At present, the study of the peculiarities of the reproductive history of patients planning pregnancy is considered to be a promising area for the effective ensuring the timely and highly successful implementation of their reproductive intentions. Goal — to conduct an analytical retrospective assessment of the reproductive history of patients with childbirth in the pelvic presentation. A retrospective analysis of medical records has been conducted on the basis of the Odessa Regional Perinatal Center, medical records of 300 primipara and secundipara with pregnancy with one fetus in the breech presentation have been studied: I — the main group (MG) (n=150), women who gave birth in the pelvic presentation; ІІ — control group (CG) (n=150), women who gave birth in the cephalic presentation. Statistical processing of the results of the study was carried out using the statistical packages of the program Statistica for Windows (version 6.1) by the means of parametric and nonparametric statistics. The study of submitted medical documents showed a statistically less favorable gynecological history of women from MG: while the majority of women with MG were multipara — 96 (64%), in CG, the number of patients was lower — 67 (44.6%) cases (p<0.05). The number of cases of urgent labor in the MG — 137 (91.3%) was greater than in the control group — 118 (78.7%) (p <0.05). The frequency of operative birth in MG was 102 (68%) cases compared to 44 (29.3%) (p<0.05) in CG. The operative birth in CG occurred only in 5 (11.4%) cases, whereas in MG there were 13 cases (100%) (p<0.05). Therefore, the prevalence of cases of operative delivery and less amount of cases of preterm births have been indicated in MG.

The study was carried out to analyze database of registered diseases of peripheral arteries in patients of Yekaterinburg during 2009-2013. The database of the territorial foundation of mandatory medical insurance of the Sverdlovsk region in 2009-2013 was used as study material. The number of registered cases of treatment of diseases of peripheral arteries was analyzed. The sampling of patients with diseases of peripheral arteries taking treatment in twenty-four-hours and day-time hospitals. The statistical processing was applied to all cases ranged by years: patients with compensated blood circulation, critical ischemia of extremities and mortification. The audit was applied to randomly selected 40 medical records of patients with diseases of peripheral arteries, receiving treatment in twenty-four-hours and day-time hospitals during 2014 and 50 medical records ofpatients with diseases ofperipheral arteries against the background of diabetes mellitus from register of the oblast podiatry consulting room. The total number of treated patients with diseases ofperipheral arteries in Yekaterinburg during five years made up to 31,309, including 19% ofpatients with diabetic affection of lower extremities. In twenty-four-hours hospital 12,716 (40.6%) patients were treated and 18,593 (59.4%) were treated in day-time hospital. The study established increasing in day-time hospitals number of patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans up to 1.8 times, with diabetic angiopathy up to 3.6 times. At increasing of number of treated patients number ofpatients with critical ischemia of lower extremities during 5 years decreased insignificantly and number of large amputations have a certain trend to decreasing (up to 2.5%). The study established deviations under application of medicinal therapy in patients with diseases of peripheral arteries at pre-specialized stage and absence of achievement of target values of main laboratory parameters. The database of registered diseases of peripheral arteries can be used as a tool for data analysis and further management decision making with purpose of enhancing quality of medical care of patients residing in municipality.

This study analysed the number of patients admitted with diphtheria to a teaching hospital in the state of Assam in India over a period of five years and compared the disease characteristics and management with outcomes and incidences of diphtheria reported in the literature. It was a retrospective analysis of data elicited from clinical records of patients admitted to hospital.A total of 101 admissions were recorded during a five-year period between March 1997 to March 2002, mostly with pharyngeal diphtheria (90 per cent). The majority of patients had no history of immunization (70 per cent). Significant presenting features were a tonsillar patch, sore throat, respiratory distress and fever. All patients were treated with anti-diphtheritic serum and intravenous antibiotics. Steroids were given to 81 per cent of patients and tracheostomy was carried out in 10 per cent of cases. The mortality was 16 per cent.Diphtheria of the respiratory tract remains a potentially fatal disease commonly presenting with membranous pharyngitis. Early diagnosis and treatment with anti-diphtheritic serum and antibiotics remain the cornerstone of treatment. Inadequate immunization cover is deemed responsible for the continued menace of diphtheria.

