Introduction: Preeclampsia is a common hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. Several studies have demonstrated that protein aggregates, detected through urine congophilia, is associated with preeclampsia; however, it has yet to be investigated whether urine congophilia remains postpartum in these women. In this study, we aimed to augment prior studies and determine whether urine congophilia is present postpartum. Methods: Women were recruited from Lyell McEwin Hospital, South Australia. Urine samples were collected during pregnancy and 6-months postpartum from women with non-preeclampsia pregnancies (n = 48) and women with pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia (n = 42). A Congo Red Dot blot test, total protein and creatinine levels from urine, as well as serum Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 to placental growth factor ratio (sFlt-1:PlGF), were assessed and correlated. Results: Preeclamptic women exhibited increased urine congophilia (P < 0.01), sFlt-1:PlGF ratio (P < 0.0001) a

Two new studies strengthen the link between gum disease and the development of Alzheimer's disease. The studies focus on the interactions between the gingipains enzyme interacts with the Tau protein, and how the gingipains enzyme contributes to the development of amyloid-beta.
