The aim of the study was to assess if cardiovascular disease-associated microRNAs would be able to predict during the early stages of gestation (within 10 to 13 weeks) subsequent onset of hypertensive pregnancy-related complications: gestational hypertension (GH) or preeclampsia (PE). Secondly, the goal of the study was to assess if cardiovascular disease-associated microRNAs would be able to detect the presence of chronic hypertension in early pregnancies. The retrospective study was performed on whole peripheral blood samples collected from singleton Caucasian pregnancies within the period November 2012 to March 2020. The case control study, nested in a cohort, involved all women with chronic hypertension ( = 29), all normotensive women that later developed GH ( = 83) or PE with or without fetal growth restriction (FGR) ( = 66), and 80 controls selected on the base of equal sample storage time. Whole peripheral blood profiling was performed with the selection of 29 cardiovascular disease-associated microRNAs using real-time RT-PCR. Upregulation of miR-1-3p (51.72% at 10.0% FPR) was observed in patients with chronic hypertension only. Upregulation of miR-20a-5p (44.83% and 33.33% at 10.0% FPR) and miR-146a-5p (65.52% and 42.42% at 10.0% FPR) was observed in patients with chronic hypertension and normotensive women with later occurrence of PE. Upregulation of miR-181a-5p was detected in normotensive women subsequently developing GH (22.89% at 10.0% FPR) or PE (40.91% at 10.0% FPR). In a part of women with subsequent onset of PE, upregulation of miR-143-3p (24.24% at 10.0% FPR), miR-145-5p (21.21% at 10.0% FPR), and miR-574-3p (27.27% at 10.0% FPR) was also present. The combination of microRNA biomarkers (miR-20a-5p, miR-143-3p, miR-145-5p, miR-146a-5p, miR-181a-5p, and miR-574-3p) can predict the later occurrence of PE in 48.48% of pregnancies at 10.0% FPR in early stages of gestation. The combination of upregulated microRNA biomarkers (miR-1-3p, miR-20a-5p, and miR-146a-5p) is able to identify 72.41% of pregnancies with chronic hypertension at 10.0% FPR in early stages of gestation. Cardiovascular disease-associated microRNAs represent promising biomarkers with very good diagnostical potential to be implemented into the current first trimester screening program to predict later occurrence of PE with or without FGR. The comparison of the predictive results of the routine first trimester screening for PE and/or FGR based on the criteria of the Fetal Medicine Foundation and the first trimester screening for PE wo/w FGR using a panel of six cardiovascular disease-associated microRNAs only revealed that the detection rate of PE increased 1.45-fold (48.48% vs. 33.33%).

Environmental exposure to crude oil through seepage and spillage poses risks to the immediate environment and the broader ecosystem as areas along the oil distribution path are affected by the influx of crude petroleum as well as the environmental, economic, and civil unrest that accompanies it. There is a large financial burden associated with the lost resources, including the cost of rehabilitation, and the affected sources of revenue for communities affected by oil spills. As such, it is crucial to determine the responsible parties.

Abnormal microRNA expression profile at early stages of gestation in pregnancies destined to develop placenta previa.

Article Synopsis
  • Placenta previa is a condition where the placenta implants abnormally in the lower uterus, leading to serious risks for both the mother and fetus, including hemorrhage and stillbirth.
  • This study focused on analyzing microRNA expression in the blood during the first trimester of pregnancies that later developed placenta previa, comparing them to normal pregnancies.
  • The results showed that several microRNAs were downregulated in those pregnancies, with a combination of seven specific microRNAs accurately distinguishing between healthy and placenta previa pregnancies early on.

Background: Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is one of the most common hereditary organic acid metabolism disorders that endangers the lives and health of infants and children. Early detection and intervention before the appearance of a newborn's clinical symptoms can control disease progression and prevent or mitigate its serious consequences.

Methods: 42,004 newborns from two Chinese populations were included in the study.

. Accurate and timely prediction of epileptic seizures is crucial for empowering patients to mitigate their impact or prevent them altogether. Current studies predominantly focus on short-term seizure predictions, which causes the prediction time to be shorter than the onset of antiepileptic, thus failing to prevent seizures.
