The Placental Buffer Effect and the Pathophysiology of COVID-19: Possibilities for a Guide Aimed at Pregnant and Postpartum Women Considering Praxis: Theory, Clinical and Laboratory Observation

Leukocytes or white blood cells have a characteristic characteristic of different cells. Determination of the impression of the number of leukocytes is determined in the number of cells in the field of view. While the number of viewable field cells expressed is still quite varied. The purpose of this study was to determine the number of leukocytes in the field of view and expressed the impression of a sufficient amount. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Health Analyst Department Panrita Husada Bulukumba on 9 April 2017 to 14 July 2017. This type of research is a laboratory observation that aims to determine the criteria for assessing the impression of the number of leukocytes on a peripheral blood smear. Data analysis using statistical analysis is the average and standard deviations to determine the impression of the number of leukocytes and use 3 inspection zones. The results of this study obtained results in zone IV the number of leukocyte impressions said to be sufficient was 7-10, in zone V the number of leukocyte impressions said to be sufficient was 4-9, and in zone VI the number of leukocyte impressions said to be sufficient was 3-8.

During pregnancy, there will be a marked change in anatomy, physiology and biochemistry since the onset of pregnancy and often lackof nutrient intake. Hematologic disorder is often found in pregnant women because it causes pregnant women more susceptible to disturbances in blood circulation, The purpose of this study to determine the description of blood smear results in pregnant women in the laboratory RSUD H.A.Sulthan Daeng Radja District. This research is descriptive with laboratory observation approach. The sample used in this study were 30 samples of pregnant women who checked themselves in the Laboratory of RSUDH.A.Sulthan Daeng Radka Bulukumba District. The result of this research showed the result of peripheral blood smear on the morphology of erythrocytes using 30 samples of pregnant women showed 14 samples (46,66%) normocytic normochrom and the remaining 16 samples were morphological variation (53,33%), on morphological examination and platelet count with using 30 samples of pregnant women showed each 29 samples had morphology and normal platelet counts with respectively 96.66% percentage and platelet aggregation and decreased platelet count (thrombocytopenia) with each persentase 3.33%. At leukocyte morphology examination using 30 samples of pregnant women showed 29 samples had normal morphology with 96,66% percentage and one sample with hypersegmentation with percentage 3,33%. normal leukocyte count at 9 samples with percentage 30% and leukocyte count increased at 21 samples with percentage 70%.

Background: Selenium is a micronutrient, although required in low amounts, its importance in male and female reproduction is well known. Objectives: The core purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of selenium in human reproduction, during pregnancy/ lactation in women and newborns. The review explains side by side the sources of selenium, required amounts of selenium in humans and during pregnancy or lactation. Methods: Selenium deficiency is a major cause of male infertility. Similarly, selenium deficiency, both in pregnant and postpartum women, would greatly affect the health of the newborn baby in all respects. The effect of maternal selenium upon the fetus and the neonates even one year after birth has been explained with some recent examples. Results: The study elaborates the fact that the selenium deficiency in pregnancy and lactation is common due to fetal/infant development, so selenium supplements must be provided in order to overcome these deficiency symptoms. Conclusions: The better reproductive health in humans is possible due to the sufficient amounts of selenium present both in males and females as well.
