Abstract
An objective and validated index of nausea and vomiting such as the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis (PUQE) and HyperEmesis Level Prediction (HELP) tools can be used to classify the severity of NVP and HG. [Grade C] Ketonuria is not an indicator of dehydration and should not be used to assess severity. [Grade A] There are safety and efficacy data for first line antiemetics such as anti (H1) histamines, phenothiazines and doxylamine/pyridoxine (Xonvea®) and they should be prescribed initially when required for NVP and HG (Appendix III). [Grade A] There is evidence that ondansetron is safe and effective. Its use as a second line antiemetic should not be discouraged if first line antiemetics are ineffective. Women can be reassured regarding a very small increase in the absolute risk of orofacial clefting with ondansetron use in the first trimester, which should be balanced with the risks of poorly managed HG. [Grade B] Metoclopramide is safe and effective and can be used alone or in combination with other antiemetics. [Grade B] Because of the risk of extrapyramidal effects metoclopramide should be used as second-line therapy. Intravenous doses should be administered by slow bolus injection over at least 3 minutes to help minimise these. [Grade C] Women should be asked about previous adverse reactions to antiemetic therapies. If adverse reactions occur, there should be prompt cessation of the medications. [GPP] Normal saline (0.9% NaCl) with additional potassium chloride in each bag, with administration guided by daily monitoring of electrolytes, is the most appropriate intravenous hydration. [Grade C] Combinations of different drugs should be used in women who do not respond to a single antiemetic. Suggested antiemetics for UK use are given in Appendix III. [GPP] Thiamine supplementation (either oral 100 mg tds or intravenous as part of vitamin B complex (Pabrinex®)) should be given to all women admitted with vomiting, or severely reduced dietary intake, especially before administration of dextrose or parenteral nutrition. [Grade D] All therapeutic measures should have been tried before considering termination of pregnancy. [Grade C].

Abstract
Disturbances in lipid metabolism and dysbiosis of the gut microbiota play an important role in the progression of hyperlipidemia. Previous study indicated that Ilicis Rotundae Cortex possesses anti-hyperlipidemic activity, and rotundic acid (RA) identified as a key active compound to be incorporated into the body. The study aimed to evaluate the anti-hyperlipidemia effects of RA and explored its impact on gut microbiota and lipid metabolism, as well as its possible mechanisms for improving hyperlipidemia. The study methodology included a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of RA on steatosis markers of hyperlipidemia, lipid metabolism, and gut microbiota by assessing biochemical parameters and histopathology, lipidomics, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) assays. The results showed that RA effectively reduced body weight and the steatosis markers in serum and liver. Moreover, the lipidomic analysis revealed significant changes in plasmatic and hepatic lipid levels, and these were restored by RA. According to the results of 16S rRNA gene sequencing, RA supplementation raised the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria while decreasing the relative abundance of Firmicutes. RA significantly boosted the relative abundance of SCFAs by increasing SCFAs-producing bacteria such as Bacteroides, Alloprevotella, Desulfovibrio, etc. In summary, RA could regulate triglyceride metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism, restore gut microbiota structure, and increase the relative abundance of SCFAs-producing bacteria to exert its hypolipidemic effects. These findings suggest RA to be a promising therapeutic agent for hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
Background Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), a severe form of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP), is a leading indication for hospitalization in the first trimester. NVP and HG are associated with Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection in non-United States cohorts. How HP exposure and NVP interact to affect metabolic disturbance and pregnancy outcomes is not known. Materials and Methods We designed a retrospective cohort study relating HP and NVP to serum electrolyte laboratory results, preterm delivery, and infant birth weight. Single academic institution discovery and independent multi-institutional validation cohorts included pregnant subjects with an HP test result. Associations of HP, NVP, and pregnancy outcomes were assessed with odds ratio calculations, Student's t-tests, and multivariate logistic regression. Results Among subjects with positive HP test results, the prevalence of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) was 0.025 (66 of 2671) and NVP was 0.27 (710 of 2671). Subjects with negative HP had prevalence of HG 0.015 (165 of 10,960) and NVP 0.22 (2392 of 10,960). History of HP exposure increased risk of NVP, including HG (odds ratio 1.3, 95% CI 1.1-1.4). Patients with HP exposure had lower serum potassium (mean difference 0.1 mEq/L) and bicarbonate (mean difference 0.3 mEq/L) during pregnancy than HP-negative patients (p < 0.01). Serum potassium was lowest in subjects with both NVP and HP exposure (mean 3.5 mEq/L [3.4-3.6], p < 0.0001). HP exposure alone carried increased risk for preterm delivery (OR 1.3 [1.1-1.4]). NVP alone increased risk of preterm delivery (OR 2.8 [2.5-3.1]) including second trimester delivery (OR 2.2 [1.7-2.8]). In multivariate analysis, HP exposure in the setting of NVP further increased risk of preterm delivery (adjusted OR 1.4 [1.0-1.9], p = 0.03). Conclusions H. pylori exposure and diagnosis of NVP are individually associated with metabolic disturbances and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm labor and delivery, and their combination further increases risk in US populations.

