Low-Level Lead Exposure and Elevations in Blood Pressure during Pregnancy
BACKGROUND Lead exposure is associated with elevated blood pressure during pregnancy; however, the magnitude of this relationship at low exposure levels is unclear. OBJECTIVES Our goal was to determine the association between low-level lead exposure and blood pressure during late pregnancy. METHODS We collected admission and maximum (based on systolic) blood pressures during labor and deliv...
متن کاملPregnancy hypertension, blood pressure during labor, and blood lead levels.
Pregnancy hypertension, blood pressure during labor, and the umbilical cord blood lead concentration were assessed in 3851 women for whom additional demographic, medical, and personal information was available. Lead levels correlated with both systolic (Pearson r = 0.081, p = 0.0001) and diastolic (r = 0.051, p = 0.002) blood pressures during labor. The incidence of pregnancy hypertension incre...
متن کاملEffects of low-level lead exposure on blood pressure and function of the rat isolated heart
OBJECTIVE Exposure to low levels of lead acetate can induce hypertension in both humans and experimental animals. The exact mechanisms of lead-induced hypertension are not well understood, but its pathogenesis could be explained by the changes in heart rate and contractility. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study, the effects of exposure to 100 ppm of lead in drinking water (for periods ...
متن کاملMissile-related Lead Exposure and Blood Pressure in Patients with Retained Pellets in the Craniomaxillofacial Region
Background: Environmental and occupational lead exposures are known to cause an elevated blood pressure but can this concept be applied to missile-related lead exposure? Methods: We implemented a controlled, cohort study design to examine study samples with long-standing missiles in craniomaxillofacial region using atomic absorption spectrophotometry and standard sphygmomanometry to measure ...
متن کاملLow level exposure to lead.
Only five people had used condoms on every occasion and eight people had not used them at all. In my clinic I have been asking girls who have had sex with strangers abroad how often they were able to persuade their partners to use condoms-or even withdrawal. I have so far reached zero out of seven. Although all the girls had asked the men to use condoms, they had refused, and the girls, all of ...
