(AP) — A researcher has developed a test he says can predict early on whether a pregnant women will develop a potentially lethal form of high blood pressure called pre-eclampsia. And he offered evidence that aspirin at bedtime can ward off the condition. Dr. Ramon C. Hermida, director of the bioengi neering and chronobiology laboratories at the University of Vigo in Spain, presented his studies Thursday at an American Heart Association conter- ence here on high blood pressure. Pre-eclampsia, characterized by a sudden increase in blood pressure in late pregnancy, is one of the most dangerous and baffling complications ot pregnancy. It can be deadly to the mother and lead to premature births. The only treatment until now has been to induce delivery of the baby in hopes it can be bom before the mother develops seizures, called eclampsia. “Therefore, it is important to focus on prevent]! Hermida said. Hermida said his tolerance-hyperbaric tee THE can lx* used as early as the first trimeste pregnancy. He said it can identify 93 percent women at high risk for blood pressure complicatit several months before they develop syste detectable by doctors. These women can then be given low doses aspirin at night, starting before the 16th wed pregnancy, he said. Although Hermida’s studies have yet to unde the scrutiny of peer review and duplicate clinv tests, experts were excited by the findings. “This has the potential for helping a lotoE pie and could reduce the risk of pregnancy,”saidii Dan Jones, associate vice chancellor for hea affairs at the University ot Mississippi Med Center. orsfiip Directory Sports: * Volume 1 B Improving the frontiers the newly ap| ing, said Dr. The Texas named Benn Friday, despi faculty over t finalist for tb Some faci sory commi Rol AssemBCy of god Bethel Temple Assembly of God 2608 Villa Maria.
