“…Mortality rate before delivery in pregnant women with gestational hypertension is five times higher than pregnant women with normal blood pressure (7). 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 (8). Although the main factor causing gestational diabetes is not known, some risk factors such as number of pregnancies, multiple pregnancy, being overweight, chronic kidney diseases, chronic hypertension, family history, new sex partner, the mother's young age, the mother's age being above 40, blood incompatibility, living in high altitude areas, and unsecure socio-economic status are considered to be effective in the development of gestational hypertension (9).…”

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.

“…End stage renal disease (ESRD) is a severe form of chronic renal disease associated with an irreversible reduction in renal function, which will cause death if not treated with dialysis or kidney implant (2,3). The most commonly used method for renal replacement in most patients is hemodialysis (4).More than 200,000 patients with chronic kidney failure in the United States account for more than one million people worldwide through dialysis (5,6). Dry mouth is a condition in which the saliva is not secreted sufficiently.…”

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.

“…In a study in France, testing fasting blood glucose and two hours after breakfast was considered to be the most accurate test. However, there is still no method that can diagnose the disease in pregnant women with certainty and quickly (8).Different studies have mentioned several risk factors for gestational diabetes. An awareness of these factors on the part of medical care personnel and increasing pregnant women's awareness of the risk factors can be an important step in decreasing the incidence of this disease.…”

Introduction: Along standing hypothesis is that individuals who are prone to frequent, large increases in blood pressure (BP) during psychological stress are at risk for developing essential hypertension. However, after many years of investigation, a clear understanding of the etiologic role of stress responses has not emerged. The impact of a diagnosis of GDM may lead to increased stress in pregnancy due to the demands of adherence to a treatment regimen and maternal concern about adverse outcomes for the mother and baby. studies indicates that the experience of GDM appears to be associated with increased psychological distress in comparison to the experience of non-diabetic pregnant women. This may indicate the need for psychological screening in GDM and the provision of psychological support in some cases. Materials and method: 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 stress, hypertention, gestational diabetes , pregnancy ,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 association of stress ,HTN and DM during pregnancy. Discussion: The persistence of the stressful factor destroys body resources and makes the person vulnerable against diseases and may cause physical disorders such as obesity, resistance to insulin, metabolic syndrome, gastrointestinal ulcers, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. Increased blood pressure is an important problem during pregnancy. Gestational hypertension and proteinuria are known as preeclampsia syndrome which occurs in 2-8% of pregnancies and is the direct cause of 10-15% of maternal mortalities in all countries with low, medium, and high incomes. Preeclampsia is related to preterm delivery, low weight of the baby at birth, intrauterine growth restriction, and fetus and infant mortalities. Measuring blood pressure is a common screening test in pre-delivery healthcare which is used to diagnose or predict the hypertension disease.

Orientation of the facet joints in degenerative rotatory lumbar scoliosis: an MR study on 52 patients

Abstract: Substantial asymmetries and abnormal orientations in facet joints were documented in patients with degenerative rotatory lumbar scoliosis. Such asymmetries may adversely affect neural foramen width.
