First-trimester plasma adiponectin values in women who later became hypertensive were significantly lower than those in women with normal pregnancies.
Pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction show an increased low-density lipoprotein susceptibility to oxidation, a process that may lead to placental dysfunction and growth delay.

Interpregnancy intervals shorter than 12 months and longer than 59 months are independently associated with increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes.
Pregnant women with cystic fibrosis have more peripheral and hepatic insulin resistance and more protein catabolism than pregnant controls.
In the appropriate patient, reclosure of the disrupted laparotomy wound is feasible and safe, with success in over 80%.
More than 150 years after anesthesia for childbirth was introduced, and the importance of hand hygiene was recognized, many have yet to internalize these advances.
