[Extragenital diseases, comorbidities, and polymorbidity in maternal death]
1Novosibirsk State Medical University, Ministry of Health of Russia, Novosibirsk, Russia.
Objective:
To study the structure and significance of comorbidities and polymorbidity in maternal death.
Material And Methods:
Sixty-five autopsy protocols of maternal deaths in the Novosibirsk Region in the period of 1994 to 2018 were analyzed.
Results:
Extragenital diseases are the leading diseases in the nosological structure in maternal mortality. Preeclampsia/exlampsia and obstetric hemorrhages lost their leading positions. The increasing role of extragenital pathology in the structure of maternal mortality is due to many factors, such as a larger number of comorbidities and polymorbidity, in pregnant women. Infectious diseases, benign and malignant tumors, and diseases of the heart and blood vessels are the main diseases in the structure of extragenital diseases.

Overview of Cell Death
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
