The main objective of this study was to investigate the apolipoprotein (apo) E genotypes in Portuguese populations from mainland (Lisbon city) and from San Miguel Island, Azores' Archipelago (Ponta Delgada city) and to look for differences between these particular sites in apparently healthy ...
Materials and methods: Pregnant women who have been planned induction of labour with 50 mcg sublingual misoprostol due to intrauterine growth restriction were assigned into two groups. 46 women in the first group were assessed with fetal heart rate monitoring alone during labour and a cesarean ...
“Pregnancy is one of the most physiologically significant events in many members’ lives,” Dr. Gotlieb says. “Our goal with this feature is to equip our pregnant members to better know their bodies and take care of their health accordingly. And we’re just getting started — we’ll cont...
Pulse wave velocity (PWV) or augmentation index of aortic pulse has been commonly measured in the published studies11,12,13. Torrado et al. assessed and compared reactive hyperemia-related difference in carotid-radial PWV between pregnant women and non-pregnant women, and concluded that carotid-...
Materials and Methods Diagnosis of psoriasis was made clinically [Figure 2]; histopathology [Figure 3] was done in some patients only. Laboratory evaluation included hemoglobin, total and differential leukocyte counts, platelet counts, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, blood urea, ...
Analysis of the arterial pulse is now regaining favour as limitations of the cuff sphygmomanometer are better recognized (including the ability only to measure extremes of the pulse in the brachial artery). In addition, high-fidelity tonometers have been introduced for very accurate, non-invasive ...

One hundred participants will be required (drop-out rate of 32%) for recruitment to provide 80% power for detecting a significant difference in fasting glucose (p < 0.05). Measures related to infertility, metabolic syndrome, quality of life, dietary intake and physical activity will be ...
Blood lead levels have also been associated with increased risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension[5]. The association between lead exposure and the risk of hypertension in pregnant women was also demonstrated even in those with blood lead levels less than 2 μg/dL[6]. Lead exposure may also ...
Blood pressure (BP) and pulse rate were subsequently measured thrice following the recommendations of the European Society of Hypertension,16 in the non-dominant arm, two minutes apart (average of the last two readings was used for analysis), after a five minute rest with the patient in a ...
