First-trimester screening for early and late preeclampsia using maternal characteristics, biomarkers, and estimated placental volume

TL;DR: In this study the utility of estimated placental volume and mean arterial pressure was limited but larger studies are needed to ultimately determine the effectiveness of these markers.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Inflammation in the Pathogenesis of Preeclampsia

TL;DR: The current understanding of the mechanisms which underlie the development of preeclampsia are discussed, which can largely contribute to new, targeted anti-inflammatory therapies that may improve perinatal outcomes in PE patients.

Prevention of preeclampsia with aspirin

TL;DR: The Aspirin for Evidence-Based Preeclampsia Prevention trial as discussed by the authors showed that aspirin at a daily dosage of 150 mg, initiated before 16 weeks of gestational age, and given at night to a high-risk population, identified by a combined first trimester screening test, reduced the incidence of preterm preeclampia by 62%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Imbalances in circulating angiogenic factors in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia and related disorders

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used angiogenic biomarkers to diagnose preeclampsia and related disorders of placentation, such as intrauterine growth restriction and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, and fetal hydrops.

WHO analysis of causes of maternal death: a systematic review

TL;DR: Haemorrhage and hypertensive disorders are major contributors to maternal deaths in developing countries and these data should inform evidence-based reproductive health-care policies and programmes at regional and national levels.

Circulating Angiogenic Factors and the Risk of Preeclampsia

TL;DR: Alterations in the levels of sFlt-1 and free PlGF were greater in women with an earlier onset of preeclampsia and in women in whom preeClampsia was associated with a small-for-gestational-age infant.

Global burden of disease and injury and economic cost attributable to alcohol use and alcohol-use disorders.

TL;DR: The burden of mortality and disease attributable to alcohol, both globally and for ten large countries, is quantified and concludes that alcohol consumption is one of the major avoidable risk factors, and actions to reduce burden and costs associated with alcohol should be urgently increased.
