Abstract:

DNA methylation is the most recognizable epigenetic mechanism. In general, DNA hypomethylation is associated with increased gene expression whereas DNA hypermethylation is associated with decreased gene expression. To date, little is known about the role of DNA methylation in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. In this study, we examined the differences in DNA methylation in omental arteries of normal pregnant and preeclamptic women using the high throughput Illumina HumanMethylation27 BeadChip assay. We found 1,685 genes with a significant difference in DNA methylation at a false discovery r

Abstract:

Objective To determine whether the thymus is smaller in the fetuses of preeclamptic mothers than in those of normal controls. Methods This was a cross-sectional, prospective, comparative study of sonographically-determined fetal thymus measurements in 39 pregnancies with preeclampsia and 70 healthy pregnancies. Results Both the diameter and the perimeter of the fetal thymus were significantly smaller in pregnancies with preeclampsia than in healthy controls. The means of the thymus diameter were 28.6 ± 5.9 and 32.9 ± 4.5 mm and of the thymus perimeters 80.9 ± 16.5 and 93.1 ± 16.6 mm for preec

Abstract:

Preeclampsia and eclampsia are among the most common causes of maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity worldwide. There are no reliable means to predict eclampsia or cerebral edema in women with preeclampsia and knowledge of the brain involvement in preeclampsia is still limited. S100B and neuron specific enolase (NSE) are two cerebral biomarkers of glial- and neuronal origin respectively. They are used as predictors for neurological outcome after traumatic brain injuries and cardiac arrest but have not yet been investigated in preeclampsia.

Abstract:

Background: Women are more likely to develop age-related cognitive impairment compared with men of the same age. Pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia (PE), and menopause may contribute to an elevated risk of cognitive decline with aging in women potentially through an adverse impact on vascular function. PE is associated with a heightened risk of hypertension and large elastic artery stiffness (i.e., aortic and carotid arteries) for several years postpartum. Persistent large artery stiffness may be further amplified in women with a history of PE during the menopause transition, which

Abstract:

Pre-eclampsia is a multi-organ system disorder that occurs after the 20th week of gestation in pregnancy and is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria with or with out oedema. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for the woman and her child. Based on surveillance data, pre-eclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in Namibia. However, there is no depth study done in Namibia that looks at the extent of confirmed pre-eclampia and its contribution to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. There is also no standard management protocol currently recommen

Background: Amongst the few effective preventive strategies for preeclampsia (PE), a leading cause for maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, a recent area of study involves the association between vitamin D status and PE.

Abstract:

Women who experience hypertensive pregnancy disorders (HPDs) during pregnancy, mainly pre-eclampsia (PE), are four times more likely to develop hypertension after pregnancy and therefore have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in the future. Pregnancy involves a high level of cardiovascular stress and the development of some complications. This has the potential to increase a woman’s susceptibility to vascular or metabolic disease risk in the future. In this research, pre-eclampsia (PE) and pregnancyinduced hypertension (PIH) were representatives of HPDs and were ana

Hypertensive disease in pregnancy, including preeclampsia, is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality in the United States. Preeclampsia, characterized by new onset hypertension and proteinuria, can cause seizures, cerebral hemorrhage, pulmonary edema, placental abruption, premature birth, and death. The only definitive treatment for preeclampsia is delivery of the fetus. However, studies have shown that daily low dose aspirin (LDA) can reduce the risk of preeclampsia without increasing negative outcomes, such as bleeding. Despite this evidence, LDA has yet to be implemented rou

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy affect approximately 8% of pregnancies, and can lead to serious complications for both mother and child. While Latinas are at two-fold increased risk of preeclampsia relative to non-Latina white women, little research on hypertension in pregnancy has been conducted in this population. Furthermore, there are few modifiable risk factors for hypertensive pregnancy. Therefore, we examined associations between psychosocial stress, physical activity, and pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy using data from the Latin

This study focuses on women with both pre-eclampsia and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy-specific syndrome that occurs after 20 weeks gestation. Thrombocytopenia is the most common haematological abnormality in pre-eclampsia. Further, studies suggest that the immunological mechanism plays some role in the aetiology of pre-eclampsia. The immunological hallmark of HIV infection is a progressive decline in the number of CD4 T lymphocytes and significant haematological abnormalities are also common in HIV-infected individuals i.e. anaemia, thrombocytopenia and leuko

Background: Leptin is a new adipose-derived hormone discovered in 1994. It is vital in energy balance and weight regulation in humans. During pregnancy the placenta is an extra source of leptin.

Leptin is being examined in pathological states that may have origin in adipose tissue and the placenta such as pre-eclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction and obesity.
