Introduction: Because of a wide circulation of the hepatitis B (HB) among persons of young age, so-called vertical transmission of a virus from mother to the child is of particular importance. Relevance of this problem of HB increases in connection with a set of ways of infection, failures are more often observed at infection by natural ways: sexual and from mother to a fetus that demands development of effective measures of prevention of transfer from mother to a fetus.
Aim: To develop algorithm of maintaining pregnant women with the chronic hepatitis B (HBV) for prevention of perinatal transfer of a HBV infection in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (RS (Y)).
Materials And Methods: Materials of official statistics of Territorial administration of Rospotrebnadzor of RS (Y) are studied, incidence of chronicviral hepatitises B, C and D in RS (Y) from 2003-2013 was analyzed. Clinical, laboratory and tool, serological, molecular and biological methods of research were carried out.
Results: The high incidence of CHV, considerable frequency of delectability of markers of a HB infection at pregnant women, feasibility of a vertical way of a transmission of infection cause interest of doctors of different specialties in this problem. In this scientific publication we analyzed an example of maintaining the pregnant woman, woman in childbirth period with chronic viral hepatitis B, with long "experience" of an illness, with existence of replication of HBV-DNA.
Conclusions: To decrease the risk of perinatal transfer of a HBV infection it is recommended a quantitative PCR-research among pregnant women with HBsAg which will provide decrease in transmission frequency of HB by carrying out in need of antiviral therapy to the woman and the individualized schedule of vaccinal prevention with introduction of specific immunoglobulin to the newborn.

Prenatal stress has a well-established link to negative biobehavioral outcomes in young children, particularly for girls, but the specific timing during gestation of these associations remains unknown. In the current study, we examined differential effects of timing of prenatal stress on two infant biobehavioral outcomes [i.e.

Objectives: Pathways Community Hub (PCH) programs help connect pregnant women to healthcare and social services. A scoping review of peer-reviewed studies on PCHs that reported quantitative outcomes was conducted.
Methods: A search of academic databases from 1901 to 2024 initially yielded a total of 1,312 articles, which was ultimately reduced to 4 articles after duplicates were removed, and two levels of screening were conducted to determine whether studies met the inclusion criteria of evaluating a community hub for pregnant women, was written in English, was peer-reviewed, and reported quantitative outcomes.

HIV-prevention efforts focusing on women of child-bearing potential are needed to end the HIV epidemic in the African region. The use of antiretroviral drugs as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a critical HIV prevention tool. However, safety data on new antiretrovirals during pregnancy are often limited because pregnant people are excluded from drug development studies.

Purpose: Pregnant and postpartum mothers with physical disabilities face discrimination in healthcare settings and high rates of maternal and obstetric complications, as well as having higher rates of lifetime depression prior to pregnancy, potentially increasing their likelihood of experiencing postpartum depression (PPD). Some studies have found higher rates of PPD in mothers with physical disabilities than in mothers without physical disabilities, with more disabling symptoms associated with worse PPD systems; however, the literature is sparse and heterogenous. This systematic review and meta-analysis advanced this area of study by evaluating the strength of the association between PPD and physical disability.
