The Relationship Between Iron Status, Cognitive Performance, Subjective Mood and Fatigue in Women of Reproductive Age.

The patients with obesity are known to suffer 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) deficiency, but the relationship between these two conditions remains unclear. The blood 25(ON)D levels in practically healthy women were compared with the amount and distribution patterns of the fatty tissue and with the content of plasma adipocytokines. The absence or deficit of vitamin D was documented in 61.3% of the women included in the present study. They exhibited negative correlation between 25(ON) D levels and body weight. The patients with obesity were characterized by correlation between the 25(ON)D levels and waist circumference, body weight, BMI, and the amount of fatty tissue. The women of reproductive age with the reduced blood 25(ON)D level (OR 1.86 [0.88—3.95]; CI 95%) or 25(ON)D deficiency (OR 2.23 [1.03—4.80]; CI 95%) were at a higher risk of development of obesity compared with the women in whom the 25(ON)D levels were in excess of 75 nmol/l. The study confirmed correlations between adypocytokine levels and the amount of fatty tissue even though it failed to demonstrate a significant relationship between the levels of adipocytokines and vitamin D.

Ectopic Endometrium

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of women of reproductive age that is defined by the presence of ectopic endometrium. The pathophysiology of the disease is poorly understood, however platelet activation play a crucial role in initiation of inflammation and fibrinogenesis, which in term further activate the coagulation cascade. The relationship between inflammation and coagulation motivated researchers to study whether patients are in a hypercoagulable state and if endometriosis represent an independent risk factor for venous thromboembolism or cardiovascular risk. This review article focuses on the role of coagulation, the risk of thrombosis and a possible beneficial effect of antithrombotic-treatment.

The Relationship

The article presents an analysis of literature data and the results of our own retrospective studies of the characteristics of the menstrual cycle in female combatants who have undergone concussion. Clinical and anamnestic factors have been identified that negatively affect the menstrual function of women of reproductive age, who received contusions during hostilities. The relationship between the state of mental health of women and menstrual irregularities has been established. Aim: to identify and evaluate changes in the menstrual function of women - veterans of reproductive age. Also, to establish the relationship between menstrual irregularities in women - veterans of reproductive age who have undergone contusion, and the state of their somatic and mental health.Materials and method: The research was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductology of the National University of Health of Ukraine named after P.L. Shupika. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive clinical and laboratory examination was performed in 567 women of reproductive age (main group and comparison group) who participated in hostilities and suffered contusions, the average age of the subjects was 27.08 ± 4.23 years.The period of stay in the combat zone is 29.34 ± 9.21 months, the time from the moment of receiving a mild traumatic brain injury (contusion) is 18.8 ± 9.2 months. Group I - 399 fertile women who suffered contusions during the fighting with PKS. Group II - 168 women of childbearing age who suffered contusions during hostilities without PKS (mean age 32.21 ± 7.32 years).Results: The results of the studies revealed statistically significant deviations in the characteristics of the menstrual cycle of women who participated in hostilities who were injured with PKS, compared with women without PKS. It has been proven that women-viskovosluzhvits more often develop menstrual irregularities, namely a decrease or increase in the number, lengthening or shortening of the menstrual cycle by 7 days. Taking into account the revealed menstrual irregularities in the women under study, it can be argued that the detected changes are due to the influence of both craniocerebral trauma and stress factors associated with military service. This justifies the need to develop a program for monitoring and supporting the reproductive health of women-viyskovoservices, as well as medical and psychological rehabilitation of veterans, aimed at their full adaptation to a peaceful life.

The Relationship

Autoimmunity of the thyroid gland (TAI) or its dysfunction is quite common among women of reproductive age, and there are suggestions in the literature that they are associated with an unfavorable level of fertility and a negative outcome of pregnancy, as in the case of spontaneous conception or after assisted reproductive technologies (ART). This assumption makes it necessary to screen autoantibodies to thyrotropin (TSH) and thyroid peroxidase among infertile women who have made a number of attempts to become pregnant. Some authors have conducted a number of studies where they have examined the relationship between autoimmunity of the thyroid gland, thyroid function, and fertility. However, there is currently no consensus on the upper limit of the norm for TSH to determine thyroid dysfunction and the limits for intervention. Despite the recent update of the American thyroid Association (ATA) on guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases during pregnancy and the postpartum period, many issues remain unresolved in ART. The author came to the following conclusions: open thyroid dysfunction often leads to menstrual disorders, fertility problems, and pregnancy complications, and therefore should be treated accordingly. Currently, there is little evidence to recommend treatment with levothyroxine at TSH levels between 2.5 and 4.0 MMU / l, given the possible side effects of overtreatment, especially in patients with mild thyroid dysfunction. We suggest careful longitudinal monitoring, especially in the presence of thyroid antibodies in women undergoing ART. The 4 MMU / l limit for TSH appears as the intervention level for SCH treatment in women with and without transabdominal utrasound in ART.
