Atosiban is a novel tocolytic agent that acts as an oxytocin receptor antagonist, specifically targeting the myometrium to delay preterm birth. It has the best safety profile of available tocolytics as it does not affect other tissues. Atosiban is the only licensed tocolytic and is recommended as the first-line treatment for preterm labor. It provides uterine relaxation within 10 minutes of administration with minimal maternal and neonatal side effects. Atosiban has been shown to not alter uterine or fetal blood flow and its use is not associated with any serious adverse drug reactions.

This document discusses prematurity and preterm labor. It defines prematurity as birth before 37 weeks gestation and notes the leading causes of neonatal mortality are related to prematurity. Risk factors for preterm labor include previous preterm birth, infection, uterine abnormalities, multiple gestation, and idiopathic causes. Complications of preterm birth include respiratory distress, infections, developmental delays and long term disabilities. Diagnosis involves screening high risk women and evaluating cervical length and dilation during threatened or established labor. Management includes tocolytic drugs, corticosteroids and neonatal intensive care. Commonly used tocolytic classes are NSAIDs, beta-agonists and calcium channel blockers, with the goal of prolonging
This document discusses preterm labour, including definitions, incidence, risk factors, causes, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management. Some key points:
- Preterm labour is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Risk factors include infections, cervical issues, multiple gestations, and stress.
- Causes include activation of the HPA axis, inflammation, decidual hemorrhage, and uterine overdistention. Progesterone supplements and smoking cessation may help prevent preterm labour.
- Diagnosis relies on regular contractions and cervical changes before 37 weeks. Tocolytics like terbutaline and nifedipine can delay delivery to allow antenatal steroids to improve neonatal outcomes.
This document discusses the case of a preterm baby born at 28 weeks and 2 days gestation who experienced respiratory distress syndrome, apnea of prematurity, sepsis, and grade 1 germinal matrix hemorrhage but was eventually discharged home on oxygen and follow up care. The baby was treated with CPAP, caffeine, antibiotics, phototherapy, and other supportive care measures over 38 days in the NICU.
This document provides summaries of various obstetrics topics including:
1) Classification of hypertension in pregnancy into 4 categories and risk factors.
2) Causes, risks, and methods of predicting preterm labor.
3) Definitions and risks of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and postterm pregnancy as well as surveillance and treatment.
4) Guidelines for management of conditions like preeclampsia, preterm labor, chorioamnionitis, and intrauterine growth restriction.
Preterm labor is defined as labor occurring between 20-37 weeks gestation. Risk factors include maternal infections, previous preterm births, and placental abnormalities. Early preterm labor (<34 weeks) is treated with tocolytics to delay labor, corticosteroids to improve lung maturity, and antibiotics for infections. Late preterm labor (34-37 weeks) may be observed expectantly. Premature rupture of membranes can occur before or during labor. Term PROM leads to delivery while preterm PROM is managed expectantly or with antibiotics for prolonged or infected cases.
The document discusses preterm birth rates in the United States, risks of preterm birth for infants, and potential causes and predictors of preterm birth. It also reviews various interventions for preventing preterm birth, including cervical cerclage, tocolytic medications, progesterone supplementation, and cervical length screening.
This document discusses preterm labour, including definitions, incidence, risk factors, causes, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. It causes can include activation of the HPA axis, inflammation, decidual hemorrhage, and uterine overdistention. Treatments include tocolytics like beta-mimetics and calcium channel blockers, antibiotics, cervical cerclage, progesterone, and antenatal steroids.
This document discusses preterm labor, including a case study. It defines preterm labor as occurring between 24-37 weeks gestation. Epidemiology shows that 12% of deliveries are preterm. Risk factors include previous preterm birth, infections, and smoking. Diagnosis involves assessing contractions and cervical changes. Complications of prematurity include respiratory distress and intraventricular hemorrhage. Management goals are to delay delivery for steroid administration and transport to facilities with NICU capabilities using tocolysis like nifedipine. Prevention strategies have not proven consistently effective.