Determinants of hyperemesis gravidarum among pregnant women attending antenatal care at public and private hospitals in Bahir Dar City, North-West Ethiopia, 2022: a multicenter unmatched case control study. BMC Womens Health 2023; 23:225. [PMID: 37138281 PMCID: PMC10157961 DOI: 10.1186/s12905-023-02386-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyperemesis gravidarum is a severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy characterized by more than 5% weight loss and ketonuria. Although there are cases in Ethiopia, there is still insufficient information regarding the determinant factors of hyperemesis gravidarum.This finding helps to decrease maternal as well as fetal complications of hyperemesis gravidarum by early identification of pregnant mothers who are at high risk. This study aimed to assess determinants of hyperemesis gravidarum among pregnant women attending antenatal care at public and private hospitals in Bahir Dar, North-West Ethiopia, 2022. METHOD A multicenter, facility-based, unmatched case-control study was conducted on 444 pregnant women (148 cases and 296 controls) from January 1 to May 30. Women with a documented diagnosis of hyperemesis gravidarum on the patient chart were considered as cases, and women who attended antenatal care service without hyperemesis gravidarum were assigned as controls. Cases were selected using a consecutive sampling technique, whereas controls were selected using systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire. The data were entered into EPI-Data version 3 and exported into SPSS version 23 for analysis. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify determinants of hyperemesis gravidarum at a p-value of less than 0.05. An adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to determine the direction of association. RESULTS Living in urban (AOR = 2.717, 95% CI : 1.693,4.502), primigravida (AOR = 6.185, 95% CI: 3.135, 12.202), first& second trimester of pregnancy (AOR = 9.301, 95% CI: 2.877,30.067) & (AOR = 4.785, 95% CI: 1.449,15.805) respectively, family history of hyperemesis gravidarum (AOR = 2.929, 95% CI: 1.268,6.765), helicobacter pylori (AOR = 4.881, 95% CI: 2.053, 11.606) & Depression (AOR = 2.195, 95% CI: 1.004,4.797) were found to be determinants of hyperemesis gravidarum. CONCLUSION Living in an urban area, primigravida woman, being in the first and second trimester, having family history of hyperemesis gravidarum, Helicobacter pylori infection, and having depression were the determinants of hyperemesis gravidarum. Primigravid women, those living in urban areas, and women who have a family history of hyperemesis gravidarum should have psychological support and early treatment initiation if they develop nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Routing screening for Helicobacter pylori infection and mental health care for a mother with depression at the time of preconception care may decreases hyperemesis gravidarum significantly during pregnancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Knowledge gaps regarding hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) are substantial. We aimed to systematically identify and map recent evidence addressing the top 10 priority questions for HG, as published in 2021 in a James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership. DESIGN Systematic evidence map. METHODS We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE on 12 January 2021 and CINAHL on 22 February 2021 with search terms hyperemesis gravidarum, pernicious vomiting in pregnancy and their synonyms. Results were limited to 2009 onwards. Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts to assess whether the studies addressed a top 10 priority questions for HG. Differences were discussed until consensus was reached. Publications were allocated to one or more top 10 research questions. Study design was noted, as was patient or public involvement. Two reviewers extracted data synchronously and both cross-checked 10%. Extracted data were imported into EPPI-Reviewer software to create an evidence map. OUTCOME MEASURES The number and design of studies in the search yield, displayed per the published 10 priority questions. RESULTS Searches returned 4338 results for screening; 406 publications were included in the evidence map. 136 publications addressed multiple questions. Numerous studies address the immediate and long-term outcomes or possible markers for HG (question 8 and 9, respectively 164 and 82 studies). Very few studies seek a possible cure for HG (question 1, 8 studies), preventative treatment (question 4, 2 studies) or how to achieve nutritional requirements of pregnancy (question 10, 17 studies). Case reports/series were most numerous with 125 (30.7%) included. Few qualitative studies (9, 2.2%) were identified. 25 (6.1%) systematic reviews addressed eight questions, or aspects of them. 31 (7.6%) studies included patient involvement. CONCLUSIONS There are significant gaps and overlap in the current HG literature addressing priority questions. Researchers and funders should direct their efforts at addressing the gaps in the top 10 questions.

