We represent the results of the combined method of treatment and prevention of miscarriage in women with a multiple pregnancy and a high risk of the threat of termination the pregnancy because of using the obstetric unloading pessaries, combined with micronized progesterone. The efficiency of this method of treatment is evidenced by the rapid elimination of clinical symptoms of threatened abortion, accelerating the regression of ultrasound markers, reducing the number of complications in of pregnant women and reducing the time of their stay in hospital.Goal: To evaluate the effectiveness of the handling the obstetric pessary in combination with micronized progesterone at women with multifetal pregnancy and a high risk of miscarriage.Materials and methods. We analyzed 120 cases of multifetal pregnancies with signs of miscarriage within the terms from 16 to 28 weeks. The first group of the examined women was: 40 pregnant women with twins and signs of miscarriage, who in the scheme of treatment and prophylactic measures were offered to use the unloading obstetric pessaries in combination with continuous therapy by natural micronized progesterone until 36 weeks of pregnancy. The second group included 40 pregnant women with twins, who were laid seam on the cervix because of istmicocervical insufficiency and were applied short-term courses of therapy by gestagens. The control group comprised 40 pregnant women with twins at the age of 16-28 weeks of pregnancy who were conducted the therapy about the threat of miscarriage according to the current clinical protocols (Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine No. 624). It was carried out the analysis of the course of pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period and the state of neonatal adaptation in the surveyed groups.Results of the research and their discussion. In the first group, urgent childbirth occurred in 34 (85%) cases, in group II in 29 (72.5%) cases, in control group – in 25 (62.5%) cases. Cesarean delivery was performed in 7 (17.5%) patients of group I pregnant women, in 9 (22.5%) of group II patients and in 11 (27.5%) in the pregnant group. When studying the state of neonatal adaptation of newborns in the examined groups, the following results were obtained. The average weight of the newborns in group I was 3245 ±280 g, in group II 2865 ±365 g, in the control group - 2975 ±325 g (p>0.05). The evaluation of the state of newborns on the Apgar scale, respectively at the 1st and 5th minutes, was respectively: in newborns of the I group, 7.5 ± 1.4 and 8.4 ± 1.3 points, in group II - 7.3 ± 1.6 and 8.2 ± 1.1 points, in the control group – 7.2 ± 1.6 and 8.6 ± 1.2 (р 1-р 2> 0.05).Conclusions. Comprehensive prophylaxis of non-pregnancy in multiple pregnancies, combining the use of a traumatic cardiac cervix with the help of unloading obstetric pussies with progesterone preparations, allows prolonging pregnancy, preventing the development of prematurity, contributes to the improvement of perinatal indicators.

The objective: was to reduce the incidence and severity of the development of «Great Obstetrical Syndromes»: miscarriage of pregnancy, placental insufficiency, fetal growth retardation and / or fetal distress, preeclampsia, premature detachment of a normally located placenta, premature delivery, by developing an algorithm for prophylaxis during pregnancy in women at high risk for their development. Materials and methods. Clinical and statistical analysis of pregnancy in 88 pregnant women with high risk of decompensation of placental insufficiency was conducted. Depending on the method of preventing complications, 2 groups were formed. The I group included 58 pregnant women who were offered the following algorithm: micronized progesterone 200 mg PV from 6 to 20 weeks of gestation; from 21 to 26 weeks of gestation and from 31 to 36 weeks; phleboprotector with ultra-micronized fractions of bioflavonoids (Flego) 15 ml per os; with subsequent appointment from 21 to 26 weeks of gestation; and from 31 to 36 weeks. Group II included 30 pregnant women who had abandoned any proposed prophylactic measures. The control group consisted of 30 healthy pregnant women. Clinical and statistical analysis of pregnancy in the study groups was conducted. During statistical processing, personal computer and software Microsoft Excel XP and Statistica 6.0 Windows, methods of descriptive statistics, correlation analysis were used. The reliability of the difference between the indicators is estimated by the Student-Fisher criterion. Results. The method of prophylaxis of «Great Obstetrical Syndromes» by sequential administration from the early stages of pregnancy of micronized progesterone with the following appointment – from the second trimester of pregnancy – showed a high efficacy of the phleboprotector, which is manifested in a significantly lower number of cases of preeclampsia in the main group of 3.5% (2) versus 50% (15) in the control group, placental insufficiency was 13.8% (8) versus 100% (30); fetal growth retardation was 5.2% (3) versus 56.7% (17); fetal distress was 3.5% (2) versus 43 , 3% (13), preterm labor 1.7% (1) versus 13.3% (4) and in the absence of premature detachment normal but located on the placenta, severe forms of preeclampsia and placental insufficiency. Conclusions. Pregnant of «Great Obstetrical Syndromes» risk groups need timely prophylactic measures to reduce the likelihood of a pathological pregnancy and improve perinatal outcomes. The proposed prophylaxis scheme significantly lowered the incidence of large obstetric syndromes and improved neonatal outcomes. Key words: great obstetrical syndromes, pathological pregnancy, placental dysfunction, phleboprotector.

