Antifosfolipidový syndrom (APS) je autoimunitně podmíněné onemocnění s celou řadou potenciálně život ohrožujících manifestací. Vyskytuje se samostatně v primární podobě nebo jako sekundární doprovázející řadu chorobných stavů (autoimunitní, nádorová onemocnění atd.). Diagnostická kritéria zahrnují jak klinickou, tak laboratorní složku. Mezi klinické manifestace patří výskyt trombóz arteriálních či žilních a dále komplikace v těhotenství. Laboratorně musí být opakovaně prokázána přítomnost antifosfolipidových protilátek v minimálním odstupu 12 týdnů. Klinická manifestace APS může být velmi pestrá a často vyžaduje multidisciplinární přístup. Obávanou, ale vzácnou komplikací je tzv. katastrofický APS spojený s vysokou morbiditou a mortalitou. Včasná diagnóza spolu s terapií výrazně ovlivňuje prognózu pacientů s APS. Klíčová slova: antifosfolipidový syndrom – systémový lupus erythematodes, Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by various potentially serious and life‑threatening manifestations. APS occurs in a primary form with no associated conditions, or in a secondary form associated with various other illnesses (autoimmune, neoplastic and others). APS is diagnosed according to clinical and laboratory criteria. It is characterized by recurrent arterial or venous thrombosis and/or pregnancy‑related complications and laboratory findings of antiphospholipid antibodies in a minimum time interval of 12 weeks between individual laboratory tests. Clinical manifestations of APS can vary and a multidisciplinary approach is needed. Catastrophic APS is a very serious and life‑threatening condition associated with high mortality and morbidity, although it is rare. An early diagnosis with proper therapy has a serious impact on the prognosis of patients with APS. Keywords: antiphospholipid syndrome – systemic lupus erythematosus, and Ciferská H.
Cíl studie: zhodnocení efektivity cerkláže dle McDonalda ve Fakultní nemocnici Ostrava v období 1/2007 – 3/2014. Typ studie: retrospektivní studie Název a sídlo pracoviště: Porodnicko–gynekologická klinika, Fakultní nemocnice Ostrava Metodika: retrospektivní analýza provedených cerkláží ve Fakultní nemocnici Ostrava a rozbor výsledků takto ošetřených gravidit. Kritériem úspěšnosti byl stanoven porod po ukončeném 34. týdnu gravidity. Závěr: ve sledovaném období bylo indikováno devět cerkláží – 7 terapeutických a 2 záchranné. Výkony byly provedeny mezi 18. a 25. týdnem gravidity. Tři pacientky již měly v minulosti cerkláž provedenu. 57 % takto ošetřených těhotných porodilo po ukončeném 34. týdnu gravidity. Pouze v jednom případě (11,1 %) byla cerkláž neúspěšná a těhotenství skončilo potratem. Průměrná doba mezi provedením cerkláže a porodem činila 69 dnů., Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of cerclage according to McDonald at the University Hospital Ostrava in the period 1/2007 - 3/2014. Design: A retrospective study Obstetrics and Gynecology: Obstetrics - Gynecology, University Hospital Ostrava Methods: A retrospective analysis of cerclage performed at the University Hospital Ostrava and analysis of the results thus treated pregnancies. The criterion for success was determined after childbirth completed 34 weeks of preg - nancy. Conclusion: In the reporting period, nine indicated cerclage - 7 of therapeutic and 2 emergency. The procedures were performed between the 18th and 25th week of pregnancy. Three patients have had in the past cerclage performed. 57% of the treated pregnant women gave birth after 34 completed weeks of gestation. Only in one case (11.1 %) cerclage was unsuccessful and the pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. The average time between performing cerclage and delivery was 69 days., Petr Vašek, Igor Michalec, and Literatura
The aim of our study was to determine the significance of lymphocyte-platelet adhesion (LPA), interleukins, transforming included 139 pregnant women aged between 17 and 27 years (21.3±4.22 years). GH was diagnosed in 119 women after 20 weeks of pregnancy. 20 patients (control group) were with physiological course of pregnancy. The distribution of patients by groups was carried out according to the level of blood pressure (BP) in accordance with ICD-10 (Geneva, WHO, 2002). The survey was conducted at the moment of detection pregnancy from 7 to 10 weeks and in dynamics of I, II and III trimesters of gestation. In the dynamics of gestation, were studied the number of desquamated endothelial cells circulating in the systemic circulation (CECs), nitrates levels, the adhesion of platelets by estimation their ability to form co-aggregates with lymphocytes by determining the percentage of lymphocytes aggregates with thrombocytes (lymphocyte-platelet plugs), at risk of hypertensive disorders, especially after 20-22 weeks of gestation and later, lymphocytes ability to platelets adhesion is rose, the concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines and NO level are increased. The direct relationship indicates their importance in the pathogenesis of hypertensive disorders in pregnant women., Salomat Aleksandrovna Matyakubova, and Literatura