Abstract
Considered as the most popular pathogen worldwide, Helicobacter pylori is intensively associated with diverse gastric diseases, including gastric ulcers, chronic progressive gastritis, and gastric cancer. Aside from its pathogenic effect on gastric diseases, growing evidences reveal that H. pylori may be related to numerous extragastric diseases. In this article, we reviewed recent studies and systematically elucidated that H. pylori may interfere with many biological processes outside the stomach and influence the occurrence of various extragastric diseases. Many epidemiological studies have indicated that H. pylori plays a pathogenic role in COVID-19, atherosclerosis, hyperemesis gravidarum and several other extragastric diseases, while the effect of H. pylori is currently under investigation in gastroesophageal reflux disease, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease. Moreover, we also summarized the possible pathogenic mechanisms of H. pylori that may be related to chronic systemic inflammation and molecular mimicker. Taken together, this review provides a new perspective on the role of H. pylori in extragastric diseases and explores the possible mechanisms, which may help guide clinical treatment.

Abstract
The liver disorders unique to pregnancy include hyperemesis gravidarum, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, acute fatty liver of pregnancy, and preeclampsia-associated hepatic impairment, specifically hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count syndrome (HELLP). Their importance lies in the significant maternal and fetal/neonatal morbidity and mortality. Expeditious diagnosis and clinical evaluation is critical to ensure timely, appropriate care and minimize risks to the pregnant woman and her fetus/baby. A multidisciplinary approach is essential, including midwives, maternal-fetal-medicine specialists, anesthetists, neonatologists, and hepatologists.

Abstract
Gut microbiota (GM) is a micro-ecosystem composed of all microorganisms in the human intestine. The interaction between GM and the host plays an important role in maintaining normal physiological functions in the host. Dysbiosis of the GM may cause various diseases. GM has been demonstrated to be associated with human health and disease, and changes during individual development and disease. Pregnancy is a complicated physiological process. Hormones, the immune system, metabolism, and GM undergo drastic changes during pregnancy. Gastrointestinal diseases during pregnancy, such as hepatitis, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, and pre-eclampsia, can affect both maternal and fetal health. The dysregulation of GM during pregnancy may lead to a variety of diseases, including gastrointestinal diseases. Herein, we review recent research articles on GM in pregnancy-related gastrointestinal diseases, discuss the interaction of the GM with the host under normal physiological conditions, gastrointestinal diseases, and pregnancy-specific disorders. As more attention is paid to reproductive health, the pathogenic mechanism of GM in gastrointestinal diseases during pregnancy will be further studied to provide a theoretical basis for the use of probiotics to treat these diseases.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori was known as a pathogen related to peptic ulcers and gastric carcinoma. Some researches confirmed that the infected pregnant women with H. pylori have poor pregnancy outcomes so that its effects extended to other systems other than gastrointestinal tracts. This study aimed to evaluate H. pylori infection in pregnant women who had morning sickness (nausea and vomiting) related to the ABO blood group. In total, 202 pregnant women within the age range of 15-45 years with severe nausea and vomiting attended the outpatient and specialized clinic. The seroprevalence of H. pylori was 62% in pregnant women, especially at the age group of 20-24 years with 32.5% of the cases who had epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, flatulence, and burning of the stomach, the majority of which related to O+ (33.3%), followed by A+ and B+ (25.39%) blood groups. Most infected pregnant women with H. pylori were during the first (41.26%) and second trimesters (34.12%), especially in multigravida (68.25%) cases. This study found that hyperemesis (severe nausea and vomiting), dyspepsia, and other gastrointestinal symptoms during pregnancy were related to the infection with H. pylori; therefore, it is a risk factor for complications in pregnancy and its poor outcomes, especially in developing countries, such as Iraq. These results can be minimized by improving the socioeconomic and sanitation conditions. H. pylori infection in pregnancy is considered a health problem and should be treated before and during pregnancy. Further investigations are required in this regard and researchers are recommended to conduct studies on the RBC antigens to recognize the pathophysiology related to H. pylori infection.

