Aim - to analyze the dynamics of morbidity and mortality from pneumonia in children under 1 year of age in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 10 years since the introduction of vaccination against pneumococcal infection in the National Immunization Schedule of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2010. A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out using the statistical collection of the National Scientific Center for Health Development named after S. Kairbekova from 2010 to 2020. The criterion for the study of epidemiology was the incidence of pneumonia in children under 1 year of age per 1000 children. The indicator compared with 2010 in the year, the incidence decreased by 34.0 cases, and amounted to 20.1 cases. In 2010, it was 54.1 cases. Analyzing the lethality of children from pneumonia by region, we also decided to show the top 5 regions with a high rate. This list in 2010 included Akmola (n=149.7), Turkestan (n=79.7), West Kazakhstan (n=76.9), Kostanay regions (n=66.1) and the city of Nur-Sultan (until 2019, the city of Astana) (n=69.5). The indicator for the republic in 2010 was 54.1 cases per 1,000 children. The incidence per 1000 children in 6 regions and 1 city is higher than the republican indicator. In 2020, in Kazakhstan, the incidence of pneumonia in children under 1-year-old per 1000 children was 20.1 cases. In such regions as Akmola, Turkestan, North Kazakhstan, Kostanay and Zhambyl regions, the indicators are the highest in the country. From 2010 to 2020, the incidence of pneumonia in children under 1 year of age tends to decrease in Kazakhstan, however, the city of Almaty shows a relatively high proportion of the total mortality for all diseases under 1 year of age. This work is analytical, and further work with a study of immunization of children against pneumococcal infection is required for a full study. A curve should be plotted on parental refusals to vaccinate over a given period of time.

Background: Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The increase in antimicrobial resistance in respiratory pathogens poses a major challenge to the effective management of these infections.
Objective: To investigate the distribution of major pathogens of RTIs and their antimicrobial resistance patterns in a tertiary care hospital and to develop a mathematical model to explore the relationship between pathogen distribution and antimicrobial resistance.

Background: Recurrent early pregnancy loss [rEPL] is a traumatic experience, marked by feelings such as grief and depression, and often anxiety. Despite this, the psychological consequences of rEPL are often overlooked, particularly when considering future reproductive health or approaching subsequent pregnancies. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic led to significant reconfiguration of maternity care and a negative impact on the perinatal experience, but the specific impact on women's experience of rEPL has yet to be explored.

Chest imaging in children presents unique challenges due to varying requirements across age groups. For chest radiographs, achieving optimal images often involves careful positioning and immobilisation techniques. Antero-posterior projections are easier to obtain in younger children, while lateral decubitus radiographs are sometimes used when expiratory images are difficult to obtain and for free air exclusion.

Objective: There is an increase in the application data of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) in perinatal women, particularly since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019. Therefore, we reviewed publications on the use of ECMO in pregnant and postpartum women and analyzed the maternal and fetal outcomes, updated the progress of ECMO in perinatal women.
Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search across PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and the International Clinical Trials Registry (ICTRP), yielding 30 eligible clinical studies that investigated the application of ECMO during pregnancy.
