What Are the Complications of Sickle Cell Trait?
Discussion
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited blood disorders where there are abnormal hemoglobin molecules and the red blood cells take on a characteristic sickled shape instead of a rounded shape. Sickled hemoglobin provides an evolutionary advantage of giving the individual increased protection against severe and cerebral malaria. The sickled shape doesn’t move through the vascular system as well and therefore is more likely to aggregate in small vessels causing an increased risk of vaso-occlusive disease, acute chest syndrome, splenic sequestration, and priapism. There is also an increased risk of ...

Cardiovascular and renal health: Preeclampsia as a risk marker
CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of preventive multidisciplinary targeted strategies can help slow down CVD and CKD's natural history in women at risk through lifestyle modifications and adequate blood pressure control. Therefore, we propose a series of recommendations to guide the prediction and prevention of CVD and CKD throughout life of women with a history of PE.PMID:37635012 | DOI:10.1016/j.nefroe.2022.04.009

Rates of Preeclampsia and Post-preeclamptic Cardiovascular Disease Among US Military Servicewomen: A Retrospective Case-cohort Study
CONCLUSION: In this study, we report overall higher incidence of PE in military women than what is published for civilian women in all races and across all services. Importantly, we do not find significantly higher numbers of PE and post-PE CVD for African American, compared to White women in the military. Our study is not designed to address differences between military and civilian PE epidemiology, but these results deserve further exploration. This study shines light on a health risk unique to women, which we found to be more prevalent in the US Military than published civilian population. Further study to determine the...

What Prohibition Can Teach Us About Drug and Alcohol Policy Today
It’s widely understood today that drinking while pregnant is harmful for the fetus. But the link between alcohol and the health of infants wasn’t as well known in the 1930s, when prohibition was repealed in the U.S. and all sorts of people, pregnant women included, began drinking again.Because prohibition was lifted on a piecemeal basis across the U.S., some counties continued to prohibit alcohol, or stay “dry,” while their neighboring counties were “wet.” Those conditions created what economists call a natural experiment, and made it possible to track the health impacts of maternal drin...

Pregnancy-Associated Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Hospitalizations in the United States
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2023 Jul 7. doi: 10.1152/ajpheart.00262.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTakotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is most common in postmenopausal women aged ≥ 50 years but also affects pregnant individuals. However, there are no national estimates on the prevalence, timing of occurrence, correlates, and outcomes of Pregnancy-associated TCM. Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS: 2016-2020), we describe rates of pregnancy-associated TCM hospitalizations among 13 - 49 years old pregnant individuals in the United States by selected demographic, behavioral, hospital, and clinical characteristi...