Abstract
We investigated the serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), oestrogen and progesterone levels in spontaneously conceiving pregnant women, diagnosed for hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), in the first trimester. Pregnant women admitted at Hospital between 5 and 12 gestational weeks and treated for HG were compared, in this prospective case-control study, to a control group. The serum AMH, oestradiol, and progesterone values of both groups were evaluated and compared, and potential correlations were calculated. The serum AMH values were significantly higher in the HG group than the control group (3.15 ± 1.51 ng/mL vs. 2.27 ± 1.20 ng/mL; p = 0.012). No significant difference in the two groups was about serum oestradiol and progesterone values (p = 0.264, p = 0.235). In the HG group, there was no significant correlation between AMH and oestradiol (p = 0.570). However, a significant positive correlation was determined between AMH and progesterone (p = 0.050). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.669 and the cut-off value was 2.65 ng/ml with sensitivity of 58.3% and specificity of 66.7% for AMH in pregnant women with HG. A correlation between AMH high values and unexplained HG was detected in spontaneous pregnancies in the first trimester. High AMH levels may play a role in HG etiopathogenesis, especially in pregnant women with low progesterone levels.Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? Aetiological causes of Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) include hormonal, immunological, genetic, and psychological issues. However, no conclusive etiopathogenesis to explain the pathophysiological mechanism of HG has been stated.What do the results of this study add? Authors focussed on investigation a possible correlation between pregnant hormones and the HG pathogenesis, prevalent in the first trimester, when hormones are produced by either the placenta or corpus luteum. High anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels may play a role in HG etiopathogenesis, especially in pregnant women with low progesterone levels.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? A serum AMH level of ≥2.65 mg/mL could be predictive for the development of HG in the first trimester of a spontaneous pregnancy. Basing on these findings, more selective pharmacological treatments could be administrated to these patients.

Abstract
Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) is a common condition that affects up to 70% of pregnant women. Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is considered the serious form of NVP, which is reported in 0.3–10.8% of pregnant women. NVP has a relatively benign course, but HG can be linked with some poor maternal, fetal, and offspring outcomes. The exact causes of NVP and HG are unknown, but various factors have been hypothesized to be associated with pathogenesis. With the advance of precision medicine and molecular biology, some genetic factors such as growth/differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) have become therapeutic targets. In our review, we summarize the historical hypotheses of the pathogenesis of NVP and HG including hormonal factors, Helicobacter pylori, gastrointestinal dysmotility, placenta-related factors, psychosocial factors, and new factors identified by genetics. We also highlight some approaches to the management of NVP and HG, including pharmacological treatment, complementary treatment, and some supporting treatments. Looking to the future, progress in understanding NVP and HG may reduce the adverse outcomes and improve the maternal quality of life during pregnancy.

Abstract
Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) is a common condition reported however inconclusively among pregnancies after assisted conception. The study objective was thus to explore whether NVP is associated to mode of conception or other in vitro fertilization (IVF)-related variables. This nested matched cohort study, originating from the BASIC-project, was conducted at the Uppsala University Hospital in Sweden between 2010 and 2016. IVF pregnancies (n = 210) and age and parity-matched women with spontaneous pregnancies (n = 420) comprised the study sample. The study outcome was self-reported NVP at gestational week 17. IVF treatment and pregnancy data were obtained after scrutinization of the medical records. NVP with or without medications was not associated with mode of conception (chi-square test, p = 0.889), even after adjusting for potential confounders. In a subgroup analysis among IVF pregnancies, NVP without medication was more frequently seen in the group who received cleavage stage embryos vs blastocysts (chi-square test, p = 0.019), exhibiting a marginally significant but strongly increased effect even after adjustment [crude RRR 3.82 (95% CI 1.23–11.92) and adjusted RRR 3.42 (95% CI 0.96–12.11)]. No difference in the rate of NVP with or without medication between women that underwent fresh and frozen/thawed embryo transfers as well as IVF or ICSI was observed. Conception through IVF is not associated with NVP. Transfer of a blastocyst may decrease the risk of developing NVP and further, large-scale prospective studies are required to validate this finding.

