BACKGROUND Prior studies revealed associations of environmental lead exposure with risks of hypertension and elevated blood pressure. OBJECTIVE We examined the effect of blood lead levels on blood pressure and the incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. METHODS One thousand seventeen pregnant women were enrolled in two French munici...

The aim of our study was to determine the relationship between serum calcium levels and PIH. In our study, we searched databases, including Wangfang, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and PubMed, to find literature regarding the relationship between PIH and calcium levels. The meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3 software. A total of 8 articles were included in our stud...

OBJECTIVE Pregnancy-induced hypertension/preeclampsia (PIH) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) share a common placental origin. The pathologic classification that divides placental lesions to maternal or fetal origin was compared between these disorders. STUDY DESIGN Placentas from pregnancies that were complicated by PIH, normotensive FGR, or by both (combined) were analyzed, and lesions wer...

Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) may be a major predictor of pregnancy-associated intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). However, the relationship between PIH and long-term ICH risk is unknown.The objective of the study was to determine the association between PIH and ICH and to identify the predictive risk factors.Patients with newly diagnosed PIH were recruited from the Taiwan National Health Ins...

This study examined if complexation with metals increased the antiproliferative activities of chelators of the pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone (PIH) class. Addition of iron(III) to some PIH analogs markedly depressed their activities, whereas it had little effect on others. The gallium(III) complex of PIH, but not its copper(II) complex, was more efficient than the apochelator at inhibiting [...

Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is a common medical complication of pregnancy with a high incidence. The study comprised of 30 normal and 30 PIH cases in their third trimester of pregnancy and the following estimations were done: Serum Malondialdehyde level (MDA), Vitamin E, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and LDL-C. The PIH cases had significant rise in...

In the present study, we studied the influence of serum high-molecular weight adiponectin (HMWA) levels in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) on the occurrence of eclampsia in secondary pregnancy and its related mechanisms. In total, 130 patients who were diagnosed with PIH for the first time were selected for this study; the median interval of the secondary pregnancy was 28.5 m...

Background: The pregnancy induced hypertensive (PIH) mothers are at greater risk for intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and intrauterine death of foetus (IUD). But currently there are no suitable early indicators of PIH mothers at risk of IUGR and IUD. Aims/objectives: To assess the various routinely measured hematological parameters in assessment of PIH mothers at risk of IUGR and IUD. Met...

(1.2) PIH : C(Sn−1) −→ C(B) ∩ C∞(Bn), such that u = PIH f solves (1.2A) ∆Hu = 0 on B, u ∣∣ Sn−1 = f. Here, ∆H is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on B, with metric tensor (1.1). We will establish further regularity on u = PIH f when f has some further smoothness on Sn−1, and estimate du(x), in the hyperbolic metric, as x → ∂B. If n = 2, then ∆Hu = 0 if and only if ∆u = 0, where ∆ = ∂ 1 +∂ 2 2 is t...

Pre-eclampsia or pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) affects 6-8% of all pregnancies. Although the underlying mechanism of PIH is still unknown, it is widely believed that the placenta plays an important role. It was thought that an ischemic placenta due to poor perfusion can precipitate the signs and symptoms of PIH. This study aims to investigate the possible role of Type 1(AT1) and Type 2 (...
