We have shown that two unrelated prostaglandin antagonists block both thyrotropin (TSH) and prostaglandins E (PGE(1), PGE(2)) stimulation of thyroidal adenyl cyclase activation and cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) formation, suggesting that prostaglandins play an important role in regulating thyroid function. To further explore this postulate, we measured prostaglandin content by rad...

Abstract Mechanical methods have gained growing interest for pre-induction cervical ripening in women with an unripe cervix, since they a better safety profile compared to prostaglandins. Balloon catheters been the gold standard method decades, while there was lack of data on synthetic osmotic dilators. Not until 2015, when Dilapan-S approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) induction labo...