Abstract
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a debilitating and potentially life-threatening pregnancy disease marked by weight loss, malnutrition, and dehydration attributed to unrelenting nausea and/or vomiting; HG increases the risk of adverse outcomes for the mother and child(ren). The complexity of HG affects every aspect of a woman's life during and after pregnancy. Without methodical intervention by knowledgeable and proactive clinicians, life-threatening complications may develop. Effectively managing HG requires an understanding of both physical and psychosocial stressors, recognition of potential risks and complications, and proactive assessment and treatment strategies using innovative clinical tools.

Abstract
Hyperemesis gravidarum is a common disease. Most patients are effectively treated with
conservative measures, but gastric feeding and, rarely, post-pyloric feeding can be
necessary. A 27-year-old woman, G3P2002, with a history of refractory hyperemesis in
previous pregnancies, required placement of a nasojejunal tube but was removed due to an
oropharyngeal ulcer. Endoscopic placement of a percutaneous endoscopic
transgastric-jejunostomy (PEG-J) tube caused resolution of her symptoms. Twelve days after
placement, the distal tube became dislodged and was endoscopically replaced with hemoclip
anchoring in the jejunum. PEG-J tube placement is a safe and effective option for
nutritional support in refractory hyperemesis gravidarum.

Abstract
An optimal early life environment is crucial for ensuring ideal neurodevelopmental outcomes. Brain development consists of a finely tuned series of spatially and temporally constrained events, which may be affected by exposure to a sub-optimal intra-uterine environment. Evidence suggests brain development may be particularly vulnerable to factors such as maternal nutrition, infection and stress during pregnancy. In this review, we discuss how maternal factors such as these can affect brain development and outcome in offspring, and we also identify evidence which suggests that the outcome can, in many cases, be stratified by socio-economic status (SES), with individuals in lower brackets typically having a worse outcome. We consider the relevant epidemiological evidence and draw parallels to mechanisms suggested by preclinical work where appropriate. We also discuss possible transgenerational effects of these maternal factors and the potential mechanisms involved. We conclude that modifiable factors such as maternal nutrition, infection and stress are important contributors to atypical brain development and that SES also likely has a key role.

Abstract
Introduction Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a serious complication of pregnancy involving nausea and vomiting which affects all facets of the lives of many women. Helicobacter pylori infection has been linked to HG in some regions of the world. However, the prevalence of H. pylori in Saudi Arabian pregnant women and its link to HG has not been the subject of previous research. Detecting and treating H. pylori infection in women early in their pregnancies may lower the likelihood of adverse maternal outcomes. This study aims to assess the connection between the pathogenesis of HG and H. pylori infection in this population. Methods Forty-five pregnant women with HG were recruited from the outpatient clinic for antenatal care in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department at King Abdulaziz University Hospital. Forty-five pregnant women without HG were matched as controls. Both groups underwent testing for the H. pylori antigen in stool samples. Results A statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) was observed between the cases and controls in terms of the occurrence of H. pylori. Thirty-eight women in the HG group (84.4%) tested positive for H. pylori, while the same was true of only 20 of the controls (44.4%). The mean level of blood hemoglobin in positive cases was significantly lower than that in negative cases (9.56 ± 1.29 vs. 11.90 ± 1.18 g/dl, P = 0.012). Conclusion H. pylori may play a contributing role in the presence of HG in the study population. It may be included with other investigations of HG, especially with cases that do not respond to conventional management and continue into the second trimester. Women with H. pylori were also more likely to suffer from anemia compared to those without the infection. For this reason, those working with pregnant women should pay close attention to those infected with H. pylori. Additional large case–control studies are necessary to better understand the part H. pylori plays and the pathogenesis of HG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori infection is known to alter growth-related hormones and affect growth in young children. However, it is still unknown whether maternal H. pylori infection has an impact on the levels of cord blood growth-related hormones and whether this can predict intrauterine growth restriction and poor physical and neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. This study aimed to examine associations between maternal H. pylori infection and pregnancy-related adverse events, fetal growth and early childhood development. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, we recruited singleton pregnant women without major medical illnesses from January 2014 to January 2015. Seropositivity for H. pylori was defined as > 12 U/ml of anti-H. pylori IgG in maternal serum. Demographic data and pregnancy-related medical issues of the cohort were documented. Cord blood levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), insulin, and ghrelin were determined using ELISA. The growth of the included neonates was monitored annually for up to 3 years, and cognitive development was assessed using the comprehensive developmental inventory for infants and toddlers (CDIIT) test 3 years after birth. RESULTS Of the 106 enrolled women, 25 (23.6%) were H. pylori-seropositive. Maternal H. pylori seropositivity was correlated with a higher risk of developing gestational hypertension (GH) (12% vs. 1.2%, p = 0.04) and lower cord blood levels of IGF-1 (< 35 ng/ml, 70.0% vs. 40.7%, p = 0.02) and IGFBP-3 (< 1120 ng/ml, 100.0% vs. 76.3%, p = 0.02) compared with the seronegative women. No significant impacts on birth weight, childhood growth and cognitive development were found to be correlated with maternal H. pylori seropositivity during pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS Maternal H. pylori infection during pregnancy was more likely to lead to the development of GH, but was not correlated with fetal and childhood growth and development. In addition to close monitoring of hypertension, H. pylori eradication can be considered for mothers with H. pylori infection.

