ASSESSMENT OF THE COMPLICATIONS OF PREGNANCY INDUCED HYPERTENSION AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN IN AL-BASRA MATERNITY AND CHILDREN HOSPITAL

Assessment of the Complications of Pregnancy Induced Hypertension among Pregnant Women in AL-Basra Maternity and Children Hospital

Background: Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) develops after 20 week of pregnancy in women who originally had no blood pressure.The complication arising of PIH may possibly affect both the mother and her fetus.Aims of the study: This study aims to assess the complications of pregnancy-induced hypertension; and to determine the relationship betwe

A neuron-specific deletion of the microRNA-processing enzyme DICER induces severe but transient obesity in mice.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally.MiRNAs are implicated in various biological processes associated with obesity, including adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism.We used a neuronal-specific inhibition of miRNA maturation in adult mice to study the consequences of miRN
