Thrombophilia Screening

The utility of thrombophilia testing in clinical practice is still a matter of debate because studies have not shown a benefit in the reduction of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk in patients with thrombosis, despite the clearly higher VTE risk for first thrombosis. Screening for thrombophilia is indicated in selected patients. Particularly in selected young patients, especially women of childbearing age, the knowledge of the genetic thrombophilic defect may help in specific situations to decrease the risk of VTE events. Avoidance of modifiable risk factors and/or prophylactic thromboembolic procedures may be evaluated in selected patients. A comprehensive workup including personal and familial history, clinical examination, and laboratory test results including hereditary thrombophilia remains helpful in assessing the cumulative risk and the management of this group of selected patients.

Hiv Aids

<p>HIV infection in pregnant women can threaten the life of the mother and the mother can transmit the virus to their babies. Sleman PHC registered 2 people including one pregnant woman and one women of childbearing age in the year of 2014. Incidence of pregnant women suffering from HIV-AIDS in 2014 is 1 patients and detected from PITC test results for 7 weeks in a row is 1 patient. And in January year of 2015 found 1 patient with 3 times test and the results was positive. The purpose of this study was to determine relationship between Knowledge Level of Pregnant women about HIV/AIDS and Behaviour of PITC (Provider Initiated Test and Counselling) test. This study was a quantitative analysis of correlation with cross-sectional design. The population of this study were all pregnant women checkups at the health center in Yogyakarta Sleman.

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the immunity against rubella using the serological status of rubella-specific IgG antibodies (antirubella IgG) in Korean women of childbearing age (15–49 years).DesignRetrospective cross-sectional study.SettingPopulation-based cross-sectional study in South Korea.ParticipantsBetween January 2010 and December 2017, test results from Korean women aged 15–49 years who had visited an obstetric private clinic (nationwide institutions) and had requested rubella-specific IgG antibody tests from Green Cross Laboratories were obtained from the laboratory information system.ResultsBetween 2010 and 2017, antirubella IgG test results from 328 426 Korean women aged 15–49 years who had visited private obstetric clinics (1438 institutions nationwide) were retrospectively analysed by tested year, age, cohort and geographic regions. Over the 8-year study period, the rate of unimmunised women ranged from 7.8% to 9.7%. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models showed that the odds of being immune to rubella (positive and equivocal results of antirubella IgG test) were lower in 2017 compared with 2010, in women in their 40s, in a pre-catch-up cohort and in women living in Incheon, Busan, South Gyeongsang, North and South Jeolla and Jeju provinces (p<0.0001).ConclusionsIn consideration of the factors associated with prevalence of women unimmunised to rubella, future public health efforts should be focused on catch-up activities. The results of this study could be used to strengthen disease control and prevent rubella, including a nationwide immunisation programme.

National Emergency

The emergency hospital is intended to prevent transmission of COVID-19 in the community by isolating patients without symptoms, with mild or moderate symptoms. This study evaluated the clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients who were admitted to this facility. This retrospective study reviewed data of patients treated at the National Emergency Hospital Wisma Atlet Kemayoran in Jakarta, Indonesia, from March 23 to April 30, 2020. Patient characteristics (clinical symptoms, laboratory test results, Chest X-Ray, SARS-CoV-2 immunoserology, and RT-PCR results from nasopharyngeal/ oropharyngeal preparations) were compared between severity groups. There were 413 COVID-19 cases analyzed, of which 190 (46%) were asymptomatic, 93 (22.5%) were mild, and 130 (31.5%) were moderate cases. Most asymptomatic cases were male, with young age, and without comorbidity. Mild cases were dominated by female and young patients, while most moderate cases were male and older patients. The number of patients with comorbidities was higher in mild and moderate cases. The patient’s overall outcome was good and did not differ based on the severity of symptoms. Despite the many challenges, patients with moderate symptoms can be safely treated in the emergency hospital.

Careful History

We read with interest the article by Hostetter et al in Pediatrics and the companion article in American Journal of Diseases of Children. Although we agree with the need for careful history taking, physical examination, and selected screening laboratory tests for these (and all) children, we cannot agree with the recommendation for routine urine cultures for cytomegalovirus. More than one half of women of childbearing age in upper income groups have seronegative test results and, thus, are at risk for primary infection with cytomegalovirus.

The aim of the study. Assess the importance of pregravid preparation and outcomes of pregnancy and childbirth, depending on the reproductive attitudes of women in the city of Omsk. Materials and methods. The study included 92 women who were divided into groups: group A (n=43) - women whose pregnancy was planned; group B (n=49) - women whose pregnancy occurred accidentally. Each group was divided into subgroups depending on age: from 18 to 30 and from 31 to 49 years. For each patient included in the study, a specially designed map was filled out. These patients were interviewed at the City Clinical Perinatal Center. Results. Comparative analysis revealed the relationship between the reproductive settings of women of childbearing age and the peculiarity of the course of pregnancy and childbirth in these patients. Summary. The majority of women of fertile age are married: in subgroup AA - 25 (96.2%), AB - 13 (76.5%), BA - 25 (92.6%), BB - 20 (91.0%). The predominant number of women of fertile age have one or more abortions: in subgroup AA - 12 (46.2%), AB - 6 (35.3%), in subgroups of comparison BA - 8 (29.6%), BB - 6 (27.3%). More than half of the women of fertile age surveyed have a history of untreated cervical pathology (from 40.8% to 64.7%). The course of pregnancy in women planning pregnancy in most cases proceeded without complications: in subgroup AA - 13 (50.0%), AB - 11 (64.7%). The most common cause of complicated pregnancy in women whose pregnancy occurred accidentally is the threat of spontaneous miscarriage: in subgroup BA - 15 (55.6%), BB - 16 (72.7%). The uncomplicated course of labor more often [subgroup AA - 19 (73.0%), AB - 12 (70.6%)] was observed in women whose pregnancy was planned and they were motivated to give birth to a healthy child.
