Preventing gestational diabetesAs with gestational hypertension, there is some evidence that dietary and exercise interventions prior to pregnancy may reduce a woman's risk of developing gestational diabetes.47Treatment and managementTreatment for women with gestational diabetes is designed to normalize fetal growth and birth weight in order to minimize maternal and neonatal trauma or TAG Heuer Aquaracer Quartz TH-3 at delivery53 Treatment may include medication, support from diabetes educators and nutritionists, and increased surveillance, although the effectiveness of these interventions is unclear.43 Nutrition recommendations are similar for all pregnant women, including those with gestational diabetes.53 There is emerging evidence that oral agents such as glyburide and metformin are safe and effective for controlling

diabetes during pregnancy,54 and these medicines may be less expensive, easier to administer to patients, and easier to store than insulin - important advantages for developing- country contexts.55Preventing type 2 TAG Heuer Aquaracer TH-102 women with gestational diabetes, postpartum screening for type 2 diabetes at six weeks or more after delivery, at one year postpartum, and every three years afterward is recommended.47,56 The TAG Heuer Aquaracer TH-103 of gestational diabetes is so broad that previously undetected type 2 diabetes may be missed, making follow-up care even more important.49

It may also be possible to prevent or slow progression to type 2 diabetes among women with gestational diabetes.46,47 For example, breastfeeding has also been associated with reduced blood glucose levels and reduced incidence of type 2 diabetes (as well as TAG Heuer Ayrton Senna Link Quartz Chronograph TH-23 disease) for women.47,57 Children who are breastfed may also have lower rates of type 2 diabetes.58 Another study found that people at risk for developing type 2 diabetes who began exercising regularly and eating mainly fruits, vegetables, lentils, and whole grains decreased their risk substantially.

 

The following topics are based on a review of currently available evidence. As more knowledge and experience with chronic diseases in developing countries accumulates, there maybe important implications for safe abortion, infertility, and TAG Heuer Aquaracer Quartz TH-3 transmitted infections, for example, which are not addressed in detail here.Hypertension in pregnancyHypertensive disorders are the most common medical complication of pregnancy and a major cause of maternal mortality. They are estimated to affect about 10% of pregnant women worldwide.26 Nearly 10% of maternal deaths in Africa and Asia, and more than one- quarter in Latin America and the Caribbean, are due to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy26

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy include:* Chronic hypertension (generally defined as a blood pressure measurement of 140/90 mm Hg or more) experienced during pregnancy.* Gestational hypertension, TAG Heuer Aquaracer TH-102 is hypertension that develops after 20 weeks of gestation without proteinuria.* Preeclampsia, which is a multi- organ disease characterized by development of hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks gestation.TAG Heuer Aquaracer TH-103 who experience chronic hypertension during pregnancy, gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia are at greater risk for perinatal morbidity and mortality as well as intrauterine growth retardation and low-birthweight infants.27 In severe cases, preeclampsia may progress to eclampsia and cause maternal death by cerebral hemorrhage.

Research from African countries shows that the majority of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy involve women with gestational hypertension or preeclampsia, rather than chronic hypertension.28 Although neither gestational hypertension nor preeclampsia are chronic conditions, they have been associated with cardiovascular disease and risk factors later in life.29,30ScreeningClassifying hypertensive disorders of pregnancy can be challenging due to varying opinions on correct patient position for blood pressure measurement and other factors.31 In addition to blood pressure screening and urine tests for proteinuria, TAG Heuer Ayrton Senna Link Quartz Chronograph TH-23 for preeclampsia can include identification of the following risk factors: previous history of preeclampsia, history of chronic hypertension, age 35 and older, obesity, diabetes, and family history of preeclampsia.26,32,33 Work is under way to identify biomarkers for preeclampsia,34 although it will likely be necessary to develop specific tools for low-resource settings. Detecting hypertensive disorders of pregnancy will be more likely in settings where women can make multiple antenatal visits.

