Heart rate variability and nighttime respiratory rates were determined. Results: Maternal heart rate variability declined during pregnancy. Virtually all indexes were significantly decreased with respect to the nonpregnant state in early pregnancy, and respiratory rate was increased. Changes in heart rate,...
It has been shown by previous studies that the mean fetal heart rate (FHR) decreases from the 11th to the 30th week, afterwards the values remain more stable. In the present study we evaluated the FHR pattern throughout the last stages of pregnancy and particularly we estimated the interindivi...
Puerperium is the period following child birth during which the body and the organs involved in pregnancy and child birth, revert back to approximately the pre-pregnant state both anatomically and physiologically. It starts with the expelling of placenta and lasts 6 weeks. It can be divided into...
In this regard, the effect of N-acetyl-cysteine on oxidative stress in preeclamptic pregnant women has been evaluated. N-acetyl-cysteine is a by-product of glutathione and it has a role on glutathione maintenance and metabolism. The results indicated that supplementation with N-acetyl-cysteine ...
SCREENING AND LOCALIZATION OF SILENT PERICARDIAL EFFUSION IN HEALTHY PREGNANT WOMEN During normal pregnancy, the functional load on the heart and circulation are monitored, but the effect of pregnancy on the pericardium has not received the deserved attention. The aim of this study was to assess per...

Unlike other species in the nature, the human offspring and the birthing mother are protected institutionally by the whole society. This protection has to be in line with the natural rules and laws as much as possible in order to preserve natural evoluti

Due to the hormonal changes, many bodily functions change during pregnancy. As a rule, blood pressure drops slightly, especially at the beginning of pregnancy, and the heart rate is increased. While low blood pressure does not normally pose any risks for the expectant mother and the child, too...
