Background Diagnosis of perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and early prediction neurological outcome is important and difficult. The aim of this study is to determine the value of neuron ...specific enolase (NSE) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) analysis in blood serum (BS) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for evaluating severity HIE and predicting long term outcome in nenates with perinatal asphyxia. Method 90 neonates (>32 weeks gestation) with perinatal HIE were enrolled prospectively. Perinatal HIE was categorised into three stages according Sarnat and Sarnat clinical scoring system and changes seen on amplitude integrated electroencephalography. NSE and LDH analysis in BS and CSF were taken during first 48h of age. Neurodevelopment outcome was assessed at 12 months of corrected gestational age using Denver Developmental Screening Test. Results Concentrations of NSE and LDH in CSF were significantly higher in neonates with advanced stage of HIE and corresponded well with subsequent neurodevelopment outcome (p<0.01). Concentrations of LDH in BS were significantly higher in neonates with advanced stage of HIE and corresponded well with MODS (p<0.01) and subsequent neurodevelopment outcome (p<0.01) while concentrations of NSE in BP were no significantly higher in neonates with advanced stage of HIE (p>0.5). Conclusions NSE and LDH analysis in CSF are accurate diagnostic tool for assessing extension of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage and early identification neonates with perinatal HIE who are at high risk of developmental delay. LDH analysis in BP also might offer an inexpensive, safe and simple prognostic tests for evaluating nenates with perinatal HIE.
Evaluation of ultrasound measurements of fetal adipose subcutaneous tissue (ASCT), abdominal circumference (AC), liver length (LL), and amniotic fluid index (AFI) in prediction of fetal macrosomia ...(FM) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
In a prospective clinical trial, 280 pregnant women underwent 100 g oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT) at 28th week of gestation (wg) and measurements ofAC, LL, AFI, and ASCT at 32nd, 34th, 36th, and 38th wg.
For GDM, the best sensitivity was achieved by ACST at 32nd and 34th wg, the best specificity by LL at 32nd wg (90.6%), the best area under the curve (AUC) by LL at 34th wg (0.944). For FM the best sensitivity was achieved by AC at 32th, 34th, 36th, and 38th wg and by ASCT at 34th wg (94.2%), and the best AUC at 38th wg for AC (0.974).
Ultrasound parameters of glycemic control were good predictors of FM and GDM.
T0 investigate how the regularity of checkups in pregnancy influences maternal behavior regarding habits in prevention of urinary tract infection (UTI), the level of information, and finally the ...prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB).
This study included 223 women with regular and 220 women with irregular checkups in pregnancy were given the questionnaire on the following issues: frequency of sexual intercourses during pregnancy, the regularity of bathing and changing of underwear, the direction of washing the genital region after urinating, the regularity of antenatal visits to gynecologist, and the subjective experience concerning the quality of the information received by the healthcare provider.
AB was present significantly more frequent in group of participants with irregular controls during pregnancy compared to group with regular checkups in pregnancy. The prevalence of AB was higher in those women who had irregular prenatal checkups. Maternal behaviors related with the risk of urinary infections are more frequent among women with irregular prenatal care.
Results of the present study emphasize the importance of regular prenatal care in AB prevention.
