What term describes chronic hypertension caused by a different medical problem?
secondary hypertension
What is the medical term meaning spontaneous or induced termination of pregnancy?
Abortion is the medical term meaning sponaneous or induced termination of pregnancy. What is commonly known as a miscarriage is called a spontaneous abortion in medical terminology. An induced abortion is commonly called an abortion in lay language.
What is the difference between pulmonary hypertension and regular hypertension?
Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessel, and is one of the principal vital signs. Arterial hypertension or hypertension or high BP can be an indicator of other problems and may have long-term adverse effects. Sometimes it can be an acute problem, for example hypertensive emergency. Types of hypertension usually are primary and secondary, in that alcohol induced, medication induced, pregnancy induced, isolated systolic, isolated diastolic, white coat hypertension (BP due to stress) and malignant hypertension or hypertension emergency are present. In medicine, pulmonary hypertension (PH or PHT) is an increase in blood pressure in the pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, or pulmonary capillaries, together known as the lung vasculature, leading to SOB, dizziness, fainting, and other symptoms, all of which are exacerbated by exertion. Pulmonary hypertension can be a severe disease with a markedly decreased exercise tolerance and heart failure. So both are different terms.
What is the medical term meaning premature termination of pregnancy before embryo or fetus is able to exist on its own?
Miscarriage or abortion (if induced).
What is the medical term meaning stopping pregnancy?
The medical terminology for stopping pregnancy is abortion. In medical terminology, abortion refers to both miscarriage ("spontaneous abortion") and "induced abortion" (deliberate ending of a pregnancy). There are only 3 ways to end a pregnancy; abortion, miscarriage or childbirth.
What is the main diagnostic term for malignant hypertension with stage III kidney disease?
hypertension
What is it called when you miscarry 3times in a row?
Habitual abortion. There are spontaneous abortions (miscarriages) and therapeutic abortions (induced by someone and some means). If you have multiple miscarriages, the term habitual abortion is used to indicate a problem carrying a pregnancy, and does not imply induced abortion.
Which term means high pressure?
Hypertension
What is the etiology of Pregnancy induced hypertension?
In the first, the initiating cause results in the placenta producing factors (e.g., specific proteins, placental "debris") that enter the maternal circulation and are believed responsible for producing the next stage. This is the second stage, which results in the overt maternal "disease" (high blood pressure, kidney, liver and coagulation abnormalities). The overt disease depends not only on the action of the circulating factors from the placenta, but also the health of the mother, including diseases that may affect the vasculature (such as preexisting cardiovascular, renal, metabolic, and genetic factors; and obesity).A promising area of recent research involves the role of proteins produced by the placenta that inhibit angiogenesis (the production of new blood vessels). Two of these "antiangiogenic factors" (soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase-1, and soluble endoglin) have been shown to produce a preeclampsia like disease in rodents. Their concentrations rise in the mother's circulation weeks to months before the disease manifests. Placentas of women destined to develop preeclampsia overproduce these proteins that then enter the mother's circulation. Neutralizing their actions is now being investigated in animal models, and in some studies has reversed the disease in rodents. . Excitement regarding these interventions is tempered by a limited understanding of the functional role of antiangiogenic substances in normal pregnancy.If the ability of these antiangiogenic proteins to cause preeclampsia is confirmed by research in humans, why the placenta overproduces them remains unknown. Hence, many of the other areas of investigation mentioned above may be important. Preeclampsia may have multiple causes, and other leads are being investigated, including prostaglandins, digoxin-like molecules, immunological mechanisms, autoantibodies that trigger receptors that lead to vessel constriction (agonistic autoantibodies to the angiotensin 1 receptor), oxidative stress, mitochondrial pathology, the impact of hypertension and prehypertension on endovascular health, and genes sensitive to low oxygen environments.
What is the medical term meaning Blood pressure?
Hypertension
How many weeks are there in a pregnancy?
The average pregnancy goes 40 weeks after the last period, or 38 weeks after conception. Pregnancy is generally measured after the woman's last period. There are cases of premature babies, born in any week of the pregnancy. There are cases of the pregnancy continuing another week or two after 40 weeks. It depends on the woman and her baby.You are considered full term at 37+ weeks and may go into labor anytime. If you are still pregnant at 40 weeks your doctor will assess you and decide if they think you will need to be induced. Some women are pregnant for 42 weeks and have to be induced.40
