Brachial Artery Flow Mediated Dilation in the First Trimester to Predict the Occurrence of Hypertensive Disorders during Pregnancy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:To improve neonatal outcomes in pregnancies at heightened risk for early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS), there is a need to identify fetuses that benefit from expectant management as opposed to early delivery. Detectable haptoglobin and haptoglobin-related protein (Hp&HpRP switch-on status) in cord blood has b...
