Toxemia in pregnancy, now called preeclampsia, is a condition characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine that affects 3-8% of pregnancies. It can threaten the health of the mother and baby. Symptoms include swelling, headaches, vision changes, and abdominal pain. Risk factors include first pregnancies, obesity, chronic high blood pressure, and a family history of preeclampsia. Treatment focuses on delivering the baby to resolve the condition, with close monitoring until then. Untreated preeclampsia can lead to serious maternal complications like seizures or organ damage and threaten the baby's growth and development.
Cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) is a pregnancy complication that may interferes with vaginal delivery; making it dangerous or impossible and requires caeserean section.

What is Eclampsia?
Eclampsia in Pregnancy is a rare but severe medical condition that can occur during
pregnancy or shortly after childbirth. It is typically a progression of preeclampsia, another
serious pregnancy complication. Preeclampsia involves elevated blood pressure and organ
damage, particularly to the liver and kidneys. In contrast, eclampsia is identified by the
occurrence of seizures in women who are pregnant or have recently given birth and are
already dealing with preeclampsia
Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy refer to a group of conditions characterized by high blood pressure during pregnancy, which can include gestational hypertension (high blood pressure that develops after 20 weeks of pregnancy) and preeclampsia (a more severe form of hypertension that can also cause protein in the urine and changes in liver function). These conditions can be serious for both the mother and the baby and may require close monitoring and management. Treatment options may include medications to lower blood pressure, as well as close monitoring of the mother and baby to ensure their health and well-being.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

2. Toxemia in Pregnancy-a condition in which the
blood contains toxins produced by body cells at a
local source of infection or derived from the growth
of microorganisms. Also called blood poisoning.
-an outdated medical term for hypertension
with proteiniuria during pregnancy.
-it is a serious condition and may affect the
pregnant woman during the second half of
pregnancy. It can affect 3% out of 8% of pregnant.
3. Signs and Symptoms of Preeclampsia
Edema-one of the common symptom of toxemia involves
swelling in hands and face ,including the area of the face .
But many pregnant woman experience edema without
having preeclampsia.
Sudden Weight Gain-it is a sudden weight gain that
amounts to more than 2lbs.in a single week.
Vision Problems-sudden visual problems. The severity of
this symptoms can range from blurry spots to the
temporary loss of vision .Sudden changes in eyesight can
signal the presence of swelling in the brain.
4. High Blood Pressure – sudden or gradual increase of
Blood Pressure if B/P 140/90 or more than 20 weeks.
Upper Abdominal Pain-main experience painful
sensation in their upper abdomen. Watch for discomfort
or pain that seems to come from under your ribcage,
particularly on the right side. This may seem to extend
into shoulder.
Proteinuria - excessive protein in urine. Damage vessels
in kidneys cause protein from blood to leak into urine.
Decrease in urine output and changes in the color of
urine. Dark urine , reddish urine.
Headache-frequent bouts of throbbing headaches
(migraine-like)that don’t seem to go away. Specially
when you already had taken OTC medication.
5. Rapid Heart Beat,Difficulty in breating , Mental
confusion.
6. Causes of Toxemia in Pregnancy(who are at risk
for Preeclampsia?)
woman in their pregnancy
woman carrying multiple fetus
woman over 40 years old
diagnosed of high blood pressure
teenage mother younger 20 years old
maternal history of preeclampsia and
woman eating disorder
7. Medical discription
Uterine ischemia
Inflammation
Angiologies
Prostacyclin/tromboxa
ne imbalance(ASA)
Insuficient blood flow to the
uterus.
Excessive maternal inflammatory
response to pregnancy.
Factors regulating the formation
of new blood vessels in the
placenta are over produced which
in turn affect the blood vessels
health in the mother leading to
hypertension or kidney damage.
Disruption of balance of
hormones that maintain the
diameter of the blood vessels.
Theories of cause of preeclampsia
8. Endothelial activation
and Dysfunction
Calcium defeciency
Hemodynamic vascular
injury
Damage to the lining of the
blood vessels that keeps blood
from clothing and regulates
elasticity of the blood vessels.
Calcium helps maintain blood
vessels normal blood pressure
deficiency may lead to
increases blood pressure.
Injury to the blood vessels
due to excessive blood flow or
pressure.
9. Existing maternal
condition
Immunological
activation
The mother has undiagnosed
high blood pressure or other
pre-existing problems such as
diabetes, lupus sickle cell
disorder , hyperthyroidism ,
kidney disorder.
The mothers immune system
mistakenly responds as if
damage has occured to the
blood vessels , and trying to
fix the “injury” actually makes
the problem worse.
10. Nutritional deficiencies
Obesity
Genetic tendency
Insuficient protein ,
excessive protein, fish
oil, vit.D and other diet
factor.
Hereditary
transmission.
11. How can affect the mother?
-Eclampsia is a severe it leads to seizures in the
mother.
-HELLP syndrome –(hemolysis , elevated liver
enzymes , and low platelete count)
-it is usually occuring late in pregnancy that affects
the breakdown of red blood cells , how the blood
clots , and liver function for the pregnant woman.
12. How preeclampsia affect the baby?
-prematurity-Intrauterine Growth Restriction(IUGR)-
reduce blood flow to the placenta restricts the supply of
food to the baby and result in a shortage of food result
malnourished an IUGR or SGA.
-acidosis –the baby survives in the womb by receiving
nutrients and oxygen through the placenta. Preeclampsia
compromises' the placenta and the baby’s body begins to
restrict blood flow to its limbs , kidney and stomach in an
effort to preserve the vital supply to the brain and heart.
Should baby's oxygen reserve become depleted the baby's
body can extract energy from its fuel supplies without
oxygen . However process generates lactic acid . If too
much lactic acid build up the baby develop acidosis
become unconscious and stop moving.
13. Death Stillbirths from eclampsia , babies die in utero
after 20 weeks of gestation
Ongoing life challenges – preeclampsia has been linked
to a host of lifelong challenges for infants born
prematurely among them learning , disorder, cerebral
palsy, epilepsy, blindness and deafness comes the risk of
extended hospitalization , SGA interruption of bonding
in families.
- very high blood pressure affect the baby from
getting enough blood and oxygen .This could limit yours
baby's growth or cause the placenta to pull away to soon
from uterus.It also called lead to death.
14. How to prevent preeclampsia?
use little or no added salt
6-8 glasses of water everyday
Don’t eat a lot of fried foods and junk foods
Get enough rest
Avoid drinking alcohol
Avoid beverages containing alcohol.
Use of stress reductions techniques and medications
prescribed as needed
This is usually done if the pregnancy has done past 34
weeks of AOG.37 weeks fetus ensure has the optimum
chance of survival , because 37 weeks fetus is considered
full term.
15. How Treated ?
Rest , lying on your left side the weight of baby of
your major blood vessels
Increase prenatal-checkup
Consume less salt
Change diet to induce more protein
