There were no significant differences between the GBS-positive and GBS-negative groups in maternal age, mode of delivery, gestational age at birth, maternal comorbidities, parity, GBS status in previous pregnancies, and the development of infection among infants of both groups, regardless of IAP administration.

Subjecting a pregnant woman to violence can have negative effects on both the mother as well as the child. In Poland, there are programs, such as the Blue Card, aimed at protection against violence, however the phenomenon is underestimated. Documentation covering forensic examinations carried out at the request of the police or privately at the Department of Forensic Medicine in Poznan in the years 2015-2020 was analyzed. Out of 7,689 cases, 22 were concluded to meet the criteria of violence against pregnant women. The cases were then further analyzed, consideration of the victim's age, professional status, relations with the perpetrator, form of physical violence, and medical assistance. The average age of the women at the time of the incident was 31.1 years. In 90.1% of the cases, the perpetrator was a known man, usually a current or former partner. The most common injuries were abrasions and bruises, while the most common locations of injuries were the head, neck, and arms. The most common forms of violence were grappling, kicking, and hitting with an open hand. Over 72% of the women sought medical attention after the incident. There is a need for educational programs concerning the effects of violence during pregnancy and ways to help. Gynecologists and midwives play an especially important role, by having direct contact with the patient, thus being able to quickly identify victims of violence and take actions to secure safe environment for the woman and the child.","PeriodicalId":94021,"journal":{"name":"Ginekologia polska","volume":"49 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140709726","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}

It has been proven that the benefits of this type of nutrition go beyond nutritional aspects, proper growth and development. The list of long-term metabolic benefits, which include reducing the incidence of obesity, allergies, infections and diabetes, is constantly growing. It has been shown that the method of feeding infants using various mechanisms may influence the tendency of the liver to accumulate fatty compounds and develop fatty liver disease with its metabolic consequences leading to liver failure, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. This is an important discovery due to the growing obesity epidemic in adults and children. Metabolic dysfunction - associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has become the most common cause of chronic liver disease, affecting 25% of the global population. The results of studies conducted in recent years have shown the protective effect of breastfeeding on the risk of developing MAFLD later in life in both children and breastfeeding women.
