Inhibition of bronchoconstriction by aerosols of prostaglandins E1 and E2.
The proposal that some naturally occurring prostaglandins (PGs) or their by-products may be implicated in the pathogenesis of the asthmatic bronchospasm has been suggested. Other PGs may be potentially useful in the treatment of this lung disease. The present investigation compared the bronchodilator effects of PGE1 and PGE2 in pharmacologically constricted experimental animals. In pentobarbita...
متن کاملOral prostaglandins in the induction of labour.
Prostaglandins E(2) and F(2)alpha were administered by mouth to induce labour in 24 patients at or past term. The drugs were administered at two-hourly intervals in doses ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 mg for prostaglandin E(2) and from 5 to 15 mg for prostaglandin F(2)alpha. Of the 10 cases in which prostaglandin E(2) was used, labour was successfully induced in eight and there were no side effects. ...
متن کاملInduction of labour using prostaglandin E2 pessaries.
The blanket use of prostaglandin E2 pessaries, as reported by Mr J H Shepherd and his colleagues (14 July, p 108), does concern me. While they did draw attention to the need for fetal monitoring in such patients, I wonder how satisfactorily this can be achieved, especially in relatively high-risk cases, under such circumstances and whether such monitoring could not be better achieved by direct...
متن کاملComparison of Intravaginal Misoprostol Tablet (Prostaglandin E1) and Intracervical Dinoprostone (Prostaglandin E2) Gel in Induction of Labour
Cervical ripening is an essential factor for initiation of normal labour for vaginal delivery. Prior to onset of spontaneous labour the cervix undergoes a gradual process of ripening. But in certain cases it does not occur spontaneously at term and sometimes induction of labour is required. Then cervical ripening means high bishop score in essential for successful induction of labour. This comp...
متن کاملThe effect of prostaglandins E1 and E2 on the human erythrocyte as monitored by spin labels.
The effects of the prostaglandins PGEl and PGEa on the deformability of the human erythrocyte were studied using spin-labeled erythrocytes. Two magnetic resonance parameters were measured: (1) The orientation relaxation time, t i! , for the erythrocyte, and (2) the order parameter, S, for a fatty acid spin la el bound to the membrane. Prostaglandins PGEl and PGEz exhibited opposite effects on b...
