SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-related CoronaVirus 2) activates the immune system, causing thrombin dysregulation and tissue damage and reduces endothelium anticoagulant function, leading to excessive thrombin formation. Hypercoagulability, which causes multiple organ failure in critically ill COVID-19 (COronaVIrus Disease 2019) patients, can be detected by viscoelastic tests like thromboelastography and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM). We aimed to assess the coagulation system status and fibrinolytic activity using ROTEM thromboelastometry in patients with COVID-19 and convalescents.

At 33 weeks of the first spontaneous pregnancy, proteinuria up to 0.8 g/l was first registered, at 38 weeks she was hospitalized with proteinuria, reaching a maximum of 13 g/l, she was delivered promptly, after which progressive thrombocytopenia was noted over the next few days (up to 44×10/l) and anemia and severe arterial hypertension, which could not be corrected by several groups of antihypertensive drugs.

The immunophenotype and gene expression profile of isolated blood monocyte subpopulations of pregnant women with PE have not been studied before. In this work, we assessed changes in CD14++ and CD16++ monocyte subpopulations in PE and physiological pregnancy (n = 33).

The condition is presumably caused by systemic failure with a strong involvement of innate immunity. In particular, it has been associated with flexible phenotypes of macrophages, which depend on the molecules circulating in the blood and tissue fluid, such as cytokines and hormones.

It is believed that etiology of preeclampsia lies in dysfunction of the placenta and disorder of the maternal-fetal interactions. In preeclampsia decidual membrane, the maternal part of the placenta which normally supports immunological tolerance of the maternal organism to the semi-allogeneic fetus, becomes a site of inflammation.

Objectives: Evaluation of clinical course of COVID-19 during pregnancy and maternal and perinatal outcomes of this pregnancy.
Methods: 66 women with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) - confirmed SARS-CoV-2 and their 42 neonates were included in the prospective observational study. Demographic, epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and instrumental data of pregnancy, delivery, postpartum period, including pharmacotherapy and neonatal outcomes were analyzed.
The clinical burden of obstetric venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk is inadequately established. This study assessed the prevalence and management of VTE risk during pregnancy and postpartum outside the Western world. This international, noninterventional study enrolled adult women with objectively confirmed pregnancy attending prenatal care/obstetric centers across 18 countries in Africa, Eurasia, Middle-East, and South Asia.

The dosage and duration of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) prophylaxis after delivery is estimated by anamnestic risk-scales; however, the predictive potency for an individual patient's risk can be low.

Material And Methods: 220 women with average and severe preeclampsia were analyzed. Due to the infusion therapy composition women were divided into 2 groups: 1- the basic group (n=110) in which the infusion solution was new hydroxyethylstarch solution (Tetraspan), which consist of starch at isooncotic solution, which electrolyte structure is similar to blood plasma and contains Na, K, Cl, Mg, Ca ions, also malats and lactats.
Objectives: To learn features of the electrolyte balanced starch solution of Tetraspan in comparison with standard starch solutions in therapy of preeclampsia. The advantages of Tetraspan (B Braun®) application were the composition, which is due to electrolyte composition near to blood plasma absence of negative influence on kidneys and on curtailing system of blood.
Material And Methods: 220 puerperal women with preeclampsia after cesarean section were investigated.

They identify its basic links (the autonomic nervous and cardiovascular systems) the function of which is affected by all the physiological and pathophysiological processes involved in its development. There is a high likelihood of baseline impaired adaption processes in these links, which may lead to an inability to accommodate (dysadaptation) by the moment of delivery.

The paper deals with abdominal labor pain relief in pregnant women at high risk for impaired development of the general adaptation syndrome: significant sympathicotonia, placental ischemia-reperfusion syndrome, and systemic inflammatory response syndrome. All these syndromes are attended by either impaired oxygen transport or a high risk for the occurrence of such at surgery. The detection and correction of these impairments in development of the general adaptation syndrome in pregnancy, which are provided by the author's modified rating scale for risks of surgery and anesthesia, contribute to the development of the body's compensated metabolic reaction to surgical injury, reducing the number of maternal, fetal, and neonatal complications.

In pregnant women who had all hemodynamic types at baseline, the eukinetic type achieved during the preparation is retained. The patients with gestosis who did not receive calcium antagonists were found to have a circulatory hyperdynamic response with increased myocardial oxygen uptake (during surgery in particular).
