Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of endorphin massage and dance applied by spouses during labor on labor pain, satisfaction with childbirth, postpartum comfort, and person-centered maternity care.
Materials And Methods: The sample of this randomized controlled experimental study consists of 105 pregnant women in their second childbirth (35 in the birth dance group,35 in the endorphin massage group, and 35 in the control group). The endorphin massage taught by the researcher to the pregnant women and their spouses was applied for 10 min.

Migraine is a common issue during pregnancy, often affected by hormonal changes. More than half of the women affected by migraine experience improvement in or remission of migraine symptoms, particularly during the second and third trimesters, with those having menstrual migraines or migraines without aura benefiting the most. However, a small percentage of women may see a worsening of their migraines, especially those with migraine with aura, and some may even develop migraines for the first time during pregnancy, often in the first trimester.

Prenatal stress (PS) affects the development and functioning of the central nervous system, but the exact mechanisms underpinning this effect have not been pinpointed yet. A promising model of PS is one based on chronic exposure of pregnant rodents to variable-frequency ultrasound (US PS), as it mimics the PS with a psychic nature that most adequately captures the human stressors in modern society. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of US PS on the brain neurotransmitter, neuropeptide, and neurotrophic systems of newborn Wistar rats.

This paper is the forty-sixth consecutive installment of the annual anthological review of research concerning the endogenous opioid system, summarizing articles published during 2023 that studied the behavioral effects of molecular, pharmacological and genetic manipulation of opioid peptides and receptors as well as effects of opioid/opiate agonists and antagonists. The review is subdivided into the following specific topics: molecular-biochemical effects and neurochemical localization studies of endogenous opioids and their receptors (1), the roles of these opioid peptides and receptors in pain and analgesia in animals (2) and humans (3), opioid-sensitive and opioid-insensitive effects of nonopioid analgesics (4), opioid peptide and receptor involvement in tolerance and dependence (5), stress and social status (6), learning and memory (7), eating and drinking (8), drug and alcohol abuse (9), sexual activity and hormones, pregnancy, development and endocrinology (10), mental illness and mood (11), seizures and neurologic disorders (12), electrical-related activity and neurophysiology (13), general activity and locomotion (14), gastrointestinal, renal and hepatic functions (15), cardiovascular responses (16), respiration and thermoregulation (17), and immunological responses (18).

Beta-endorphin is secreted from the hypothalamus and pituitary in both mother and newborn. The placenta produces numerous pituitary hormones from the third month of pregnancy, one of which is βE. It has been suggested that βE has a role in the appetitive and precopulatory phase of sexual behavior in animals.
