ABSTRACT
The current pneumonia outbreak of COVID-19 has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. With its indiscriminate spread across continents, authors are likely to see women with COVID-19 canvassed across all trimesters of pregnancy. To date, few reports have provided information about this disease in pregnant patients. Authors conducted a literature review to summarize the results concerning intrauterine transmission, diagnostic challenges and maternal-fetal outcomes of pregnant women with COVID-19 pneumonia.
ABSTRACT
Chorioangioma belongs to benign nontrophoblastic primary vascular neoplasms of placenta, originating from primitive chorionic mesenchyme and has a cited prevalence of around 0.6% to 1% of all pregnancies. Though majority of them are asymptomatic, clinical course depends mainly on the size of the neoplasm. Giant chorioangiomas (> 4-5 centimetres in diameter) with an approximate prevalence of around one in 9000 to one in 50,000 pregnancies, have been associated with many adverse maternal and fetal complications. We report a case of 21-year-old primigravida lady, who presented to us at 37weeks 4 days period of gestation with backache and with clinically evident increased liquor. On evaluating the cause of her polyhydramnios, ultrasonography revealed a well-defined echogenic vascular mass measuring ~ 8х8 centimetres in the placenta, suggestive of chorioangioma. Though the condition is infrequent, through this case report, we emphasize that even placental factors need to be ruled out in evaluating causes of polyhydramnios. Despite large size of chorioangioma and associated hydramnios, our patient exceptionally didn’t have any fetal complications. With proper antenatal surveillance, optimal feto-maternal outcome can be expected as seen in our case.
ABSTRACT
Ventricular arrhythmias in pregnancy is a common disease of cardiovascular disease during pregnancy which can cause adverse outcomes in severe state,such as maternal heart failure,sudden death,fetal hypoxia,premature delivery and stillbirth.The management of ventricular arrhythmias requires multidisciplinary participation,including obstetrics,cardiology,anesthesiology and neonatology.This article discusses how to manage the ventricular arrhythmias from the following aspects:pre-pregnancy counseling and assessment,treatments,managements during pregnancy and managements of delivery in order to reduce the occurrence of maternal and fetal complications,and emphasizes the significance of multidisciplinary collaborative management to the prognosis of disease.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between 24-hour urinary protein quantification and maternal and neonatal complications in severe preeclampsia. Methods Totally 2305 cases of pregnant women which were diagnosed as severe preeclampsia more than 28 weeks of single pregnancy in 37 hospitals in mainland China were selected from January 1 to December 31, 2011. According to the results of the highest 24 hours urine protein quantitative after admission, the subjects were divided into 3 groups. The group Ⅰ included 590 cases whose 24h urinary protein were 0-2g. There were 843 cases in group Ⅱ whose 24h urinary protein were 2-5g, 872 cases were in group Ⅲ whose 24h urinary protein were more than 5g. The complications of the maternal and neonatal outcome were analyzed among the three groups. Results The incidence of hypoalbuminemia was 14. 8％, the rate of chest /ascites /pulmonary edema / heart failure was 1. 6％, the incidence of renal dysfuction was 0. 6％ and the incidence of placental abruption and HELLP syndrome was 2. 7％ and 3. 0％. There was significant difference in the incidence of hypoalbuminemia among the three groups of which the incidence of groupⅠwas significantly lower than that of group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ (P ＜ 0. 017). The rate of fetal growth restriction, fetal distress and neonatal asphyxia was 3. 3％, 9. 5％, and 1. 1％. The incidence of neonatal body weight, fetal growth restriction and neonatal asphyxia among the three groups were significantly different (P ＜ 0. 05). The body weight of neonatal group was significantly higher than that of group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ (P ＜ 0. 017). The incidence of FGR in group Ⅱ was significantly higher than that in group Ⅲ (P ＜ 0. 017). The rate of neonatal asphyxia in group Ⅰ was significantly lower than that in group Ⅲ (P ＜ 0. 017). There are no significant difference in the incidence of heart failure /pulmonary edema, placental abruption, HELLP syndrome and cesarean section among the three groups. Conclusion 24-hour urinary protein may increase the risk of hypoalbuminemia in pregnant women with severe preeclampsia, but do not increase the risk of heart failure /pulmonary edema, placental abruption and HELLP syndrome. 24-hour urinary protein was associated with severe preeclampsia neonatal body weight, fetal growth restriction, and neonatal asphyxia.
