Background Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, especially its dreaded complication preeclampsia, remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality for both the mother and the fetus. Existing tools for the prediction of preeclampsia remain inadequate in their sensitivity and specificity. Hence, there is an urgent need for a reliable, economically feasible, and objective marker for its diagnosis/early prediction.

- Hypertensive complications, particularly preeclampsia, are crucial factors contributing to higher maternal and neonatal health risks in pregnancy globally, marked by high blood pressure and proteinuria, along with serious blood-related issues.
- A study was conducted comparing coagulation profiles and pregnancy outcomes between 37 women diagnosed with preeclampsia and 37 with normal blood pressure, analyzing various coagulation parameters and maternal/neonatal health outcomes from September 2022 to May 2024.
- Findings revealed significantly lower platelet counts in preeclamptic women, along with other complications such as increased risks for serious maternal health issues and varied neonatal outcomes, indicating the severe impact of preeclampsia on both mothers and their infants.
Angular pregnancy, a rare condition, marked by implantation positioned medially to the uterotubal junction within the lateral angle of the endometrial cavity poses a risk of severe complications, such as uterine rupture, placental retention, postpartum hemorrhage, and even necessitating hysterectomy, all of which can be fatal. Distinguishing angular pregnancy from other emergent conditions, particularly interstitial and cornual pregnancies, is crucial due to similar presentations and difference in embryo viability, risk, and management. While angular pregnancies can progress to term, they are associated with an elevated complication rate.
