The purpose: to compare the effectiveness of restoring reproductive function in women with uterine septum and reproductive disorders with various metroplasty techniques using monopolar and bipolar surgical energy. Material and methods. 153 patients with a uterine septum (group US) and reproductive disorders were under prospective observation, of which 75 patients (group M) underwent metroplasty using a monopolar hysteroresectoscope, 78 patients (group B) underwent a bipolar hysteroresectoscope. In groups M and B, 2 groups were allocated: group MD - 39 women who underwent hysteroscopic monopolar dissection of the uterine septum; group MR - 36 women who underwent hysteroscopic monopolar resection of the uterine septum; BD group - 37 women who underwent hysteroscopic bipolar dissection of the uterine septum; group BR - 41 women who underwent hysteroscopic bipolar resection of the uterine septum. The observation of operated women was carried out for 2 years after metroplasty. Results. When using various types of electrical surgical energy and various techniques for performing metroplasty in women with reproductive disorders against the background of the uterine septum, when using bipolar removal of the septum, the overall frequency of pregnancy termination by childbirth and term delivery was the highest and exceeded similar indicators: with monopolar incision 2.20 times (OR 13.30 [3.95–44.72], p 0.05) and 1.37 times (OR 3.44 [1.06-11.20], p < 0.04), with bipolar incision of the septum - by 1.26 times (OR 3.43 [0.97-12.09], p < 0.05) and 1.35 times (OR 3.90 [1, 23-12.36], p < 0.02). The overall frequency of childbirth in women with initial infertility was the highest among patients with bipolar removal of the septum - 95.24% and exceeded the same indicator in women with monopolar incision of the septum (35.29%) by 2.70 times (OR 36.67 [3, 90-344.85], p < 0.01) and with bipolar dissection of the intersection (66.67%) by 1.43 times (OR 10.00 [1.07-93.44], p 0.05). The total number of births in women with initial miscarriage after bipolar incision was 2.17 times higher than that after unipolar incision (78.95% vs. 36.36%; OR 4.50 [1.13-17.99], p < 0.04), with bipolar resection was 2.34 times greater than that with monopolar incision (85.00% versus 36.36%; OR 6.80 [1.54–30.08], p < 0.02). Conclusion. The technique of choice when performing hysteroresectoscopic metroplasty in women with uterine septum and reproductive disorders is bipolar removal of the septum, which leads to a probable increase in the termination of pregnancy by urgent delivery and live births both in the general group and in the group of patients with initial infertility.

The authors discuss the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) exposure based on reviewed literature reports. The systematic review covered both research carried out directly with people as well as studies with animals. A review was carried out in terms of various potential effects: carcinogenic effects, reproductive and metabolic disorders or the influence of SMF on the nervous and circulatory system. The possible biophysical and biological effects of the SMF were also described. Med Pr. 2019;70(1):107–20

This paper provides an overview on the current knowledge of chlamydiae prevalence in pigs. Within the order Chlamydiales are Gram negative obligate intracellular pathogens. The family Chlamydiaceae has recently been taxonomically revised and there are two genera proposed: Chlamydia and Chlamydophila. Organisms of both genera can be isolated from their specific animal hosts worldwide. In pigs C. suis, C. abortus, C. pecorum and C. psittaci have been isolated. Chlamydial infections in pigs are associated with different clinical diseases such as conjunctivitis, rhinitis, pneumonia, pericarditis, polyarthritis, abortion, stillbirths and reproductive disorders. Infections can be frequently asymptomatic, and the host serves as natural reservoir of the organisms. Diagnosis of swine chlamydiosis is rather rare, since most veterinary diagnostic laboratories do not perform routine examination for chlamydiae. Meanwhile, recent scientific reports present data, confirming that swine chlamydiosis can be an important health problem in swine farms and may cause significant economic losses.
