Probiotics are live microorganisms that induce health benefits in the host. Taking probiotics is generally safe and well tolerated by pregnant women and their children. Consumption of probiotics can result in both prophylactic and therapeutic effects.

The Possibility of Using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in Pregnant and Postpartum Women.

Pregnancy is a time of significant changes occurring in the composition of a woman's body in order to provide support for the growth and development of the foetus. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is used to assess the body composition and hydration status. This technique represents a non-invasive, reliable, and fast clinical approach, which is well tolerated by patients.

Cytokine Storms in the Course of COVID-19 and Haemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis in Pregnant and Postpartum Women.

The term 'cytokine storm' (CS) applies to a pathological autoimmune reaction when the interactions that lead to cytokine production are destabilised and may even lead to death. CS may be induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. In this study, we present our analysis of certain pathological processes that induce a CS in pregnant and postpartum women.

HAEMOPHAGOCYTIC LYMPHOHISTIOCYTOSIS IN PREGNANT AND POSTPARTUM WOMEN.

Objective: Introduction: Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an extremely rare, life-threatening disease, caused by uncontrolled activation of lymphocytes T and macrophages. This situation leads to cytokine storm, infiltration and internal organs failure. HLH can be categorised into either primary (familiar) or secondary which may be associated with infections, immunodeficiency syndromes, autoimmune diseases and malignancy.