Abstract
Background Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a rare complication of pregnancy that involves persistent nausea and extreme vomiting to an intensity that differentiates HG from nausea and vomiting commonly experienced during pregnancy. Research has suggested potential biological and psychological etiological pathways for HG, but the augmented prevalence in immigrant populations, which is 4.5 times higher, remains unclear. Studies show that in order to better address the psychosocial needs of immigrant patients with HG, we must first improve our understanding of how they experience their illness. The objective of this study was to understand the meaning and experience of HG among immigrant women in Canada. Methods Our “qualitative comparative analysis design” involved a sample of 15 pregnant mothers following their hospitalization for HG, including 11 immigrant women and 4 Canadian-born women recruited for comparison purposes. We used the Edinburgh Perinatal Depression Scale to assess distress, and the McGill Illness Narrative Interview Schedule to explore how pregnant women understood and experienced their HG and the health services that they received. Results With the exception of a few women whose mothers suffered from HG, immigrant women and their loved ones did not have cultural knowledge to attribute meaning to HG symptoms. This left them vulnerable to criticism from family, as well as feelings of self-doubt, stress, and anxiety. We interpret this phenomenon as ‘victim blaming’. Immigrant women’s experience of HG was also characterised by high levels of depressive symptoms (40%) which they linked to the severity of their symptoms, high levels of stress associated with adapting to their new country, social isolation, and loss of female family members. Furthermore, in contrast to Canadian-born women, immigrant women frequently reported feeling that their symptoms were minimized by hospital emergency room medical staff, which led to delays in obtaining appropriate health care. However, once admitted to hospital, they perceived the care provided by dieticians and nurses as helpful in managing their symptoms. Conclusions Wider awareness of the impact of HG may improve the quality of family support for immigrant women. There is a need to improve the delays and appropriateness of clinical care.

