Background: Recent investigations have demonstrated a positive association between periodontitis and pregnancy complications. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect subgingival microbial composition on preeclampsia. Methods: A case‐control carried out in Cali, Colombia that included 130 preeclamptic 243 non‐preeclamptic women 26 36 weeks pregnancy. Sociodemographic data, obstetric risk factors, periodontal status, were determined both groups. Preeclampsia defined as blood...

Objective Recent studies have shown that pre-eclamptic women present a high prevalence of periodontitis, suggesting active periodontal disease may play role in the pathogenesis pre-eclampsia. The study analysed effect concentrations serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and its association with Methods A case–control was carried out Cali-Colombia, comprised 398 pregnant (145 cases 253 controls) who were believed to disease, between 28 36 weeks gestational age. Pre-eclampsia...

The aim of the present study was to determine whether beneficial effect oral supplementation with calcium and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in reduction incidence pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is related changes plasma levels prostanoids, renin, angiotensin II, calciotropic hormones, intracellular ionized free calcium.These mediators were determined using blood samples obtained from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that included 48 healthy primigravidas family...

Abstract Seventy‐two patients were studied with pregnancies of more than 32 weeks, 38 (52.7%) whom developed either premature labour or pregnancy‐induced hypertension and who admitted to the high‐risk pregnancy unit university hospital in Cali, Colombia. The remaining 34 (47.3%) had normal recruited from smaller hospitals (Selva Siloi.) same city Cali. Each patient's clinical history included: 1. level stress social support affecting course pregnancy. 2. lymphocyte activity measured by count...

Preeclampsia, a pregnancy-exclusive hypertensive disorder, is the major cause of maternal and perinatal mortality, with greater importance in developing countries. The role inflammation pathogenesis preeclampsia has been object recent studies by our group. We have described elevated levels inflammatory markers (tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein) preeclamptic patients demonstrated that Latin-American women present higher degree than from developed results suggest...

Introduction. Preeclampsia is the most important cause of maternal mortality in developing countries. A comprehensive prenatal care program including bio-psychosocial components was developed and introduced at a national level Colombia. We report on trends rates their related causes before after implementation this program. Methods: General specific were monitored for nine years (1998-2006). An interrupted time-series analysis performed with monthly data cases that compared changes impact...

Studies suggest that carbohydrates are important in different stages of fertilization. Plasma membrane changes accompanying vitro capacitation and acrosome reaction (AR), such as removal or appearance specific glycoproteins, have been studied using lectins bind specifically to carbohydrate residues. In specialized artificial insemination farms semen production centers, identification boars with decreased fertilization ability (subfertility) is a newborn necessity. This investigation...

Objective: To determine the efficacy of periodontal intervention on pregnancy outcome in mild preeclamptic women. Methods: A sample 60 pregnant women with preeclampsia (blood pressure levels < 160/110 mm and proteinuria >300 mg/l 24 hours urine) from Hospital Universitario del Valle (Cali, Colombia) was included to study. Preeclamptic were randomized two groups, one (PIG, N=28) another which practiced after childbirth (NPIG, N=32). Maternal socio-demographic, medical data obtained. PIG...

Introduction. Few studies have described subgingival microbiota in pregnant women with mild preeclampsia.Objective. Clinical periodontal and changes were identified preeclampsia after treatment.Materials methods. In a secondary analysis of randomized clinical trial, 57 preeclamptic studied at Hospital Universitario del Valle Cali, Colombia. Thirty one to the intervention group (subgingival scaling planing ultrasonic manual) during pregnancy 26 control (supragingival prophylaxis). Periodontal...

The main purpose of sperm evaluation is to predict its fertilizing ability. However, basic test results show a low correlation with this study was determine whether there an association between acrosome reaction (AR) and the incidence subfertility normal boar. production records 22 farms were analyzed identify boars fertility and/or prolificity, classified as subfertile. Twenty-two subfertile boar semen samples compared 51 fertile boars. Sperm capacitated during 4 h at 39°C, viability...
