OBJECTIVE: To identify the meanings attributed by mothers to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) and their consequences, such as premature birth and hospitalization of the infant in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). METHOD: A qualitative study, based on the Central Nucleus Theory, with 70 women who had hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and preterm delivery. We used the technique of free word association (FWAT) with three stimuli: high blood pressure during pregnancy, prematurity and NICU. RESULTS: We obtained 1007 evocations, distributed as follows: high blood pressure during pregnancy (335) prematurity (333) and NICU (339). These constituted three thematic units: representation of HDPs, prematurity and the NICU. The categories death and negative aspects were inherent to the three units analyzed, followed by coping strategies and needs for care present in HDPs and prematurity. CONCLUSION: The study had death as its central nucleus, and highlighted the subjective aspects present in the high risk pregnancy and postpartum cycle. It is hoped that this research will contribute to qualifying nursing care for women confronting the problem of HDPs, so that they can cope with less impacts from the adverse effects of high risk pregnancy and birth.

Labor Complications

A complication of labor is a problem that poses a risk to the mother's or baby's health that occurs during birth. There are also pregnancy complications; those are the health problems that occur in the pregnant woman or in the developing fetus before the onset of labour. Complications of birth may occur during labor or the delivery and can have serious repercussions for both mother and newborn. Some complications that women develop during pregnancy like preeclampsia (high blood pressure with protein in the urine) may lead to premature detachment of the placenta from the uterus (placental abruption) and problems in the newborn. Some other labor complications may sometimes develop spontaneously and unexpectedly. Hence, it becomes easier to anticipate such problems during pregnancy through regular antenatal check-up by a physician or a certified nurse/midwife. Thus, intrapartum care of women with a complicated labor and delivery is recommended to improve the chances of having a healthy baby and safe delivery.

Eclampsia is a serious medical condition that affects women during pregnancy. Symptoms of eclampsia appear in pregnancy as a condition known as pre-eclampsia, (condition follows a high blood pressure) , the condition can go undetected until it develops into eclampsia. This can create additional complications during pregnancy. Each case of eclampsia is unique, and the pregnant woman may share few or no characteristics with other women who develop the condition. Pregnancy histories, Patient age, Family history, Obesity, High blood pressure are major high risk factors for preeclampsia and eclampsia will vary from patient to patient. Aims and Objectives of Study: To detect the level of urea, creatinine and uric acid in the diagnosis of preeclampsia and eclampsia. Material and Method: Total 100 subjects were selected for study. Out of 40 were normal pregnant womens, 30 were suffered from preeclampsia and 30 were suffered eclampsia. Blood sample were collected in plane test tube for assay of urea, creatinine and uric acid. Results of Study: The concentration of urea, creatinine and uric acid is significantly increased found in eclampsia compare to normal subjects. The level of serum urea and serum creatinine increased but insignificant in pre-eclampsia (40.08 ± 9.20 ; 0.78 ± 0.32) compare to normal group (30.47 ± 6.18 ; 0.58 ± 0.14). The level of uric acid was significantly increased found in pre-eclampsia subject (6.42 ± 1.42) than normal pregnant woman (4.82 ± 0.86) (p >0.0001). Conclusion: On the basis of study findings we, concluded that the increased levels of serum uric acid, serum creatinine and serum urea are better diagnostic and predictive marker for PE and eclampsia and immediate medical attention required for preeclampsia and eclampsia. With the help of these parameters most cases are detected early in the pregnancy before they can progress to eclampsia. While there is no cure for preeclampsia, doctors will often prescribe medications to lower blood pressure or anticonvulsant medications to prevent seizures.

Abstract Background Dengue, the most prevalent arboviral infection disease worldwide affects more than 2.5 billion people. Puerto Rico has endemic transmission of dengue virus (DENV). Chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus (DM) tend to increase susceptibility to infectious diseases. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is also one of the chronic diseases with higher prevalence in the United States (9.1%) and Puerto Rico (12.8%), and its effect on arboviral infections is understudied. Methods A Sentinel Enhanced Dengue Surveillance System was established in a tertiary hospital in the southern region of Puerto Rico. Study aims are to describe and compare the clinical course and prognosis of dengue in patients with and without the DM co-morbidity. A retrospective case-control study (2012-2015) was performed, where 1,005 participants with confirmed dengue were identified. Results In those with dengue, we examined 57 cases with DM and 171 controls without DM on presentation. Mean age of participants was 40 years old, 31 (54.4%) were males. Relevant clinical features of cases were high blood pressure (HBP) in 51%, muscle pain (70.2%) and joint pain (63.2%). Laboratory results were thrombocytopenia (40%), high creatinine >1.2mg/dl (18.5%), high BUN >20mg/dl (16.6%) and low albumin < 3.4 g/dl (28.7%). For controls, clinical and laboratory results were HBP in 26.9%, muscle pain (64.3%) and joint pain (56.7%); thrombocytopenia (38.6%), high creatinine (4.7%), high BUN (1.8%) and low albumin (21.6%). ANOVA test compared the means of clinical features and laboratory parameters between the case and control groups. The results indicate that high blood pressure, high creatinine and high BUN were significantly more common in cases than in controls (P < 0.01). Cases that had high creatinine (OR = 2.03 [CI: 0.01 – 6.08]), high BUN (OR = 1.30 [CI: 0.93 – 1.81]) and high blood pressure (OR = 1.02 [CI: 0.93 – 1.11]) were more likely to present bleeding, a warning sign for severe dengue. Also, diabetic cases that presented thrombocytopenia were more likely to be admitted to the hospital (OR = 2.64 [CI: 0.36 – 19.37]). Conclusion Understanding the clinical manifestation of dengue in patients with DM can increase clinician awareness of the importance of this co-morbidity in order to implement preventive measures and improve clinical outcomes.

Arterial hypertension (HTN) is the most common cardiovascular disorder around the world. High blood pressure is a manifestation of essential hypertension (EHTN) in the majority of cases. The exclusion of symptomatic HTN is crucial for correct diagnosis. We present a case of a very rare symptomatic HTN caused by nonspecific aortoarteritis (Takayasu disease). Morphological substrate of Takayasu disease is arteritis associated with the total wall damage of aortic brunches. The diagnosis is very difficult due to the chronic course, nonspecific signs and a variety of clinical masks. That often leads to late diagnosis and complications. Clinical features of Takayasu aortoarteritis include unilateral pulse weakening, blood pressure asymmetry on right and left arms, bruit on damaged artery, laboratory signs of inflammation: accelerated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESV), anemia, thrombocytosis, C‑reactive protein (CRP) elevation. Ultrasound vessel duplex scanning is important, but angiography of aorta and aortic branches are still the “gold standard”. We draw attention to clinical features, diagnostic methods and the course of the Takayasu disease in a young woman with high blood pressure.

Blurred Vision

Central serous chorioretinopathy occupies the macula and has been described in association with different conditions, including pregnancy. In this report, a 23-year-old pregnant woman underwent uneventful caesarean section in the 40th week of pregnancy after failure of vaginal delivery. One day after the delivery, the patient complained of blurred vision in her left eye and was found to have atypical, eccentric serous chorioretinopathy that subsequently resolved gradually. Serous chorioretinopathy may be atypical in location and occur after delivery because of high blood pressure, hormonal changes, or stressogenic delivery.