The article presents the results of the effectiveness of the combined antimicrobial drug Guinex Forte, the effect of which is caused by metronidazole and miconazole, and the Orgil tablets at the stage of pregravid preparation in women of high-risk group, with regard to the development of placental insufficiency of infectious genesis and intrauterine infection. The objective: is to demonstrate the effectiveness of pregravid preparation for the normalization of vaginal biocenosis in pregnant women of high infectious risk. Materials and methods. 150 pregnant women were investigated, of which 100 with a high risk of infectious risk for placental dysfunction and intrauterine infection: Group I – 50 pregnant women who did not undergo pregravid preparation; Group II – 50 pregnant women who planned pregnancy and conducted pregravid preparation for prevention and treatment of bacterial vaginosis and vaginal candidiasis; Control group consisted of 50 pregnant women who gave birth again, without obstetrical and extragenital pathology in history. per vaginum. Results. In pregnant women in Group II, an intermediate type of dysbiosis was 1.2 times less likely than in pregnant women of group I, and vice versa, normocenosis was achieved 9.7 times more often in pregnant women who received pregravid preparation. After the therapy in the pregravid period, in pregnant women of group II in the first trimester of pregnancy quantitative and qualitative indices of biocenosis of the vagina were approaching, in most cases, to normal. In general, the spectrum of the microflora decreased from 21 to 14 species due to the reduction of pathogenic forms of staphylococci, streptococci, enterobacteria, E. coli, klebsiela, cornebacteria and clostridia. In patients of group II, the concentration of representatives of resident flora increased (lactobacillus Lg 5.06±0.7 CFU / ml and bifidobacterium-Lg 4.4±0.6 CFU / ml) and close to normal. Conclusion. Our proposed scheme of therapy and prevention of dysbiotic conditions in the pregravid period, in women of high infectious risk group led to a decrease in bacterial contamination of maternity paths of pregnant women in group II, which contributes to the restoration of vaginal microbiocenosis and positively affects the course of pregnancy, the condition of the fetus and the newborn. Key words: pregravid preparation, bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, placental dysfunction of infectious genesis, intrauterine infection.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as carbohydrate intolerance of variable severity with onset or first recognition during the present pregnancy. It affects 7% of all pregnancies worldwide and in India it ranges from 6 to 9% in rural and 12 to 21% in urban area. The aim of this study was to compare the DIPSI criteria with the two-step method (Carpenter and Couston criteria.) and to study merits and demerits of one step and two step tests for GDM.Methods: A total 400 pregnant women of gestational age between 24-28 weeks attending antenatal clinic at this study tertiary care center were enrolled in this study. 200 pregnant women were enrolled in each of the study group (Group I OGTT and Group II DIPSI).Results: In Group I (OGTT) screening 47 (23.5%) were tested positive. In Group II cases, screening test results were found positive among 44 (22%). Out of 95 high-risk pregnant women 38 (40%) were positive for GDM by OGTT and 34 (35.78%) were positive by DIPSI. Out of 305 non high-risk pregnant women, 9 (2.95%) were positive for GDM by OGTT and 10 (3.27%) were positive by DIPSI.Conclusions: Present study concludes that DIPSI is the test which can predict GDM in population comparable to another test like OGTT. Also, India’s major population reside in rural areas, ANC are mostly conducted by ANM, therefore screening test should be easy to perform and interpret.

