“…Increased blood pressure during pregnancy is one of the most common causes of women hospitalizations. If hypertension is intensified and other symptoms of preeclampsia are observed, the fetus and the mother's life will be in danger (10). In most of the cases, increased gestational hypertension is a transitory and temporary condition and can be controlled by resting, but the danger of intensified hypertension and the incidence of preeclampsia continue to exist until the pregnancy is terminated (11).…”

Introduction: gestational diabetes are associated with serious midwifery complications. One of the important problems of these patients is gestational hypertension. Gestational hypertension is observed in 10% of pregnant women and is associated with different fetal and maternal complications such as preterm delivery, delayed intrauterine growth, asphyxia, fetal death, placental abruption, liver and kidney failure, bleeding prior and after delivery, and mother's death. results of the studies showed that female infants who are overweight during infancy are exposed to a higher risk of developing pregnancy poisoning. In addition to maternal complications and pregnancy blood pressure disorders, fetal and infancy complications are other main complications of this disease. Material and methods:The present study was conducted by searching both English and Persian databases including magiran, SID ,Google scholars, and science direct pub med by using keywords such as hypertention, gestational diabetes and review. At first, the researcher searched a large number of studies. Then, from among the studies searched, those that were not related to the subject of the present study were removed, and the researcher used only those studies having a proper relationship with the present study. In the present study, it was attempted to investigate the relation between HTN and GDM. Discussion: Mortality rate before delivery in pregnant women with gestational hypertension is five times higher than pregnant women with normal blood pressure. Main pregnancy problems such as dysfunction of large and small vessels, the incidence of diabetes after pregnancy is terminated, and gestational hypertension are more common in pregnant women with gestational diabetes than pregnant women without gestational diabetes.Pregnancy can cause hypertension in women who used to have normal blood pressure. Increased blood pressure during pregnancy is one of the most common causes of women hospitalizations. If hypertension is intensified and other symptoms of preeclampsia are observed, the fetus and the mother's life will be in danger. In most of the cases, increased gestational hypertension is a transitory and temporary condition and can be controlled by resting, but the danger of intensified hypertension and the incidence of preeclampsia continue to exist until the pregnancy is terminated. The relation between pregnancy-induced hypertension and gestational diabetes is not well understood several studies suggest an association between these diseases, but others do not.

“…Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps remove the T2 shine-through of diffusionweighted imaging and thereby provide quantifiable signal that is directly proportional to the diffusivity of water inside the tissue. ADC values may accurately distinguish between infectious spondylitis and MC1 [37,38]. One limitation with this approach is the sensitivity of image quality and ADC values to chosen strength and timing of the gradients (b-values) [38].…”

Measuring and reporting of vertebral endplate bone marrow lesions as seen on MRI (Modic changes): recommendations from the ISSLS Degenerative Spinal Phenotypes Group

Purpose The positive association between low back pain and MRI evidence of vertebral endplate bone marrow lesions, often called Modic changes (MC), offers the exciting prospect of diagnosing a specific phenotype of chronic low back pain (LBP). However, imprecision in the reporting of MC has introduced substantial challenges, as variations in both imaging equipment and scanning parameters can impact conspicuity of MC. This review discusses key methodological factors that impact MC classification and recommends guidelines for more consistent MC reporting that will allow for better integration of research into this LBP phenotype. Methods Non-systematic literature review. ResultsThe high diagnostic specificity of MC classification for a painful level contributes to the significant association observed between MC and LBP, whereas low and variable sensitivity underlies the between-and within-study variability in observed associations. Poor sensitivity may be owing to the presence of other pain generators, to the limited MRI resolution, and to the imperfect reliability of MC classification, which lowers diagnostic sensitivity and thus influences the association between MC and LBP. Importantly, magnetic field strength and pulse sequence parameters also impact detection of MC. Advances in pulse sequences may improve reliability and prove valuable for quantifying lesion severity. Conclusions Comparison of MC data between studies can be problematic. Various methodological factors impact detection and classification of MC, and the lack of reporting guidelines hinders interpretation and comparison of findings. Thus, it is critical to adopt imaging and reporting standards that codify acceptable methodological criteria.

Endplate bone marrow lesions, which are mainly identified using T1-and T2-weighted MRI ("Modic changes"), are the focus of a large and growing body of work. However, the specific methods for diagnosing these lesions can bias study findings. 2. The high diagnostic specificity of Modic classification for a painful level contributes to the significant association observed between Modic changes and LBP. Low and variable sensitivity underlies the between-and within-studies variability. Poor sensitivity may be owing to the presence of other pain generators, the limited MRI resolution, and the imperfect reliability of Modic classification. 3. Magnet strength and pulse sequence parameters can impact the detection of Modic changes. 4. Advanced pulse sequences may improve reliability and prove valuable for quantifying lesion severity.

“…To feel dry mouth, say((Zerostomyia)) (7,8,9)Dry mouth is one of the most common and commonly observed symptoms in patients undergoing hemodialysis (10,11). Dry mouth can affect the quality of life of patients with dialysis and can lead to discomfort and distress in these patients (12). Dry mouth in hemodialysis occurs due to a variety of causes: Observe a limited diet of fluids at intervals between two dialysis, Uremia, Taking medications including:Anti-blood pressures, Painkillers, Diuretics, Antidepressants And anti-inflammatory drugs Which is commonly used in these patients (13).…”

“…Dialysis can cause severe oral complications in patients And dry mouth is the most common oral complication in these patients. Probably due to a decrease in the flow of saliva in hemodialysis patients than in healthy people, Dry mouth in these patients has a high prevalence (15,16,17).Dry mouth has many complications, including cardiovascular problems (18).Considering the high prevalence of oral dryness in patients undergoing hemodialysis(10) And the negative impact on the quality of life of these patients (12) And even the risk of cardiovascular disorders followed by mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis with dry mouth (18) It is also probably due to severe involvement of hemodialysis patients with illness and weekly dialysis Do not pay attention to their oral problems. therefore, the present study was conducted to examine the dry mouth in hemodialysis patients In Zabol.…”

Introduction: The most commonly used method for renal replacement in most patients is hemodialysis. Dry mouth is one of the most commonly observed symptoms in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Method: The present single-group descriptive-analytic study was conducted in order to examine the dry mouth(xerostomia) in hemodialysis patients. The sample size was determined to be 60 subjects using Cochran's formula, with α = 0.05 andβ= 0.20. Result: The mean age of patients was 52.68 years, The mean of oral dryness in patients was 44.02.75% of patients suffered from dry mouth. There was no significant relationship between the number of dialysis per week and the history of dialysis in patients and the age of research units with dry mouth (p> 0.05) Conclusion: it is recommended to conduct larger studies to investigate he methods for reducing thirst and dry mouth in hemodialysis patients in order to improve the quality of life of these patients by controlling and preventing these complications.
