Results of a new study support the hypothesis that chronic periodontal infection increases the risk of developing preeclampsia in pregnant women. view more (2006-02-06)
Hormone might cause dangerous pregnancy complication
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati (UC) Academic Health Center have found evidence of a hormone they say is responsible for certain types of high blood pressure (hypertension), and could also cause preeclampsia, a potentially dangerous condition that occurs during pregnancy. view more (2005-10-18)
Novel diagnosis of preeclampsia with proteomic analysis
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have found that analyzing proteins in urine is a simple and objective method to diagnose and classify preeclampsia (PE), a complication of pregnancy causing high blood pressure after 20 weeks of gestation. view more (2006-02-06)
Periodontitis may increase C-reactive protein levels in pregnancy
Researchers found that pregnant women with periodontitis had 65 percent higher C-reactive protein (CRP) levels compared to periodontally healthy women. view more (2006-05-03)
Prepregnancy Weight Increasing, Bringing More Risk
A growing number of women are overweight or obese when they become pregnant, a condition that is risky to both mother and baby, a new study conducted by researchers at the University at Buffalo has shown. view more (2005-12-16)
New angiogenesis finding may help fight cancer growth
A researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health has discovered a new part of the complicated mechanism that governs the formation of blood vessels, or angiogenesis. view more (2006-09-29)
Molecules in blood foretell development of preeclampsia
High levels of two proteins in the blood of pregnant women appear to indicate the subsequent development of preeclampsia, a life-threatening complication of pregnancy. view more (2006-09-07)
Increased risk of stillbirth in older pregnant women
Pregnancy at age 40 and beyond is an independent risk factor for intrauterine fetal demise or stillbirth, according to an abstract presented by Yale School of Medicine researchers at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Conference February 10 in San Francisco. view more (2007-02-12)
1 in 7 U.S. Teens Is Vitamin D Deficient
One in seven American adolescents is vitamin D deficient, according to a new study by researchers in the Department of Public Health at Weill Cornell Medical College. The findings are published in the March issue of the journal Pediatrics and were presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies' Annual Meeting in May 2008. view more (2009-03-12)
Researchers identify protein associated with severe preeclampsia
Building on their earlier discovery which found that elevated levels of the sFlt1 placental protein leads to the onset of preeclampsia, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), in collaboration with a research team from The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, have identified a second protein which, in combination with sFlt1,... view more...

Mothers' high normal blood sugar levels place infants at risk for birth problems
Pregnant women with blood sugar levels in the higher range of normal-but not high enough to be considered diabetes-are more likely than women with lower blood sugar levels to give birth to babies at risk for many of the same problems seen in babies born to women with diabetes during pregnancy, according to a study funded in large part by the... view more...

Preeclampsia, fetal development problems may be linked to low levels of hormone
New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ties low levels of a hormone secreted by the uterus and embryos to problems with pregnancy and fetal development. view more (2006-09-19)
Researchers discover genetics markers to help predict risk for preterm birth
New research is uncovering genetic links that may help explain some of the mystifying premature births among women who start pregnancy with no known risk factors. view more (2006-08-22)
Regular multivitamin use near time of conception significantly reduces preeclampsia risk
Women who are considering becoming pregnant may significantly reduce their risk of developing a common life-threatening complication called preeclampsia by taking a multivitamin supplement regularly three months before conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy. view more (2006-07-27)
UCLA study uncovers new risk factor for schizophrenia
UCLA scientists have discovered that infants who possess a specific immune gene that too closely resembles their mothers' are more likely to develop schizophrenia later in life. view more (2006-09-06)
In preeclampsia, researchers identify proteins that cause blood vessel damage
Proteins released by the placenta may damage blood vessels in women with preeclampsia (PE), according to an abstract presented by Yale School of Medicine researchers at the Society for Gynecologic Investigation Conference March 17 in Reno, Nevada. view more (2007-03-19)
Improvement seen in fetal survival following preeclampsia
Fetal survival following a preeclamptic pregnancy has improved substantially over the last 35 years in Norway, likely due to a reduction in stillbirths and improvements in clinical management. view more (2006-09-20)
