[The use of prostaglandins in atonic uterine hemorrhages following vaginal delivery].

The authors examine the results of usage of Prostin 15M (Upjohn) in series of 19 women with hypotonic uterine bleeding after vaginal delivery. For the same period (1997) 1179 deliveries were performed in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in HMS-Plovdiv. Positive effect was noted in 16 of the cases (84.22%). Unsatisfactory effect was marked in 3 of the cases--15.78%. Three of the women demonstrated adverse reactions after application of Prostin 15M.

[Overuse of cooking salt by pregnant women in Bulgaria].

The authors investigate the ovemse of salt by pregnant women in two aspects--as a detrimental nutritive habit and as a factor in the pathogenesis of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. The study involves 140 pregnant women who were given a specially designed questionnaire in order to examine their nutritional habits. One third (33%) of them intake additional amount of salt during nutrition. Almost half of them (43%) add salt before tasting the meal. This is exclusively seen in the group of women above 30. Additional 2-3 grams of salt are intaken while eating salty cheese and pickles during the winter. The approximate amounts of salt for each trimester of pregnancy are calculated. The authors defined which foods are the greatest contributors of salt and make the conclusions of the detrimental impact of overuse of salt during pregnancy on the mother and the child.

[Changes in the concentration of individual proteins in women using current peroral contraceptives].

UNLABELLED: BUT: The aim of the present study was to establish the influence of the moderate combined oral contraceptives on the concentration of the individual proteins in serum. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 70 women at the age from 16 to 30, separated into two groups: control group, including 30 women who have not used OC basic group, including 40 women using Cilest and Marvelon in the period of one to three years. There have been examined the following individual proteins in serum: prealbumin; orosomucoid; haptoglobin; TRA; C3; C4; CRP; IgA; IgG and IgM. Their level in serum was defined with immunoturbidimetric method with monoclonal antibodies of the firm Kone (Fin). RESULTS: The data showed reduced concentrations of Orosomucoid and increased concentrations of TRA in the basic group. CONCLUSIONS: The continuous use of Cilest and Marvelon do not influence the concentrations of the examined individual proteins in the serum. They lead to reduced concentrations of orosomucoid and increased concentrations of TRA.

[The treatment of vaginal mycosis with Orungal].

UNLABELLED: The authors report their results of the treatment of the vaginal mycosis with Orungal (Janssen-Cilag). Twenty two sexually active women are included in the study, all with clinical signs of fungal vaginitis. Microscopic examination of vaginal secretions and fungal cultures are performed for all of the patients. Twenty cultures show C.albicans as causing agent and 2-non-C.albicans. One-day treatment with Orungal 2 x 200 mg is prescribed. Control examination and mycologic cultures are performed on day 7-10 and 30 after treatment. In 20 patients (91%) there is not clinical signs and the cultures remains negatives. In 2 (9%) the signs of fungal vaginitis persists which evoke the giving of the same dose once again. Adverse reaction (nausea) has been notify by one woman. CONCLUSION: The treatment with Orungal of the vaginal mycosis is highly effective, with minimal adverse reactions and very good acceptance by women.

[Hysterectomy--a time for reappraisal].

Hysterectomy is the most common non-pregnancy-related surgical procedure performed worlwide. The objective of our study was to investigate the hysterectomy by age, indication and surgical method employed during 1994-1998 in Department of Obstetrics and gynecology of Higher Medical Institute-Plovdiv, Bulgaria. During the period 1352 hysterectomies are performed. The most common indication was uterine myoma--50.3%. The most frequently the removal of the uterus is made at the age of 45-49. The low percentage of vaginal hysterectomies has been noticed--4.6%, as well as the comparatively frequent removal of the ovaries along with hysterectomy for benign diseases. A thorough analysis has been made in order to reduce the unnecessary hysterectomies, to choose the right approach and extend of the operation.

[The immune changes at the beginning of pregnancy].

The authors investigated cellular and humoral immunity as well as the amount of circulating immune complexes (CIC) in 84 women, 52 of whom were healthy nonpregnant and 32 with normal pregnancy during the first trimester. Considerable changes were established in the immune status-depression of cellular immunity in pregnant women, an increase of the amount of CIC in the same women, humoral immunity did not show synonymous changes a reduction of IgG content in pregnant women and an increase of IgA in the same group. The level of IgM was not altered. The possible causes for the discovered changes are discussed.
