Today there is still a lack of information about the impact of COVID-19 on the pregnancy course, in particular, about its role in relation to Rh-conflict during pregnancy.The paper focused on a rare presentation of Rh-conflict pregnancy and COVID-19. 32 years old G3 P2 pregnant women with Rh-negative had a third pregnancy. The injection of anti-D immunoglobulin after the first abortion was not performed. The second pregnancy finished with a term delivery and the birth of a fetus with hemolytic disease. During the third pregnancy, the woman fell ill with COVID-19 in the 26th week. The bilateral pneumonia was diagnosed.The treatment included antibiotics, antiviral, antithrombotic, and anti-inflammatory drugs. No signs of fetal hemolytic disease were found via ultrasonography. But the abnormal level of anti-D antibodies – 1:1024 was detected. From the 28th weeks of pregnancy till the delivery the test for anti-D antibodies was constant – 1:4. The variables of utero-placental, fetal (blood flow velocity in a middle cerebral artery), and umbilical hemodynamics were normal during the third trimester. But fetal moderate hepato- and splenomegaly were found at 36 weeks of gestation. The patient delivered at 38 weeks of gestation a female newborn 3100 g, 52 cm with a 7→8 Apgar score. The laboratory investigation detected a hemoglobin value of 202.6 mg/dL in a child. The blood analysis showed total bilirubin of 44.2 mg/dL, direct bilirubin of 1.0 mg/dL, and a negative result on the direct Coombs test. The baby received phototherapy for 3 days. Total bilirubin was decreased (15.2 mg/dL). The newborn was discharged from a hospital with the mother on the fifth day.COVID-19 could change the placental permeability and increase the titer of anti-D antibodies. But it did not contribute to fetal and newborn hemolytic disease.","PeriodicalId":21003,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive health of woman","volume":"2009 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86261592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rate of ITP is 3.3 per 100,000 adults per year with a prevalence of 9.5 per 100,000 adults. Pregnancy does not increase the frequency or severity of ITP, but ITP can significantly affect pregnancy and cause bleeding in women.Pregnancy requires regular control of the number of platelets: monthly in the I and II trimesters, every 2 weeks – in the III trimester, and weekly control near the delivery date. Indications for treatment are determined by the pregnant woman condition, not the fetus, since it has not been proven that the treatment reduces the risks of thrombocytopenia in newborns with the development of cerebral hemorrhage.The drug of the first line of treatment of such pathology is prednisolone at a dose of 1 mg/kg orally once a day. An increase in the number of platelets is usually observed within 3-7 days, the maximum response is determined after 2-3 weeks. If necessary, the dose can be increased. When the required level of platelets is reached, the dose can be gradually reduced by 10-20 % to the minimum dose necessary to maintain the number of platelets at an acceptable level.Thrombocytopathy can be the cause of primary hemostasis disorders, even if the number of platelets in the blood is normal. For diagnosis, tests are carried out to detect the aggregation ability of platelets. In addition, flow cytometry can be used, which makes it possible to detect the defects of surface membrane receptors, as well as defects of the end point of secretion.ITP is a common cause of thrombocytopenia after viral infections. The onset of this pathology is more often detected in the second and third weeks after the onset of COVID-19. The treatment aim is to prevent the significant bleeding in patients with COVID-19.The article presents a clinical case of a pregnant woman with ITP and thrombocytopathy, whose pregnancy was complicated by COVID-19. The patient complained on bleeding gums, the appearance of hematomas on the skin. Medical treatment of the main disease included prednisolone, eltrombopag, intravenous human immunoglobulin, transfusion of platelet concentrate. At 34–35 weeks of pregnancy alive boy was born with a body weight of 2800 g, length of 49 cm, 7–8 points on the Apgar scale.","PeriodicalId":21003,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive health of woman","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81897991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lactation onset is extremely sensitive to stress. Instead, under the stressful conditions breastfeeding is the key to safe nutrition and protection from the emotional stress of the child and mother. One of the modern technologies for supporting breastfeeding is breast milk banks (BMB), the first of which in Ukraine is functioning on the basis of the Perinatal Center in Kyiv. This article is devoted to the peculiarities of the BMB’s work in the conditions of a full-scale war.The objective: to study the main indicators of BMB work in Kyiv Perinatal Center for 2022 and compare them with the indicators of the previous periods.Materials and methods. The reports on the activities of the BMB in Perinatal Kyiv Center for 2020, 2021 and 2022 were analysed.Results. During 2022, there was a tendency to increase the number of breast milk donors who delivered in other institutions, but the number of donors was similar (26.4 % in 2022 versus 5.7 % and 4.6 % in 2021 and 2020, respectively). In 2020, the recipients of breast milk were 400 newborns, in 2021 – 560 newborns, in 2022 – 2010. A decrease in the quantity of premature newborns in the structure of recipients of donor breast milk was also found – 12.7 % in 2022 versus 74 % and 82 % in previous years.An increase in the number of full-term newborns who received donor breast milk during the lactation is a significant result that corresponds to the