Maternal Periodontal Disease as a Potential Risk Factor for Preterm Birth and Low Birth Weight
Background and Aim: Periodontal disease may cause adverse pregnancy outcomes such as low birth weight (LBW) or preterm birth (PTB). In the present study, mothers with one of these two delivery complications were analyzed regarding presence/absence of periodontal disease as a possible risk factor in comparison with related medical risk factors. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectiona...
متن کاملCircadian fluctuation of mean ocular perfusion pressure is a consistent risk factor for normal-tension glaucoma.
PURPOSE To investigate systemic and ocular hemodynamic risk factors for glaucomatous damage in eyes with normal tension glaucoma (NTG). METHODS Each patient with diagnosed NTG underwent 24-hour monitoring of intraocular pressure (IOP) and blood pressure (BP), scanning laser polarimetry (GDx-VCC), and a Humphrey visual field (HVF) examination. Multivariate regression models were used to evalua...
متن کاملLow nocturnal ocular perfusion pressure as a risk factor for normal tension glaucoma.
OBJECTIVES In the absence of raised intraocular pressure (IOP), haemodynamic parameters have been implicated in the development of normal tension glaucoma (NTG). The purpose of this study is to compare 24-hour IOP and haemodynamic parameters in NTG patients and non-glaucoma patients. METHODS This is a cross sectional study involving 72 NTG patients from University of Malaya Medical Centre eye...
متن کاملFunctional polymorphism in the matrix metalloproteinase-9 promoter as a potential risk factor for intracranial aneurysm.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is convincing evidence that susceptibility to intracranial aneurysms (ICAs) has a genetic component. However, few studies have sought to identify functional variation in specific candidate genes that may predispose individuals to develop an ICA. METHODS ICA cases and controls were genotyped for a simple length polymorphism in the promoter of matrix metalloproteina...
متن کاملis the gstm1 null polymorphism a risk factor for primary angle-closure glaucoma among iranian population?
glutathione s-transferases (gsts) are members of multigenic family which have the essential functionin cells as an antioxidant. in the present study we studied the polymorphism of gstt1 and gstm1 deletion genotypes in iranian patients with primary closed angle glaucoma (pcag) compared to healthy subjects. we conducted a study of 41 pcag patients (24 women, 17 men) and 100 healthy participants (...
