The rupture of an unscarred uterus is very rare and presents an emergency situation that threatens the life of the fetus and mother. The agents used for induction of labor, like oxytocin and/or prostaglandins, can be responsible for this catastrophic event. We report a case of intrapartum rupture of an intact uterus after using intravaginal misoprostol for cervical ripening and labor induction in a term pregnancy and we discuss the other cases reported in the literature.

Drugs for Peptic Ulcer Disease: Prostaglandin Analogs as Mucosal Protective Agents

The gastric mucosa produces prostaglandins E2 (PGE2) and prostacyclin (PGI2), crucial in maintaining gastric health. They exert cytoprotective effects, including increasing bicarbonate secretion, releasing protective mucin, reducing gastric acid output, and preventing harmful vasoconstriction. These effects are mediated through various receptors, such as EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4.