Gastrointestinal Schistosomiasis and Amebiasis are uncommon in the western world, while such infections are frequent in the African community. In addition to the problems associated with the clinical symptoms of these parasitic infections, it is important to stress the increase in cancer of the Gastro-Intestinal (GI) tract. In this study we evaluate the prevalence of cancer in patients affected by chronic inflammatory diseases caused by the above named parasites. In three years, from January 2000 to December 2003, we observed a total of 1199 subject. Of these, 950 presented with complaints of diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal pain, melena, hematemesis, rectal discharges and alteration of bowel habits. A total of 818 patients were evaluated in Uganda (Mulago and Arua hospitals) and 381 at Luisa Guidotti Hospital in Zimbabwe. An exhaustive clinical history was collected for each patient and then physical and laboratory examinations were performed. The clinical files of all patients previously admitted to the respective hospitals were obtained and the information taken from these files was then integrated with our clinical findings. Subjects who were found free of gastro-intestinal disease after examinations and did not have a clinical history of infective GI disease but presented with other pathologies, were regarded as control group. The control group was composed of 249 subjects. The subjects who were positive on examination underwent further investigations. The number of patients affected by schistosomiasis and amoebiasis were 221 and 224 respectivelly. The number of patients who suffered from aspecific enterocolitis was 454, intestinal tuberculosis was present in 21 patients and we found 30 patients with esophageal candidiasis. Patients who had the above mentioned GI diseases were then divided into 3 groups. First group was composed of patients who had a clinical history of infective GI diseases and were re-admitted for similar symptoms, and on examination were positive for the presence of the same infective GI diseases. Such patients were placed in the “Chronic group”. The second group was formed of patients who had previously undergone treatment for infective GI diseases but on re-admission were found free of infective GI disease, and this group was described as the “Cured group”. They had symptoms associated with other pathologies. A third group, which we described as the “Acute group” was composed of patients who did not have any previous case of GI infection and were admitted for the first time. Such patients were found positive on examination for infective GI diseases. In the 950 patients, we found a total of 45 tumors. The tumors were prevalent (42 tumours) in the chronic group. In 34 patients the tumor was in the colo-rectal region, in 3 patients in the stomach, in 4 patients in the oesophagus and 1 patient had cancer in the small bowel. Our results show a strong association between the chronic infection of the GI tract and the likelihood to develop tumours. However, it is not clear which biological mechanisms are implicated in such transformations. They may depend on the chronic inflammation of the GI mucous which permits the entrance of carcinogenic materials or on the effects of mutagenic products produced by the parasites or both.

Background: Male breast cancer (MBC) is an infrequent disease and a scarcely researched topic. Since the incidence of male breast cancer is increasing and so far, management advices have been concluded from results of trials in female patients, there has been a growing interest in this field of research. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the general, radiological and pathological features of MBC patients. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of MBC patients who had been referred to breast clinic, Shahid Motahari in Shiraz, Iran, between 2005 and 2018. Data regarding general characteristics of patients such as demographic information, age, and also past history of any cancer, family history of breast cancer, mammogram and ultrasound findings, stage, size and location of tumor, histopathology of tumor, metastasis, treatment modalities and follow-up time were attained by reviewing medical records. Results: Fifty-one patients with MBC were included with the mean age of 58.4 years. Invasive ductal carcinoma was the most prevalent pathologic type. By use of the Kaplan Meier survival estimate, survival probability of patients for each time interval after diagnosis was calculated. There was a decline over time until about 85 months after diagnosis when it reached a plateau state above 50%. Age, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and metastasis showed to lower the survival time by increasing the hazard ratio. Only 13 patients had mammography and 22 had an ultrasound, which are less than 50% of the total number of patients. Conclusions: This study showed that there is still unfulfilled need to evaluate MBC in order to find the best management guidelines such as screening in high risk populations, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Risk factor evaluation, survival time, and diagnostic radiologic modalities have not been well assessed in MBC so far.

Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of the developed special sports complex in the prevention of hypodynamia and obesity among firefighters-rescuers.Materials and methods. A survey of 490 men with no history of chronic infectious and non-infectious diseases aged 20-59 was conducted. 328 people were the main group, 162 people were the control group. The baseline data included anthropometric development indicators, bioimpedance test results, the extraction of biochemical blood test results; the body mass index (BMI) and the ratio of waist and hip circumference were determined. A questionnaire was conducted to identify hypodynamia (according to the IPAQ questionnaire) and the nutrition structure (according to the questionnaire on the food label literacy questionnaire, past). Both questionnaires were adapted to the Russian Federation. Statistica for Windows 8.0 was used for statistical processing. We used a comparison of the means of the Student method. To compare the values expressed in percent, the method of inverse trigonometric Fisher transformations was used.Results. We have developed and proposed for firefighters-rescuers, included in the main group, special sports complexes, which were used for 6 months. These complexes represent additional physical training by the developed method. There are two of them: one with an emphasis on the prevention and rehabilitation of people with osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine, and the other for cervical and thoracic localization, including with a syndrome of shoulder-scapular periarthritis.Classes were held 3 times a week, the duration of 1 session was 45-50 minutes. The choice of the complex was carried out at the request of firefighters-rescuers. The first complex was selected by 52 people. Based on the results of the study, against the background of the use of sports complexes, there was a 2-fold decrease in the incidence of obesity. Such a high efficiency is due to the fact that obesity of the I degree prevailed among the firefighters-rescuers. In addition, the frequency of occurrence of dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypodynamia decreased.Conclusion. The use of this sports complex can reduce the risk factors for development of disability among rescue firefighters by preventing hypodynamia and reducing the incidence of hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, as factors in the development of obesity.

