The Impact of Sex on Alloimmunity
TL;DR: Mechanisms of innate and adaptive alloimmunity that are specific to males and females in the context of underlying genetic and hormonal factors likely contribute to the observed disparities in graft survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in solute and water handling in the human kidney: Modeling and functional implications.
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of renal transporters along the nephron is shown to be different between men and women, as recently shown in rodents, and the authors hypothesize that the larger abundance of a renal Na+ transport in the proximal tubules in females may also better prepare them for the fluid retention adaptations required during pregnancy and lactation.

Drug therapy during pregnancy: implications for dental practice
Aviv Ouanounou,Daniel A. Haas +1 more
TL;DR: Specific emphasis will be given to the drugs commonly given by dentists, namely, local anaesthetics, analgesics, antibiotics and sedatives, as well as the potential teratogenic effects of certain drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of free and total 25-hydroxyvitamin D in normal human pregnancy.
TL;DR: It is revealed that free 25( OH)D is a more precise determinant of the vitamin D status during normal human pregnancy than total 25(OH)D.

TL;DR: The cohort-specific dietary determinants probably reflect not only dietary habits but iodine-fortification policies; hence, public-health interventions to improve iodine intake in pregnancy need to be country-specific.

Acog practice bulletin
TL;DR: Much of the review will, of necessity, focus on general principles of critical care, extrapolating where possible to obstetric critical care.

Temporal relationships between hormonal and hemodynamic changes in early human pregnancy.
Arlene B. Chapman,William T. Abraham,Stacy Zamudio,Carolyn T. Coffin,Aicha Merouani,David A. Young,Ann M. Johnson,Fritz Osorio,Carol A. Goldberg,Lorna G. Moore,Thomas Dahms,Robert W. Schrier +11 more
TL;DR: Peripheral vasodilation occurs early in pregnancy prior to full placentation in association with renal vasodilated and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, suggesting that ANP increases in response to changes in intravasular volume.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renal hemodynamics and tubular function in normal human pregnancy
J. M. Davison,William Dunlop +1 more
TL;DR: This paper attempts to describe the changes that occur during human pregnancy in renal hemodynamics and in certain aspects of tubular function, particularly the handling of uric acid and glucose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serial changes in renal haemodynamics during normal human pregnancy
TL;DR: Effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and GFR/ERPF was significantly reduced during early pregnancy but rose to a value equivalent to the non‐pregnant during the third trimester.