Trend odkládání reprodukce vede k vyššímu procentu plánovaných početí. To umožňuje prekoncepční intervenci. Nejlépe dokumentován je význam podávání folátů, které snižují výskyt defektů neurální trubice, vrozených srdečních vad, vrozených vad uropoetického traktu, plodů s nižší porodní váhou, patologií placenty a spontánních potratů. Suplementaci foláty minimálně měsíc před otěhotněním a v 1. trimestru doporučuje 17 německých odborných společností. Metylfolát [(6S)-5methyltetrahydrofolát] je biologicky aktivní folát, který není závislý na aktivitě MTHFR. K dosud jediné dostupné kalciové soli (označované jako 3. generace folátu) nově přibývá glukosaminová sůl metylfolátu (4. generace folátu), charakterizovaná vyšší stabilitou, rozpustností a biologickou dostupností., The tendency of reproduction delay leads to a higher rate of planned conception. This allows preconception intervention. The importance of folate administration is well documented. Folates reduce the incidence of neural tube defects, congenital heart defects, congenital anomalies of urinary tract, foetuses with lower birth weight, placental pathology and spontaneous abortion. Seventeen German professional societies recommend folate supplementation for at least one month before pregnancy and in the first trimester. Methylfolate [(6S) -5methyltetrahydrofolic acid] is the biologically active folate which is not dependent on the activity of MTHFR. Recently, glucosamine salt of methylfolate (folate of 4th generation) has been introduced and is characterized by greater stability, solubility and bioavalability in comparison to known calcium salts (folate of 3rd generation)., and Tomáš Fait
Backround: Worldwide, approximately 1 billion people, from which 200250 million are women, smoke. Based on the Estonian Medical Birth Register data, in 2010, 7,5% of pregnant women were smokers, and in 2012, 7% of pregnant women were smoking during their pregnancy. Thus, smoking rates among pregnant women fell only 0,5%. The objective of the research was to find out the views of pregnant women who were smoking during pregnancy of the effect of smoking on the health of them and their babies, and experiences in quitting smoking, changing indicators, e.g. smoking and socioeconomical status (initial exposure to smoking, employment, longterm partnerships etc.) in 20092013. Methods: This research is a phenomenological study, which was being carried out from October 2009 until January 2013. Data collection methods were semistructured interviews with 45 pregnant women smoking during their pregnancy and being registered for antenatal care in three health care institutions of Republic of Estonia. An inductive approach for qualitative analysis was used. Results: Most women smoking during pregnancy started smoking in their teens, their parents smoked, they were under 30 years old housewives or unemployed. On an average of 1120 cigarettes were consumed each day, the pregnancy of the research group did not influence frequency and tobacco intake. The participants in the research group reported that tobacco consumption helped them relax, gave them a chance to spend time in a good company, and it was not regarded as a bad habit but a social addiction, being caused by availability of tobacco products. Although most of them had an opinion about harmful effects of smoking, e.g. a cough, asthma and rapid fatigue, on the health of them and less on their expected babies, they continued smoking. Conclusions: The smoking and socioeconomical status of women smoking during pregnancy in 20092013 has not changed, health awareness of them is low and has not improved. Support groups with close relatives are needed to motivate cessation. In the first place, prevention needs a good example, purposeful cooperation, which starts in daily life context at homes, in educational institutions and in the community. Limiting the availability of tobacco products, postponing and preventing an initial exposure to smoking are thought to be of great importance. The results of the research will be introduced in health care institutions and they can be used in the health promotion process., Urve KaasikAaslav, Mare Vanatoa, Ene Kotka, and Literatura
Erytrocytární aloimunizace (izoimunizace, hemolytické onemocnění plodu a novorozence – HON) se v současnosti díky rutinní imunoprofylaxi anti-D imunoglobulinem vyskytuje sporadicky. Výskyt atypických aloimunizací non-RhD-antigeny zůstává neměnný, poněvadž není známa profylaxe a ani prevence nezajišťuje stoprocentní účinnost. Pokud se imunoprofylaxe anti-D imunoglobulinem neprovede nebo selže, hrozí vznik hemolytického onemocnění plodu a novorozence. Každý případ je potom unikátní (specifita a typ protilátky, blokující protilátky v séru matky, antigenní výbava erytrocytů plodu, gestační stáří při začátku onemocnění atd). Pokroky v genové diagnostice, imunohematologii a dopplerovské ultrasonografii významně snižují frekvenci nutných invazivních zákroků v diagnostice a léčbě senzibilizovaného těhotenství. Intraumbilikální přísně intravenózní transfuze pod ultrasonografickou kontrolou je první metodou volby léčby případů s těžkou anémií plodu i při rozvinutém hydropsu. Konzultace a léčba se soustřeďují do center s perfektní porodnickou a neonatologickou péčí a nepřetržitou operační pohotovostí. Klíčová slova: anti-D-imunoglobulin – erytrocytární aloimunizace – hemolytické onemocnění plodu a novorozence – imunoprofylaxe anti-D-imunoglobulinem – intraumbilikální intravenózní transfuze, The erythrocyte alloimmunization (isoimmunization, hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn – HON) occurs sporadically at present, thanks to routine immunoprophylaxis with anti-D immunoglobulin. The occurrence of atypical alloimmunizations related to non-RhD-antigens remains unchanged, as there is no prophylaxis known and even the prevention does not provide one hundred percent efficiency. When anti-D immunoglobulin immunoprophylaxis is not undertaken or fails, the threat of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn arises. Every case is then unique (specificity and type of antibody, blocking antibodies in maternal serum, antigenic make-up of fetal erythrocytes, gestational age at the disease onset etc). The advancements in genetic diagnostics, immunohematology and Doppler ultrasonography significantly reduce the frequency of necessary invasive interventions in the diagnostics and treatment of sensibilized pregnancy. Intraumbilical strictly intravenous transfusion under ultrasound guidance is the first-line method of therapy for cases of severe fetal anemia as well as advanced hydrops. Consultations and treatment are provided in the centres for comprehensive obstetrical and neonatal care with continuous intervention preparedness.
