BACKGROUND Thyroid dysfunction and autoimmunity are relatively common in reproductive age and have been associated with adverse health outcomes for both mother and child, including hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. Objective. To survey the relation between thyroid dysfunction and autoimmunity and incidence and severity of pregnancy-induced hypertensive disorders. METHOD In this case co...

The authors examined the association of gestational hypertensive disorders (hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia) with adult cognitive function among men born in 1978-1983 in a well-defined geographic area of northern Denmark. Data from the Danish Medical Birth Registry, the Danish National Registry of Patients, and draft board records were linked. Cognitive function was measured at conscripti...

Preeclampsia(PE) is a hypertensive disorder affecting about 5-14% of pregnancies worldwide and around 20% high-risk pregnancies, resulting in maternal perinatal morbidity mortality. Imbalances milieu serum sodium potassium, that are involved functioning vascular smooth muscles, leads to vasoconstriction hypertension PE. Calcium deficiency stimulates parathyroid hormone, leading vasoconstriction...

Altered levels of pregnancy hormones have been suggested to initiate testicular cancer prenatally in the male fetus. The placenta is the main source of pregnancy hormones, and pregnancy hypertension and preeclampsia are associated with placental malfunction, including altered levels of hormones such as estrogen and human chorionic gonadotropin. We therefore evaluated fetal exposure to pregnancy...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate maternal and perinatal outcome in nulliparious women complicated with pregnancy hypertension. METHODS This descriptive-analytic and case-control study was performed on 100 hypertensive and 100 normotensive nulliparious women who were referred to Imam Reza hospital in 2008. They were compared for maternal and perinatal outcomes. The data was analyzed by SPSS software. P <...

Preeclampsia encompasses multiple conditions of varying severity. We examined the recurrence and familial aggregation of preeclampsia by timing of onset, which is a marker for severity. We ascertained personal and family histories of preeclampsia for women who delivered live singletons in Denmark in 1978-2008 (almost 1.4 million pregnancies). Using log-linear binomial regression, we estimated r...

Vitamin D (VD) has exhibited immunomodulatory role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. We hypothesize VD potentiate nifedipine treatment for preeclampsia by shortened the time to control blood pressure and prolong time before subsequent hypertensive crisis. We conduct a randomized trial of 683 primigravid women with preeclampsia, who were assigned to different treatment groups, either nifedipi...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the associations between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and maternal and neonatal morbidities in a cohort of obese gravid women. METHODS Participants were enrolled in a prospective observational study designed to screen for OSA and describe the possible risk factors for and outcomes of OSA among obese (body mass index [BMI, calculated as weight (kg)/[height (m)]2] 30 o...

Background: Preeclampsia is a common medical complication in pregnancy developing countries. It one of the most causes that lead to maternal and fetal morbidity mortality. Incidence preeclampsia world 3-5%.1 In India complicates 5-15% pregnancies. As result these changes serial alteration lipid profile, mainly increase serum triglycerides, cholesterol occurs pregnant women. Methods: After IEC c...

ABSTRACT Preeclampsia is a serious problem in pregnancy that causes significant morbidity and mortality maternal, fetal, neonatal health. Eclampsia one of the most non-obstetric complications. often occurs third trimester pregnancy, particularly after 32 weeks gestation. However, some cases, preeclampsia can occur other trimesters. This cross-sectional study aims to determine relationship betwe...
