Hence, in this review, we summarize documents related to pregnancy complications and\u0000periodontitis with a mechanistic insight.\u0000Literature on the relevant topic was searched from scientific databases, including Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed, in English, between 1996\u0000and 2022.\u0000Based on reports, pregnancy complications (premature labor, low weight at birth, and preeclampsia) can be related to periodontitis. This linkage\u0000can be mediated by inflammatory reactions, one of the main pathogenic mechanisms in periodontitis. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α,\u0000IL-1β, and IL-6, have the ability to induce labor and fetal toxicity and finally create preterm labor and low weight at birth. Besides, these cytokines\u0000can potentiate chronic inflammatory responses in the fetal-maternal interface, impair placentation, and create endothelial dysfunction.\u0000It seems that pro-inflammatory reactions, like secretion of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, can be a bridge for associating periodontitis and pregnancy\u0000complications. However, more studies with larger sample sizes are needed to support these findings.\u0000","PeriodicalId":110816,"journal":{"name":"New Emirates Medical Journal","volume":" 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138962457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Treatment during pregnancy via using non-pharmacological therapy is quite popular all over the world as it is safe and has no negative\u0000effects on the fetus. Nausea and vomiting are one of the most prominent problems faced by pregnant women. Acupressure and Aromatherapy have\u0000been used by pregnant ladies nowadays for relieving nausea and vomiting symptoms. Conventional therapies also aid in medication of morning\u0000sickness in pregnancy duration that covers drugs like Antiemetics, Corticosteroids, Antihistaminic, IV fluids and Vitamin-B6 supplements. Many\u0000scientific studies have demonstrated that few drugs that come under conventional treatment cause severe birth defects and stillbirth. This is the\u0000leading reason pregnant women prefer to use herbs instead of using conventional medical treatment. The prospective of this review article is to find\u0000out the alternative and conventional therapeutic approaches for alleviating the symptoms of morning sickness during pregnancy.\u0000","PeriodicalId":110816,"journal":{"name":"New Emirates Medical Journal","volume":" 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138962127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