 

Patterns of chronic diseases also vary within countries, although high-quality subnational data are still hard to find (see box, page 5, "Data sources for select chronic diseases and risk factors"). Urban populations overall are more likely to TAG Heuer Aquaracer Automatic TH-93 affected by cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity than rural populations, as are higher- wealth quintiles. This maybe changing in some places, however (and has already changed in most developed countries). A recent analysis found that obesity trends are shifting toward the poor in developing countries.12 The 2007 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) in Ukraine, one of the few to include data on hypertension, showed higher rates among rural than urban women and among women in lowerwealth quintiles.13 A similar pattern by wealth status was reported in a WHO study of rural Vietnam.14

Assumptions that chronic diseases affect mainly older populations and men should also be reconsidered in most settings. According to one estimate, 44% of all premature deaths worldwide are due to chronic disease,15 and TAG Heuer Aquaracer Chronograph TH-97 majority of disability due to chronic disease occurs in those between the ages of 30 and 59 years.1 Figure 1 demonstrates that chronic diseases cause a substantial number of deaths among women aged 15 to 44 years in many countries; the authors ofthat analysis go so far as to say that "cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes are the important causes of female death even TAG Heuer Aquaracer Quartz Chronograph TH-49 childb earing years and for women with young families."16 Additionally, rates of cardiovascular disease and diabetes are roughly equal in men and women worldwide, and rates of obesity and overweight are notably higher in women than in men in many countries (Table I).11,17

Addressing chronic diseases in developing countriesAddressing the growing chronic disease burden will require building on or modifying existing approaches and systems for low- and middle -income settings as well as developing novel approaches. One of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Quartz Chronometer TH-80 and most important tools will be high-quality information on the risk factor profile of the population to help focus policy and programming.1 Some currently available data sources on chronic diseases and risk factors are highlighted in the box on page 5. For examples of approaches to addressing chronic diseases in developing countries, see the box on page 6.

 

Breakfast expert Martyn Nail, executive chef at Claridge's, who cooks around 6500 eggs each week - over one third of a million a year - is sharing his expert tips to troubleshoot common problems people have when cooking with TAG Heuer Aquaracer Automatic TH-93.Mr Nail said: "Eggs are a popular choice when earing out or at weekends, but people believe they lack the skills to enjoy them as a quick breakfast during the week. The great news for amateur chefs is that eggs can be quick and easy or can be dressed up to impress. Not only are they tasty, but healthy too."He has also devised a selection of seven breakfast egg recipes, one for each day of the week, each as good as restaurant food, but quick and easy enough to make at home.

According to one estimate, 44% of all premature deaths worldwide are due to chronic disease,15 and the majority of disability due to chronic disease occurs in those between the ages of 30 and 59 years.1 Figure 1 TAG Heuer Aquaracer Chronograph TH-97 that chronic diseases cause a substantial number of deaths among women aged 15 to 44 years in many countries; the authors ofthat analysis go so far as to say that cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes are the important causes of female death even during childb earing years and for women with young families. Currently, 80% of deaths from chronic disease occur in low- TAG Heuer Aquaracer Quartz Chronograph TH-49 middle-income countries, where people develop these diseases at younger ages, suffer longer, and die sooner.1 Chronic diseases have been defined as illnesses that are preventable, prolonged, unlikely to resolve spontaneously, and impossible to cure completely.2

This issue of Outlook discusses the emerging chronic disease burden in terms of likely challenges and opportunities for reproductive health, with a focus on cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and the risk factor of obesity This TAG Heuer Aquaracer Quartz Chronometer TH-80 was identified due to clear relationships with reproductive health (e.g., hypertension and diabetes in pregnancy, contraceptive choice for women with cardiovascular conditions and risk factors). Additionally, these conditions represent large burdens of ongoing illness: an estimated 246 million people in the developing world are living with diabetes, and around 1 billion are living with hypertension.3 Finally, this focus represents less redundancy with ongoing initiatives in other areas (e.g., cancer and reproductive health,* tobacco control), and therefore, more opportunities for new thinking.

I just had a chance to sit down and read through the September issue of The Cattleman. I like to tear out articles that I know will be good for referencing at a later time, but as I was dog-earing those I wanted to keep, I found that I was dog-earing pretty much the whole magazine! I'm just filing the whole thing away with a sticky on top as to what's inside. Great issue! The article by John R. Meyer, "Lessons from TAG Heuer Formula 1 Quartz TH-24 Bighorn Sheep" (August 2008), was interesting and informative. Giving back to nature what we have taken is good. The size of a water collecting guzzler is incorrectly indicated. In reference to the size, the wording should be foot square, not square foot. The photos and mathematics point to this. One inch of water in an area of one square foot is .623 gallon as stated.