Research aim was to study the features of perinatal complications depending on the nature and timing of therapy in pregnant women with primary placental dysfunction.Materials and methods. 82 pregnant women with verified placental dysfunction (chorionic hypoplasia at 12–13 weeks) against the background of the threat of pregnancy termination and genital tract infections were included. All examined were divided into 2 groups: group I consisted of 42 pregnant women who started treatment before 16 weeks of gestation, group II consisted of 40 pregnant women whose treatment was started after 16 weeks of gestation. Women in group I received micronized progesterone, venotonic Normoven, Magnicum and Artihol. Antibacterial sanitation was carried out before 16 weeks of gestation. Group II also received micronized progesterone only. Antibacterial sanitation in this group was carried out after 16 weeks of gestation.Research results. After antibiotic therapy in group I monoinfections value decreased from 26.8 to 9.5%, mixed infections value decreased from 56.1 to 20.7%, while in group II the effectiveness of antibacterial therapy after 16 weeks was significantly lower. Statistically significant differences in weight, volume and area of the placenta in patients of studied groups were obtained. Assessing perinatal complications showed that the frequency of gestosis, premature birth, intrauterine growth retardation and intrauterine infection of the fetus were almost 2 times less frequent in group I than in group II.Conclusions. Placental dysfunction, which developed in the first trimester against the background of the threat of pregnancy termination and genital tract infections, is the basic pathology for complications of the perinatal period. A timely prescribed set of medical supplies, including micronized progesterone, venotonic Normoven, Artihol and Magnicum, was as an effective method of preventing perinatal complications in pregnant women with primary placental dysfunction. Antibiotic therapy up to 16 weeks of gestation does not fully prevent the development of perinatal complications, but it can significantly reduce the level of severe gestational pathology.

The high prevalence of the vitamin D (VD) deficiency states (VDDS) among adults, as well as the data on the pleiotropic effects of calcitriol suggests its participation in the development of various complications and pregnancy outcomes. The objective of the present study is to analyze the pregnancy course and delivery tactics of pregnant women with placental dysfunction (PD) depending on the calcitriol availability. We examined 56 patients with PD (I – main group) and 40 conditionally healthy women with physiological pregnancy (II – control group). In addition to the standard clinical and laboratory examination, the level of vitamin D in the blood was determined by ELISA. The statistical analysis used the software Biostat, Statistica 6.0. In 76.8 % of group I women, the VD content corresponded to the deficit (38.4 %) and to the suboptimal status (38.4 %), (RR = 3.0; 95 % CI 2.39–3.76). In group II, VDDS was not detected and the suboptimal status was diagnosed in 31.45 %. The average VD level in group I was significantly lower than that in group II (31.4 ± 8.6 ng/ml vs 43.54 ± 11.2 ng/ml; Uemp = 42.5; p < 0.05). The caesarean section rate in group I was 3.4 times higher than that in group II (42.85 % vs 12.5 %; F = 0.00001; p < 0.01). The weight of newborns in group II significantly exceeded the weight of children in group I (3643.24 ± 136 g vs 3299.11 ± 128 g; t = 4.17; p < 0.01); a strong direct correlation was found between the weight of the newborn and the VD level in the blood of pregnant women (r = 0.71). VDDS increases 2 times the risk of abdominal delivery (RR = 1.27; 95 % CI 0.95–1.66). The VD status of a pregnant woman can have a certain influence on the formation of optimal adaptive-compensatory mechanisms in the utero-placental-fetal system and on the pregnancy outcome for mother and fetus.

Study Objective: To optimize pregnancy management and improve delivery outcomes in women with infertility of endocrine origin after the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Study Design: This was an analytical prospective study. Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty patients with singleton pregnancy were observed: 74 women with infertility of endocrine origin who had undergone in vitro fertilization (IVF) (Group I) and 46 women who became pregnant spontaneously (Group II). The main group (Group I) was divided into subgroup IA (n = 44), in which a comprehensive approach to pregnancy was applied (obstetric pessary and micronized progesterone), and subgroup IB (n = 30) consisting of patients for whom micronized progesterone alone was used. Study Results: Groups I and II differed significantly in miscarriage risk rates: 60.8% and 30.4%, respectively. This complication was most often observed in subgroup IB (80.0%), 2.6 times more often than in Group II (χ2 = 5.700; p = 0,029). There were also statistically significant differences between the groups in the rate of preterm delivery (PD), which was 5.6 times higher in the main group than in the control group (24.3% vs. 4.3%, χ2 = 4.915; p = 0.027). The greatest difference from the control group (9.3 times higher rate) was observed in subgroup IB (χ2 = 10.156; p = 0.004). Conclusion: A comprehensive approach makes it possible to prolong pregnancy, reduce rates of PD by a factor of 2.9 and achieve full-term pregnancies in 86.4% of cases. Keywords: pregnancy, IVF, ART, obstetric complications, perinatal outcomes, Arabin pessary.

