Currently, pediatricians, neonatologists of maternity hospitals often take part in perinatal consultations. One of the indications for early delivery may be chronic placental insufficiency diagnosed during an ultrasound examination. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of the main method of diagnosis of placental insufficiency at the present time – ultrasound evaluation of the placenta. Materials and methods. An analysis was made of 357 birth histories, exchange cards, protocols for screening ultrasound in the third trimester of pregnancy and conclusions of pathoanatomical investigation. Results. To substantiate the need for prenatal diagnosis of chronic kidney disease, a comparison was made of the evaluation of newborn babies on the Apgar scale and the state of the placenta according to histological data. With compensated chronic placental insufficiency, there was no difference in Apgar scores at the first and fifth minutes, whereas in the subcompensated stage, Apgar score on the Apgar scale was significantly lower in the first and fifth minutes than in the control group. To identify possible in practical use of the objective parameters of diagnosis of chronic kidney disease, the thickness of the placenta was measured during the screening ultrasound in the third trimester of pregnancy, as well as the thickness of the placenta after its separation. Significant differences in the thickness of the placenta or in the screening ultrasound, or when measuring the placenta after separation in patients with and without chronic placental insufficiency was not detected. When assessing a violation of the rate of maturation of the placenta in the third trimester of pregnancy, no significant differences were found in the presence and absence of placental insufficiency. An analysis of the amniotic index was carried out to determine the amount of amniotic fluid in patients of the main and control groups, which revealed no significant differences between the groups. Conclusions. The authors believe that the main indicators currently used for diagnosis of chronic placental insufficiency (thickness of the placenta, degree of maturity of the placenta, appearance of structural changes in the placenta, change in the amount of amniotic fluid) are uninformative and modern placenography does more harm than benefit. The only parameter determined during the screening study in the third trimester of pregnancy and having significant differences in the main and control groups is fetal hypotrophy.

As the pregnancy gets older, the attention and thoughts of pregnant women begin to focus on something that is considered as a climax, so that the anxiety experienced will intensify just before the childbirth. Excessive anxiety and sleep disorders during pregnancy can cause mental disorders in pregnant women and inhibit fetal growth. To determine the effect of prenatal gentle yoga and hypnotherapy on anxiety level and sleep quality in the third trimester pregnant women. This is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-post test with a control group. The sample was 32 respondents consisting of 16 respondents as an intervention group and 16 respondents as a control group taken by purposive sampling. The analysis used was the Paired T-test. There is a difference in the average of anxiety level in the third trimester pregnant women in the intervention and control groups with a p value 0,000; there is a difference in the average of sleep quality in the third trimester pregnant women in the intervention and control groups with a p value 0,000; and there is no difference in the average of anxiety level and sleep quality in the third trimester pregnant women in the intervention and control groups with a p value 0,64. Prenatal Gentle Yoga and Hypnotherapy have an effect in reducing the anxiety level and improving the sleep quality in the third trimester pregnant women.

Background: Dyslipidemia is hypothesized as one of the risk factor of chronic kidney disease and plays an important role in the progression of renal failure. The present study was conducted to assess the association between ratio of TG/HDL-C and CKD and other abnormalities in the lipid profile in CKD patients.Methods: This case-control study was conducted in Government General Hospital from July 2013 to November 2013. 100 patients with CKD were included as study cases. 100 healthy patients from the same hospital, who came with different illness other than the study disease were included as controls. Fasting lipid profile was done – total cholesterol, triglycerides and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) were measured and low-density lipoproteins, & TG/HDL ratio were calculated. Comparison of lipid parameters among study and control groups was done. P value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results: Majority of the study patients were under the age group of 40-50 years. Male dominance (86%) was seen in the study group. The association of HDL, LDL, TGL, TGL/HDL, TC parameters and stages of CKD was observed and found to be statistically significant (p value <0.0001 and <0.05). Comparison of lipid parameters among study and control groups were done and difference was found to be statistically significant (p value <0.0001).Conclusions: Dyslipidemia should be treated in early stages of CKD to prevent secondary complications.

Background: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can provide more improved images of renal blood flow and much more information of both macro- and microcirculation of the kidney as comparing to Doppler US. Objective: To investigate the usefulness of CEUS by analyzing differences in perfusion-related parameters among the three chronic kidney disease (CKD) subgroups and the control group. Methods: Thirty-eight patients with CKD and 21 controls who were age matched (20−49 years) and included. Included CKD patients were stratified into three groups according to their eGFR: group I, eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 (GFR category I and II); group II, 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 ≤ eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 (GFR category III); and group III, eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 (GFR category IV and V). Comparisons with the controls (eGFR > 90 ml/min/1.73 m2 ) were performed. Real-time and dynamic renal cortex imaging was performed using CEUS. Time-intensity curves and several bolus model quantitative perfusion parameters were created using the VueBox® quantification software. We compared the parameters among the CKD subgroups and between the CKD and control groups. Results: Eight patients were included in group I, 12 patients in group II, and 18 patients in group III. Significant differences were noted in the wash-in and wash-out rates between the CKD and control groups (p = 0.027 and p = 0.018, respectively), but not between those of the CKD subgroups. There were no significant differences of other perfusion parameters among the CKD subgroups and between the CKD and control groups. Conclusion: A few perfusion related CEUS parameters (WiR and WoR) can be used as markers of renal microvascular perfusion relating renal function. CEUS can effectively and quantitatively exhibit the renal microvascular perfusion in patients with CKD as well as normal control participants.

AbstractAbdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) primarily affect elderly men who often have many other diseases, with similar risk factors and pathobiological mechanisms to AAA. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of simple renal cysts (SRC), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and other kidney diseases (e.g. nephrolithiasis) among patients presenting with AAA. Two groups of patients (100/group), with and without AAA, from the Surgical Clinic Charité, Berlin, Germany, were selected for the study. The control group consisted of patients who were evaluated for a kidney donation (n = 14) and patients who were evaluated for an early detection of a melanoma recurrence (n = 86). The AAA and control groups were matched for age and sex. Medical records were analyzed and computed tomography scans were reviewed for the presence of SRC and nephrolithiasis. SRC (73% vs. 57%; p<0.001) and CKD (31% vs. 8%; p<0.001) were both more common among AAA than control group patients. On multivariate analysis, CKD, but not SRC, showed a strong association with AAA. Knowledge about pathobiological mechanisms and association between CKD and AAA could provide better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for these patients.
