Objective: To compare the concentrations of cytokines belonging to Th17 axis (interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-23) and Th1 axis (IL-12 and interferon (IFN)-g) in obese and lean women, and to investigate their relationships with the proinflammatory adipokine leptin, proinflammatory cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and anthropometric and metabolic parameters of obesity. Design: Cross-sectional study.

The aim: The aim of the study was to determine if there is any influence of prenatal detection on postnatal correction of the fetal pyeloureteral segment stenosis. Materials and Methods: The study included 77 patients who were prenatally diagnosed with one of the urinary tract anomalies. Results: The Apgar (Ap) score mean value in seven patients where the anomaly was detected before the 30 th week of pregnancy was 9.14 ± 0.37, while the Ap score mean value for eight patients after the 30 th week of pregnancy was 7.87 ± 0.64. By testing these values, the authors have established that there was a significantly high difference for t = 4.572 and p = 0.001. Discussion: It is necessary for research to be carried with the objective to find the most simple and efficient methods of diagnosing and treating the obstruction of the pyeloureteral segment.
