To set up a global system for monitoring maternal and perinatal health in 54 countries worldwide.The WHO Global Survey Monitoring Maternal Perinatal Health was implemented through network of institutions, selected using stratified multistage cluster sampling design. Focused information on abstracted from hospital records entered specially developed online data management system. Data were collected over two- to three-month period each institution. The project coordinated by supported...

Refractory hypertension (RfHTN) is an extreme phenotype of antihypertensive treatment failure defined as lack blood pressure control with ≥5 medications, including a long-acting thiazide and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist. RfHTN subgroup resistant (RHTN), which >135/85 mm Hg ≥3 diuretic. RHTN generally attributed to persistent intravascular fluid retention. It unknown whether alternative mechanisms are operative in RfHTN. Our objective was determine characterized by retention,...

ABSTRACT Background High‐frequency low‐tidal‐volume (HFLTV) ventilation is a safe and cost‐effective strategy that improves catheter stability, first‐pass pulmonary vein isolation, freedom from all‐atrial arrhythmias during radiofrequency ablation (RFCA) of paroxysmal persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the incremental value adding rapid‐atrial pacing (RAP) to HFLTV‐ventilation has not yet been determined. Objective To evaluate effect plus RAP RFCA AF on procedural long‐term...
