 4. 
                          Toxemia, Toxicosis.
 Never a toxic substance could be isolated responsible 
                          for all cases of ΕΡΗ -Getosis, not even for some of 
                          the cases (Decision : Το be 
                          dropped)
 5. 
                          Preeclampsia
 Ιπ the Anglo-American Iiterature:Αll 
                          cases with hypertension and proteinuria, sometimes 
                          also with edema are being labeled 
                          as preeclampsia. This term was described as misnomer 
                          and recomended to be dropped.
 In the German Iiterature it describes the condition 
                          immediately before the 
                          eclamptic seizure (Eclampsia imminens. ΕΙ ).(Decision
                          Το be dropped)
 6. 
                          Hypertension
 Hypertension has many causes (cardia, renal, 
                          endocrinal, malformations, psychological)
 The readings depend on many factors (position of the 
                          patient, condition of patient as well as doctor Οr 
                          who ever takes the blood pressure, time of the day, 
                          equippment and its instruction and use, state of 
                          knowledge etc..)In underpriviledged areas a blood 
                          pressure apparatus, a stethoscope and the instruction 
                          how to use both might be a Iuxury unheared of. The 
                          readings of blood pressure have been vastly ονer 
                          estimated (Decision :Το be 
                          dropped)
 4.
                          Complicated names,
 like Trophoblastic 
                          nephrovasculopathy
 Οr Choriogenic Nephropathy
 Οr Vasculo Chorionic 
                          Nephrosis
 Οr 
                          Oedemo-nephrotisch-hypertensiver Symptomencomplex
 might be convincing for their inventors but would 
                          never be accepterd generally (Decision: Το be dropped)
 4.
                          Eclampsia
 is the easiest condition to be identified. It is 
                          always connected with tonic- clonic convulsions ( 
                          Convulsive eclampsia, Eclampsia convulsiva. EC)
                          We know about the very rare cases of silent 
                          eclampsia  .(Decision: Το be considered)
 5.
                          Impending or Imminent Eclamspsia,(EI) 
                          .similarely is easy to detect. It can very well be 
                          separated from other forms of
                          ΕΡΗ -Gestosis by the signs and symptoms the 
                          patient shows. It is especially important a condition 
                          because it enables us to recognize the danger of a 
                          seizure to develop. This next step to Convulsive 
                          Eclampsia can be prevented ( 
                          Decision: Το be considered)
 6.
                          Gestosis.
 This is actually the correct name. It indicates that 
                          we are dealing with a pregnancyJ a Gestation (Gest... 
                          ) which shows an abnormal course (... osis). And if 
                          this disturbed pregnancy shows the signs and symptoms 
                          of EdemaJ and / or 
                          Proteinuria and / or 
                          Hypertension then it is an ΕΡΗ -Gestosis which we may 
                          subdivide in several groups:
 Ε, Ε ,P -
                           monosymptomatic cases
 ΕP,EH, PH, EPH -  polysymptomatic 
                          cases
 
 This name is just descriptive. It does not imply 
                          causes, prognosis, underlying disease
                          or therapy. And also it does 
                          not Iable this complication as one single disease but 
                          as a syndrome of which we should search for its cause 
                          (causes)
 That's why 
                          we call this syndrome EPH-Gestosis
