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
Fever is often the result of an infection. The most common sites for infection
during pregnancy are fetal membranes, urinary and respiratory tracts, and the
postpartum uterine cavity. The most frequent etiologies of intrapartum fever are
chorioamnionitis and neuraxial anesthesia. Maternal and fetal exposure to hyperthermia
and inflammation is associated with adverse consequences for the mother and the
neonate. In pregnant women with fever, anesthesiologists are not only involved in
providing analgesia, but also in the correct anesthetic management for the surgical
treatment of the infectious region. Thus, as pyrexia may change both obstetric and
anesthetic management, preventing maternal fever is imperative. Emerging and
challenging infectious diseases, as COVID-19, remind us of the susceptible nature of
pregnant and early postpartum women to severe respiratory infections, reinforcing the
importance of vaccines and therapeutic measures during pregnancy.
