Article Synopsis
  • - Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) affects 10% of pregnancies globally and includes conditions like chronic hypertension and preeclampsia, leading to serious health risks for both mothers and infants.
  • - A study examining brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (BAFMD) showed that women with HDP had significantly lower BAFMD compared to normotensive pregnant and nonpregnant women, though no major differences were found between HDP subgroups.
  • - While BAFMD decreased with gestational age, it proved to be a poor indicator for HDP, with body mass index (BMI) identified as a better predictor for the condition.

Introduction: Benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are common in elderly men. This study aimed to correlate the Doppler resistive indices of prostatic arteries with the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and prostate volume in men with concomitant BPE and T2DM.

Material And Methods: Fifty men with T2DM and BPE (BPE-DM) as cases and 50 age-matched men with BPE but no T2DM (BPE-ND) as controls were enrolled.

Purpose: Sickle cell intrahepatic cholestasis involves sickling within hepatic sinusoids leading to vascular stasis and localized hypoxia resulting in ballooning of the hepatocytes causing a direct back pressure effect with resultant intracanalicular cholestasis. Vascular stasis may ultimately lead to portal hypertension. We proposed to document findings suggestive of portal hypertension evolving from hepatopathy in steady-state sickle cell disease (SCD) patients using hepatic venous Doppler ultrasound.
