A clinical study of anti-lymphocyte globulin as a means of suppressing Rh isosensitization in 56 pregnant women was carried out. Its use in combination with other methods contributed to a more favorable course of pregnancy, complicated by Rh-conflict. Anti-lymphocyte globulin causes a decrease in the pathogenic activity of the mother's immunological system in relation to the fetus.

The aim of the study is to find out the behavior factors helminthiasis Infection Disease in Pregnant Mothers. The sample size in this study was determined based on the sample size formula for testing the hypothesis of the proportion of one clinical study population of Skovland and Vatn (2007). The results of research on the influence of behavioral factors and environmental factors on helminthiasis in pregnant women in Langkat Regency in 2019 are Helminthiasis status. There are 175 pregnant women, 20 percent of pregnant women are infected with helminthiasis, and the most common type of worm is Ascaris lumbricoides. Behavioral factors. Behavioral factors have a significant influence on the incidence of helminthiasis in pregnant women, namely the habit of wearing footwear, the habit of washing hands with soap before eating and after defecation, the habit of consuming raw food and the habit of defecating in addition to toilet.

Background: WHO has declared COVID-19 infection a health emergency of international concern on 11th March, 2020. It is not clear whether clinical characteristics of pregnant women with COVID-19 differ from those of nonpregnant women and whether it aggravates COVID-19 symptoms and whether antiviral therapy is necessary for COVID-19 infected pregnant women.Methods: This is prospective study of 125 cases based on the compiled clinical data for pregnant women with COVID-19 between 15th April 2020 and 10th June 2020. A laboratory confirmed positive case of COVID-19 infection in pregnant women were included.Results: The most common symptoms at presentation were cough in 61.6% (77/125) and fever in 46.4% (58/125). Other reported symptoms were sore throat in 13.6% (17/125), myalgia in 10.4% (13/125) while 38.4% (48/125) were asymptomatic. There were total 97 deliveries (including 2 twins’ deliveries) among which 3 cases had IUD. Present study reported 96 live births. The incidence of missed abortion was 2.4% (3/125). The incidence of preterm birth before 37 weeks was 8.2% (8/97). Ninety-six (96.9%) of neonates were tested for SARS-CoV-2 viral nucleic acid on nasopharyngeal and pharyngeal samples and 16.67% (16/96) were resulted positive.Conclusions: At present, there is no evidence regarding the greater risk of pregnant women to succumb to COVID-19 infection and experience severe pneumonia. The risks of spontaneous abortion and preterm birth are not increased as reported in this study but shows possibility of vertical transmission when it manifests during the third trimester of pregnancy.

Objective This observational, clinical study was designed to assess the role of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), and resveratrol in in vitro fertilization (IVF). Methods Paired serum and follicular fluid (FF) samples were obtained from 30 consecutive patients (age: 36.43 ± 4.17 years, body mass index: 22.90 ± 2.05 kg/m2, duration of infertility: 5.10 ± 2.80 years) who received IVF treatment. SIRT1, SIRT6, and resveratrol levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results Ovarian hyperstimulation resulted in significantly higher serum SIRT1 levels in pregnant women (8 patients) compared with non-pregnant women (22 patients). SIRT6 levels remained unchanged after ovarian hyperstimulation, but were significantly lower in pregnant women compared with non-pregnant women before and after hyperstimulation. Both SIRTs were detected in FF, but they appeared to be independent of their serum levels. After correction for confounders, FF SIRT6 levels were positively related to mature oocytes (F = 6.609), whereas serum SIRT1 and SIRT6 levels were related to clinical pregnancy (F = 10.008, F = 5.268, respectively). Conclusions Our study shows that SIRT1 and SIRT6, but not resveratrol, are involved in human reproduction and they may have a role in oocyte maturation and clinical pregnancy in IVF.

Abstract We have developed a new and simple method of p-aminohippuric acid determination by use of dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (DACA). It differs from previous methods using DACA in that the reaction is carried out in ethanol rather than in dilute acid. This results in deeper and more stable color development. We have used this method successfully to determine effective renal plasma flow in a clinical study of this variable in pregnant women.
