The effect of impedance cardiography directed antihypertensive therapy on fetal growth restriction rates and perinatal mortality in women with chronic hypertension.

Objectives: We sought to determine the effect of impedance cardiography directed medical antihypertensive therapy on fetal growth restriction and perinatal mortality in women with chronic hypertension.

Study Design: A retrospective study was conducted on 958 women referred to the Maternal Hypertension Center at Cabell Huntington Hospital between 2005 and 2014 for the indication of chronic hypertension.

Main Outcome Measures: Serial assessments of maternal hemodynamics were obtained using non-invasive impedance cardiography.

Morphological and genetic variation in populations of Sitana/ marudhamneydhal/ and the validity of Sitana attenboroughii/.

Dewlap morphology and body ratios are two of the main morphological characters used in delimiting Sitana spp. It becomes a statistical limitation when small samples are used in species descriptions, as outliers can be picked to be described as a distinct species. Genetic data has been used to support the distinctness of a species in Sitana.

Uterine arteriovenous malformation leading to postpartum hemorrhage: A case report.

Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening cause of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). AVMs often present with intermittent or profuse vaginal bleeding in a woman with a history of uterine instrumentation. Transvaginal ultrasound is the initial imaging method used for diagnosis.
