Maternal Serum Tumor Necrosis Factor Level in Women with Hyperemesis Gravidarum
...Show More Authors

Background: Between 0.3% and 2% of pregnant women experience hyperemesis gravidarum. It is recognized by persistent and unexplained vomiting and dehydration, and the diagnosis is confirmed by significant loss of weight, usually more than 5% of the pre-pregnancy weight. Tumor necrosis factor-α is a multipotent cytokine that affects a vast array of cells. It is now well accepted that the tumor necrosis factor-α is crucial in the very early stages of pregnancy.

Objectives: To assess the relationship between the tumor necrosis factor-α and hyperemesis gravidarum.

Methods: This case-control study was carried out at the Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Obstetrics and Gynecology Depa

Cancer remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Advances in cancer therapies—including immunotherapies (e.g., checkpoint inhibitors, gene-targeted therapies), antibody-based cancer toxins, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery—have significantly improved survival rates 1,2. However, this progress has led to a surge in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among cancer survivors, now recognised as a leading cause of mortality in this population 3,4. These intersecting burdens highlight the growing need to prevent, detect, and manage cardiovascular complications in cancer care pathways and call for important initiatives in establishing cardio-oncology services globally.
