Immunofluorescence diagnosis of the herpesvirus stillborn infection.

Congenital herpes infection belongs to the category of actual problems of Perinatal Medicine. Pathological diagnosis of this disease is not effective in the routine method of autopsy studies without virological research. Objective.

[The clinical value and methodological bases of a gross study of neonatal placentas].

A two-step study of placentas is proposed if departments of morbid anatomy have none or limited feasibility. A gross study of the organ's constituents is conducted by neonatologists at maternal hospitals in the first step and in a specialized department of morbid anatomy in the second one. Placental manipulations are differentiated between the neonatologists and pathologists.

[Introduction into fetal nosology].

The urgent social and medical problems of intrauterine death of alive fetuses require that pathomorphological studies of the fetoplacental complex be improved to diagnose major fetal abnormalities. It is proposed to refuse the universal diagnosis of symptomatic intrauterine hypoxia and to shift to its nosological diagnosis. Particular emphasis should be placed on the detection of placental-umbilical and cardiovascular pathology and hematogenic, hemorrhagic, and other fetal diseases.

[Fetal compensatory and abnormal reactions in fetoplacental insufficiency].

The review of the data available in the literature traces the pathogenetic association of chronic fetoplacental insufficiency (CFPI) with the mechanisms responsible for cardioplacental circulation, hypoxic encephalopathy, and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Infectious abnormalities of the fetal membranes, placenta, and umbilical cord are of combined pathogenic importance in cases of CFPI.

[Pathogenetic features of respiratory distress syndrome in newborns with extremely low body weight].

Congenital atelectasis and ascending infection around the fetuses were of importance in the pathogenesis of respiratory disturbances in 38 newborns with extremely low body weight.
