High Risk Pregnancies: Medical and Legal Assessment (Naira Renault)

Alport is a complex hereditary syndrome (~80% X-chromosome-linked, ~ 15% autosomal recessive, ~ 5% autosomal dominant) with various clinical manifestations: renal failure, hearing loss, vision loss, and diffuse leiomyomata. With countless mutation arrays for each type (X-linked 685+, autosomal recessive 50+, autosomal dominant 73+), the prognosis and management of this disease is a quandary as well. This presentation covers the diagnostic, diff-diagnostic and management tips for Alport in general, as well as in pregnancy and postpartum. Scenarios and multiple-choice questions (all written by the presenter, Naira) are bound to help understand and memorize the principle issues of tangency. The verbal presentation is in German; the slides are in English. The background music: Ludwig van Beethoven, Symphony No 9 (fragments only, among those "Ode to Joy").

The current effort elucidates the cross-impact of epilepsy and pregnancy, seizure variations based on the underlying diseases as well as the involved lobe or region of the brain, differential diagnostics between epilepsy and eclampsia, application of a tongue holder in remote facilities, perinatal and neonatal outcomes from the use of certain anticonvulsants, antenatal and postnatal management of epilepsy. Conventionally, the second section presents summaries of published court opinions of relevance, followed by 22 test questions (unique, written by the author/presenter) and an answer key. The music credit goes to J. S. Bach for "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor," and M. Shufutinsky for "Москвичka."

The medical assessment of the said interface includes pathogenesis, propedeutics, differential diagnostics of the Conn syndrome, and prenatal and postpartum management of primary aldosteronism.

I. Khachaturian, for his incredible "Piano Concerto in D-flat Major."

A medical and legal in-depth analysis of listeria-infected pregnancy. The background music is of Carl Czerny: Edute Impromptu Passionné. I remember my first year in music school when I was 6 y/o. My first note scores were of Czerny (Austrian) and Scarlatti (Italian). This was a balanced and meaningful life that my awesome parents provided with impossible devotion and love. Today, when both are gone, my son and I face this ugly world that is nothing but a hazardous dumpster.

For those who opt to skip the introductory part, the slidevlog starts at minutes 5:28.

Presenting advanced biostatistical concepts that are often misconstrued or misused. Music credit to one and only George Gershwin, for his piano preludes. Jazz is chosen as background music because Naira finds that "statistics and jazz have a plethora in common: a lot of imagination, improvisations, and degrees of freedom".
