Relationship between serum soluble suppression of tumorigenicity (ST) 2 and global longitudinal strain in early onset preeclampsia.

Background: Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of death in childbearing women worldwide. Hemodynamic changes in preeclampsia can trigger cardiac remodeling as indicated by increase of soluble-ST2 (sST2). Global longitudinal strain were able to detect systolic dysfunction better than the ejection fraction.

Analysis of Clinical Profiles and Echocardiographic Cardiac Outcomes in Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM) vs. PPCM with Co-Existing Hypertensive Pregnancy Disorder (HPD-PPCM) Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a form of new-onset heart failure that has a high rate of maternal morbidity and mortality. This was the first study to systematically investigate and compare clinical factors and echocardiographic findings between women with PPCM and co-incident hypertensive pregnancy disorders (HPD-PPCM) and PPCM-only women. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) framework.

Total atrioventricular block in pregnancy -Case report.

Introduction And Importance: Bradycardia in pregnancy due to total atrioventricular block (TAVB) is a rare occurrence, often asymptomatic and may arise from a congenital disorder. Pacemaker is often required. Cases are few and management is not yet standardised.

Differences in maternal soluble ST2 levels in the third trimester of normal pregnancy versus preeclampsia.

Background: Preeclampsia is associated with intense inflammatory response in pregnancy, and soluble ST2 (sST2) is pathologically increased in this condition. No data exist regarding maternal sST2 levels in normal pregnancy versus preeclampsia in areas of southeast Asia with an ethnic Malay predominance.

Materials And Methods: Patients were sorted into normal pregnancy or preeclampsia.

Prediction of success of uterus-preserving management in women with placenta accreta spectrum (CON-PAS score): A multicenter international study.

Objective: To create a model for prediction of success of uterine-preserving procedures in women with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS).

Methods: PAS-ID is a multicenter study that included 11 centers from 9 countries. Women with PAS, who were managed between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2019, were retrospectively included.

First Trimester Ferritin Is Superior over Soluble Transferrin Receptor and Hepcidin in Predicting Anemia in the Third Trimester: Result from a Cohort Study in Indonesia.

Introduction: Anemia in the third trimester has been identified as a risk factor for maternal and fetal morbidity that might lead to mortality. Due to its high cost, finding the best marker to predict anemia became more important to allow early prevention. Only one of ferritin, hepcidin, or soluble transferrin receptors can be picked for the prediction of anemia in the third trimester especially in low-resource setting.

Association of first trimester maternal vitamin D, ferritin and hemoglobin level with third trimester fetal biometry: result from cohort study on vitamin D status and its impact during pregnancy and childhood in Indonesia.

Introduction: The role of vitamin D in placental functions and fetal growth had been addressed in many reports with conflicting results. However, such report is limited for Indonesian population. The aim of this study was to explore the association between maternal vitamin D level in the first trimester and fetal biometry in the later stage of pregnancy with adjusted OR for other determinants like hemoglobin and ferritin level.

Association of Colecalciferol, Ferritin, and Anemia among Pregnant Women: Result from Cohort Study on Vitamin D Status and Its Impact during Pregnancy and Childhood in Indonesia.

Studies had shown that iron-cycling was disturbed by inflammatory process through the role of hepcidin. Pregnancy is characterized by shifts of interleukin. Our objective was to determine if 25(OH) vitamin D (colecalciferol) status was associated with ferritin, anemia, and its changes during pregnancy.
