Preeclampsia constitutes a heterogeneous multisystemic disorder defined by the new onset of hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation.1 The incidence of preeclampsia in Switzerland is estimated at 2.31 % of pregnancies (95% CI 1.62-3.28%), about 1'911 cases/year can be expected to
RESEARCH QUESTION Does intravenous Tranexamic Acid (TXA) 10mg/kg plus Oxytocin 5 International Units (IU) result in a lower incidence of primary postpartum haemorrhage compared to Oxytocin alone after elective caesarean section.
RATIONALE FOR THE RESEARCH Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a major
- Pre-eclampsia affects approximately 2-8% of all pregnancies worldwide. In Egypt, the prevalence of pre-eclampsia is 10.7% in a community based study. While, in hospital based studies it ranged from 9.1% to 12.5% of all deliveries. The incidence of pre-eclampsia has risen in the developing

Although the source of CA-125 during pregnancy is the fetal chorion, amniotic fluid, and maternal decidua, the perinatal dynamics of maternal serum CA-125 requires clarification. Clinical studies of CA-125 levels and its function in hypertensive pregnant patients are limited and offered
