Teratogenicity

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Gonadal and Placental Hormones

Gonadal and Placental Hormones

The gonads, namely the testes in males and the ovaries in females, are pivotal in producing gonadal hormones that orchestrate the intricate processes of sexual development and reproduction.
In males, testosterone is the primary gonadal androgen. It plays a central role in the maturation of male reproductive organs — the penis and testes. Additionally, testosterone is instrumental in the development of secondary sexual characteristics — a deep voice as well as facial and pubic hair growth — and...

Mitral Valve Prolapse III: Nursing Management

The nursing management of Mitral Valve Prolapse, or MVP, centers around patient education, symptom monitoring, and lifestyle modifications.Patient Education on MVP Diagnosis and Heredity: Nurses should provide comprehensive education about MVP, a condition where the mitral valve does not close appropriately during heartbeats. This education often includes the condition's pathophysiology, symptoms, and potential complications, like arrhythmias or mitral regurgitation. Though not fully...

Summary

Takayashu arteritis in pregnancy can lead to complications like pre-eclampsia and fetal growth issues. This case highlights careful management during childbirth for affected mothers and infants.

Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Medicine
Rheumatology
Obstetrics

Background:

Takayashu arteritis is a large vessel vasculitis impacting the aorta and its branches.
The condition predominantly affects women during their childbearing years.
Pregnancy in women with Takayashu arteritis requires careful monitoring due to potential complications.

Observation:

A 33-year-old primigravida with a three-year history of Takayashu arteritis presented at 37 weeks gestation.
The patient was admitted with pre-eclampsia and left ventricular insufficiency.
An elective cesarean section was performed, resulting in the delivery of a hypotrophic infant.

Findings:

Pregnancy associated with Takayashu arteritis can result in elevated maternal blood pressure.
