Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the relationship between specific biomarkers in early pregnancy and the risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) by enrolling 1,041 pregnant women and assessing their blood pressure at four stages.
- Serum levels of uric acid (UA), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) showed a positive correlation with higher blood pressure and increased risk of HDP, while the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the AST/ALT ratio did not after adjustments for confounding factors.
- The findings suggest that elevated levels of UA, GGT, and
Objective: It is unclear whether uterine fibroids are associated with the occurrence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the association between uterine fibroids and HDP in a prospective cohort.
Methods: Overall, 2404 pregnant women who received antenatal care were enrolled in a prospective cohort in China between 2014 and 2016; 2277 women met the inclusion criteria of this study.
Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a public health issue in China, and its incidence in Guangdong Province is higher than the national average. Previous studies have found climatic factors have an influential role in the transmission of HFMD. Internet search technology has been shown to predict some infectious disease epidemics and is a potential resource in tracking epidemics in countries where the use of Internet search index data is prevalent.

The purpose of this study was to establish an ECG diagnostic model based on the previous ECG algorithms.
Methods And Results: The following ECG diagnostic model, Y=-1.