Abstract: The cause of breech presentation is unknown, but there are some risk factors besides prematurity such as structural abnormality of the uterus, polyhydramnion, placenta previa, multiparity, uterine myoma, multiple pregnancy, fetal anomalies (anencephaly, hydrocephalus), and previous history of breech presentation. Before the age of 28 weeks, the incidence of breech presentation ranges from 25-30%, and most fetus will turn into a cephalic presentation after 34 weeks of gestation. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of breech delivery.This was a descriptive retrospective study using medical records of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado period 1 January 2014 – 31 December 2014. This study obtained 214 cases of breech delivery out of the total of 3,347 deliveries. Breech delivery was most common in multigravida, at the age of 37-41 weeks The most common type of presentation was incomplete breech presentation and the management of labour was mostly per vaginam (spontaneous Bracht). Birthweights were more common in the range of 2500 - 3999 grams and the newborn babies were not asphyxiated. Complications were rarely found, however, there were 15 cases of infant death. Keywords: breech delivery, breech presentation Abstrak: Penyebab terjadinya presentasi bokong tidak diketahui, tetapi terdapat beberapa faktor risiko selain prematuritas, yaitu abnormalitas struktural uterus, polihidramnion, plasenta previa, multiparitas, mioma uteri, kehamilan multiple, anomali janin (anensefali, hidrosefalus), dan riwayat presentasi bokong sebelumnya.Sebelum umur kehamilan 28 minggu, kejadian presentasi bokong berkisar antara 25-30%, dan sebagian besar akan berubah menjadi presentasi kepala setelah umur kehamilan 34 minggu.Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui karakteristik dari persalinan letak sungsang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif retrospektif melalui rekam medik di RSUP Prof. dr. R. D. Kandou Manado periode 1 Januari 2014 – 31 Desember 2014.

It has been reported that young survivors of myocardial infarction (MI) have elevated plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) levels. We have studied several fibrinolytic parameters (euglobulin lysis time, fibrin-plate lysis, tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) antigen, t-PA activity, PAI activity, plasminogen, az antiplasmin and FDP/fdp in 55 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), before and after an exercise test. The patients were classified in 4 groups:A) Patients with unstable angina (n=5); B) Patients with stable angina and previous history of MI (n=13); C) Patients with stable angina without previous history of MI (n=ll) and D) Patients with MI about 3 weeks before this study (n=26). All the groups were similars in age and life habits. Patients suffering from dislipemia and diabetes were excluded from the study. In basal conditions, PAI activity (U/ml) was high in the 4 patient groups (A:2.5±2.8; B:5.2 ± 4.9; C:2.8 ± 2.6; D: 4.6 ± 4.6) ascompared to a group of 10 healthy volunteers (0.46±0.5). In all the clinical groups there were a large number of patients (about 60%) whose PA inhibitor level was > 2 U/ml. t-PA antigen (ng/ml) was slightly elevated in all patient groups (A: 12.4+±4.6; B:12.4±5.6; C:12.5+4.0; D: 13.3+4.3) in comparison with control group (10.1+2.9). The release of t-PA antigen after the exercise test did not differ significantly from one group to another. However, this release was < 3 ng/ml in about 50% of patients in all clinical groups, as compared to the control group, in which the release of t-PA antigen was higher than 3 ng/ml in all the subjects. After the exercise PAI activity remained high in the patient groups. The increased level of t-PA inhibitor activity founded in the patients was partially inhibited by antiserum against PA inhibitor-1 but not by antiserum against PA inhibitor-2. The formation of a complex of about 115,000 daltons between the increased plasma PA-Inhibitor and purified single t-PA was observed by a zymographic fibrin technique. These findings demonstrate that CHD patients have a fibrinolytic hypofunction caused basically by an increase in t-PA inhibitor. This increase in PAI activity is more evident in patient with a previous history of MI.

