A review of neonatal mortality at the Maternity Division of the Buffalo Children's Hospital from 1948 to 1957 has been presented, with primary emphasis on the occurrence of pulmonary hyaline membrane. During this period there were 26,109 infants born alive, including 2,001 below 2,500 gm in weight, a prematurity rate of 7.7%. Using a factor to correct for dead infants not necropsied, an incidence of hyaline membrane of 39.1 per 1,000 live-born prematures and 0.7 per 1,000 live-born full-term infants was obtained. These rates are compared to those previously reported. Among singleton infants under 2,500 gm birth weight the frequency of hyaline membrane was greater for those infants born to mothers with either bleeding or toxemias as complications of pregnancy. An increased rate among premature infants delivered by cesarean section was also obtained, but this increase was limited to those pregnancies with bleeding. Infants delivered of mothers with a history of prior stillbirths had a nearly three-fold greater incidence rate of hyaline membrane than did those mothers without such history. However, mothers with previous premature births or miscarriages did not show this increase. The suggestion is advanced that hyaline membrane, and perhaps other instances of respiratory distress of the newborn, may result from a process of intrauterine asphyxia, which in many instances is manifested also by maternal bleeding.

Postpartum hemorrhage is bleeding that occurs after the birth of the baby, placenta, and 2 hours after the placenta is born. One of the causes is anemia. Research in 2015, 60% of 100 mothers giving birth at RSIA Kirana Taman Sidoarjo experienced postpartum hemorrhage. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship of anemia in pregnancy with the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in labor mothers. The study design used an analytical survey with a retrospective method. The population of 206 maternity mothers was taken with simple random sampling technique as many as 136 samples in August 2017. Data were analyzed by Chi Square statistical test with 0.05. The results showed that postpartum hemorrhage was more experienced by mothers with anemia (66.7%) than  those without anemia (26.2%). While those who did not experience postpartum hemorrhage were more experienced by mothers who were not anemic (73.8%) than those who were anemic (33.3%). Chi square test results  (p=0.000  <0.05),  which means there is a relationship  of anemia in pregnancy with the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in labor mothers. Conclusions of the study were the relationship of anemia in pregnancy with the  incidence  of postpartum hemorrhage in labor mothers. It is expected that midwives and doctors conduct early detection of anemia so that appropriate care can be carried out.

It is suggested that pregnancy is a state of conflict which diminishes as the pregnancy proceeds. This model of the emotional state is related to physiological findings during pregnancy. The patterning of the 17 hydroxycorticosteroids is discussed with reference to the emotional state. The relationship of the blood levels of steroids to histamine is examined and the balance of steroids and histamine in the blood is offered as the basis for several conditions in pregnancy and labor, namely, spontaneous abortion, eclampsia, and hydatidiform mole. The histamine-steroid balance is also related to length and termination of labor and possibly affects intra-uterine conditions and the foetus.

A comparative study of 71 patients aged 3 to 10 years was carried out, the average age was 4.73±1.99 years, including 29 males (40.8%) and 42 females (59.1%). Patients were divided into 2 groups. The first group, “spondylogenic acute sinusitis”, was 40 people; the second – “spondylogenic recurrent sinusitis” – 31 patients. In the course of the study, clinical, radiological, electrophysiological (electromyographic) data were compared and the tactics of managing and treatment of the children with a diagnosis of acute spondylogenic sinusitis who received a birth injury of the cervical spine were formed. The treatment regimen consisted of a comparative analysis of the traditional standard of treatment (prescribing decongestants, nasal cavity toilet, antibacterial drops in the nose, secretolytics, if it necessary antibiotics) of spondylogenic acute and recurrent sinusitis with an integrated method that includes the basics of traditional treatment with the addition of local effects on the affected cervical vertebral-motor segments (acupressure, light traction over the cervical spine, post-isometric relaxation of the neck muscles). The persistent positive effect we obtained from the complex treatment of “spondylogenic sinusitis in children” prompts a special study of the relationship of congestive inflammatory phenomena in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses with birth trauma of the cervical spine of neuropathologists, obstetrician-gynecologists together with otorhinolaryngologists.

Background: Objectives of the current study were to detect high-risk-risk-risk factors in pregnancy their presentations and to develop a simple scoring system to identify and categorize high-risk pregnancies and to predict the maternal and neonatal outcomes by comparing our results to previous studies. Methods: In this retrospective study, antepartum, intrapartum and neonatal parameters were integrated into the clinical records and the relationship of a risk score to the outcome was evaluated for 346 randomly selected pregnant patients over 7 months. Conclusions: The present study shows that we achieve comparative and better results in high-risk pregnancy, improving both maternal and fetal outcome at our institute.

AbstractThe Number of Maternal Mortality in Indonesia was highest in 2019 due to bleeding in 1.280 cases. Bleeding can occur due to anemia in pregnancy. Anemia in pregnancy can be said to be a conditions where hemoglobin (Hb) levels are below 11 gr % in the I and III trimesters, while in the II trimester hemoglobin levels are below 10,5 gr %. One of the causes of anemia in pregnancy is a lack of nutrients or malnutritions. To find out the relationship of nutritional status with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women through literature review. This study used literature review method with 6 articles sourced from online database with electronic search on Google Scholar and Garuda Portal published in 2011-2021. Critical study instrument used is using JBI (Joanna Briggs Institute). The result of this study showed that there is a link between nutritional status and the incidences of anemia in pregnant women with the result of p value <0,05. Nutritional status is one of the factors thet can lead to anemia in pregnant women.Keywords: Anemia; nutritional status; pregnant women. AbstrakAngka Kematian Ibu di Indonesia paling tinggi tahun 2019 disebabkan oleh perdarahan sebanyak 1.280 kasus. Perdarahan dapat terjadi karena anemia dalam kehamilan. Anemia dalam kehamilan dapat dikatakan suatu kondisi dimana kadar hemoglobin (Hb) dibawah 11 gr % pada trimester I dan III, sedangkan pada trimester II kadar hemoglobin dibawah 10,5 gr %. Salah satu penyebab anemia dalam kehamilan adalah kurangnya zat gizi atau malnutrisi. Untuk mengetahui hubungan status gizi dengan kejadian anemia pada ibu hamil melalui literature review. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode literature review 6 artikel yang bersumber dari database online dengan penelusuran elektronik pada Google Scholar dan Portal Garuda yang dipublish pada tahun 2011-2021. Instrument telaah kritis yang digunakan yaitu dengan menggunakan JBI (Joanna Briggs Institute). Hasil penelitian literature review dari 6 artikel menunjukkan ada hubungan antara status gizi dengan kejadian anemia pada ibu hamil dengan hasil p value <0,05. Status gizi merupakan salah satu faktor yang dapat mengakibatkan anemia pada ibu hamil.Kata kunci: Anemia; ibu hamil; status gizi.
