Background: Pregnancy-induced1hypertension (PIH) is the main cause of1maternal & perinatal mortality and can also lead to long-term health problems. It complicates 10% of all pregnancies globally, with pre-eclampsia & eclampsia being the leading causes of maternal & perinatal mortality. Objective: To find the frequency of pregnancy induced hypertension among pregnant women Delivering in a Tertiary Care Hospital. Study Design: Descriptive Cross sectional Methodology: This study was conducted in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department in Services Hospital, Lahore. Patients present with age 30 to 50 years were included. Preeclampsia was defined as “systolic blood pressure above 140 mmHg and/or diastolic pressure >90mmHg measured at least two times with 4 hours’ interval and proteinuria ≥300mg/day was deemed as preeclampsia and detailed history were given. Total 78 females meeting the selection criteria for the study was included. Prior to birth, pregnant women were interviewed face to face in a different corner of the prenatal ward to collect data on socio-demographic and obstetric factors using a questionnaire. Results: The mean age of the patients with pregnancy induced hypertension was found to be 28.39±4.58. The prevalence of pregnancy induced hypertension was found to be 78 (8.66%) representing 56 (71.79%), 13 (16.6%) and 7 (8.97%) as gestational hypertension, preeclampsia and eclampsia. Conclusion: The prevalence of PIH was high than compared to that of other studies. Gestational Hypertension and Pre-eclampsia was the most common symptoms in PIH.

Neck pain is the fourth leading cause of disability, and is the most common musculoskeletal disorder. High-heel shoes, one of the significant identities of females, cause pain in the neck as well as in feet and ankle regions. The current narrative review was planned to explore evidence to highlight the biomechanical factors of high-heel shoes as the source of neck pain, which mostly remains undiagnosed. PubMed and Google Scholar search engines were explored for full text of research articles published in English language from 2016 to 2021. Of the 82 studies initially found, 22(27%) were shortlisted for full-text assessment, and, of them, 6 (27.27%) were selected for detailed analysis. Despite other contributing factors, kinematics and kinetics should be considered primarily during neck pain management. Based on best available evidence, high heels increase the individual’s height, but result in significant decrease in trunk flexion. ---Continue
