BACKGROUND Pregnant women are at increased risk of complications in hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection, with the risk increasing as the pregnancy progresses, often leading to fulminant hepatic failure and adverse fetal outcome. AIMS The primary objective of the following study is to evaluate the maternal and fetal complications of this infection and secondary aim is to compare the clinical fea...

sleep problems are common complaints among pregnant women. this study was designed to compare subjective sleep problems in non-pregnancy condition, healthy and preeclamptic pregnancy as a major complication of pregnancy. we hypothesized that some sleep problems are more prevalent in females with preeclampsia.in this cross-sectional study, 102 women with preeclampsia, 106 healthy pregnant women ...

conclusions the determination of serotype and surface proteins of gbs strains distribution would ‎be ‎relevant ‎for the future possible formulation of a gbs vaccine. patients and methods in this cross-sectional study, a total of 100 gbs strains isolated from 237 pregnant and 413 non-pregnant women were investigated for molecular capsular serotypes and surface protein genes using the multiplex p...

This paper takes into account a hybrid power system consisting of solar and wind units. Both units are connected to the utility grid. The paper concentrates on the use of multijunction solar cell (MJSC) in order to increase the conversion efficiency. The DC output of solar photovoltaic (PV) system is raised by using boost convertor. MPPT technique is used to maximize the output of solar system....

In this paper, a model of a variable speed wind turbine using a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is presented and the control schemes are proposed. The model presents the aerodynamic part of the wind turbine, the mechanic and the electric parts. Simulations have been conducted with Matlab/Simulink to validate the model and the proposed control schemes.

Crime and violence have become a public health problem. Pregnant women have not been the exception and gunshot injuries occupy an important place as a cause of trauma. An important fact is that pregnant women, who suffer trauma, are special patients because pregnancy causes physiological and anatomical changes. Management of these patients should be multidisciplinary, by the general surgeon, th...
