Background: The most frequent medical comorbidity during pregnancy is hypertension, rendering an elevated menace of unfavorable outcomes for equally mother and infant. It a substantial public health concern, characterized by eclampsia, chronic preeclampsia. Objectives: study determined occurrence pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) outcomes, in the locality Pakistan. Methods: cross-sectional r...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the hypothesis that alterations in heart rate variability, peak systolic velocity variability and time-averaged velocity variability in the human umbilical artery may predict early signs of dysfunctional fetal-placental coupling in pregnancies that later develop pregnancy-induced hypertension. METHODS Doppler flow velocity recordings from the umbilical artery were per...

Every tenth pregnancy is affected by hypertension, one of the most common complications and leading causes of maternal death worldwide. Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy include pregnancy-induced hypertension and preeclampsia. The pathophysiology of the development of hypertension in pregnancy is unknown, but studies suggest an association with vitamin D status, measured as 25-hydroxyvitamin ...

A prospective study of 54 primigravid twin pregnancies in Durban showed that pregnancy-induced hypertension occurred in 37%. This was more than twice the expected rate for singleton pregnancies in this Black African population. The babies born in the group of patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension were significantly lighter and had a higher rate of fetal growth retardation than the babies...

BACKGROUND Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) is a state of extremely increased oxidative stress. Hence, research and test of role and significance of oxidative stress in hypertensive disturbance in pregnancy is very important. AIM Aims of this research were to determine a level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) as oxidative stress marker in blood of pregnant woman with preg...

The aims of Ballantyne's first book on promaternity (antenatal) care were: * The antenatal diagnosis of monsters * The treatment of monsters * The prevention of fits. The last concerns eclampsia, so care has been concerned with eclampsia from the earliest days. One of the original aims of promaternity care in 1901 was the prevention of fits and convulsions due to eclampsia, which was often asso...

The present study was designed to ascertain sequentially the pressor response to angiotensin II in young primigravid patients throughout pregnancy in order a) to define when in pregnancy resistance to the pressor effects of angiotensin II develops; b) to define the physiologic sequence of events leading to this resistance; and c) to ascertain whether sensitivity to infused angiotensin II could ...

background: infertility is common among couples of child-bearing age and ap-proximately half of known causes of primary infertility are attributable to male factor. it is still unclear whether the injurious effects of cigarette smoking on sperm characteristics and infertility are due to nicotine. therefore, the present study investigated the effects of orally administered of nicotine on sperm c...
