The preliminary result of an ongoing study in 4 major hospitals across Nigeria on the use of magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) as an anticonvulsant in the management of eclampsia is presented. All the 21 obstetric patients with eclampsia (recruited so far) were treated with MgSO4 as the only
Animal experimental studies conducted at the turn of the century resulted in the use of magnesium sulphate as an anticonvulsant in humans. In U.S. clinics, parenteral administration of magnesium sulphate became a routine procedure in the treatment of eclampsia and pre-eclampsia. This treatment has
Postpartum onset of eclampsia and HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count) syndrome is a rare but life-threatening complication for both mother and fetus. A case of a 38-year-old parturient (gravida 2, para 1) who was asymptomatic prior to delivery is reported. Emergency
OBJECTIVE
The contribution of Eclampsia to maternal mortality in Nigeria is well documented. In Irrua it accounts for over 25% of maternal deaths. Addressing Eclampsia is therefore a priority programme of the Irrua Safe motherhood Initiative.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to determine the
BACKGROUND
The principal causes of morbidity and mortality during pregnancy in Mexico, are preeclampsia/eclampsia, obstetric hemorrhage and puerperium complications; this is, 62% of maternal deaths in last years. HELLP syndrome was observed between 5 to 25% of the mortality in pregnancies of 36
This study was undertaken to determine the prognosis value of laboratory and clinical findings in the progression of preeclampsia to eclampsia. Nausea and vomiting and glucose level > 105 mg/dL, serum creatinine level > 1.0 mg/dL, aspartate aminotransferase level > 35 IU/L, alanine aminotransferase
Eclampsia, an obstetric emergency frequently seen in pregnant or puerperal women, is a risk factor for posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). Most cases of eclampsia occur postpartum. We report a woman with PRES associated with eclampsia 10 weeks post-delivery, the latest OBJECTIVE
To assess the efficacy in lowering blood pressure, and the safety for mother and foetus of an acute nicardipine therapy in severe pre-eclampsia.
METHODS
Prospective clinical study.
METHODS
One university hospital obstetric unit.
METHODS
Twenty consecutive adult pre-eclamptic patients with
OBJECTIVE
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is an unpredictable and unpreventable complication of maternity. The presentation may range from relatively subtle clinical events to sudden maternal cardiac arrest. However, the neglected diagnosis of non-classical form of AFE (atypical AFE) is very common.
In the first stage of labor, pain is caused by distension of the cervix and low uterine segments in combination with isometric contraction of the uterus. Pain in the second stage of labor is dominated by tissue damage in the pelvis and perineum. Labor pain is due to an activation of nociceptors
Gastrointestinal symptoms are extremely common during pregnancy. Increased levels of female sex hormones cause or contribute to symptoms such as heartburn, nausea, vomiting and constipation. If these symptoms do not respond adequately to lifestyle and dietary changes, drug therapy is often warranted
Trombosis is seen in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia during or after L-asparaginase treatment. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a complex syndrome characterized with sudden hypertension, headache, nausea, vomiting, alteration in the state of consciousness, vision
Migraine headaches are marked by repeated, paroxysmal attacks of moderate-to-severe throbbing, one-sided headaches which (without treatment) last 4 to 72 hours and are usually associated with symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Migraine headaches are typically exacerbated by motion, bright lights and
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized by acute onset of headache, nausea, focal neurological deficits or seizures along with radiological findings of white matter defects in the parietal and occipital lobes. Causes of PRES include uremia, hypertensive encephalopathy,
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical and imaging features of hemorrhagic stroke during pregnancy and puerperium (HSPP).
METHODS
A retrospective analysis was conducted about timing, precipitating factors, clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, treatment and outcome of 7 HSPP
