It is suggested that pregnancy is a state of conflict which diminishes as the pregnancy proceeds. This model of the emotional state is related to physiological findings during pregnancy. The patterning of the 17 hydroxycorticosteroids is discussed with reference to the emotional state. The relationship of the blood levels of steroids to histamine is examined and the balance of steroids and histamine in the blood is offered as the basis for several conditions in pregnancy and labor, namely, spontaneous abortion, eclampsia, and hydatidiform mole. The histamine-steroid balance is also related to length and termination of labor and possibly affects intra-uterine conditions and the foetus.

Postpartum hemorrhage is bleeding that occurs after the birth of the baby, placenta, and 2 hours after the placenta is born. One of the causes is anemia. Research in 2015, 60% of 100 mothers giving birth at RSIA Kirana Taman Sidoarjo experienced postpartum hemorrhage. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship of anemia in pregnancy with the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in labor mothers. The study design used an analytical survey with a retrospective method. The population of 206 maternity mothers was taken with simple random sampling technique as many as 136 samples in August 2017. Data were analyzed by Chi Square statistical test with 0.05. The results showed that postpartum hemorrhage was more experienced by mothers with anemia (66.7%) than  those without anemia (26.2%). While those who did not experience postpartum hemorrhage were more experienced by mothers who were not anemic (73.8%) than those who were anemic (33.3%). Chi square test results  (p=0.000  <0.05),  which means there is a relationship  of anemia in pregnancy with the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in labor mothers. Conclusions of the study were the relationship of anemia in pregnancy with the  incidence  of postpartum hemorrhage in labor mothers. It is expected that midwives and doctors conduct early detection of anemia so that appropriate care can be carried out.

Currently, studies aimed at assessing the emotional state and cognitive processes associated with the processing of emotionally determined information in patients with ischemic stroke, as well as finding the relationship between them are particularly relevant, mainly for the subsequent optimization of the therapeutic process. In order to identify the features of the emotional state and cognitive processes, a group of patients with ischemic stroke in the acute period in the amount of 25 people was examined. It was established that in patients with a lesion in the anterior cortex, depressive states in the acute period of stroke are more pronounced. Patients successfully reproduce emotionally significant words in comparison with neutral words; an interrelation between the level of anxiety and depression was found, which indicates that these states are comorbid. But, in turn, the relationship of the severity of anxiety and depression with the cognitive processes of recognition and reproduction, as well as differences in mnestic and gnostic activity in patients with different levels of anxiety and depression were not identified. After the treatment with Semax an improvement was noted.

Spontaneous abortion is an impeding factor for the success rates of human assistant reproductive technology (ART). Causes of spontaneous abortion include not only the pregnant mothers’ health conditions and lifestyle habits, but also the fetal development potential. Evidences had shown that fetal chromosome aneuploidy is associated with fetal spontaneous abortion, however, it is still not definite that whether other genome variants, like copy number variations (CNVs) or loss of heterozygosity (LOHs) is associated with the spontaneous abortion. To assess the relationship between the fetal genome variants and abortion during ART, a chromosomal microarray data including chromosomal information of 184 spontaneous aborted fetuses, 147 adult female patients and 78 adult male patients during ART were collected. We firstly analyzed the relationship of fetal aneuploidy with maternal ages and then compared the numbers and lengths of CNVs (< 4Mbp) and LOHs among adults and aborted fetuses. In addition to the already known association between chromosomal aneuploidy and maternal ages, from the chromosomal microarray data we found that the numbers and the accumulated lengths of short CNVs and LOHs in the aborted fetuses were significantly larger or longer than those in adults. Our findings indicated that the increased numbers and accumulated lengths of CNVs or LOHs might be associated with the spontaneous abortion during ART.

