TL;DR: Elevated maternal triglyceride levels measured during early pregnancy are associated with pregnancy complications and adverse pregnancy outcomes, and future lifestyle programs in women of reproductive age with a focus on lowering triglycerides may help to prevent hypertensive complications during pregnancy and adverse birth outcomes.

TL;DR: When blood pressure is measured in the first or second trimester of pregnancy, the mean arterial pressure is a better predictor for pre-eclampsia than systolicBlood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, or an increase of blood pressure.

TL;DR: Orthogonal polarization spectral (OPS) imaging is a new clinical technique for observation of the microcirculation of organ surfaces as mentioned in this paper, which can be used on human internal organs.

TL;DR: Investigating the association of pre‐eclampsia and gestational hypertension with psychosocial stress in the first half of pregnancy with a focus on women with high‐risk pregnancies finds no clear link between the two.

TL;DR: Physical activity in leisure time early in pregnancy does not reduce the incidence of preeclampsia or gestational hypertension in an unselected population of nulliparous women.
