New approach discovered for early detection of Pre-eclampsia


Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication. Preeclampsia is caused due to high blood pressure and damage of organ system often the liver and kidneys. Changes like rise in blood pressure may lead to preeclampsia. If it is not treated then it leads to serious problem which affects both foetus and pregnant women. Preeclampia includes induced labor and delivery. Delivery by cesarean delivery (C-section) may be necessary for speedy delivery.

Diagnosis of Preeclampsis:

·          Proteinuria
·         A low platelet count
·         Impaired liver function
·         Signs of kidney trouble pulmonary edema
·         New-onset headaches
·         visual disturbances

Early detection of Preeclampsia:
Researchers work on early detection of Preeclampsia by measuring the blood concentration of the enzyme diamine oxidase, this enzyme which is responsible for breaking down histamine in the body and which rises sharply in pregnant women. If body produces excess amount of histamine then it leads to allergic reaction and anaphylactic shock.  The recent studies in Preeclampsia prove to find and treat histamine-induced symptoms such as allergic reactions, if it is possible to produce diamine oxidase as a therapeutic infusion.
Possible treatment for Preeclampsia:
Possible treatment for Preeclampsia may include Medications to lower blood pressure. Corticosteroids can improve liver and platelet function to prolong pregnancy. It also helps placenta lungs to become more mature in 48 hours. It works in preparing a premature baby for life outside the womb. Anticonvulsant medications, if preeclampsia is severe then anticonvulsant medication, such as magnesium sulfate, to prevent first seizure.

Large Dose Flu vaccine Associated Fewer Hospitalizations in Dialysis Patients

Image
Results from another investigation propose that high-portion flu vaccine is related with lower hazard for hospitalizations in kidney disappointment patients on dialysis. High-portion flu vaccine , which contains fourfold more antigen than the standard portion, is connected with less instances of flu and less serious flu side effects in the elderly overall public. Regardless of whether the high-portion flu immunization benefits dialysis patients, whose invulnerable reaction to inoculation is less powerful than solid patients, is dubious.  To investigate, researchers compared hospitalizations and deaths during the 2015-16 and 2016-17 influenza seasons by vaccine type (standard trivalent, standard quadrivalent, and high-dose trivalent influenza vaccine) administered to more than 9000 patients in season inside a national dialysis association. Receiving high-dose vs. standard dose influenza vaccine in 2016-17 was associated with lower rates of hospitalization in dialysis pat

Influenza: The search for a Universal Antibody

Image
Nobody needs to get this season's flu virus, and the best line of protection is the occasional flu antibody. The smallpox antibody was the first to utilize the "observational worldview" of vaccinology – a similar methodology we to a great extent utilize today. It depends on an experimentation way to deal with a mirror the insusceptibility instigated by a common disease . Vaccines prime the immune system to fight What's more, individuals perceived that milkmaids who came into contact with cowpox-ridden dairy cattle would correspondingly be shielded from smallpox. So in the event that one immunization of cowpox or one introduction to (and survival of) smallpox presents a decade worth or even deep-rooted resistance, for what reason are people urged to get this season's flu virus antibody consistently? The appropriate response lies in how rapidly the flu infection's life systems changes. Every infection comprises of a generally circu

Box 22 Herpes Zoster – The Same Virus, a Different Disease

Image
In 10–20% of children infected with varicella, the virus takes up residence in nerve cells, where it lies dormant for several decades, until a lowering of the host’s immune defences (as a result of ageing, disease, or immunosuppressive treatment) allows it to awaken, begin replicating, and precipitate herpes zoster disease, or shingles as it is commonly known . In the United States alone, 43 million people are believed to be at risk of herpes zoster .  Herpes zoster is characterized by a painful blistering rash along the distribution of the infected nerve cells. In many elderly people the rash and pain subside and resolve completely in a few weeks. In about 15% of patients, though, pain and numbness in the area of the rash can last for weeks or months. The pain can be severe and highly disabling, both physically and mentally. Itching, which may fluctuate from mild to intense, adds to the person’s discomfort. In addition, 8–15% of people suffer permanent neurological damage