This document discusses infertility evaluation and treatment. It begins by outlining factors to consider before trying to conceive and describing methods for timing intercourse. Common causes of infertility include problems with ovulation, male factor issues, and tubal or uterine abnormalities. Treatment options range from lifestyle changes to assisted reproductive technologies like intrauterine insemination, ovulation induction, and in vitro fertilization. While assisted reproduction can help many couples conceive, it may also lead to multiple births and there are still some unknown risks for children conceived through these methods.
This document summarizes information about late preterm birth (34-36 weeks gestation). It notes that late preterm births make up 74% of all preterm births and have increased 20% in recent years. While these infants are near term, they still face medical complications like respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, and temperature instability. Late preterm infants have increased need for hospital care, longer hospital stays, and higher costs compared to full term infants. The document recommends strategies to reduce late preterm births including avoiding early induction/cesarean without clear medical need and educating patients and providers about risks of late preterm birth.
This document discusses several autoimmune and endocrine conditions that can affect pregnancy, including their presentation, diagnosis, and management. It covers thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, myasthenia gravis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. For each condition, it describes associated risks for the mother and fetus, as well as recommendations for treatment and monitoring during pregnancy and delivery. The goal is to maintain maternal and fetal health while minimizing medication exposure for the baby.
Preterm labor is defined as labor beginning before 37 weeks of gestation and can result in neonatal morbidity and mortality. The causes are often multifactorial but include infection, cervical insufficiency, multiple gestation, and prior preterm birth. Diagnosis requires regular contractions and cervical changes. Management focuses on delaying delivery through tocolysis if possible, administering steroids to enhance lung maturity, and preventing infections. Close monitoring of labor and resuscitation of premature newborns is important.
1) First trimester fetal death refers to death of the fetus before 12 weeks of gestation, often called a miscarriage. About 80% of spontaneous pregnancy losses occur in the first trimester.
2) Chromosomal abnormalities account for about 50% of first trimester losses, with the most common being trisomy 16, monosomy X, and translocations. Other causes include diabetes, thyroid disorders, infections, and luteal phase defects.
3) Diagnosis involves history, ultrasound to check for cardiac activity, and beta-hcg levels. Management depends on stability of the woman and includes expectant, medical, or surgical options. Recurrent losses should be further evaluated and treated.
Pre term & premature rupture of membranes (prom)Kasturi Ramasamy
This document discusses pre-term labour and premature rupture of membranes. It defines pre-term labour as labour starting before 37 weeks of gestation. The main causes of pre-term labour are previous pre-term births, infections, medical conditions, and idiopathic factors. Management involves preventing pre-term birth if possible through bed rest and tocolytic drugs, as well as administering corticosteroids to improve neonatal outcomes. Premature rupture of membranes is rupture of membranes before labour begins, and increases risk of infection and pre-term birth. Diagnosis involves testing fluid pH and microscopy. Management depends on gestational age and risk of infection, and may involve antibiotics, induction of labour, or expectant management
This document discusses the role of progesterone in pregnancy and preventing preterm birth. It begins by outlining the problem of preterm birth globally, noting that 15 million babies are born preterm each year. It then discusses various trials investigating the use of progesterone supplementation to prevent preterm birth, including the large NICHD/MFMU trial which found that weekly injections of 17α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate reduced preterm birth rates. The document also notes vaginal progesterone trials have shown benefits but results are more mixed in high-order multiples and women with a short cervix may benefit most.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

29. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transdermal nitroglycerin as a
tocolytic agent in women with preterm labor. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a systematic review and
metaanalysis of randomized controlled trials. RESULTS: Thirteen studies were included (1302 women) comparing
transdermal nitroglycerin vs placebo (2 studies; n = 186); β2-adrenergic receptor agonists (9 studies; n = 1024);
nifedipine (1 study; n = 50); and magnesium sulfate (1 study; n = 42). There were no significant differences
between transdermal nitroglycerin and placebo for delivery within 48 hours of the initiation of treatment or at <28,
<34, or <37 weeks of gestation, adverse neonatal outcomes, and neurodevelopmental status at 24 months of life.
Nevertheless, 1 study found a marginally significant reduction in the risk of a composite outcome of major
neonatal morbidity and perinatal death (3/74 [4.1%] vs 11/79 [13.9%]; relative risk, 0.29; 95% confidence interval,
0.08-1.00). When compared with β2-adrenergic receptor agonists, transdermal nitroglycerin was associated with a
significant reduction in the risk of preterm birth at <34 and <37 weeks of gestation, admission to the neonatal
intensive care unit, use of mechanical ventilation, and maternal side effects. There were no significant differences
between transdermal nitroglycerin and nifedipine and magnesium sulfate in delivery within 48 hours of treatment
and pregnancy prolongation, respectively. Overall, women who received transdermal nitroglycerin had a higher
risk of headache. CONCLUSION: Although transdermal nitroglycerin appears to be more effective than β2-
adrenergic receptor agonists, the current evidence does not support its routine use as a tocolytic agent for the
treatment of preterm labor. Further double-blind placebo-controlled trials are needed.

59. The NIFTY study: A multicentre randomised double-blind
placebo-controlled trial of nifedipine maintenance tocolysis
in fetal fibronectin-positive women in threatened preterm
labour.
Parry E, Roos C, Stone P, Hayward L, Mol BW, McCowan L.
Aust N Z J Obstet Gynaecol. 2014 Feb 8. doi: 10.1111/ajo.12179.
OBJECTIVE: In an unselected group of women with signs of preterm labour, maintenance tocolysis is not effective
in the prevention of preterm birth and does not improve neonatal outcome. Among women with signs of preterm
labour, those who are fetal fibronectin positive have an increased risk of preterm birth. We investigated whether
maintenance tocolysis with nifedipine would delay delivery and improve neonatal outcome in women with
threatened preterm labour and a positive fetal fibronectin status. STUDY DESIGN: Women with a singleton
pregnancy in threatened preterm labour (24+0 to 33+6 weeks) with a positive fetal fibronectin test were
randomised to nifedipine or placebo. Study medication was continued until 36 completed weeks' gestation. The
primary endpoint was prolongation of pregnancy of seven days. Secondary endpoints were gestational age at
delivery and length of NICU admission. RESULTS:Of the 60 participants, 29 received nifedipine and 31 placebo.
Prolongation of pregnancy by >7 days occurred in 22/29 (76%) in the nifedipine group and 25/31 (81%) in the
placebo group (relative risks, RR 0.94 [0.72-1.2]). Gestational age at delivery was 36.1 ± 5.1 weeks for nifedipine
and 36.8 ± 3.6 weeks for placebo (P = 0.027). Length of NICU admission [median (interquartile ranges, IQR)] was
27 (24-41) days and 16 (8-37) days in nifedipine and placebo groups, respectively (P = 0.17). CONCLUSION:In
women with threatened preterm labour who are fetal fibronectin positive, maintenance tocolysis with nifedipine does
not seem to prolong pregnancy, nor reduce length of NICU admission.

Nifedipine and atosiban have comparable effectiveness in
delaying birth for up to seven days
A systematic review using adjusted indirect comparison
between nifedipine and atosiban concluded that nifedipine
was associated with a non-significant trend towards increased
delay in delivery by 48 hours
Rofecoxib, a COX-2 inhibitors, there is therefore no good
evidence that it reduce the risk of preterm birth.
There is no clear evidence that magnesium sulphate
reduces the risk of preterm birth. However, magnesium
reduces the risk of cerebral palsy (RR 0.68; 95% CI 0.54–
0.87; five trials; 6145 infants).
Using multiple tocolytic drugs appears to be associated with a
higher risk of adverse effects and so should be avoided.

