Development of maternal and neonatal composite outcomes for trials evaluating management of late-onset pre-eclampsia.
CONCLUSION: The composite outcomes developed will enable clinical trials to provide robust estimates on the effectiveness of the interventions in women with mild to moderate late onset pre-eclampsia to inform clinical practice. Caution is needed in the interpretation of composite outcomes due to variation in the importance of individual components. PMID: 24303960 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

A history of preeclampsia is associated with a risk for coronary artery calcification 3 decades later
A history of preeclampsia is an independent risk factor for cardiac events and stroke. Changes in vasculature structure that contribute to these associations are not well understood.

Cardiovascular risk factors and diseases in women undergoing hysterectomy with ovarian conservation
Conclusions: Hysterectomy with ovarian conservation is associated with cardiovascular risk factors, particularly obesity. Obesity may contribute to underlying gynecologic conditions leading to hysterectomy; however, surgical selection may also play a role.

Evaluation of Echocardiographic Systolic Parameters in Pre-Eclamptics and Normotensives Women

Duration of ovarian hormone exposure and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in Korean women: the Korean Heart Study
Objective: Although reproductive and hormonal factors, such as menarche and menopause, have been reported as independent risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), few studies have examined these factors in East Asian populations. In the Korean Heart Study, ASCVD risk related to duration of ovarian hormone exposure was examined in a cohort of 66,104 Korean women. Methods: Study members were recruited from participants of routine health examinations at health promotion centers across South Korea in 1996-2004. Ovarian hormone exposure was defined as duration between menarche and menopause. Incidence rat...

Human neural progenitor cells in central nervous system lesions
Publication date: Available online 17 December 2015 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology Author(s): Elisabet Åkesson, Erik Sundström Various immature cells can be isolated from human embryonic and fetal central nervous system (CNS) residual tissue, and potentially be used for cell therapy in a number of neurological diseases and CNS insults. The obvious reason to transplant neural stem and progenitor cells is to replace lost cells, particularly in the CNS with very limited endogenous regenerative capacity. However, while dopamine released from transplanted cells can substi...

Treatment Patterns and Short-Term Outcomes in Ischemic Stroke in Pregnancy or Postpartum
Stroke is a rare but devastating event during pregnancy, occurring in 34/100,000 deliveries, and obstetricians are often the first providers to be contacted by symptomatic patients. At least half of pregnancy-related strokes are likely to be of the ischemic stroke subtype. Most pregnant or newly postpartum women with ischemic stroke do not receive acute stroke reperfusion therapy although this is the recommended treatment for adults. Little is known about these therapies in pregnant or postpartum women as pregnancy has been an exclusion criteria for all reperfusion trials.

Treatment patterns and short-term outcomes in ischemic stroke in pregnancy or postpartum period
Stroke, which is a rare but devastating event during pregnancy, occurs in 34 of every 100,000 deliveries; obstetricians are often the first providers to be contacted by symptomatic patients. At least one-half of pregnancy-related strokes are likely to be of the ischemic stroke subtype. Most pregnant or newly postpartum women with ischemic stroke do not receive acute stroke reperfusion therapy, although this is the recommended treatment for adults. Little is known about these therapies in pregnant or postpartum women because pregnancy has been an exclusion criterion for all reperfusion trials.

Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndrome in Fallopian Tube Cancer.
We report on a rare case of paraneoplastic syndrome (PS) that was discovered on completion of diagnostic work-up to be an undifferentiated fallopian tube carcinoma. A 49-year-old Caucasian woman was admitted to neurology with vertigo, gait ataxia and dysarthria, transient ischaemic attack (TIA) and stroke were quickly excluded. Indicative for the further diagnosis of a paraneoplastic syndrome was the identification of onconeuronal antibodies the detection of which can be associated with certain tumour entities. The strongly positive anti-Yo antibody that is formed above all by breast and lung cancers as well as ovarian can...

Contraception et obésité
Publication date: Available online 31 October 2015 Source:Gynécologie Obstétrique & Fertilité Author(s): M. Lobert, M. Pigeyre, H. Gronier, S. Catteau-Jonard, G. Robin La prévalence de l’obésité augmente massivement depuis plusieurs dizaines d’années dans les pays industrialisés. Les femmes obèses ont une activité sexuelle, non différente des femmes de poids normal, et bénéficieraient d’une couverture contraceptive moindre et d’un risque de grossesse non désirée plus élevé. En outre, l’obésité constitue un facteur de risque important d’accident thromboembolique veineux et arté...

Contraception and obesity.
Abstract The prevalence of obesity is increasing massively over several decades in industrialized countries. Obese women are sexually active but they use fewer contraceptive methods and are at high risk of unintended pregnancy. In addition, obesity is an important risk factor for venous thromboembolism events and arterial thrombosis (myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke). All of these data are to be considered in choosing a contraceptive method for obese women. Except depot medroxyprogesterone acetate injection, the progestin-only contraceptives (progestin only pills and etonogestrel subdermal implant) and th...
