Emergency obstetric and newborn care readiness in Ethiopia shows substantial geographical variation, with higher readiness in general hospitals compared to medium clinics. Oxytocin availability is positively associated with facility readiness.

Mean CERI was 57.4 (SE 2.6).

The integration of heat-stable carbetocin into routine maternal care achieved high coverage and timely administration, with a lower incidence of postpartum hemorrhage compared to oxytocin in this observational study.

200 PPH cases (0.48%) among women receiving HSC prophylaxis.

Dog behaviors traditionally viewed as stress indicators may not be reliable, as their meaning can vary based on individual attachment styles and context.

Oxytocin correlated positively with lip-licking in securely attached dogs (p < 0.05), but negatively in anxious ones (p < 0.05)

Mifepristone priming may lead to a shorter induction-to-delivery interval and less pain compared to Foley’s catheter for labor induction in cases of IUFD beyond 24 weeks.

Mean induction-to-delivery interval was 25.43±6.84 hours in Group A vs 29.26±5.54 hours in Group B; p=0.0014.

Castor oil plus membrane sweeping may be a safe and effective alternative to misoprostol for labor induction, with potential benefits in reducing secondary medical interventions.

59.2% achieved labor onset within 24 hours in the non-pharmacological group vs. 56.1% in the misoprostol group.

summary

grade

The review found that interactions between oxytocin and sex hormones are infrequently observed and lack robust evidence, highlighting the need for improved methodologies in future research.

Oxytocin may reduce subjective fear responses during high-stress situations, but its clinical implications require further investigation.

Not reported in abstract.

The study highlights the importance of specific neuronal activity patterns in social fear extinction, suggesting potential avenues for addressing treatment-resistant social anxiety disorder.

Not reported in abstract.

This study demonstrates a new method for precise delivery of oxytocin in the brain using light-controlled nanovesicles, which could enhance our understanding of neuropeptide functions.

Near-complete release achievable within a ~2-hour window.

Limosilactobacillus reuteri supplementation may help mitigate some behavioral deficits associated with PBDE exposure in mice, but the relevance to human health is unclear.

LR treatment increased plasma total thyroxine in DE-71 and plasma OXT in VEH/CON dams.

summary

B

grade

Cessation of oxytocin during the active phase of induced labor did not reduce caesarean delivery rates in this study, and maternal satisfaction decreased modestly after the policy change.

Caesarean delivery occurred in 29% of women before and 28% after policy implementation (p=0.77).

summary

A

grade

A randomized controlled trial comparing different oxytocin concentrations during labor induction is feasible, but further studies are needed to assess clinical effectiveness.

Randomised participants represented 9.2% of all births during active recruitment.

summary

grade

Dexamethasone and N-acetylcysteine have been studied as local otoprotective agents, but their benefits may not be clinically meaningful for preventing hearing loss in pediatric patients undergoing cisplatin treatment.

Not reported in abstract.

summary

grade

The success rate of vaginal delivery among women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is high, ranging from 85.1% to 90.8%, but careful monitoring of risk factors is essential.

Success rate of vaginal delivery ranged from 85.1% to 90.8%.

Midwives view obstetric violence as a complex issue influenced by various factors, emphasizing the need for better communication and supportive organizational conditions in maternity care.

summary

grade

Oral calcium carbonate does not appear to improve uterine contractility in labor, as evidenced by the lack of sustained differences in uterine activity compared to controls.

No statistically significant difference in baseline MVUs between groups (p=0.1825).

summary

D

grade

Oxytocin is regularly available in 77% of public facilities and 84% of private facilities across 31 countries, but integration of some interventions remains low.

Oxytocin was reported as regularly available in public facilities by 77% of countries.

summary

grade

Oral calcium carbonate did not significantly improve uterine contractility or clinical outcomes in this pilot study.

Absolute MVUs were higher in the intervention group at 30 minutes (p=0.0500).

This pilot study suggests that combining oxytocin with mindfulness-based group therapy may lead to improvements in negative symptoms for individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, but further research is needed to validate these findings.

d = -0.74 for PANSS-N from baseline to post-intervention in MBGT+OXT group.

summary

grade

Developmental oxytocin receptor dysfunction may play a role in pain hypersensitivity and cognitive deficits related to early life stress, but other mechanisms likely contribute to anxiety-like behaviors.

Neonatal oxytocin administration can prevent spatial memory deficits induced by early-life stress in male rats, but the implications for human application are not yet clear.

Early OT completely prevented spatial memory deficits in NMS males, n=8-12/group.