The thyroid gland pathology is one of the most common in the world and is on the samelevel with diabetes mellitus and diseases of the cardiovascular system in its importance.Extragenital pathology, in particular, nodular goiter in pregnant women acts as anadditional stress factor that can negatively affect hormonal relationships in the motherplacenta-fetus system and contribute to an increase in the frequency of complications ofpregnancy, childbirth, and impairment of the fetus and newborn condition.The aim of this work – to study the disturbance effect in the hormonal function of theplacenta on the condition of the fetus and newborn from women with nodular goiter.Material and methods. The analysis of the state of the fetus and newborn of 20 apparentlyhealthy women (control group) and 54 women with nodular goiter (main group). Of these,30 newborns from women with grade I nodular goiter were included into group I, and24 newborns from women with grade II nodular goiter were included into group II. Theintrauterine fetus state was judged about according to the data of cardiotocography, fetalbiophysical profile (FBP), ultrasound examination, and Doppler results. The functionalstate of the fetoplacental complex was assessed by determining the serum concentrationof estradiol (Е2), estriol Е3), progesterone, placental lactogen, as well as the results ofhistological examination of the placentas.Results. The study of the placenta hormonal function, the results of ultrasound diagnosticsand histological examination of the placentas indicate the presence of placentaldysfunction in pregnant women with nodular goiter, that affected the condition of thefetus and newborn. Thus, the cardiotocographic index in fetuses from pregnant women,suffering from nodular goiter, is significantly less than in healthy pregnant women(p<0.05). The average PPI score in women with nodular goiter is also significantly lowerthan in the control group (p<0.05). Doppler data indicate a change in the parameters of the maternal hemodynamics, that led to a violation of the uteroplacental blood flow, thedevelopment of fetal hypoxia.Conclusions. The presence of nodular goiter in the mother is a risk factor for placentaldysfunction. Starting from the second trimester of pregnancy, there are significant changesin the content of placental hormones in the blood. A decrease in the concentration ofprogesterone in the blood serum in pregnant women with nodular goiter, in the latestages of pregnancy, can serve as a marker of the threat of termination of pregnancyand premature birth. A decrease in the content of estradiol and placental lactogen inthe maternal blood serum can be used as a marker of fetal distress in pregnant womenwith nodular goiter. The condition of the fetus and newborn is in direct proportion to thedegree of manifestation of the nodular goiter and the functional state of the placenta.

The aim: Study of the relationship between cervical insufficiency and dysplastic stigma in miscarriages. Materials and methods: 80 pregnant women were examined at 23-27 weeks of gestation.) Group I included 40 pregnant women with the threat of premature birth, with habitual miscarriage and correction of cervical insufficiency (CI) by using pessary in the anamnesis. Group II consisted of 20 pregnant women with the threat of premature birth and correction of CI by using pessary without the burden of habitual miscarriage, the control group of 20 almost healthy pregnant women. Results: The studies revealed phenotypic signs of dysplastic stigmatization in 39 (97.5 + 2.5%) pregnant women of group I, in 18 (90.0 + 6.9%) group II and in 4 (20.0 + 9.2%) control, which indicates a high prevalence of connective tissue dysplasia in women with CI, which also has a laboratory reflection in the form of increased excretion per day of oxyproline and a decrease in total glycosaminoglycans in both groups at risk of preterm birth. Conclusions: The most common gestational complication in women with connective tissue dysplasia is the risk of premature birth. Improving existing and finding new diagnostic and therapeutic measures for women with UDСTD will reduce the risk of preterm birth.

Severe and massive bleeding remains one of the main causes of maternal mortality and morbidity. The use of terlipressin has proved to be effective in the prevention of postpartum haemorrhage in the high-risk group. Given that terlipressin is a potent vasopressor, there are concerns about its use in parturient women with hypertension. Objective. To evaluate the hemodynamic effects of terlipressin when it is injected into the myometrium during caesarean section. Patients and methods. This publication is a continuation of the research work on the effectiveness of terlipressin in the prevention of postpartum haemorrhage in high-risk pregnant women, which was conducted between February and December 2020 with the participation of 5 medical centers. The study included 454 pregnant women who delivered by caesarean section. They were divided into two groups: control group I (n = 351) and study group II (n = 103), with local application of terlipressin injected into the thickness of the myometrium. During the study, the parameters of non-invasive hemodynamics were assessed. Results. When assessing the indicators of non-invasive blood pressure, no statistically significant difference was found between the groups. The analysis of heart rate showed slight statistical difference at the stage of operation and in the postoperative period. A significant difference in values of shock index in dynamics was found between the groups, which, nevertheless, were within acceptable limits, and the difference had no clinical significance. Conclusion. The study showed that the use of terlipressin does not significantly affect the parameters of non-invasive hemodynamics, which can complicate the operation or the labor outcome. Key words: obstetric haemorrhage, terlipressin, hemodynamics
