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...

Prophylactic dose fondaparinux for 6 weeks in superficial thrombophlebitis of the legs reduces the risk for symptomatic thromboembolic complications
Commentary on: Di Nisio M, Wichers IM, Middeldorp S. Treatment for superficial thrombophlebitis of the leg. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2012;3:CD004982. Context Superficial thrombophlebitis (ST), an inflammatory-thrombotic disorder in a superficial vein, is relatively common and estimated to occur in 1 per 1000 persons.1 The classic symptoms include pain, oedema, erythema and occasionally a palpable cord in the area of the thrombosed vein. Risk factors for ST include surgery, pregnancy and puerperium, female hormones, malignancy, infection, varicose veins, autoimmune disorders and thrombophilia.2 ST is a risk factor for dee...

Do parental heights influence pregnancy length?: a population-based prospective study, HUNT 2
The objective of this study was to examine the association of maternal and paternal height with pregnancy length, and with the risk of pre- and post-term birth. In addition we aimed to study whether cardiovascular risk factors could explain possible associations. Methods: Parents who participated in the Nord-Tr[latin small letter o with stroke]ndelag Health Study (HUNT 2; 1995--1997) were linked to offspring data from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway (1997--2005).The main analyses included 3497 women who had delivered 5010 children, and 2005 men who had fathered 2798 pregnancies. All births took place after parental pa...

Blood Pressure Measured in the Clinic and at Home During Pregnancy Among Nulliparous and Multiparous Women: The BOSHI Study.
CONCLUSIONS HBP levels during pregnancy were shown not to differ between nulliparous and multiparous women, while CBP levels during pregnancy were higher among nulliparous than among multiparous women. PMID: 23382338 [PubMed - in process]

Risk of cardiovascular disease after pre‐eclampsia and the effect of lifestyle interventions: a literature‐based study
ConclusionsCardiovascular risk factors do not fully explain the risk of cardiovascular disease after pre‐eclampsia. The gap between estimated and observed odds ratios may be explained by an additive risk of cardiovascular disease by pre‐eclampsia. Furthermore, lifestyle interventions after pre‐eclampsia seem to be effective in decreasing cardiovascular risk. Future research is needed to overcome the numerous assumptions we had to make in our calculations.

Disproportionate pregnancy-induced myocardial hypertrophy in women with essential hypertension.
CONCLUSIONS: Hypertension and pregnancy have a synergistic effect on ventricular remodeling, which elevates a woman's risk of myocardial hypertrophy. PMID: 23475699 [PubMed - in process]

Prenatal cerebrovascular accidents diagnosed in the early infant stage: a series of 10 patients.
CONCLUSIONS. When CVA are not detected in the prenatal period, it is important in primary care to look for and detect the warning signs of the psychomotor development of the infant at an early stage in order to begin a study of the case and to undertake rehabilitation as early as possible.

Why acupuncture is giving sceptics the needle
Acupuncture has been prescribed by half of Britain's doctors, but after 3,000 clinical trials its efficacy remains unproven. So is the NHS making a grave error in supporting this ancient treatment?• Are vitamin pills a sham? Q&A with Dr. Paul OffitYou can't get crystal healing on the NHS. The Department of Health doesn't fund faith healing. And most doctors believe magnets are best stuck on fridges, not patients. But ask for a treatment in which an expert examines your tongue, smells your skin and tries to unblock the flow of life force running through your body with needles and the NHS will be happy to oblige.The govern...

Different effects of progesterone and estradiol on chimeric and wild type aldosterone synthase in vitro
Conclusions: Our results show an inhibitory action of progesterone in the aldosterone synthesis by chimeric or wild type aldosterone synthase enzymes. This is a novel regulatory mechanism of progesterone action, which could be involved in protecting pregnant women with FH-1 against hypertension. In vitro, both enzymes showed comparable kinetic parameters, but ASWT was more strongly inhibited than ASCE. This study implicates a new role for progesterone in the regulation of aldosterone levels that could contribute, along with other factors, to the maintenance of an adequate aldosterone-progesterone balance in pregnancy.

European Society of Hypertension Position Paper on Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is being used increasingly in both clinical practice and hypertension research. Although there are many guidelines that emphasize the indications for ABPM, there is no comprehensive guideline dealing with all aspects of the technique. It was agreed at a consensus meeting on ABPM in Milan in 2011 that the 34 attendees should prepare a comprehensive position paper on the scientific evidence for ABPM. This position paper considers the historical background, the advantages and limitations of ABPM, the threshold levels for practice, and the cost–effectiveness of the technique. It ex...

Teen drinking linked to raised breast cancer risk
Conclusion Alcohol consumption is already recognised as a risk factor for breast cancer. And this large, well-conducted study seems to confirm that young women between their first period and first pregnancy are particularly susceptible.  One limitation of the study is that the women were asked to recall their drinking habits when they were far younger, which could mean the results are less reliable. Also, other factors called confounders might have affected women’s risk of breast cancer, although researchers did adjust their findings for a range of other risk factors. As the authors point out, it is crucial that youn...
