Preeclampsia is one of the illnesses associated with placental dysfunction and pregnancy-induced hypertension, which appears after first 20 weeks pregnancy marked by proteinuria hypertension. It can affect pregnant women limit fetal growth, resulting in low birth weights, a risk factor for neonatal mortality. Approximately 10% pregnancies worldwide are affected hypertensive disorders during pre...

Pregnancies complicated by new-onset hypertension are associated with increased sensitivity to angiotensin II, but it is unclear whether this sensitivity persists postpartum. We studied pressor response to infused angiotensin II in 25 normotensive postpartum women in both high- and low-sodium balance. Ten women had a history of hypertensive pregnancy (5 with preeclampsia; 5 with transient hyper...

the purpose of this research was to formulate and systemically evaluate in-vitro and in-vivo performances of mucoadhesive propranolol hydrochloride microspheres for its potential use in the treatment of hypertension, myocardial infraction and cardiac arrhythmias. propranolol hydrochloride mucoadhesive microspheres, containing carbopol-934p as mucoadhesive polymer and ethyl cellulose as carrier ...

background: previous studies have indicated that ramadan fasting has beneficial effects on cardiovascular risk factors, specially blood pressure and heart rate. in the present study, the effect of ramadan fasting on 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate has been investigated. materials and methods: this prospective observational study was conducted on two groups of individuals. six p...

INTRODUCTION This article is part of the Focus Theme of Methods of Information in Medicine on "Biosignal Interpretation: Advanced Methods for Studying Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems". BACKGROUND Hypertensive pregnancy disorders affect 6 - 8 percent of all pregnancies and can result in severe complications for both the mother and the fetus. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to imp...

INTRODUCTION A recent study at the Maroua Provincial Hospital revealed that hypertension in pregnancy was the first cause of maternal death, representing 17.5% of the 63 maternal deaths recorded between 2003 and 2005. Knowing little about the causes, this study was to identify the possible risk factors for hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. METHODS This case-control study was-done at the Ma...

Inherited or acquired thrombophilias have been largely explored as a cause of pregnancy complications. However, pathogenesis of obstetric complications, as fetal loss and pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders is still partly unexplained. Recently, a common haplotype (M2) within the annexin A5 (ANXA5) gene has been described as a risk factor in recurrent fetal losses (RFL). It has been demons...

OBJECTIVE Recent research has linked hypertensive diseases of pregnancy with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in childhood and adulthood. This study aimed to establish whether such effects are observed in infancy. METHODS This was a prospective pregnancy cohort study of 2,785 pregnancies with complete data on hypertensive diseases of pregnancy. Mothers completed a validated Australian adap...
