Pre-eclampsia

Pre-eclampsia is a broad term used to define all forms of hypertensive complications in pregnancies. There are quite a number of theories explaining pre-eclampsia. Some of such theories are abnormal blood vessel circulation and tone by abnormal physiologic changes that occur during pregnancy such as cardiovascular maladjustment to pregnancy, altered biology of the placenta, systemic inflammatory response and antioxidants. In this literature review, some pathophysiology resulting in some effects to the mother and foetus, a maker for detecting pre-eclampsia will be considered. Pre-eclampsia, if not managed, progresses to Eclampsia which is the cause of most pre term birth and foetal morbidity. It affects about 2-8% of all pregnancies. 1.0.0 INTRODUCTION Preeclampsia is one of the most common hypertensive complications…

possible. This may be done by giving you medicines to start contractions (induction of labor) or cesarean delivery. Before delivery, you can be treated for a short time with an injection of magnesium sulphate. This medicine reduces muscle contractions and blocks the communication (impulse) from nerves to the muscles, which helps prevent seizures. Medicines to lower and control blood pressure may also be used. Steroid hormones (corticosteroids) may be given to help your baby's lungs mature…

The Obstetric management of severe pre eclampsia - eclampsia at 32 to 34 weeks of gestation and beyond is always been challenging, apart from literature and standard text books which advocate individualisation of the management,certain protocols need to be discussed and be implemented, based on the assumption that only a tertiary care and multidisciplinary team can meet this challenge. The Obstetric management of severe pre eclampsia - eclampsia involves…

Dakota is a 17yo, primigravida, who is currently 32 weeks 0 days. She has been admitted for the last 1 ½ weeks due to preeclampsia without severe features but with significant proteinuria.

just slapped me in the face and made things worse. I met with a UNM academic advisor, and I would say that I do not particularly like him because he made me question myself as to why I am even going to school and he basically made me feel like I would not be able to succeed as a pre-med student. I got offered a transfer scholarship and a grant from UNM; the catch is that I have to be enrolled in 15 credit hours there and I cannot use a consortium agreement, which basically states that I am…

Hollywood challenged television with its innovative technical advances to win back its lost audience to TV. The experimentation began with the release of the promo This is Cinerama in 1952, designed to introduce the wide screen process Cinerama, which became a landmark in film history. This was an attempt to show the wonders of the new widescreen format using three separate but synchronised camera images to create an enveloping picture through an arc of 146 degrees. It made the audience felt…

After watching the movie "A Beautiful Mind" i learned a wide range on how critical thinking can take form in many quiet and sneaky ways and just how important it really is. This movie would be very helpful to a student of Critical Thinking because of those reasons. It shows the hit/effect critical reading has with a practical example and shows how it can affect us in or day to day lives and how much we can benefit from thinking critically and how much we can loss by having a "dull" mind. In the…

As a movie fanatic and today's film curator i think it's important to spread the indie spirit. The definition of Independent films comes from its rebellious relationship with the origins of american cinema itself. Indies are defined as being made outside of the studio system but the connotations of what that actually means are usually blurred. Today i will convince my audience to watch more independent films instead of commercial films. My three main points are that Indies are more personal,…

within the narrative. Early on, pre production, we did not distribute roles to each individual because we wanted everyone to share responsibilities; However, towards the end we agreed on roles based on what occurred in production. The idea behind not giving each other roles was to offer different perspectives, a new set of eyes with the desire to improve the final product. In a larger project, switching roles frequently would not work, but because we are…

As an avid book reader, my response to “book or movie,” is always book. The book has free reign to take one where the author intended for one to go. A movie has no such ability. It is constrained by social obligations and media requirements. Often, the director of said movie is unable to dig into the details and moments the author has laid before one. This is additionally accurate for those telling a true story. Many vital parts of the story line are left out because the director saw them not…
