ABSTRACT The influence of prostaglandin infusions on plasma progesterone (P) was determined in pregnant rats at various stages gestation. Serial blood samples were collected from the right atrium through an indwelling catheter before, during and after (PG) administration. PGE 2 PGF 2α given as intravenous 6 hours duration same rates varying 0.33 to 5.5 μg/min (total dose: 125 2000 μg/rat). Control received equal amount 0.9 % saline solution. Prostaglandins suppressed P levels all gestation,...

Transition from paediatric to adult care can be challenging for youth living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), as many feel unprepared transfer and are at high risk deterioration of glycaemic management acute complications. Existing strategies improve transition experience outcomes limited by cost, scalability, generalisability engagement. Text messaging is an acceptable, accessible cost-effective way engaging youth. Together adolescents emerging adults T1D providers, we co-designed a text...
Introduction Transition from paediatric to adult care is challenging for adolescents and emerging adults (ages 18 30 years) with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This transition characterised by a deterioration in glycaemic control (haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)), decreased clinical attendance, poor self-management increased acute T1D-related complications. However, evidence guide delivery of lacking. Given the effectiveness group education improvements qualitative measures diabetes, potentially feasible...
