The Effect of Stress, Anxiety and Depression on In Vitro Fertilization Outcome in Kazakhstani Public Clinical Setting: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Although it is clear that infertility leads to heightened stress for patients, the impact of depressed mood and anxiety on treatment outcome is inconsistently reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of stress, depression and anxiety on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in Kazakhstani public assisted reproductive technology (ART) clinics. The prospective cohort study was performed between June 2019 and September 2020 using questionnaires to assess psychological stress, depressed mood and anxiety in women referred to IVF clinics in two public clinical centers in Kazakhstan, Nur-Sultan and Aktobe.

Metabolic and immunologic aspects of fetoplacental insufficiency.

Problem: The chronic placental insufficiency is the most common cause of intrauterine hypoxia, retardation of fetal growth, and other threatening conditions. Immune disturbances may occur in the system "mother-placenta-fetus."

Method Of Study: Biochemical blood indicators were studied on an automated biochemical analyzer.

The Correlation of Urethral Pressure Profilometry Data in Women with Different Types of Urinary Incontinence.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to analyse the correlation of subjective complaints and urethral pressure profilometry (UPP) data in women with different types of urinary incontinence (UI): stress UI (SUI), urgency UI (UUI), and mixed UI (MixUI).

Methods: A study group of 405 women with complaints about UI were surveyed (UDI-6; ICIQ-UI) to determine the subjectively dominant type of UI, and UPP was performed for all these women. The variables analysed by UPP were the maximum urethral closure pressure at rest (MUCPrest), maximum urethral closure pressure at cough stress (MUCPstress), functional urethral length at rest (FULrest), functional urethral length during cough stress (FULstress) test and pressure transmission ratio (PTR).

[FEATURES BONE METABOLISM IN ADOLESCENTS LIVING IN KAZAKHSTAN (ON THE EXAMPLE AKTOBE)].

The purpose of this work is to study by densitometry the bone mineral density (BMD) in Kazakhstan adolescents of Aktobe and biological markers of the bone metabolism. By obtained data revealed the presence of osteopenia among apparently healthy Kazakhstan adolescents in 72% of cases.
