In this study, we tested the hypothesis that an orally active and selective FP antagonist may arrest labor and delay parturition in animal models.
Things have changed since then, but the principles of cooperation that I learned from my dad's work with unions, that management and labor can be partners and not just antagonists, needs to be restored.
Far more than in other House contests, the candidates are being blistered by campaign advertisements from each other and from independent pressure groups including big labor and the national gun and abortion-issue antagonists.
This thesis is supported by animal studies that showed that infusion of CRH initiated early labor [ 59] and a Type I CRH receptor antagonist delayed parturition [ 60].
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of the selective prostaglandin synthase type 2 inhibitor nimesulide, alone or in combination with the oxytocin receptor antagonist atosiban, on the progression of glucocorticoid-induced premature labor in sheep.
Retosiban is a competitive oxytocin receptor antagonist that is being developed for the treatment of spontaneous preterm labor, with a goal to prolong pregnancy by ≥7 days compared to placebo, with the ultimate goal to reduce neonatal morbidities and mortality.
The objective of the study was to investigate temporal changes in interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) in human cervicovaginal fluid (CVF) in term pregnancy and labor.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether type I hypersensitivity can induce preterm labor and delivery that may be prevented by the administration of an H1 receptor antagonist or a mast-cell stabilizer.
The showdown, which has no end in sight, is being closely watched by corporations and unions across the country because it involves two often uncompromising antagonists — Caterpillar and the International Association of Machinists — that have figured in many high-stakes labor battles.
The communal benefits of multicellular cooperation include a cellular division of labor, accessing resources that cannot effectively be utilized by single cells, collectively defending against antagonists, and optimizing population survival by differentiating into distinct cell types.
