Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a common problem after cosmetic procedures and successful treatment of PIH remains challenging. We report the case of a 33-year-old man who presented with hyper-pigmented skin lesions on his legs that persisted for 6 months following laser hair removal. We used a 1,927-nm thulium fiber laser to treat the lesions, resulting in near complete resolution ...

Pregnancy induces complex changes concerned with hemostasis. Normal pregnancy is associated with hypercoagulable state which becomes more pronounced at term while in pre-eclampsia or pregnancyinduced hypertension (PIH), localized coagulation fibrinolytic imbalance has been reported(l,2). Various coagulation factors are decreased in concentration in PIH, especially fibrinogen, factor V, VII, VII...

Objective: To co-rrelate clinically Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) with abruption and to see the effect of antihypertensive therapy. Methods: Fifty pregnant women with PIH and 50 normotensive pregnant women with singleton pregnancy at gestational age more than 20 weeks were studied. Clinical evaluation consisted of a comprehensive history and antenatal record. All deliveries were planned ...

S 969 Marchiafava disease, i.e. PNH. When this is disregarded. the disease may remain unrecognized for a long time, until the typical syndrome of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria becomes apparent. In some cases the disorder begins with thrombocytopenic purpura (TP), s hile the typical PIH appears several years (in one female patient 12 yr) after the removal ofthe spleen for TP. In other case...

Objective: The purpose of this article is to review the literature assessing foetal and maternal pregnancy outcomes in women with PCOS who used metformin during pregnancy. Study Design: A literature search was conducted using MEDLINE, with analysis of 25 studies that recorded neonatal and maternal outcomes in women who used metformin during pregnancy. The outcomes assessed in this review includ...

Long asters rock the spindle M itotic cells regulate the lengths of their astral microtubules to keep the spindle steady during cytokine-sis, Rankin and Worde-man report. Astral microtu-bules emanate from the spindle poles toward the cell cortex and help to position the cleavage furrow at the end of mitosis by confi ning actomyosin contraction to the cell equator: when microtubules are shortene...

Essential hypertension (EH) accounts for 80-90% of hypertension, and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is responsible for hypertension during pregnancy. Both considered multifactorial disorders. While both have many features in common, conditions and causes of these diseases have yet to be clarified. Since both diseases are associated with hypertension, the genetic backgrounds may contain co...

OBJECTIVE To study the role of uterine artery notch on color Doppler ultrasound and roll over test in prediction of PIH. METHODS 100 women with high risk pregnancies were studied for presence or absence of uterine artery diastolic notch by Doppler ultrasound at 16-28 weeks. Same women were then subjected to roll over test at 28-32 weeks. RESULTS The primary outcome was that uterine diastoli...
