After 20 weeks or more of normal blood pressure during the pregnancy, patients with preeclampsia will begin to experience elevated blood pressure and may also have increased levels of protein in their urine due to hypertension reducing the filtering power of the kidneys. Prolonged hypertension due to preeclampsia can lead to organ damage and life-threatening complications for mothers and fetuses.]]> Sat, 02 Dec 2023 00:32:18 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3cIYkpKzAlOyV1cWWor9YPv https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3cIYkpKzAlOySlmFkX7M1Jw New research has revealed a previously unknown process through which pathogens are able to defeat a cell's defense mechanisms with physical force.

Their findings confirm that a moderate sunspot group triggered one of the largest magnetic storms ever recorded, almost covering the entire night sky with colourful aurorae in both hemispheres. If such an extreme storm occurred today, it would severely disrupt modern technological infrastructure.
