Hypertension III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Hypertension is asymptomatic and also referred to as the "silent killer" until it progresses to a severe stage or causes target organ disease. Patients may experience symptoms stemming from the strain on blood vessels and tissues in various organs or the heart's increased workload.Physical exams might show no abnormalities other than high blood pressure. Signs of vascular damage, when present, correspond to the organs supplied by the affected vessels, leading to target organ damage. For...

Eclampsia poses a significant health risk, with poor prognostic factors including high diastolic blood pressure and organ damage. Improving antenatal care is crucial for reducing maternal morbidity and mortality.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal Health
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Eclampsia remains a critical obstetric complication, significantly contributing to maternal morbidity and mortality.
  • Identifying prognostic factors is essential for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively identify prognostic factors for eclampsia.
  • To establish predictors of morbidity and mortality in eclamptic patients.

Main Methods:

  • A 4-year prospective review of 342 eclampsia cases.
  • Comparison of demographic, clinical, biological, and radiological data between survivors and deceased patients.
  • Statistical analysis including quantitative and qualitative tests.

Disruption of the Mouse Blood-Brain Barrier by Small Extracellular Vesicles from Hypoxic Human Placentas

Published on: January 26, 2024

Main Results:

  • Eclampsia incidence was 0.91% in the study area.
  • Poor prognostic indicators included diastolic blood pressure ≥ 115 mm Hg, Glasgow Coma Scale ≤ 8, thrombocytopenia, liver cytolysis, acute renal failure, cerebral edema/hemorrhage, and pulmonary edema.
  • Maternal mortality rate was 6.7%, with 82% of patients lacking antenatal care.

Conclusions:

  • Eclampsia presents a substantial public health challenge.
  • Enhanced antenatal follow-up, increased maternal awareness, and improved access to medical care are vital for mitigating eclampsia's impact.
