Risk for ESRD increased by 4.7 times among women who developed preeclampsia during their low gear pregnancy, by 6.4 times among women wHO developed the condition during each of their 2 pregnancies and by 15.5 multiplication among women who highly-developed the condition during 2 of at least trey pregnancies, the study institute.

The researchers wrote that the "inviolable risk of ESRD in women wHO have had preeclampsia is low, [and] preeclampsia is a marker for an increased risk of subsequent ESRD," adding, "The association was stronger if the preeclamptic pregnancy resulted in a down birthweight or preterm infant."

Metallica Saves Death for TGIF

Metallica is over again going against the grain.

The hard-rocking isthmus has followed in its own footsteps and announced a Friday release date for its ninth studio album, Death Magnetic. The album hits both touchable and digital shelves Sept. 12.

Three days later, the full album will become an optional download for Guitar Hero III: Legends of the Rock. (No word yet on whether the video game tracks' Sept. 15 release will likewise be bumped up.)

James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo also chose to skip the traditional Tuesday or Monday debut with their last exertion, 2003's St. Anger, reckoning somehow that a Friday bow would stop more than pirated copies from circulating.

Either way, this isn't the first example of Metallica wanting to get its music extinct there�but not too much.

The original Napster bashers incurred the wrath of several U.K. medicine websites afterwards Metallica's management asked the bloggers to pull any early reviews of the tracks that would eventually make up Death Magnetic.

Metallica characterized the whole thing as a misunderstanding and encouraged the sites to resume their critiques.

The stripe, which latterly finished shooting a video for the album's first single, "The Day That Never Comes," is scheduled to wager Ozzfest Saturday in Dallas. For a fee (of course), you can order an MP3 file of the public presentation from LiveMetallica.com.
