C-reactive protein as a predictor of threatening preterm delivery.

OBJECTIVES: Preterm deliveries represent still one of the most important problems in contemporary obstetrics. They are associated with prematurity and higher rate of perinatal mortality and morbidity. During the last few years, the role of C-reactive protein (CRP) in prediction of threatening preterm delivery was emphasized. CRP is produced mainly inside the liver as a response to acute and chronic inflammatory processes. AIM: The aim of this study was to assess relations between C-reactive protein, oxytocinase, izooxytocinase and vaginal culture in prediction of preterm delivery. METHODS: This study was performed in the years 2000-2004 in the Department of Septic Obstetrics and Gynecology of Collegium Medicum of the Jagiellonian University. Some 389 patients hospitalized because of threatening preterm delivery or preterm delivery in tractu were enrolled into the trial. CONCLUSION: C-reactive protein is a useful marker of threatening preterm delivery, overtaking the results of vaginal culture. CAP1 and CAP2 are effective biochemical markers in pregnancy monitoring.

Influence of the operative treatment of leiomyomas on lipid profile.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to asses the influence of operative treatment of leiomyomas on lipid profile. The study was conducted from April 1, 2000, through April 30, 2002 in The Department of Septic Gynecology and Obstetrics at Collegium Medicum of the Jagiellonian University. METHODOLOGY: Most hysterectomies are performed because of leiomyomas, which are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive organ. Pathogenesis and evolution of uterine leiomyomas are not well understood. Treatment of leiomyomas is divided into operative and inoperative. Operative methods include generally laparoscopic myomectomy, conservative myomectomy and hysterectomy. 130 women with diagnosed leiomyomas were analyzed in four groups. CONCLUSION: Regardless of the type of performed surgery, decrease in cholesterol, HDL and LDL are observed 10 days after operation, with return to preoperative values at 6 months after surgical procedure. The highest level of cholesterol and LDL (6 moths from surgery) is observed in patients who underwent hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy.

[Severe infectious complications after an excessively long use of intrauterine device].

Intrauterine device (IUD) is a widely used method of contraception in the world. The aim of our study was to examine infectious cases due to a prolonged use of IUD. We present four patients who had carried IUD for about seventeen years. On admission, all cases were presenting symptoms of acute adnexitis. On further examination, we diagnosed tubo-ovarian abscess in two patients. In our article, we carefully describe all cases and focus attention on side effects of abnormally extended period of using IUD. We conclude that the only proper way of informing patients how to use IUD and good gynecological care while using IUD may protect against severe infectious complications of the genital tract.

[Nutrition habits in pregnant women].

INTRODUCTION: Proper diet during pregnancy is one of the conditions of correct fetal development and maintenance of good health of pregnant women. Increased demand for energy and nutritial substances is connected with growth of mother's tissue mass and also with growth of fetals mass and afterbirth. During pregnancy, quality composition of ailment is not only important, but also the quantity and regularity in taking meals. AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate nutrician status of pregnant women hospitalized in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Collegium Medicum of The Jagiellonian University. METHODS: There were 96 women, hospitilized for complications during pregnancy, from 1.11.2002 to 28.02 2003, in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Collegium Medicum of The Jagiellonian University, asked for filling up the questionnaire about their diet during pregnancy. RESULTS: Medium age of patients was 28.3 years. 47% of women were multiparas. Average body mass before pregnancy was 60 kg and BMI (Body Mass Index) was 21.95. 46% examined women had highschool education. In 96 of questioned women 50% took informations about proper diet during pregnancy from the pass, only 12.5% from the obstetricians. None of the questioned women defined their nutritian condition as bad or mild, for 72% it was good and for 28% very good. Most of them (69%) applied common diet without modifications, only 6% of women had good digestive diet. Alcohol was consumed occasionally by 22% of women, rest of them did not consume it at all. Majority of women, 90.5% did't smoke cigarettes, 6.5% smoked occasionally and 3% up to 10 cigarettes per day. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Obtained data suggests that nutrition habits don't change significantly during pregnancy. 2. Pregnant women are not enough informed about healthy diet during pregnancy by doctors which leads to irregularity in taking meals. 3. General nutritial status of pregnant women could be considered satisfactory in the most of cases.

[Assessment of prenatal care in pregnant women].

INTRODUCTION: The aim of Prenatal care of pregnant woman is to asses her general condition and as soon as possible all eventual complications associated with pregnancy. Only diagnoses of pathological states in early stages may allow to use prophylaxis and to treat it. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to asses prenatal care of pregnant women who delivered in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Collegium Medicum of The Jagiellonian University. MATERIAL/METHODS: On the basis of questionnaire we analyzed 100 pregnant women, the average age was 27.6, and different socioeconomic status who delivered neonates in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Collegium Medicum of The Jagiellonian University in 2002 year. RESULTS: Majority of patients were in the age range between 25 and 28 with middle education. 95.5% women underwent first obstetrical visit during first 3 months of the gestational age. The average number of obstetrical visits during pregnancy was 11. 69% women had one obstetrical visit per month. The average duration of visit was more than 20 minutes. 99% women underwent examinations for pregnancy induced hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus and anemia. Ultrasound examination was performed in 99% women. In majority of cases women were not enough informed about birthing school, possibilities of administration of anesthesia during labour, family delivery and sexual intercourses during pregnancy. CONCLUSION: 1. This study suggests that pregnant women benefit from appropriate medical care during pregnancy. 2. Correctly performed screening for pregnancy induced hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus and anemia allow to prevent pathology. 3. Pregnant women are not enough informed about possibilities of administration of anesthesia during labour, family delivery, birthing school and sexual intercourses during pregnancy.

[Conjoined twins (Monstra duplicia)].

The Authors present a delivery of conjoined twins--thoracopagus, of an 18 years old primigravida. A pregnant woman was admitted to delivery room with full cervical dilation. She underwent ultrasonography examination which showed bigeminal pregnancy--two fetus in breech presentation with the suspicion of conjoined twins. Ultrasonography measurements of fetus corresponded to gestational age of 23 weeks. The heart rate of the first fetus was about 40 per minute, the heart rate of the second fetus was undetectable. She underwent delivery through manual extraction of the fetuses. Both fetuses were female, without any signs of life. The result of the autopsy was: Hemithoracogastropagus holoacardius immaturus.