Bellos I, Daskalakis G, Pergialiotis V. Helicobacter pylori infection increases the risk of developing preeclampsia: A meta-analysis of observational studies. Int J Clin Pract 2018; 72. [PMID: 29388723 DOI: 10.1111/ijcp.13064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2017] [Accepted: 01/08/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori has been previously linked with preeclampsia on the basis of altered angiogenesis and activation of inflammatory cytokines. PURPOSE The purpose of the present systematic review is to summarise current evidence concerning the correlation of the two diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched the Medline (1966-2017), Scopus (2004-2017), Clinicaltrials.gov (2008-2017) EMBASE (1980-2017), and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials CENTRAL (1999-2017) databases. We selected all observational studies (both prospective and retrospective) that reported the incidence of preeclampsia among women with H. Pylori infection. Statistical meta-analysis was performed with the RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS Fourteen studies were finally included in this review, which included a total number of 9787 women. Nine percentage of these had preeclampsia (879 women). The evaluation of studies with the ROBINS-I tool revealed low to moderate risk of bias. H. pylori IgG seropositivity was significantly more prevalent in preeclamptic than in healthy pregnant women (9391 women, OR: 2.32, 95% CI [1.55, 3.46]). The frequency of anti-CagA antibodies was also higher in pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia (3275 women, OR: 3.97, 95% CI [1.55, 10.19]). CONCLUSION The findings of our study support that H. pylori infection doubles the risk of developing preeclampsia. The exact pathophysiological processes, however, remain poorly investigated and future experimental studies are needed to shed light on the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the United States, hyperemesis gravidarum is the most common cause of hospitalization during the first half of pregnancy and is second only to preterm labor for hospitalizations in pregnancy overall. In approximately 0.3-3% of pregnancies, hyperemesis gravidarum is prevalent and this percentage varies on account of different diagnostic criteria and ethnic variation in study populations. Despite extensive research in this field, the mechanism of the disease is largely unknown. Although cases of mortality are rare, hyperemesis gravidarum has been associated with both maternal and fetal morbidity. The current mainstay of treatment relies heavily on supportive measures until improvement of symptoms as part of the natural course of hyperemesis gravidarum, which occurs with progression of gestational age. However, studies have reported that severe, refractory disease manifestations have led to serious adverse outcomes and to termination of pregnancies. SUMMARY Despite extensive research in the field, the pathogenesis of hyperemesis gravidarum remains unknown. Recent literature points to a genetic predisposition in addition to previously studied factors such as infectious, psychiatric, and hormonal contributions. Maternal morbidity is common and includes psychological effects, financial burden, clinical complications from nutritional deficiencies, gastrointestinal trauma, and in rare cases, neurological damage. The effect of hyperemesis gravidarum on neonatal health is still debated in literature with conflicting results regarding outcomes of birth weight and prematurity. Available therapy options remain largely unchanged in the past several decades and focus on parenteral antiemetic medications, electrolyte repletion, and nutritional support. Most studies of therapeutic options do not consist of randomized control studies and cross-study analysis is difficult due to considerable variation of diagnostic criteria. Key Messages: Hyperemesis gravidarum carries a significant burden on maternal health and US health care. Most published research on pathogenesis is observational and suggests multifactorial associations with hyperemesis gravidarum. Precise, strictly defined criteria for clinical diagnosis are likely to benefit meta-analyses of further research studies regarding pathogenesis as well as therapeutic options.

Abstract
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe and prolonged form of nausea and/or vomiting during pregnancy. HG affects 0.3-2% of pregnancies and is defined by dehydration, ketonuria, and more than 5% body weight loss. Initial pharmacologic treatment for HG includes a combination of doxylamine and pyridoxine. Additional interventions include ondansetron or dopamine antagonists such as metoclopramide or promethazine. The options are limited for women who are not adequately treated with these medications. We suggest that mirtazapine is a useful drug in this context and its efficacy has been described in case studies. Mirtazapine acts on noradrenergic, serotonergic, histaminergic, and muscarinic receptors to produce antidepressant, anxiolytic, antiemetic, sedative, and appetite-stimulating effects. Mirtazapine is not associated with an independent increased risk of birth defects. Further investigation of mirtazapine as a treatment for HG holds promise to expand treatment options for women suffering from HG.

