Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Among the infections that can affect women during pregnancy, about 10% are represented by urinary tract infections (UTI), which are the most common type of infection during pregnancy. Depending on the part of the urinary tract they affect, they are known as Cystitis and Asymptomatic Bacteriuria, when they occur in the lower tract, or pyelonephritis when the infection in the lower tract ascends. All clinical types of UTI can lead to serious maternal and fetal complications. Thus, differently to the non-pregnant patient, all UTIs during pregnancy, including those with asymptomatic infection, need treatment. When we identify more than one episode in the same pregnancy, prophylactic treatment is recommended.
