    This analysis was performed to determine the prevalence of hypertension and association of MAP (mean arterial pressure) with birth outcomes among HIV-infected pregnant women not taking antiretrovirals. HIV-infected pregnant women, enrolled into the HPTN024 trial in Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia were followed up at 26-30, 36 weeks, and delivery. The prevalence of hypertension was <1% at both 20-24 weeks and 26-30 weeks and 1.7% by 36 weeks. A 5 mm Hg elevation in MAP increased the risk of stillbirth at 20-24 weeks by 29% (p=0.001), 32% (p=0.001) at 26-30 weeks and of low birth weight (LBW) at 36 weeks by 26% (p=0.001). MAP was not associated with stillbirth at 36 weeks, LBW prior to 36 weeks, preterm birth, neonatal mortality or the risk of maternal to child transmission (MTCT) of HIV (Afr J Reprod Health 2009; 13[4]:25-36).On a fait cette analyse pour dĂ©terminer la prĂ©valence de l’hypertension et l’association de la PAM (Pression ArtĂ©rielle Moyenne) avec les rĂ©sultats de naissance chez les femmes sĂ©ropositives enceintes qui ne prennent pas des mĂ©dicaments antirĂ©troviraux. Les femmes sĂ©ropositives enceintes inscrites pour l’essai PHTNO24 en Tanzanie, au Malawi et en Zambie ont Ă©tĂ© suivies Ă  26 – 30, 36 semaines et Ă  l’accouchement. La prĂ©valence de l’hypertension Ă©tait <1% Ă  la fin de 20 – 24 semaines et Ă  la fin de 26 – 30 semaines et 1,7% Ă  la fin de 36 semaines. Une hausse de 5mm Hg de la PAM a augmente le risque de la mortinatalitĂ© Ă  la fin de 20 – 24 semaines de 29% (p = 0,001), 32% (p = 0,001) Ă  la fin de 26 – 30 semaines et de la faible poids de naissance (FPN) Ă  la fin de 36 semaines de 26% (p = 0,001). La PAM n’était pas liĂ©e Ă  la mortinatalitĂ© Ă  la fin de 36 semaines, Ă  la FPN avant 36 semaines, Ă  la naissance avant-terme, Ă  la mortalitĂ© nĂ©onatale ou au risque de la transmission de la mĂšre Ă  l’enfant (TME) du VIH (Afr J Reprod Health 2009; 13[4]:25-36)

    Urban greenery is a natural solution to cool cities and provide comfort, clean air and significant social, health and economic benefits. This paper aims to present the latest progress on the field of greenery urban mitigation techniques including aspects related to the theoretical and experimental assessment of the greenery cooling potential, the impact on urban vegetation on energy, health and comfort and the acquired knowledge on the best integration of the various types of greenery in the urban frame. Also to present the recent knowledge on the impact of climate change on the cooling performance of urban vegetation and investigate and analyse possible technological solutions to face the impact of high ambient temperatures. © 2018 The Author(s)
