Abstract

Purpose

To investigate DNA methylation changes in peripheral blood from patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preeclampsia (PE) due to poorly treated GDM.

Methods

Eighteen pregnant women participated in the study: 6 with GDM, 6 with PE, and 6 healthy controls. The promoter methylation status of genes was profiled using the Human Inflammatory Response and Autoimmunity EpiTect Methyl II Signature PCR Array profiles. The results were validated with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

Results

Fewer inflammation-related genes were significantly hypomethylated in PE cases compared to healthy subjects than in GDM cases. Some of the examined genes show different methylation patterns between GDM and PE.

Conclusions

The epigenetic changes observed in this study indicate that GDM and PE exhibit specific DNA methylation profiles, with possible clinical applications.

Antibiotika bei Bakteriämie – 7 versus 14 Tage

  • 21.01.2025
  • Sepsis
  • Nachrichten

Eine Bakteriämie lässt sich mit einer einwöchigen Antibiotikatherapie zumeist gut in den Griff bekommen: Die Sterberate ist nicht höher als unter zweiwöchiger Behandlung, zeigt eine Vergleichsstudie mit hospitalisierten Erkrankten. Allerdings muss die Therapie bei fast jedem Vierten verlängert werden.

"Die Erektionsstörung ist keine isolierte Erkrankung"

Werden Erektionsstörungen gut behandelt (und das ist möglich), steigt die Lebensqualität enorm. Tipps für eine gute Kommunikation mit den Patienten gibt Androloge Dr. med. Jann-Frederik Cremers in dieser Folge. Welche Fragen sollten gestellt und an welche Ursachen gedacht werden? Und was ist zu tun, wenn PDE-5-Hemmer und Lebensstilveränderungen nicht ausreichend wirken?

Lp(a) zur Risikoeinschätzung bei Thoraxschmerzen

Der Lp(a)-Wert kann dazu beitragen, bei stabilen Patienten mit neu aufgetretenen Thoraxschmerzen und ohne KHK-Diagnose die Wahrscheinlichkeit für das Vorliegen von Koronarstenosen abzuschätzen.

Finerenon bei eGFR-Verlust nicht gleich absetzen!

Der Mineralokortikoid-Rezeptor-Antagonist Finerenon verbessert die Prognose bei Herzinsuffizienz mit leicht reduzierter oder erhaltener Ejektionsfraktion. Ein Rückgang der eGFR zu Beginn der Therapie scheint diese Wirkung nicht wesentlich zu mindern.
