Patient: Female, 39Final Diagnosis: Vegetovascular dystonia • dysfunctional uterine bleedingSymptoms: Bleeding per vaginum • loss of consciousness • weaknessMedication: —Clinical Procedure: Oral medicationSpecialty: General and Internal MedicineObjective:Unusual clinical courseBackground:Obesity is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally and challenging to treat because of the multifactorial etiology and presentation. Individualized homeopathy takes into account factors that led to a patient’s health condition and hence may have a role in the treatment of obesity and related co-morbidities; co-morbidities that may arising from the same etiology may respond as a whole to homeopathy treatment.Case Report:A 39-year-old Russian female who developed multiple problems after severe emotional stress was treated with individualized classical homeopathic therapy. Obesity, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and dysautonomia were pathologies that showed improvement.Conclusions:The response in this patient’s case, supports the need for further investigation on the relevance of individualized homeopathy in these related conditions.
Classical homeopathy was shown to be beneficial in climacteric syndrome in many studies, but the clinical effect is unclear. To inspect if individualized classical homeopathy has a role in treating complaints after surgical menopause through real world case, we present a case of a 54-year-old Russian woman treated with individualized classical homeopathy for multimorbid conditions after surgical menopause examined for changes from homeopathic treatment. We assessed changes in climacteric symptoms, changes in comorbidities, and the general well-being of the patient. The woman had severe climacteric syndrome, pelvic inflammatory disease, dyslipidemia, obesity, hepatic steatosis, pancreatic lipomatosis, gall bladder disease, and mild subclinical hypothyroidism to begin with. She was treated with individualized classical homeopathy and followed up for 31 months. She was relieved of the vasomotor symptoms and psychological disturbances of climacteric syndrome, her weight reduced, the ultrasound scan showed absence of lipomatosis/gall bladder disease/hepatic steatosis. Blood tests showed reduction of thyroid stimulating hormone and a balance in the lipid status. Individualized classical homeopathy may have a role in the climacteric syndrome and comorbidities after surgical menopause. The efficacy of homeopathic therapy in climacteric problems must be scientifically investigated further.
Aim. Evaluation of health state in newborns whose mothers were at risk of pre-eclampsia, depending on vitamin D level. Methods. Study materials included peripheral blood from pregnant women and umbilical cord blood of newborns. Vitamin D level was measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay kits of BIOMEDICAGRUPPE company (Germany). Intrauterine fetal state was studied with the use of ultrasonography. Results. Analysis of the study proved that vitamin D level in the umbilical cord blood correlates with its concentration in the mother’s blood. In women at pre-eclampsia risk decreased calcium level and vitamin D deficiency in the blood were detected. Administration of 2,000 IU of vitamin D and 1.5 g of calcium from the beginning of 2nd trimester of pregnancy resulted in reduction of frequency and severity of pre-eclampsia and its complications, including intrauterine growth retardation. Use of vitamin D in combination with calcium supplementation was shown to significantly improve unfavorable perinatal outcomes in women at high risk of pre-eclampsia, reducing by 3 times hypoxia and cerebral fetal lesions frequency that proves the vitamin D importance for functioning of mother-placenta-fetus system. Conclusion. Children of patients at risk of pre-eclampsia not taking vitamin D and calcium supplementation have lower birth weight and Apgar score, they have more frequent perinatal complications.
The aim of the investigation was to study the effect of iodine level in young females on the development of menstrual disorders. Materials and Methods. We determined iodine content in urine by a potentiometric method using ion-selective electrodes to analyze iodide ions. Due to the high amplitude vibrations of individual iodine concentrations in urine (ioduria) to estimate the severity of iodine deficiency, we used a mean iodine concentration in urine -a median.Results. The content of urinary iodine excretion in young females with menstrual function disorders ranged widely from 18 to 109 µg/l. The median of iodine excretion appeared to be lower than the existing standards, and was 74.8 µg/l.We revealed the positive direct relations between ioduria and impaired menstrual function (r=0.46). To assess the effectiveness of the program of iodine deficiency prevention of menstrual function in young girls 5-6 months after iodine administration, we re-evaluated their iodine level. The number of normal findings of urinary iodine excretions was found to have increased up to 70.6% cases, neither moderate nor severe iodine deficiencies being revealed. Moreover, most young females with menstrual disorders were found to have improved functioning of the reproductive system.
