Journal ArticleDOI
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and long-term risk of hypertension: what do Ontario prenatal care providers know, and what do they communicate?
TL;DR: Weaknesses in knowledge base and communication amongst Ontario maternity care providers suggest that the identification and follow-up of women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is not occurring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary reference intervals for cystatin C and beta-trace protein in preterm and term neonates.
TL;DR: The data provides reference intervals for the levels of creatinine, CysC, and BTP in neonates on days 1 and 3 after birth and demonstrates that Cys cysC and B TP reflect neonatal renal function, whereasCreatinine reflects maternal renal function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neonatal mortality and morbidity in vertex–vertex second twins according to mode of delivery and birth weight
TL;DR: The risks of neonatal mortality and morbidity are increased in vertex–vertex second twins with birth weight ⩾2500 g whose co-twins delivered vaginally compared with second twins delivered by cesarean section after cESarean delivery of first twin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variation in the small heterodimer partner gene and young-onset type 2 diabetes, obesity, and birth weight in U.K. subjects.
Simon M.S. Mitchell,Michael N. Weedon,Katharine R. Owen,Beverley M. Shields,Beverley Wilkins-Wall,Mark Walker,Mark I. McCarthy,Timothy M. Frayling,Andrew T. Hattersley +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that genetic variation in SHP is unlikely to be common in the predisposition to diabetes, obesity, or increased birth weight in U.K. Caucasians.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in the ADIPOQ gene promoter is associated with carotid intima media thickness independent of plasma adiponectin levels in healthy subjects
Sheila K Patel,Allan Flyvbjerg,Michaela Kozakova,Jan Frystyk,Ibrahim Ibrahim,John R. Petrie,Peter Avery,Ele Ferrannini,Mark Walker +8 more
TL;DR: Variation within the ADIPOQ gene promoter is directly associated with carotid IMT in healthy subjects and is independent of circulating adiponectin levels.
