Clinical and laboratory characteristics of COVID-19 in pregnant women.

This article discusses the distinct characteristics of COVID-19 in pregnant women and investigates potential early predictors of disease severity in this specific patient population. The study included 116 pregnant women with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 in different trimesters of pregnancy. In addition to clinical features, we evaluated general clinical research methods, biochemical parameters (procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, D-dimer), and the leukocyte index of endogenous intoxication and lymphocytic index to identify potential early predictors of disease severity.

Invasion with Toxoplasma gondii can promote pneumocystis pneumonia in individuals with HIV/AIDS.

Pulmonary pathology is common in HIV-infected individuals, but the possible role of the parasitic protist Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle et Manceaux, 1908) is not completely known. The present account reports result of a retrospective cohort study. Medical cards of 907 HIV-positive people, which included 120 deceased patients, were analysed.

Infection with Toxoplasma gondii can promote chronic liver diseases in HIV-infected individuals.

Liver pathologies and infection with Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle et Manceaux, 1908) are widespread among HIV-infected patients. However, a possible contribution of toxoplasmosis to the development of various forms of liver diseases in HIV-infected individuals has not yet been determined. This research is a retrospective cohort study.

FUNCTIONAL STATE OF NEUTROPHIC GRANULOCYTES' GENOME OF THE PERIPHERAL BLOOD IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS C WITH CONCOMITANT DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE II.

Objective: The aim: To determine changes of FSG of neutrophilic granulocytes of peripheral blood (NGPB) of patients with CHC with concomitant DM-2.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We've examined 180 patients with CHC: 160 with concomitant diabetes mellitus and 20 ones without it. The NGPB genome was studied using cytogenetic method.
