Correlation of Erythrocyte Distribution Width Values with Preeclampsia and Preeclampsia with Severity Criteria

Aim: To determine the correlation of the red cell distribution width values with pre-eclampsia and pre-eclampsia with severity criteria. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional, prospective study of patients who met the inclusion criteria in the period from August 2019 to August 2020. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t test and Spearman's correlation to calculate the dependence between the non-parametric variables, the value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: 9 patients with pre-eclampsia and 30 pre-eclampsia were obtained with severity criteria. There was no statistical difference when comparing the RDW of patients with pre-eclampsia and pre-eclampsia with severity criteria (p=0.226), in patients with systolic blood pressure values ≥160mmHg there was an increase in RDW levels (p=0.042) Objective: To determine the correlation of erythrocyte distribution width values with pre-eclampsia and pre-eclampsia with severity criteria. Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between increased RDW and systolic blood pressure values ≥160mmHg.

Preeclampsia is a multisystemic disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria, which occur for the first time after 20 weeks of gestation, it is one of the main causes of maternal morbidity and mortality and perinatal worldwide.1 Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy affect approximately 15% of pregnancies and represent 18% of maternal deaths in the world, in Mexico according to the Ministry of Health, the Preeclampsia accounts for up to 34% of all maternal deaths.2 Although it is characterized by alteration in the remodeling of the spiral arteries whose origin is an alteration in the invasion of the extravillous trophoblast, conditioning placental hypoperfusion that generates reactive oxygen species and cytokines pro-inflammatory,3 in such a way that chronic hypoperfusion of the maternal-fetal circulation could compromise the erythrocytes, this whose main function is the transport of oxygen, for which the erythrocyte distribution width (RDW) describes the percentage variation in the size of the erythrocytes, Values between 11% and 15% are generally considered normal. A value above this range indicates a heterogeneous population of erythrocytes, that is, increased RDW values are related to when there is excessive destruction of red blood cells or a deficit in its production.

 Resilience, Risk-Taking Behavior and Aggression among Female Volleyball Players – a Preliminary Study The aim of the current study is to investigate the level of risk-taking behavior, resilience and aggression in female volleyball players and the link between these psychological variables and coach’s performance ranking. A Romanian volleyball team ranked 7th out of 11 in the A1 league in the national championship (2022-2023 period) participated at the study. The Romanian adaptation of the Brief Resilience Scale, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski’s Stimulating and Instrumental Risk Questionnaire, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski's Aggression Questionnaire and Delphi method (evaluation of female volleyball players by coaches) were used. Analysis of the results reveals that athletes have a low level of perseverance (Go-Ahead factor), a low level of Foul play and a moderate to low level of assertiveness. Also, most athletes registered average or even low levels of resilience

 Chemo stratigraphic Profile of a Reservoir in Well “X” of Field “Y” Offshore Southern Gabon - Stephy Publishers In a bid to evaluate the elemental and mineralogical content of reservoir samples from the “X” well in the “Y” oil field offshore Southern Gabon, analyses were performed using XRD and XRF. The log view profile of the result inferred that Na, Mg, and Calcite were absent in the shallower series of the reservoir sandstones studied, this observation implies that they are soluble ions that had eroded and refer to warm and humid paleoclimate and a depositional environment that is arid, which corresponds to the continental crust as their source. The plot of Ti and FeO+Mg discriminate the deeper series of the reservoir sandstone samples from the shallower samples. The lower series showed heavier values which implies their origin from Oceanic Crust. These are also the pre-salt facies while the shallower series were more of continental origin and represent the post-salt facies. https:
