Background: Severe postpartum anemia after cesarean is strongly associated with predelivery and Hb levels in maternal. The adverse effects of impact health economic development. WHO estimates that 12.8% maternal deaths Asia can be attributed to anemia.Objective: This study aims identify the effect booklet on perception, participation, hemoglobin level mothers management anemia.Method: quasi-exp...

BACKGROUND Health indicators are poor and human rights violations are widespread in eastern Burma. Reproductive and maternal health indicators have not been measured in this setting but are necessary as part of an evaluation of a multi-ethnic pilot project exploring strategies to increase access to essential maternal health interventions. The goal of this study is to estimate coverage of matern...

AIM Lipid profile and glycosylated hemoglobin level changes in gestational diabetes. The extent to which this alteration takes place is still not clearly documented. MATERIALS AND METHODS To add a clear answer to this question, lipid profile parameters, and glycosylated hemoglobin status were determined in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus and compared to healthy pregnant women (con...

Background: Iron deficiency anemia is a major nutritional problem throughout the world. The incidence of anemia is especially high during pregnancy and lactation due to an increase in the need for iron. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of anemia in the first and second trimester of pregnancy and determine of demographic and laboratory factors that can effect on prevalence of anemi...

The molecular mechanisms of pre-eclampsia are being increasingly clarified in animals and humans. With the uncovering of these mechanisms, preventive therapy strategies using chronic infusion of adrenomedullin, vascular endothelial growth factor-121 (VEGF-121), losartan, and sildenafil have been proposed to block narrow spiral artery formation in the placenta by suppressing related possible fac...

OBJECTIVE Hemorrhage still continues to be reported as one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity. Intraoperative estimation of the blood loss seems to be complex and misleading as it is impaired by the amount of amniotic fluid and blood from the placenta. The present study was aimed to investigate the safety of intraoperative deciding on an uneventful cesarean section in a l...

Preeclampsia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality during pregnancy. To date, the pathogenesis of the disease is not fully understood. Recent studies show that preeclampsia is associated with overexpression of the hemoglobin genes alpha2 and gamma and accumulation of the protein in the vascular lumen of the placenta. Hypothesizing that cell-free hemoglobin leaks from the placenta into the...

Isoelectric focusing (IEF) of hemoglobin was compared to the classical chromatography of labeled globin chains for 22 antenatal diagnoses of hemoglobinopathies: 1 1 for /9 thalassemia. and 1 1 for sickle cell disease. In all cases. the two methods gave identical results. The diagnosis was confirmed after birth or abortion. Three fetuses homozygous for /1 thalassemia and one homozygous for sickl...

OBJECTIVES We reviewed 1600 water births at a single institution over an 8-year period. METHODS We compared 737 primiparae deliveries in water with 407 primiparae deliveries in bed, and 142 primiparae on the delivery stool. We also evaluated the duration of labor, perineal trauma, arterial cord blood pH, postpartum maternal hemoglobin levels, and rates of neonatal infection. In 250 water deli...

The relation between indices of neonatal iron status and individual differences in neonatal temperament were investigated in a sample of 148 low-income Peruvian women and their newborn infants. Using cord blood, at birth we obtained measures of neonatal ferritin, serum iron, and hemoglobin. While neonates were still in the hospital, their behavior during a structured anthropometry examination w...
