The rising tide of liver Cirrhosis mortality in the UK: can its halt be predicted?
Prediction of future death rates using information from previous cohorts is not possible due to the occurrence of sudden reversals in death rates. The sudden fall in the death rates of several birth cohorts suggests that reversing the current UK trend of rising liver cirrhosis deaths is possible.
Normal pregnancy is a state in which there is a physiologic increase of sCD40L. PTL was associated with an increased median maternal plasma sCD40L concentration that could not be accounted for by IAI. Thus, our findings suggest that platelet activation occurs during an episode of preterm labor.
