Background: Diabetes has become a global pandemic because of aging population, sedentary life style, urbanization, and increasing incidence of obesity; this study was aimed to identify the maternal and perinatal outcome in Diabetes complicating pregnancies and to compare the outcome in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Overt Diabetes Mellitus.Methods: This was a descriptive study conducted from 1st April 2013-31st March 2014 on total 75 pregnant women. All antenatally diagnosed cases of GDM and overt diabetes, booked or unbooked, whoever came for delivery were studied. Both mothers and neonates were followed up in ante-partum, intra-partum, and post-partum period till their stay in hospital. Management of the patient was done as per the hospital protocol.Results: Out of 75 cases enrolled, 25.33% had GDM and 16% had overt diabetes mellitus.57.33%patients were multigravida, among which 40% had GDM and 17.33% had Overt Diabetes Mellitus.61.33% patients underwent LSCS, of which 41.33% had GDM and 20% had overt diabetes mellitus. Obstetric complication was more common in GDM patients (30.66%) compared to Overt (22.66%). 89.33%babies had good neonatal outcome and 10.66% babies (6.66% of GDM mothers and 4% of overt mothers) had poor neonatal outcome (macrosomia, hypoglycaemia, prematurity, respiratory distress with NICU stay and use of antibiotics, poor APGAR (<7 at 5 min), gross congenital malformation, hyperbilirubinemia, stillbirth and neonatal death).Conclusions: Maternal and perinatal complications was commonly seen in diabetic pregnancy though more common in GDM.The time has come for the Government of Nepal to implement an effective plan to the benefit of pregnant women with diabetes during pregnancy.

The aim: To study the features of the course of gestation and perinatal outcomes of delivery in women with vitamin D lack. Materials and methods: The article presents the results of studies of the characteristics of the course of pregnancy and delivery outcomes in 50 patients with vitamin D lack compared with a group of 50 somatically healthy pregnant women with normal level of 25 (OH) D. In order to establish a lack of vitamin D in pregnant women in the 10-12, 20-22, 30-32 weeks of gestation electrochemiluminiscence method by using a test system EURIMMUN (Germany) in the blood serum level of 25-hydroxycalciferol (25 (OH) D) in pregnant women. Results: When analyzing the structure of complications in women with vitamin D lack during pregnancy and childbirth we found out that risk of premature birth and premature births dominated among all the complications, respectively (58.0% and 36.0%) against (12.0% and 16.0%), p <0.05. Vitamin D lack in pregnant women is often associated with a wide range of obstetric and perinatal complications, namely: preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, bacterial vaginosis , premature rupture of membranes, placental abruption, abnormal labor activity, fetal distress that required delivery by Caesarean section. Conclusions: An analysis of the course of pregnancy and childbirth in women of thematic groups proved the expediency of an individual approach to the therapy of obstetric pathology among women with vitamin D lack. Despite the level of 25 (OH) D in the blood serum of a pregnant woman of 30 ng / ml and below, it is advisable to prescribe vitamin D for prophylaxes and treatment of Vitamin D deficiency in mother and fetus.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is the most frequently encountered endocrine disorder in pregnancy and is associated with adverse outcomes if remain undiagnosed or untreated. This study was done to compare the maternal and perinatal outcome of pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) with that of gestational diabetes (GDM). Methods: This observational analytical study with group comparison was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka from July 2015 to June 2016. This study was conducted on two groups of pregnant women: group A (PGDM) and group B (GDM). A total of 100 cases were selected and in each group 50 pregnant women were enrolled. Singleton pregnancy and age 18 to 45 years were included. Pregnancy with hypertension, heart disease, renal disease and other metabolic disorders were excluded. Results: In this study mean gestational age of the study subjects were 35.72 ± 2.61 weeks and 36.58 ± 2.34 weeks in PGDM and GDM groups. History of GDM [34.0% vs 16.0%], intrauterine death (IUD) [14.0% vs 2.0%] and abortion [22.0% vas 6.0%] were significantly higher among PGDM patients than GDM patients. Regarding present pregnancy complications, polyhydramnios [32.0% vs 14.0%], preterm delivery [38.0% vs 20.0%], vulvovaginitis [28.0% vs 12.0%] and premature rupture of membrane (PROM) [24.0% vs 8.0%] were significantly higher in PGDM than GDM patients. Wound infection was significantly high in PGDM groups [35.7% vs 11.1%] among the patients delivered by lower uterine Cesarean section (LUCS). Regarding perinatal complications, hypoglycemia [22.0% vs 8.0%], birth asphyxia [24.0% vs 8.0%], RDS [24.0% vs 8.0%] were significantly higher among PGDM comparing GDM patients. Conclusion: The maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregestational diabetes mellitus were less favorable than those of gestational diabetes mellitus. Birdem Med J 2019; 9(2): 127-132

ObjectiveProgranulin (PGRN) was recently introduced as a novel marker of chronic inflammatory response in obesity and type 2 diabetes capable of directly affecting the insulin signaling pathway. This study aimed to investigate the role of PGRN in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which is regarded as a model for early type 2 diabetes.MethodsPGRN serum levels were measured in 90 pregnant women (45 GDM and 45 normal glucose tolerance (NGT)). In addition, PGRN was measured during a 2-h, 75 g oral glucose tolerance test in 20 pregnant women (ten GDM and ten NGT) and in 16 of them post partum (ten GDM and six NGT).ResultsPGRN concentrations were significantly higher in pregnant women compared with post partum levels (536.79±31.81 vs 241.53±8.86, P<0.001). Multivariate regression analyses showed a strong positive correlation of PGRN with estrogen and progesterone. The insulinogenic index, a marker of early insulin secretion, displayed a positive correlation with PGRN, both during and after pregnancy (R=0.47, P=0.034; R=0.63, P=0.012). HbA1c and the oral glucose insulin sensitivity index showed significant post partum associations with PGRN (R=0.43, P=0.049; R=−0.65, P=0.009).ConclusionsPGRN concentrations are markedly lower after pregnancy regardless of the gestational glucose tolerance state. PGRN levels per se do not discriminate between mild GDM and NGT in pregnant women. Therefore, the development of GDM appears to be due to impaired β-cell function that is not related to PGRN effect.

