Disease relevance of Toxemia

  • The higher two-hour plasma glucose levels were associated with a significant increase in the incidence of macrosomia (9.9, 15.5, and 27.5 percent in Groups A, B, and C, respectively), congenital abnormalities (0.7, 3.5, and 5.0 percent), and toxemia, cesarean section, or both (19.9, 25.9, and 40.0 percent) [1].
  • Elaboration of cytokines, including IL-6 and IFN-gamma, contribute to a cytokine storm formerly known as "toxemia." A more precise understanding of disease pathogenesis should provide targets for therapeutic intervention, to be used alone or in combination with inhibitors of variola virus replication [2].
  • Thus, 16beta-hydroxy - DHEA and 16-oxo-androstenediol probably do not play an important role in either low-renin essential hypertension or toxemia of pregnancy [3].
  • Intrauterine death was found to occur in association with maternal homeostatic alterations resulting from phenylketonuria and diabetes, and with maternal toxicity from toxemia of pregnancy, leukemia, burns, alcohol, aminopterin, isotretinoin, and possibly trimethadione [4].
  • The consumption of total lipids and cholesterol was significantly greater in all three trials by both the toxemia and edema groups [5].
 

High impact information on Toxemia

  • In order to intervene in TLR2-driven toxemia, we raised mAb's against the extracellular domain of TLR2 [6].
  • Experimental toxemia of pregnancy in the monkey, with a preliminary report on renin and aldosterone [7].
  • Diet-related toxemia in pregnancy. I. Fat, fatty acids, and cholesterol [5].
  • Serum concentrations of total and free thyroxine (T4 and FT4) and total and free triiodothyronine (T3 and FT3) were measured in normal pregnant women, in patients with toxemia of pregnancy, and in patients with gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) [8].
  • This CD69 assay might be used for initial detection of superantigens from S. aureus strains isolated in the context of staphylococcal toxemia or related chronic human diseases such as atopic dermatitis or Kawasaki syndrome [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Toxemia

  • Styrene exposure in a petrochemical industrial area was associated mainly with late toxemia and nephropathy [10].
  • The role of cadmium in the cause of preeclamptic toxemia remains unclear [11].
  • Hereditary protein C was diagnosed but full heparinization followed by low-dose heparin failed to prevent preeclamptic toxemia [12].
  • These data indicate that placental prostacyclin production is decreased in toxemia; therefore, this vasoactive prostaglandin may be involved in the causation and the associated hypertension and coagulation abnormalities of this disorder [13].
  • Abnormality in metabolism of 15N-labeled nitrate in toxemia [14].
 

Biological context of Toxemia

 

Anatomical context of Toxemia

  • Prostacyclin production rates in the amnion and chorion were not affected (p greater than 0.10) by toxemia [13].
  • Since toxemia of pregnancy may affect important metabolic, transport and hemodynamic functions of placentas, we have asked the question whether binding properties of human placental ANP receptors are changed in patients with severe toxemia of pregnancy when compared to normal patients [17].
  • For the SGA infants "preterm birth", "threatened premature labour", "green amniotic fluid" and "toxemia of pregnancy" were the most important risks relating to high creatine levels of red cells at birth [18].
 

Gene context of Toxemia

  • The frequencies of 8 HLA-A antigens, 21 HLA-B antigens, 10 HLA-DR antigens and 4 HLA-MT antigens were determined in 21 patients with toxemia and their husbands and some of their children, 45 fertile couples without a history of abnormal pregnancy and 206 healthy adult controls (DR were in 106 controls) [19].
  • In toxemia, SP1, hCG and PRL were elevated, while HPL and ET were very low [20].
  • Elevated serum PP5 concentrations were noted in patients whose pregnancies were complicated by toxemia of pregnancy with appropriate-for-date baby or by twin pregnancy [21].
  • In severe toxemia of pregnancy, decreases in extrinsic coagulation factors, platelet, antithrombin III, plasminogen, alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor, and increases in soluble fibrin-monomer complex, fibrin degradation products, beta-thromboglobulin were observed [22].
  • In toxemia of pregnancy, the relative amounts of apoprotein CII, an activator of lipoprotein lipase, and CIII, an inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase, in serum were similar to those in normal pregnancy, but those in VLDL decreased significantly [23].
