Abstract

Objective

To establish reference value for serum calcium concentration and urinary calcium excretion during mid pregnancy and to find out variation of calcium intake in pregnant women.

Materials and methods

This was a cross sectional study conducted in antenatal clinic of department of Obstetrics and Gyaenecology. A total of 543 pregnant women with pregnancy period of second trimester were enrolled for the study. Eligible healthy, vegetarian primigravid women provided serum and 24 h urinary samples for determination of serum calcium and urinary calcium excretion. Dietary intake calculated by 3-day recall method. Variation of calcium intake according to various demographic characteristics was noted.

Results

Statistical analysis done with SPSS software. The mean total serum calcium and 24 h urinary calcium and dietary intake of calcium were 8.1 ± 1.5 mg/dl (5.1–11.9), 129.56 ± 67.08 mg (40.5–400) and 324.37 ± 199.47 mg/day (85.71–910.71) respectively. The 95th percentiles for serum calcium were 10.56 mg/dl and urinary calcium excretion was 280.70 mg/24 h. Educational level, monthly income and height were positive correlated with calcium intake.

Conclusion

This preliminary study defines the first standard value for calcium status in pregnant second trimester females of northern India. Calcium intake in pregnant females is affected by various demographic characteristics. There is need to change dietary pattern by improving education and socio-economic level.

Ambulantisierung: Erste Erfahrungen mit dem Hybrid-DRG

02.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Hybrid-DRG-Verordnung soll dazu führen, dass mehr chirurgische Eingriffe ambulant durchgeführt werden, wie es in anderen Ländern schon länger üblich ist. Die gleiche Vergütung im ambulanten und stationären Sektor hatten Niedergelassene schon lange gefordert. Aber die Umsetzung bereitet ihnen doch Kopfzerbrechen.

30.04.2024 Gendermedizin Nachrichten

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Harninkontinenz: Netz-Op. erfordert über lange Zeit intensive Nachsorge

30.04.2024 Harninkontinenz Nachrichten

Frauen mit Belastungsinkontinenz oder Organprolaps sind nach einer Netz-Operation keineswegs beschwerdefrei. Vielmehr scheint die Krankheitslast weiterhin hoch zu sein, sogar höher als von harninkontinenten Frauen, die sich nicht haben operieren lassen.

Welche Übungen helfen gegen Diastase recti abdominis?

30.04.2024 Schwangerenvorsorge Nachrichten

Die Autorinnen und Autoren einer aktuellen Studie aus Griechenland sind sich einig, dass Bewegungstherapie, einschließlich Übungen zur Stärkung der Bauchmuskulatur und zur Stabilisierung des Rumpfes, eine Diastase recti abdominis postpartum wirksam reduzieren kann. Doch vieles ist noch nicht eindeutig belegt.