The use of 17-hydroxy progesterone in women with arrested
preterm labor: a randomized clinical trial.

Abstract Background: The use of 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17 P) has been shown
to reduce preterm delivery in women who have had a prior preterm birth. The role of 17 P in women
with arrested preterm labor is less certain. Aims: To compare the preterm birth rate and neonatal
outcome in women with arrested preterm labor randomized to receive 17 P or placebo. Materials
and methods: Women with arrested preterm labor were randomized to weekly injections of either
17 P (250 mg) or placebo. Maternal and neonatal outcome were evaluated. Results: Forty-five
singleton pregnancies were randomized after successful tocolysis; 22 received 17 P while 23 got
placebo. Gestational age at delivery (p = 0.067) and the interval from treatment to delivery
(p = 0.233) were not affected by 17 P. Significantly less women in the 17 P group delivered at <34
weeks (14 versus 21, p = 0.035). There was also a significant reduction in the risk of neonatal
sepsis (p = 0.047) and gr III/IV intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) (p = 0.022) in the 17 P group.
Conclusion: In this study, 17 P did not delay the interval to delivery after successful preterm labor,
but births <34 weeks as well as neonatal sepsis and IVH were reduced by 17 P treatment.

68. The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy and safety of nifedipine and progesterone for maintenance
tocolysis after arrested preterm labour, in prolonging pregnancy and preventing recurrence of preterm labour.
This study was a randomised comparative study conducted on 110 pregnant women with arrested preterm labour,
randomised to receive either nifedipine 20 mg Q 8-hourly or progesterone 400 mg daily for maintenance tocolysis.
Other than demographic parameters, obstetric parameters like previous history of abortions or preterm deliveries,
gestational age, cervical dilatation and effacement, ultrasound measured cervical length at admission, were noted.
Outcome measures studied were mean prolongation of pregnancy, mode of delivery, neonatal outcome and side-
effects of both the drugs. We found that there was no significant difference in the demographic profile, parity,
number of abortions, previous preterm deliveries, gestational age, cervical dilatation and effacement at admission
between the two groups. A total of 10% of the patients in the nifedipine group and 61% of the patients in the
progesterone group delivered at term (p value 0.000). The mean prolongation of pregnancy in the nifedipine group
was 16.63 days and 40.14 days in the progesterone group which was significant (p = 0.000). Neonates in the
progesterone group had better birth weight, better Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min, lesser need for ventilation and
significantly lesser composite morbidity. Nifedipine was associated significantly with side-effects. We conclude
that when compared with nifedipine, progesterone significantly prolongs pregnancy in women with arrested
preterm labour with better neonatal outcome and fewer side-effects.

69. Abstract The most significant action of progesterone appears to be on the cervix and in prevention
rather than on treatment of preterm delivery. In women with singleton gestations, no prior PTB, and
CL <20 mm at <24 weeks, vaginal progesterone, either 90 mg gel or 200 mg suppository, is
associated with reduction of both preterm birth (PTB) and perinatal morbidity/mortality. Cerclage is
as effective as vaginal progesterone in women with CL <25 mm. Treatment of women with previous
PTB with 17OHP-C from 16 to 20 weeks' gestation until 36 weeks could reduce significantly both
the risk of delivery at <37, <35 and <32 weeks' gestation, as well as the rates of NEC, the need for
supplemental oxygen and IVH. In women successfully treated with tocolytics progesterone
combined with corticosteroid therapy lengthens pregnancy, reduces occurrence of respiratory
distress syndrome and low birth weight. However, there is currently insufficient evidence on the role
of progesterone after arrested preterm labor. It is reasonable to support an approach with CL
screening of women with prior PTB starting at 16 to 19 weeks and administration of progesterone to
women with a short cervix. Cerclage may be offered to those with a CL<25 mm. A combination of
traditional tocolytics, corticosteroids and progesterone might be beneficial.
