Actually, I answered my own question, here's the abstract: Preeclampsia: the Death of Goliath Bruce B. Feinberg In this review, a novel and unifying pathophysiologic mechanism of preeclampsia is presented whereby a minimal excess of placental immune complex production versus removal causes a proinflammatory autoamplification cascade of trophoblast apoptosis/necrosis and oxidative stress, culminating in clinical preeclampsia. This concept immediately leads to a plethora of new and robust therapeutic strategies.

You can purchase the article on-line for $39. I think I'll find it elsewhere.

You mean someone is finally going to get their name on the plaque for solving the problem? Isn't it at a hospital in Chicago? More importantly, is the article available to anyone in this list?

There is a review in the American Journal of Reproductive Immunology (2006) 55:84-98 by Bruce B. Feinberg, in which the molecular pathophysiology of preeclampsia/eclampsia has been worked out, and potential prevention and treatment proposed. I know we have been down this road before, but if you have been following the recent developments in immunology it makes sense.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