An analysis of the results of an empirical study of the relationship between mental states and personal qualities of persons under investigation under conditions of detention in a detention facility revealed correlations between stress tolerance and neuropsychic stress (the higher the stress resistance, the higher the level of neuropsychic stress of the persons under investigation), emotional lability and neuropsychological stress (the more pronounced the instability of the emotional state of the suspect and the less developed his ability to control himself, t m below the level of neuropsychic tension), personality type and neuropsychic tension (the level of psychological tension in those under investigation extraverts is higher than that of introverts), the type of personality and the dominant state (those under investigation extraverts are not prone to manifestation of unmotivated anxiety, and introverts are prone to the experience of unmotivated anxiety), emotional lability and dominant state (the more pronounced the instability of the emotional state of the suspects, the higher the level of relaxed spine), the type of interaction with people around them and the dominant state (people under investigation with a pronounced desire for trustingly frank interaction with people around them more clearly demonstrate the relaxedness of behavior), masculinity-femininity and the dominant state (people under investigation, whose mental activity proceeds mainly male-type, heavier transfer the situation of restriction of freedom. The stronger the degree of masculinity in such persons, the more critical their self-esteem is, the spontaneous aggression and the dominant state (the higher the level of psychopathisation of the introspective type in suspects, the higher the degree of satisfaction with their lives in general), depression and dominant state (in those under investigation). dissatisfied with their lives, the severity of depressive states is higher), reactive aggressiveness and depression (those under investigation with an aggressive attitude towards social circling and a pronounced desire to dominate is not prone to depressive states). The study of the mental states of a person deprived of liberty is important for the organization of the correction process and the development of recommendations for the prevention of the destructive behavior of persons under investigation due to their mental state.

AbstractThe Number of Maternal Mortality in Indonesia was highest in 2019 due to bleeding in 1.280 cases. Bleeding can occur due to anemia in pregnancy. Anemia in pregnancy can be said to be a conditions where hemoglobin (Hb) levels are below 11 gr % in the I and III trimesters, while in the II trimester hemoglobin levels are below 10,5 gr %. One of the causes of anemia in pregnancy is a lack of nutrients or malnutritions. To find out the relationship of nutritional status with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women through literature review. This study used literature review method with 6 articles sourced from online database with electronic search on Google Scholar and Garuda Portal published in 2011-2021. Critical study instrument used is using JBI (Joanna Briggs Institute). The result of this study showed that there is a link between nutritional status and the incidences of anemia in pregnant women with the result of p value <0,05. Nutritional status is one of the factors thet can lead to anemia in pregnant women.Keywords: Anemia; nutritional status; pregnant women.

Для разработки референтных значений биохимических показателей, характеризующих нормальное течение обменных процессов, исследованы пробы сыворотки крови быков-производителей голштинской породы (n=102), разделенных на 4 группы по возрасту и содержащихся в условиях племпредприятия Московской области. В сыворотке крови определяли концентрацию общего белка, альбумина, мочевины, креатинина, активность аланинаминотрансферазы (АЛТ), аспартатаминотрансферазы (АСТ). Установлено, что с возрастом быков достоверно увеличивается содержание в крови общего белка. У животных 2—4 лет этот показатель увеличился на 11% (P<0,01), 4—6 лет — на 19,1% (P<0,01), более 6 лет — на 21,5% (P<0,001) по сравнению с быками до 2-летнего возраста. Это связано с повышением глобулиновой фракции. С возрастом быков в связи с увеличением их живой массы отмечалось повышение концентрации креатинина в крови, а также мочевины. У производителей 4—6-летнего возраста содержание мочевины в крови увеличивалось на 47,9% (P<0,001) по сравнению с быками до 2 лет. Повышение активности АСТ у быков-производителей с возрастом можно связать с повышенной нагрузкой на печень и сердечно-сосудистую систему в связи с их производственным использованием. Полученные данные о метаболическом профиле производителей разных возрастов помогут на практике проводить мониторинг и корректировку состояния животных, а также в разработке эталонных значений для оценки здоровья и уровня питания.Questions of the relationship of indicators of protein metabolism in the body of bulls with age can serve as accumulative material for the development of reference values of biochemical indicators characterizing the normal course of metabolic processes. The serum samples of the Holstein breeding bulls (n=102), divided into 4 groups by age and contained in the conditions of the “Head Center for the Reproduction of Farm Animals”, were investigated. The following parameters were determined in blood serum: concentration of total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST). As a result of research, it has been established that with age, bulls reliably increase blood levels of total protein. In the 2—4 year old bulls, this indicator increased by 11% (P<0.01), 4-6 years old — by 19.1% (P<0.01), and over 6 years old — by 21.5% (P<0,001) compared with animals under 2 years. This was associated with an increase in the globulin fraction. With increasing age of the bulls, an increase in the concentration of creatinine in the blood was observed, which is associated with an increase in body weight of animals. Noted the increase in urea in the blood of the bulls with age. Thus, in the blood of bulls of 4—6 years of age, this indicator increased by 47.9% (P<0.001) as compared with analogues up to 2 years. An increase in AST activity in bulls with age can be associated with an increased load on the liver and the cardiovascular system due to their production use. The obtained data on the metabolic profile of the bulls of different ages will help in practice to monitor and adjust the condition of the animals and to develop reference values for assessing health and nutrition levels.
