We compared the results of Swan-Ganz measurements in 11 preeclamptic women and report of the hemodynamic profile in severe preeclampsia. Measurements were performed between 28-36 weeks of gestation.

Background: Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy characterized by systemic endothelial dysfunction. The pathophysiology of preeclampsia remains incompletely understood. This study used human venous endothelial cell (EC) transcriptional profiling to investigate potential novel mechanisms underlying EC dysfunction in preeclampsia.

While soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) is used to predict preeclampsia (PE) and its severity in late pregnancy, we aimed to clarify its role in early pregnancy. Using prospective cohorts, we estimated the association between sFlt-1, adjusted for gestational age, and preterm PE. sFlt-1 was significantly decreased in the first trimester, mostly before the 13th week, and significantly increased in the third trimester in those who developed preterm PE and particularly early-onset PE.

Background: Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication requiring early detection to improve outcomes. Profilin-1 (PFN1), linked to vascular dysfunction, may serve as a biomarker for diagnosing preeclampsia and predicting adverse neonatal outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine the serum Profilin-1 levels in patients diagnosed with preeclampsia and to investigate its association with disease severity and adverse neonatal outcomes.

Spontaneous hepatic rupture is a rare complication that occurs in pregnant mothers with HELLP syndrome, or preeclampsia with severe features, or eclampsia. The most common symptom of hepatic rupture/hematoma is right upper quadrant pain or epigastric pain, which is similar to the presentation of preeclampsia with severe features. Therefore, the absence of specific signs and symptoms leads to a diagnostic dilemma and a delay in management.

Background: Episiotomy has specific indications that, if properly followed, can effectively prevent women from experiencing severe lacerations that may result in significant complications like anal incontinence. However, the risk factors related to episiotomy has been the center of much debate in the medical field in the past few years.
Objective: The present study used a machine learning model to predict the factors that put women at the risk of having episiotomy using intrapartum data.