social situation. The volume of harvested breast milk decreased from 990 litres in 2020, 980 litres in 2021 to 660 litres in 2022.Conclusions. The Breast Milk Bank (BMB) of the Kyiv Perinatal Center continues to play its role in preserving the life and health of Ukrainians and restoring our country. The volumes of breast milk received from donors in the hard year of 2022 were less than in previous years (660 l vs. 990 l), but an increased number of newborns who received it was found (2010 children in 2022 vs. 560 children in 2021), and the predominance of full-term recipients among them (87.3% of all recipients in 2022 versus 26% in 2021) was observed.Among breast milk donors, women who had premature births continue to dominate – 77 %. The main task of BMB is to involve women with term births to donation. This will allow both to increase the volume of donor breast milk and to improve its quality from the point of view of benefits for the growth of a newborn.","PeriodicalId":21003,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive health of woman","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79914202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Endometrial biopsy during the implantation window in an artificial cycle before and (in some patients) after intrauterine administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was performed in 42 patients with repeated implantation failures and gestational carriers (20 women) as a control group. Flow cytometry was used to count classes and subclasses of endometrial lymphocytes in endometrial tissue samples.Results. The population of endometrial immune cells in patients with repeated implantation failures and fertile women was compared. Pregnancy and live birth rates depending on endometrium immune phenotype in patients with repeated implantation failures after intrauterine administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in embryo transfer program were determined and the effect of intrauterine administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor on endometrial immune phenotype was evaluated.High expression of HLA-DR and CD16 on uterine natural killers is reliably associated with successful implantation after intrauterine administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in an embryo transfer program. It was established that in the group with an immature immune endometrial phenotype the frequency of pregnancy (53.8 %) and the frequency of live births (53.8 %) were twice higher compared to the rest of the patients with other variants or the absence of changes in the immune profile (pregnancy rate and frequency live birth rate – 26.9 %).Conclusions. One-third of patients with repeated implantation failures in genetically tested embryos transfer programs have a unique immune status of endometrium characterized by high expression of HLA-DR and CD16 on uterine natural killers. Intrauterine administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor leads to decrease of HLA-DR and CD16 expression on uterine natural killers and promotes successful implantation in embryo transfer program in this group of patients.","PeriodicalId":21003,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive health of woman","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91210308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An analysis of pregnancy course, childbirth and perinatal outcomes has been carried out in 137 pregnant women. Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the gestational age: 41 patients (I group) delivered in 37–40 weeks of gestation and 96 patients (II group) – in 41-42 weeks of pregnancy. Functional assessment of the fetal condition was performed using a cardiotocographic examination with cardiomonitors «Oxford Team 8000» and Hewlett Packard according to the generally accepted method, ultrasound examination – by ultrasound machine «Biomedica Au-530» with a linear sensor of 3.5 MHz frequency. Variational and statistical processing of the results has been carried out using licensed standard packages of multivariate statistical analysis application programs «STATISTICA 13».Results. An evaluation of anamnestic data allowed to establish that the majority of patients in the II group (53.13 %) had extragenital pathology that was in 2 times more than in the I group (24.39 %). The frequency of chronic salpingo-oophoritis was also significantly higher in the II group compared to the I one (12.50 % and 2.44 %, respectively), and such pathology as uterine leiomyoma (7.29 %) and cervical dysplasia (4.17 %) were diagnosed only among the women in the II group.A higher rate of pregnancy loss, anemia during pregnancy and disorders of uteroplacental bloodflow in patients in the II group was determined. The frequency of obstetric complications in the II group was in 4 times higher compared to the I group. This had a direct impact on the increase in the rate of cesarean section and vacuum extraction of fetus. Thus, fetal distress during childbirth was diagnosed in 13.54 % of women in the II group and in 7.32 % in the I group, and the weakness of labor activity (8,3 %) and clinically contracted pelvis (5.21 %) were determined only in the II group. Trauma of the birth canal was found in 37.5 % of women in the II group, which was almost 4 times higher than in the group I (9.76 %). The frequency of postpartum bleeding was also higher in the group II (15.6 %) and exceeded the indicator in the I group (4.88 %) in 3 times.The signs of prolonged pregnancy were found in 7.32 % newborns in the I group and 13.54 % – in the II group. It should be noted that the clinical features of early adaptation, which are characterized by a low Apgar score at birth, as well as higher morbidity, including high frequency of damage to the nervous system were determined in the newborns in the II group.Conclusions.

