INTRODUCTION Despite advances in care, preeclampsia remains a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide and its syndromic nature makes diagnosis and management difficult.1 Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific syndrome, defined by new onset hypertension and

Fluid resuscitation is a key determinant in the management of these parturients. Hypovolemia exacerbates organ failure, whereas volume overload results in pulmonary edema. In this setting, the use of noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring is associated with reduced mortality. Point-of-care lung

Background of the Project including Preliminary Observations Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including preeclampsia, complicate up to 10% of pregnancies worldwide, constituting one of the greatest causes of fetal growth restriction, preterm birth, low birth weight, perinatal mortality, and

In preoperative period, all eligible participants are admitted to the hospital for undergoing TKA. The detailed protocol, including how to rate visual analog pain score, times to take the blood for checking hematocrit levels, criteria for blood transfusion, time to measure the knee and thigh

Background and Rationale: Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects 250,000 births per year worldwide, with 70-80,000 patients currently residing in the US. Although classically thought of as a genetic hemoglobinopathy, most of the clinical complications are vascular in etiology and pulmonary manifestations

Preeclampsia is a disorder of widespread vascular endothelial malfunction and vasospasm that occurs after 20 weeks' gestation and can present as late as 4-6 weeks' postpartum. It is clinically defined by as blood pressure ≥140 mmHg systolic and ≥90 mmHg diastolic diagnosed for the first time after

Acupuncture has traditionally been used in Asia and is increasingly popular in Western countries to treat a variety of conditions (1). In recent years, acupuncture is widely used to assist in improving pain and inflammatory diseases (2). However, the mechanisms associated with these treatments that

Prolonged periods of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) cause high levels of plasma free haemoglobin(Hb) and are associated with increased morbidity. We hypothesized that repletion of nitric oxide (NO) during and after the surgical procedure on CPB may protect against endothelium dysfunction and organ

The Hemolytic Anemia due to Rh alloimmunization is characterized by the hemolysis of Rh (D) fetal red cells caused by the action of anti Rh (D) maternal antibodies in the fetal circulation. The perinatal hemolytic disease due to Rh alloimmunization is almost extinct all over the world. The

Title: Plasma and abscess fluid pharmacokinetics of cefpirome and moxifloxacin single dose and multiple dose administration. Background: Extensive research in the field of abscess treatment has established a claim for invasive drainage as the most efficient means of resolving suppurative lesions. In

Methods: This is a pilot study to examine the feasibility of conducting a larger, multi center randomized control trial. Fifty women with chronic hypertension who are pregnant and are seen in the first trimester of pregnancy will be recruited from the offices of obstetricians at New York