Background and Objectives: When the human body is disabled to naturally ingest food through the mouth, enteral or parenteral nutritional support should be started. Percutaneous gastrostomy (PEG) is a flexible feeding tube that is inserted into the stomach through the abdominal wall in patients who will need long-term enteral nutrient intake. The aim of this study is to analyze clinical characteristic of children at the time of PEG placement as well as to determine indications, complications and outcomes associated with PEG at the Department of Pediatrics of the University Hospital of Split. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of the medical records of patients treated from 2010 to 2020 was performed. The following data were collected from medical records: age, gender, information about nasogastric feeding before PEG placement, indication for PEG insertion, duration of PEG, procedure-related complications and treatment outcomes. Malnutrition was determined according to the z-score range for BMI for age and sex. According to the indication for PEG placement, patients were divided into five categories: central nervous system (CNS) diseases, neuromuscular diseases, genetic disorders, metabolic diseases, and group of children with polytrauma. Results: A total of 40 patients with median age of 110 months were included in study. At the time of PEG placement, most patients had deviations in body weight and height compared to expected values for age and sex. The most common underlying diagnoses were diseases of the central nervous system. Minor complications were found in 13 (35%) of patients. One patient (2.7%) developed major complication (gastrocolic fistula) and consequently underwent reoperation. The median duration of PEG in patients with complications before the need for replacement was 27 months, and in patients without complications, 43 months. Conclusions: Negative deviations of z-score body weight, body height, and body mass index could indicate the need for possible earlier placement of PEG. PEG can be considered as a safe therapeutic option in children since PEG-related complications, mostly in minor forms, were found in a small number of patients.

Aim. To study the features of gestation in women with a combination of antiphospholipid and TORCH syndromes in relation to preconception care.Materials and Methods. We analyzed 137 medical records of women with a past medical history of pregnancy loss and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), focusing on the presence or absence of plasmapheresis in the preconception period, and further ranking the patients into 2 subgroups (with and without TORCH syndrome). As a control group, we included 28 pregnant women without both syndromes.Results. Gestation in women with combined APS and TORCH syndromes was accompanied by a 10-fold higher risk of threatened abortion in the first trimester and 3-fold higher risk of placental insufficiency as compared to those without both syndromes. Notably, the combination of the syndromes doubled the risk of placental insufficiency in comparison with APS alone. The lack of plasmapheresis in patients with APS and TORCH syndrome was associated with > 2-fold higher risk of threatened abortion. Further, in patients with APS and TORCH syndrome, lack of plasmapheresis increased the likelihood of developing fetal hypoxia by a factor of 2 and 3 in comparison with those diagnosed with APS alone or control patients.Conclusions. TORCH syndrome is a major risk factor of adverse outcome in pregnant women with APS. Inclusion of plasmapheresis into the preconception care in women with APS and TORCH syndrome significantly reduced the development of pregnancy complications.

  Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of clopidogrel on the prevention of recurrent stroke.Methods: This study used case–control study; data were taken from patient’s medical record of DR. Moewardi Regional General Hospital in the period of January 2013 – February 2017. Case group is a recurrent stroke patient receiving an acetosal or clopidogrel. The control group is a nonrecurrent stroke patient who receives an acetosal or clopidogrel.Results: During the period of study, the number of medical sample record data are 177 samples from the entire study subjects that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 50 medical records entered as subject of case study, 32 medical record samples was excluded because medical record data at the first stroke was gone (obselete), 35 medical record was excluded because medical record data at first stroke was not at of DR. Moewardi Regional General Hospital, 4 samples of medical records was excluded for using a combination of acetosal and clopidogrel, 55 samples of medical records as control subjects. Patients who use clopidogrel have a tendency to prevent recurrent stroke, but statistically not significantly different. This study shows that men tend to suffer more recurrent ischemic stroke (64.0%) than women. While in the control group of recurrent ischemic stroke of women (56.4%) more experienced the first stroke than men. Patients who had a stroke almost all had a history of hypertension (90.2%). Recurrent stroke patients in this study almost all had a history of hypertension. Bivariate analysis was showed that gender, history of diabetes mellitus (DM) and history of hypertension had an effect on recurrent stroke events. From the multivariate analysis, it was found that men had a risk of 2.328 for recurrent stroke (p=0.047), the history of DM had a risk of 3.975 times for recurrent stroke (p=0.016) and history of hypertension was 4.021 times for recurrent stroke (p=0.03)
