Pregnancy-related thrombosis risk in patients with protein C deficiency and comparison with pregnant women with heterozygous factor V Leiden mutation.

: The risk of pregnancy-related venous thromboembolism is high in patients with inherited thrombophilia. The aim of this study was to compare the risk of pregnancy related-venous thromboembolism of women with protein C (PC) deficiency to patients with heterozygous factor V Leiden mutation. 145 consecutive pregnant women with confirmed PC deficiency or heterozygous factor V Leiden mutation were prospectively enrolled in the study.

Pregnancy and thrombosis: Adrenal vein thrombosis. A retrospective descriptive study of 14 cases.

Objectives: Adrenal vein thrombosis during pregnancy is a rare thromboembolic event but is not exceptional. The objective of this study was to described the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients with this condition.

Study Design: This was a retrospective descriptive study of 14 cases (13 patients, one recurrence) that occurred in the three university maternity hospitals in Lyon (France) from 2008 to 2016.

Neonatal morbidity associated with vaginal delivery of noncephalic second twins.

Background: Management of noncephalic second twin delivery rests on the results of population-based retrospective studies of twin births that have shown higher neonatal mortality and morbidity for second twins with noncephalic, compared with cephalic, presentations after vaginal delivery of the first twin. Because these studies are flawed by data of questionable validity, do not report the obstetrical practices at delivery, and do not allow collection of potential confounding variables, we performed a national prospective study specially designed to evaluate the management of twins' delivery.

Objective: We sought to assess neonatal mortality and morbidity according to second twin presentation after vaginal birth of the first twin.

Personalized thromboprophylaxis using a risk score for the management of pregnancies with high risk of thrombosis: a prospective clinical study.

Unlabelled: Essentials Pregnancy is a risk factor for thrombosis. Management of thrombosis risk in pregnancy remains a challenge. Prophylaxis needs to be personalized.

Comparison of body mass index, waist circumference, and waist to height ratio in the prediction of hypertension and diabetes mellitus: Filipino-American women cardiovascular study.

The relative ability of three obesity indices to predict hypertension (HTN) and diabetes (DM) and the validity of using Asian-specific thresholds of these indices were examined in Filipino-American women (FAW). Filipino-American women ( = 382), 40-65 years of age were screened for hypertension (HTN) and diabetes (DM) in four major US cities. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist circumference to height ratio (WHtR) were measured.