Helicobacter pylori infection: a predictor of vomiting severity in pregnancy and adverse birth outcome. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2017; 216:512.e1-512.e9.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nausea and occasional vomiting in early pregnancy is common. Why some women experience severe nausea and occasional vomiting in early pregnancy is unknown. Causes are multifactorial and only symptomatic treatment options are available, although adverse birth outcomes have been described. Helicobacter pylori infection has been implicated in the cause of nausea and occasional vomiting in early pregnancy. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of H pylori with vomiting severity in pregnancy and its effect on birth outcome. STUDY DESIGN We assembled a population-based prospective cohort of pregnant women in The Netherlands. Enrolment took place between 2002 and 2006. H pylori serology was determined in mid gestation. Women reported whether they experienced vomiting in early, mid, and late gestation. Maternal weight was measured in the same time periods. Birth outcomes were obtained from medical records. Main outcome measures were vomiting frequency (no, occasional, daily) and duration (early, mid, late gestation), maternal weight gain, birthweight, small for gestational age, and prematurity. Data were analyzed with the use of multivariate regression. RESULTS We included 5549 Women, of whom 1932 (34.8%) reported occasional vomiting and 601 (10.8%) reported daily vomiting. Women who were H pylori-positive (n=2363) were more likely to report daily vomiting (adjusted odds ratio, 1.44; 95% confidence interval, 1.16-1.78). H pylori-positivity was associated with a reduction of total weight gain in women with daily vomiting (adjusted difference, -2.1 kg; 95% confidence interval, -2.7 to -1.5); infants born to women with H pylori and daily vomiting had slightly reduced birthweight (addjusted difference -60g; 95% confidence interval, -109 - -12) and an increased risk of being small for gestational age (adjusted odds ratio, 1.49; 95% confidence interval, 1.04-2.14). H pylori and daily vomiting did not significantly affect prematurity rate. CONCLUSION This study suggests that H pylori is an independent risk factor for vomiting in pregnancy. In women with daily vomiting, H pylori is also associated with low maternal weight gain, reduced birth weight, and small for gestational age. Because effective treatments for severe nausea and occasional vomiting in early pregnancy are currently lacking, the effect of H pylori eradication therapy on nausea and occasional vomiting in early pregnancy symptom severity should be the target of future studies.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a common worldwide infection that is an important cause of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. H. pylori may also have a role in uninvestigated and functional dyspepsia, ulcer risk in patients taking low-dose aspirin or starting therapy with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, unexplained iron deficiency anemia, and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. While choosing a treatment regimen for H. pylori, patients should be asked about previous antibiotic exposure and this information should be incorporated into the decision-making process. For first-line treatment, clarithromycin triple therapy should be confined to patients with no previous history of macrolide exposure who reside in areas where clarithromycin resistance amongst H. pylori isolates is known to be low. Most patients will be better served by first-line treatment with bismuth quadruple therapy or concomitant therapy consisting of a PPI, clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and metronidazole. When first-line therapy fails, a salvage regimen should avoid antibiotics that were previously used. If a patient received a first-line treatment containing clarithromycin, bismuth quadruple therapy or levofloxacin salvage regimens are the preferred treatment options. If a patient received first-line bismuth quadruple therapy, clarithromycin or levofloxacin-containing salvage regimens are the preferred treatment options. Details regarding the drugs, doses and durations of the recommended and suggested first-line and salvage regimens can be found in the guideline.

Abstract
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a pregnancy condition characterised by debilitating nausea and vomiting. HG has been associated with depression during pregnancy but the direction of the association remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess whether previous depression is associated with HG. This is a population-based pregnancy cohort study using data from The Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study. The study reviewed 731 pregnancies with HG and 81,055 pregnancies without. Logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the association between a lifetime history of depression and hyperemesis gravidarum. Odds ratios were adjusted for symptoms of current depression, maternal age, parity, body mass index, smoking, sex of the child, education and pelvic girdle pain. A lifetime history of depression was associated with higher odds for hyperemesis gravidarum (aOR = 1.49, 95% CI (1.23; 1.79)). Two thirds of women with hyperemesis gravidarum had neither a history of depression nor symptoms of current depression, and 1.2% of women with a history of depression developed HG. A lifetime history of depression increased the risk of HG. However, given the fact that only 1.2% of women with a history of depression developed HG and that the majority of women with HG had no symptoms of depression, depression does not seem to be a main driver in the aetiology of HG.

Abstract
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) affects 1 % of all pregnant women and in western societies it is the most common cause for hospital admission during first trimester. The economic burden of the disease has barely been studied. To estimate the Israeli national burden of HG, Konikoff and co-workers obtained data retrospectively on hospital costs as well as loss of workdays from 184 women hospitalized due to HG from December 2010 until December 2013. Their findings emphasise the need for better treatment to reduce the burden of this disease both for the individual as well as the society.

Abstract
Many food and plant extracts have shown in vitro anti-Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) activity, but are less effective in vivo. The anti-H. pylori effects of these extracts are mainly permeabilitization of the membrane, anti-adhesion, inhibition of bacterial enzymes and bacterial grown. We, herein, review treatment effects of cranberry, garlic, curcumin, ginger and pistacia gum against H. pylori in both in vitro, animal studies and in vivo studies.

Abstract
Nausea and occasional vomiting in early pregnancy (NVP) are common. When vomiting is severe or protracted, it is referred to as hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). HG affects up to 3% of pregnancies and is characterized by weight loss, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and the need for hospital admission. HG has significant consequences for maternal well-being, is associated with adverse birth outcomes, and leads to major health care costs. Treatment options are symptomatic, hampered by the lack of evidence-based options including studies on nutritional interventions. One of the reasons for this lack of evidence is the use of a broad range of definitions and outcome measures. An internationally accepted definition and the formulation of core outcomes would facilitate meta-analysis of trial results and implementation of evidence in guidelines to ultimately improve patient care.
