Presentation
Preeclampsia is defined as a syndrome (a pattern of clinical features) and is probably heterogeneous in its origin as it is in its presentation. [eurekaselect.com]
Examples include: Choriocarcinoma Hydatidiform mole Mechanism[edit] In placental disease, there’s abnormalities present within the spiral arties of the uterus, where the terminal part of the spinal arteries does not dilate. [en.wikipedia.org]
The host implantation site may also develop decidual changes. Tubal pregnancy is the most common cause of hematosalpinx (blood-filled fallopian tube) and should always be suspected when a tubal hematoma is present. 12. [slideshare.net]
Both mother and baby benefit from the team’s coordinated care, since Packard Children’s neonatologists are present at the birth to receive the baby and move him or her to the NICU if needed. [med.stanford.edu]
A variability in the pre‐eclampsia ‘phenotypes’ in mothers is largely due to disease presenting in women with varying underlying vascular risk factors. [obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Protein S Deficiency
Moreover, a functional protein S deficiency can explain a poor response to activated protein C ( Dahlbäck, Carlsson & Svensson, 1993 ). [peerj.com]
Workup
Diagnostic tests and imaging studies are often unnecessary in the workup of a superficial, benign skin lesion such as pilomatrixoma. However, tests are sometimes done to exclude the diagnosis of malignancy or to determine the depth of a lesion. [jamanetwork.com]
Recent data show the protective role of heme oxygenase 1 and its metabolite, carbon monoxide, in pregnancy, and identify this as a potential target in the treatment of pre-eclampsia.20 Clinical presentation and workup findings Clinical and laboratory [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Currently, there is no adequate treatment for PE, mainly because its multifactorial pathophysiology remains incompletely understood. [ingentaconnect.com]
[…] of the condition Your opinion or preference There is no treatment to change the position of the placenta. [chop.edu]
These experiments are likely to provide fundamental new insights in placental physiology and neurodevelopment, help redefine disorders such as cerebral palsy, autism and schizophrenia as disorders of the placenta and open new avenues to theraputic treatments [grantome.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis Prognosis after surgical removal is excellent, but reports have shown a very low recurrence rate in some cases. Patients and their family should be aware that any new lesions should be evaluated appropriately. [eyewiki.aao.org]
In most cases, the tumors do not grow back (recur) after surgery, unless the removal was incomplete. [2] [1] Last updated: 1/23/2015 The long-term outlook ( prognosis ) for people with an isolated (without other signs and symptoms) pilomatrixoma is usually [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Etiology
As the complete etiology of preeclampsia is still unknown, researches are crucial in order to know more about this pathophysiology and to develop different treatments and prediction approaches. [eurekaselect.com]
This book gathers the latest knowledge in relation with the etiology, diagnosis, treatment and also the authors personal experience in more than 500 cases. [degruyter.com]
Manifestation code identifies conditions for which it is important to record both the etiology and the symptom of the disease. [books.google.de]

A failure in deep trophoblast invasion and incomplete spiral artery remodelling is perceived as the initial step in the pathophysiologic cascade leading to hypertension, proteinuria and associated maternal and/or fetal adverse events such as eclampsia [obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
If we are to institute treatments to ameliorate, or ideally prevent, the consequences of poor placentation, then an understanding of the pathophysiology in the first trimester is necessary," explained Dr. [sciencedaily.com]
Prevention
You can't prevent placental abruption, but you can decrease certain risk factors. [mayoclinic.org]
Associative prevention mechanisms can be a method of minimising the risk of developing the disease, within early stages of pregnancy. [en.wikipedia.org]
"Early lifestyle modifications, treatment with appropriate medications and routine follow-up may improve the cardiovascular profile of these patients and help prevent or reduce future poor pregnancy outcomes." [sciencedaily.com]
