This document provides an overview of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. It begins with an introduction stating that hypertensive disorders are a leading cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. It then covers the classification, diagnosis, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management of the main types of hypertensive disorders - gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, chronic hypertension, and preeclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension. Preeclampsia is described as a pregnancy-specific syndrome caused by reduced organ perfusion from vasospasm and endothelial dysfunction. The management of hypertensive disorders focuses on delivering the baby to resolve the condition, while controlling blood pressure and preventing seizures in severe preeclampsia
Sickle cell anemia is an autosome linked recessive trait that can be transmitted from parents to the offspring when
both the partners are carrier for the gene (or heterozygous). The disease is controlled by a single pair of allele, HbA
and HbS. Out of the three possible genotypes only homozygous individuals for HbS (HbS, HbS) show the diseased phenotype. The ability to predict the clinical course of SCD during pregnancy is difficult. It is mandatory to follow up the patient closely from the very beginning i.e. from preconception to antenatal till labor. SCD is associated with both maternal and fetal complications and is associated with an increased incidence of perinatal mortality, premature
labor, fetal growth restriction and acute painful crises during pregnancy.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

17. Etiology & pathogenesis
Etiology – Unknown
Known as disease of theory
Some of theories
• Abnormal trophoblast invasion
Coagulation Abnormalties
Vascular endothelial damage
Immunologic theory
Placental toxin theory……toxemia of pregnancy
Genetic predisposition
Dietary deficiencies ….calcium and antioxidant
deficiencies
18. Any theory has the following charactersitics
1. Exposed to chorionic villi for the first
time….nulliparous
2.Exposed to superabundance of chorionic villi…twins
and GTD
3.Preexisting condition of endothelial cell
activation/inflammation….DM/renal/
cardiovascular disease
4.Genetically predisposed to HTN developing during
pregnancy…family hx
20. Trophoblastic invasion of spiral arterioles leads to
the destruction of the muscularis layer which is
replaced by trophoblastic cells which do not
respond to the autonomic stimulation of blood
vessels; this ensures that there is a constant
uninterrupted blood flow to the intervillous space
21. According to the immunological theory, there is sufficient
similarity between paternal and maternal HLA antigens,
which prevents early fetal antigens from detection by the
maternal immune system
This leads to failure of production of blocking antibodies
early in gestation
As fetal antigens increase in amount later in gestation, the
maternal immune system responds by producing antibodies
that destroy placental trophoblasts
22. SYSTEMIC ENDOTHELIAL
DYSFUNCTION
All of the clinical features of preeclampsia can be
explained as maternal responses to generalized
endothelial dysfunction
Disturbed endothelial control of vascular tone causes
hypertension, increased vascular permeability results
in edema and proteinuria, and abnormal endothelial
expression of procoagulants leads to coagulopathy.
These changes also cause ischemia of target organs,
such as the brain, liver, kidney, and placenta.
23. Laboratory evidence supporting generalized
endothelial dysfunction in preeclamptic women
- Decreased production of endothelial-derived
vasodilators -nitric oxide and prostacyclin
- increased production of vasoconstrictors -endothelins
and thromboxanes.
- Enhanced vascular reactivity to angiotensin II
24. Organ
system
Pathology complication
CVS Generalized vasospasm; increased
afterload; left ventricular strain and
failure; microvascular endothelial
damage and fluid and protein leakage
•Hypertension
•Congestive heart failure
•Generalized edema
•Pulmonary edema
Hematolog
ic
Excessive consumption of platelets to
repair endothelial damage; RBC
damage as they pass through the
spastic arterioles
•Thrombocytopenia
•Microangiopathic
hemolytic anemia
Renal Decreased glomerular filtration rate
due to spasm; renal glomerulo
endotheliosis; renal tubular necrosis;
renal cortical necrosis in advanced
•Acute renal failure
•Proteinuria
•Hyperuricemia
Respirator
y
Pulmonary capillary endothelial
damage and leakage ( in addition to
hypoproteinemia due to proteinuria
and left ventricular failure)
Pulmonary edema
25. Organ
system
pathology complication
Gastrointes
tinal
Hepatocellular injury distal to vascular
spasm site; focal hemorrhages distal to
spasm site; coalescing focal
hemorrhages leading to large hematoma
collection under the Glisson’s capsule
•Hepatic failure
•Sub capsular hematoma
•Acute liver rupture
CNS Cerebral hypoxia due to vasospasm;
focal hemorrhages distal to the
vasospasm; secondary cerebral edema;
intracranial hemorrhages
•Eclampsia
•Hemorrhagic stroke
•Cerebral edema and
death due to coning
•Transient blindness –
retinal or cortical
HELLP
syndrome
Concomitant occurrence of
microangiopathic hemolysis;
thrombocytopenia and liver damage
features in a woman with preeclampsia
26. system pathology complication
Blood volume Due to generalized vasospasm,
there is contracture of the total
vascular space. The normal
increase in blood volume that
occurs during normal pregnancy
fails in preeclampsia. They tend
to have a contracted and overall
reduced blood volume
•Less tolerant to blood
loss at delivery with an
easy propensity to post
partum hemmorhage
with small amount of
blood loss
•Less tolerant to fluid
administration with a
propensity to develop
pulmonary edema
27. symptoms sign Diagnostic study
•Non severe preeclampsia
is asymptomatic
•Symptoms are late
features indicating severe
disease or imminent risk of
convulsions
•These symptoms include
headache, blurring of
vision, epigastric pain,
oliguria and generalized
body swelling
•Hypertension
•Generalized
edema/anasarca
•Excessive weight gain
•Exaggerated deep
tendon reflexes
•Proteinuria
•24 hour urine for
proteinuria
•Liver and renal function
tests
•Hematocrit
•Peripheral blood smear
for shistocytes
(fragmented RBC)
•Platelet count
•Serum uric acid
measurement
•Fetal well being studies
As preeclampsia is asymptomatic until it progresses to severe stages, detection
and diagnosis requires active screening of all pregnant women during antenatal
care. Routine blood pressure measurements, weight gain surveillance and check
for symptoms and proteinuria are performed to detect preeclampsia early.