Among them, at 30–32 weeks of gestation oligohydramnios was diagnosed in 40 patients (the first group) and polyhydramnios – in 40 women (the second group). The control group included 30 somatically healthy pregnant women with a normal volume of amniotic fluid and a physiological course of pregnancy.The concentrations of placental growth factor (PlGF), vascular endothelial growth factor-1 (VEGF-1), and an anti-angiogenic marker of neovasculogenesis, soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFlt-1), were performed at 12–16 and 28–32 weeks of pregnancy by enzyme immunoassay method. The study of the structural and functional features of the placenta and umbilical cord included sonographic and organometric methods. The variational statistical method of analysis of the obtained results was carried out using the «STATISTICA for Windows®-6.0» package.Results. In the women of the main group in the I trimester the ultrasound signs of pathology of the embryo and extraembryonic structures were significantly more often observed: low placement of the fertilized egg (33.8 %), its deformation (27.5 %), and partial detachment of the chorion (28.5 %). At 12–16 weeks of pregnancy, a pronounced vascular imbalance was established with a 2.5-fold decrease in the concentration of PlGF in the case of oligohydramnios compared to control data, a 1.8-fold decrease in the level of free VEGF-1 (in the case of oligohydramnios), and an increased level of antiangiogenic growth factors (sFlt-1).The postnatal examination of the placenta and umbilical cord showed that in the pregnant women of the main group a predominance of abnormal forms of placenta (16.3 %), a predominance of eccentric and marginal types of attachment of the umbilical cord (53.8 %), main and intermediate types of vascular branching (63.7 %), changes in the diameter of the umbilical cord (17.5 %), a combination of these features in a third of cases (31.3 %) were found.

At the clinical base of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology No. 1 of O. O. Bogomolets National Medical University, which is located in the non-commercial enterprise “Perinatal Center of Kyiv”, during 2019–2022, a case-control study was conducted with the involvement of 90 pregnant women: 60 women of the main group with placental disorders and the development of spontaneous premature labor in the period of 24–34 weeks of gestation (I group – 30 women with premature labor and premature rupture of membranes, II group – 30 women with premature rupture of the membranes) and 30 women of control group (CG) with term normal delivery and the physiological course of the pregnancy.In pregnant women, the number of total and activated fractions of the p65 subunit of nuclear factor NF-κB and caspase-3 was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in placenta lysates with further calculation of their activity based on these data, as well as the presence of a single nucleotide polymorphism of the VEGF gene (936C/T) using the polymerase chain reaction.Results. In women with placental disorders and preterm birth a significantly higher values of fraction content and activity of p65 NF-κB and caspase-3 were found, with some peculiarities within the groups compared to the control group. Women of the I group were characterized by a higher activity of p65-subunit of nuclear factor (I group — 61.6 % with 95 % CI 59.7–64.2; II group — 33.8 pg/ml with 95 % CI 31.2-35.2; CG — 27.3 pg/ml, 95 % CI 26.4–28.6; p<0.05).

The use of modern technologies for the timely diagnosis of this pregnancy complication and the correct route of the patient allow to reduce blood loss significantly, to save not only the life of the mother and the child, but also to save the uterus in some cases.The objective: to evaluate the diagnostic possibilities of ultrasound examination of pathological placentation.Materials and methods. An ultrasound examination was performed in 86 pregnant women with pathological placentation. Ultrasound signs of pathological placentation are divided into two groups depending on the gray or color image.Results. In 92 % of examined pregnant women with pathological placentation, the clear zone was lost. In patients with placenta previa a loss of the hypoechoic retroplacental zone was found in 70 % of cases, a significant number of placental lacunae of various shapes and sizes – 87 %, segmental thinning of the myometrium <1 mm – 50 %.Protrusion of the uterus into the surrounding tissues is often observed due to placenta accreta, in cases of placenta percreta – the exophytic mass indicates the invasion of the placental tissue through the myometrium into the extrauterine organs. 80 % of pregnant women with placenta previa and 75 % of patients with placenta accreta have hypervascularization within or under the placental bed.Conclusions. Ultrasound examination is an affordable and effective method of visualization of pathological placentation. The following criteria for placenta accreta were established and confirmed: myometrial thinning <1 mm, placental lacunae, bladder wall rupture, loss of the lunate zone, placental protrusion, subplacental vascularization, uterovesicular hypervascularization, and vessels that vascularize the lacunae.","PeriodicalId":21003,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive health of woman","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75067072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
