Is salivary uric acid, a putative biomarker of pre-eclampsia, of maternal, placental, or fetal origin?
CONCLUSIONS: Salivary and maternal blood UA levels were increased in the feto-placental stress group with salivary levels increasing more than blood levels compared with the maternal stress and control groups, whilst UA in amniotic fluid were not different between the groups, suggesting a placental origin and potential use of sUA as a biomarker of placental dysfunction, including FGR and severe PE.PMID:38330864 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.02.003 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Sleep health predicted glucose metabolism among pregnant women: A prospective cohort study
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which refers to abnormal glucose metabolism with onset or first recognition during pregnancy, is common [1]. The pooled prevalence of GDM was 14.7 % worldwide [2]. GDM is related to short-term and long-term complications of the mother and fetus, including cesarean section, preterm delivery, pre-eclampsia, fetal death, born large for gestational age, infant obesity, and type 2 diabetes [3]. An estimated 21.3 million live births (16.2 %) we re affected by pregnancy-related hyperglycemia, including GDM [4]. (Source: Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)

Bioactive metabolites of OMEGA-6 and OMEGA-3 fatty acids are associated with inflammatory cytokine concentrations in maternal and infant plasma at the time of delivery
Inflammation is necessary for a healthy pregnancy. However, unregulated or excessive inflammation during pregnancy is associated with severe maternal and infant morbidities, such as pre-eclampsia, abnormal infant neurodevelopment, or preterm birth. Inflammation is regulated in part by the bioactive metabolites of omega-6 (n-6) and omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids (FAs). N-6 FAs have been shown to promote pro-inflammatory cytokine environments in adults, while n-3 FAs have been shown to contribute to the resolution of inflammation; however, how these metabolites affect maternal and infant inflammation is still uncertain.

Headaches Attributed to Disorders of Homeostasis
Headaches attributed to disorders of homeostasis include those different headache types associated with metabolic and systemic diseases. These are headache disorders occurring in temporal relation to a disorder of homeostasis including hypoxia, high altitude, airplane travel, diving, sleep apnea, dialysis, autonomic dysreflexia, hypothyroidism, fasting, cardiac cephalalgia, hypertension and other hypertensive disorders like pheochromocytoma, hypertensive crisis, and encephalopathy, as well as preeclampsia or eclampsia. The proposed mechanism behind the causation of these headache subtypes including diagnostic criteria, eva...

Is salivary uric acid, a putative biomarker of pre-eclampsia, of maternal, placental, or fetal origin?
Pre-eclampsia (PE), and fetal growth restriction (FGR), are severe complications of pregnancy, and leading causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality [1]. Pre-eclampsia is defined as de novo onset of hypertension after 20 gestational weeks combined with either proteinuria, organ dysfunction, or FGR [2], while FGR, defined as a fetus not meeting its genetic growth potential, is an ultrasound-based diagnosis that also can arise without hypertension [3]. Pre-eclampsia is considered to be a heterogeneous disorder with different subtypes [4], variable clinical presentation, and a variable course of evolution, includin...

Calcium supplementation for the prevention of pre-eclampsia: Challenging the evidence from meta-analyses
CONCLUSIONS: In assessment of the effect of calcium supplementation on pre-eclampsia risk, the naive focus on the mean of the random-effects meta-analysis in the presence of substantial heterogeneity is highly misleading.PMID:38302677 | DOI:10.1111/1471-0528.17769 (Source: BJOG : An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology)

The impact of maternal cardiac remodelling on pregnancy outcome in pre-eclampsia
Introductions and aims of study: Preeclampsia, a multisystem disorder impacts 3-5% of all pregnancies. It effects maternal cardiovascular system to varying degrees of severity. We aimed at comparing the alteration in cardiovascular functions and pregnancy outcome between normal pregnant women to those complicated by pre-eclampsia.

Severe maternal morbidity – The importance of obstetric surveillance systems
Severe acute maternal morbidity SAMM is characterised by a condition of the woman during pregnancy, labour or within 42 days after the termination of the pregnancy, when she sustained critical, life-threatening complications but survived. The criteria of SAMM differ, usually there are obstetric emergencies or their combinations postpartum haemorrhage, eclampsia, HELLP syndrome, cardiac arrest, sepsis or amniotic fluid embolism. Most of them are rare situations. The Methodology of data acquisition is crucial to get the most relevant information. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)
