
i. Grand multipara
ii. CPD
iii. Placenta previa
iv. Malpresentation eg : Breech presentation
v. Previous LSCS
vi. Foetal distress
19. Desamino-oxytocin: synthetic analogue
Buccal formulation, uses same as oxytocin
Ergometrine /ergonovine :
Ergometrine isolated from claviceps pupura
synthetic :Dihydroergometrine, Methyl ergometrine
PHARMACOKINETICS:
Rapidly and completely absorbed by oral
Metabolised in the liver and eliminated in urine.
Liver damage increases the toxicity
20. MECHANISM OF ACTION
Acts as agonits to alpha receptors, dopaminergic
and 5HT2 receptors and stimulate uterus
21. PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS:
Increase force, frequency of ut.contractions
Moderate increase of dose Basal tone increased
Lower segment also contracts- more risk of fetal distress
asphyxia
Methyl ergometrine more potent action on uterus and less
on CVS, CNS, GIT etc.
22. CLINICAL USES
o Management of 3rd stage Labour : After anterior
shoulder deliver PPH 0.2-0.5 mg I.M.
Contraction of myometrial blood vessels
o Prevent uterine atony[cesarian, instrument]
o To promote involution in multipara 0.125mg TDS -
7days
o Diagnosis of variant angina during Coronary angio
23. Ad. Effects
Nausea, vomiting,
rise in BP - ?
vasoconstriction
Decreases milk secretion-?
Dopaminergic action- inhibition of prolactin
Abortions
24. Contraindications :
Vascular disease, HTN- pre eclampsia , toxemia
Angina pectoris
TIA
Sepsisgangrene
Liver and kidney disease.
C.I.in pregnancy & early stages of labour
25. ERGOT VS OXYTOCIN
Acts directly on
myometrium- tetanic,
loss of polarity
Onset of action slow
Duration of action is
long
ADR: increased BP &
gangrene
CI: Eclampsia, Rh –ve,
heart disease