ABSTRACT
Determinar la asociación entre el síndrome metabólico y las complicaciones maternas, fetales y neonatales, en un grupo de embarazadas entre agosto 2008 y septiembre 2009.En el Servicio Prenatal de la Maternidad Concepción Palacios. Estudio prospectivo, longitudinal, comparativo, con una muestra de 130 embarazadas, 38 cumplieron los criterios de la Federación Internacional de Diabetes para síndrome metabólico y 92 fueron el grupo control. El promedio de edad de las pacientes con síndrome 29,86 años, significativamente mayor que el del grupo control (24,11 años). Entre las gestantes con síndrome metabólico 34,2 por ciento presentó trastornos hipertensivos del embarazo, 23,7 por ciento tuvieron diabetes, 26,3 por ciento parto pretérmino y 2,6 por ciento infección puerperal. En el grupo control hubo 13,0 por ciento de trastornos hipertensivos del embarazo 6,6 por ciento de parto pretérmino y ningún caso de diabetes o infección puerperal (P< 0,05). La complicación fetal más frecuente fue la macrosomía, 10,5 por ciento de las gestantes con síndrome metabólico y 4,3 por ciento del grupo control (P>0,05). Hubo 23,7 por ciento de casos con bajo peso al nacer, 18,4 por ciento con hipoglicemia y 10,5 por ciento con sepsis en el grupo de recién nacidos de madres con sindrome metabólico. Este estudio mostró una mayor tasa de complicaciones maternas y neonatales en embarazadas con síndrome metabólico, en comparación con el grupo control
To determine the association between metabolic syndrome and maternal complications, fetal and neonatal in a group of pregnant patients between August 2008 and September 2009. Prenatal care service at the Concepcion Palacios Maternity. A prospective, longitudinal, comparative study with a sample of 130 pregnant women was done, from which 38 patients met the International Diabetes Federation metabolic syndrome criteria and 92 patients were part of the control group. The mean age of the patients with metabolic syndrome was 29.86 years, and the control group was 24.11 years. Among pregnant women with metabolic syndrome, 34.2 percent showed hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, 23.7 percent had diabetes, 26.3 percent were preterm delivery and 2.6 percent had preterm puerperal infection. In the control group there were 13.0 percent hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, 6.6 percent preterm deliveries and no cases of diabetes or puerperal infection (P <0.05) were reported. The most frequent complication was fetal macrosomia, with 10.5 percent of cases in pregnant women with metabolic syndrome and 4.3 percent in the control group (P> 0.05). There were 23.7 percent of cases with low birth weight, hypoglycemia 18.4 percent and 10.5 percent with sepsis in the group of infants from mothers with metabolic syndrome. This study showed a higher rate of maternal and neonatal complications in pregnant women with metabolic syndrome compared with the control group

Se hizo un estudio de casos y controles de 30 gestantes adolescentes, atendidas en el Hogar Materno Municipal Tamara Bunke de II Frente de Santiago de Cuba, en el trimestre octubre_diciembre del 2009, para determinar la morbilidad por embarazo precoz. Se escogió igual número de grávidas mayores de 20 años, que conformaron el grupo control. En la casuística se precisaron algunas características de las madres, a saber: edad, estado conyugal, escolaridad y ocupación, así como se identificaron las enfermedades clinicoobstétricas asociadas que pudieran complicar la gestación y el parto, con repercusiones negativas en el recién nacido. Se observó relación entre el embarazo a destiempo y el estado conyugal, la situación económica deficiente y el bajo vínculo laboral, lo cual redundó en el alto número de complicaciones en la madre (anemia, amenaza de aborto, parto pretérmino y distócico, entre otras) y el producto de la concepción (bajo peso al nacer y dificultad respiratoria
A case-control study of 30 pregnant adolescents, assisted at Tamara Bunke Municipal Maternal Home from II Frente in Santiago de Cuba was carried out in the trimester October-December, 2009, to determine the morbidity due to early pregnancy. The same number of pregnant adolescents older than 20 years was chosen to conform the group control. Some characteristics of the mothers of the case material were investigated, that is: age, marital status, school level and occupation, as well as the associated clinical and obstetric diseases that could complicate the pregnancy and the childbirth, with negative repercussions in the newborn were identified. A relationship was observed between the out-of-time pregnancy and the marital status, the poor economic situation and the low employment, which influenced on the high number of complications in the mother (anemia, threatened abortion, preterm and dystocic childbirth, among other) and the conceptus (low birth weight and respiratory distress
