NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dynocardia, developer of ViTrack, the first-of-its-kind non-invasive, wearable blood pressure (BP) and heart monitor, and NYC Health + Hospitals, the nation's largest safety net health system, are partnering on a study of hypertensive diseases of pregnancy (HDP). The study will include at least 150 women who are pregnant or have recently given birth. The perinatal study addresses a long-standing unmet need for accurate and continuous BP for reliable diagnosis of HDP and for prediction and early detection of preeclampsia. The research is being funded by a $2.3M grant from the National Institute of Health's National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

Key Points: 
  • The research is being funded by a $2.3M grant from the National Institute of Health's National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).
  • HDP, a constellation of high BP disorders that may occur during pregnancy, affects both the mother and the child and is a leading cause of pregnancy-related complications and death globally.
  • While the risks posed by HDP have doubled over the past decade in the United States, the effects on the maternal population are not evenly distributed.
  • Moreover, pregnant women are even more vulnerable to these errors due to hemodynamic and vascular changes that occur during pregnancy.

Turkey: what to expect from Erdoğan, his ultranationalist alliance and their 'family values' pledges

Retrieved on: 
Donnerstag, Juni 1, 2023

Having first won power in 2003, Erdoğan has been able to extend his rule for a further five years by creating an alliance with ultranationalist parties.

Key Points: 
  • Having first won power in 2003, Erdoğan has been able to extend his rule for a further five years by creating an alliance with ultranationalist parties.
  • A key aspect of the next term is likely to be a hardline conservative agenda.
  • This is by no means a new part of Erdoğan’s programme, but it has intensified in the last few months.
  • The Erdoğan-led majority in parliament was propped up by another of AKP’s coalition partners, the ultranationalist Nationalist Movement party (MHP).

Rising anti-Syrian rhetoric

    • The whole campaign was marked by rising hostility against the 3.6 million Syrian refugees living in Turkey.
    • Syrians have already been targeted by violent protests that damaged Syrian-owned properties, as well as physical attacks and murders.
    • Even before the election Erdoğan vowed “to repatriate refugees” and talked about “resettling” one million Syrian refugees.

Ultranationalists grasp power

    • The increased power of the ultranationalist right and their rhetoric and ideas is also a threat to Turkey’s Kurdish minority.
    • Kurds have already experienced an increase in repression since Erdoğan adopted a more nationalistic and anti-minority policy direction in 2015.
    • Erdoğan returned to his attack on Demirtas in his election victory speech while the crowd chanted for the death penalty.