Introduction. Based on the knowledge of early gestational disorders related to metabolic syndrome (MS), pathogenetically relevant preventive treatment meeting the requirements of perinatal pharmacology can be developed. Aim. To reveal clinical and laboratory characteristics of early pregnancy and develop pathogenetically relevant preventive monotherapy for unfavorable gestational and perinatal outcomes in women with metabolic syndrome. Material and methods. A total of 230 women were investigated and divided into four groups: Group I consisted of 68 pregnant women with MS who refused any preventive measures; Group II comprised 97 women with MS who received periconceptional preventive monotherapy with dydrogesterone, a progestagen; Group III consisted of 35 healthy primigravidas women with physiological course of gestation; Group IV comprised 30 healthy non-pregnant women. Laboratory testing during IIII trimesters allowed to assess the dynamics demonstrated by markers of lipid spectrum, endothelial dysfunction, apoptosis, decidualization, energy metabolism, and immunomodulation. Results. A balance between factors of physiological damage and gestational adaptation in the course of physiological pregnancy has been shown to be of primary significance. In women with MS, embryo-placental dysfunction develops during early pregnancy, and this stage is preceding for major obstetric syndromes. Preventive administration of dydrogesterone in women with MS appeared highly effective: NNT (number needed to treat) was 1.33 (95% CI 0.91.8); OR 5.2 (95% CI 4.65.7). Conclusion. Pregestational changes and atherogenic profile of gestational process determine the course of early pregnancy in women with MS with the development of embryo-placental dysfunction and major obstetric syndromes. High efficacy in the prevention of unfavorable gestational and perinatal outcomes was shown by preventive dydrogesterone monotherapy.

Oxidative stress (OS) plays an important role in embryo development, implantation, placentation, fetal development and labour. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with an increase in OS processes. However, the expression of OS biomarkers in pregnant women with DM remains unclear. Based on a literature review, the features of the pro- and anti-oxidant systems of pregnant women with different types of DM have been established. Pregnancy in patients with DM has been shown to be characterised by an activation of OS processes. This leads to an overexpression of free radicals (peroxynitrite), toxic derivatives (malonic dialdehyde, 8-isoprostane) and specific enzymes (asymmetric dimethylarginine, catalase) and a decrease in the synthesis of antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and uric acid). The modified expression of these biomarkers is observed both in the blood and the placenta of pregnant women. These disorders can cause an unfavourable course of pregnancy, abnormal development of the placenta and development of adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with DM. Nevertheless, given the inconsistency of data obtained, further scientific studies are needed to clarify this issue.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 appeared in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. Objective: To investigate the clinical manifestations including signs and symptoms, laboratory results, and perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with COVID-19. Materials and Methods: Scholarly databases such as PubMed via LitCovid hub, Embase, Scopus, Web of sciences, and Google scholar were searched on April 7, 2020. Meta-analysis was performed via comprehensive meta-analysis software using the Mantel-Haenszel method. The event rate with 95% CI was calculated for each variable. Results: Ten studies were selected. The pooled prevalence for fever, post-partum fever, cough, myalgia, fatigue, dyspnea, sore throat, and diarrhea were 66.8%, 37.1%, 35%, 24.6 %, 14.9%, 14.6%, 11.5%, and 7.6%, respectively. Laboratory test results were 49.8% for lymphopenia, 47.7% for leukocytosis, 83.7% for elevated neutrophil ratio, 57% for elevated C-reactive protein, and 71.4% for decreased lymphocyte ratio. The rate of cesarean section for delivery in all cases was 84%. Of the newborns of the corona positive mothers, only one had a positive test result. Also, there was only one death due to a decreased lymphocyte ratio. Conclusion: Fever was the most common sign and symptom in pregnant women with COVID-19. Among the laboratory tests, the highest amount was related to elevated neutrophil ratio. It seems that due to the differences between pregnant women and the general population, special measures should be considered to treat these patients. Key words: COVID-19, Pregnancy, Diagnosis, Signs and symptoms, Meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of anaemia is higher among women, including pregnant women. The estimation was about 24.8% of the population in the world suffering anaemia. Anaemia during pregnancy is a big problem because it can contribute morbidity and mortality, either in mother or newborn. The impacts of anaemia during pregnancy included post-partum haemorrhage, low birth weight (LBW), preterm delivery, and low Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration (APGAR) score. AIM: This study aimed to determine the correlation between haemoglobin concentration during pregnancy and the outcome of mothers and newborns. METHODS: It was a cohort study that included 200 pregnant women in second or third trimester at antenatal care of Sundari General Hospital Outpatient Clinic on February until September 2018. The participants were interviewed using a questionnaire, and their blood was checked to measure haemoglobin concentration using portable Easy Touch Hemoglobinometer. In the next three until six months, the following investigation was conducted to assess the maternal and neonatal outcome. RESULTS: The result of this study showed among the maternal outcome, only antepartum haemoglobin concentration had a statistically significant correlation with the haemoglobin concentration during pregnancy (p < 0.05), meanwhile, among the neonatal outcome. LBW was the only factor that statistically significantly correlated to the haemoglobin concentration during pregnancy (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: We can conclude that once anaemia occurs in pregnant women, then the women kept suffering from anaemia with its correlation was statistically significant.
