“…According to other studies, vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy reduces the risk for preterm birth and it also lowers the incidence of low birth weight newborns [28,29]. Concomitant vitamin D and calcium supplementation seems to significantly reduce the risk for preeclampsia, but it increases the risk for preterm birth [30,31]. There is no clear data regarding time of supplementation in any study [32,33].…”

The birth, growth, development, reproduction and senescence under physiological conditions can be achieved without diminishing the role of other important aspects that influence them, only with the support of an optimal diet that is a fundamental requirement nowadays, considering that the health and the nutritional status are in a permanent interdependence. The effects of inadequate nutrition reflect on the expression of genes, influencing the development of certain diseases in childhood and adulthood. Knowing the phases of the gestation period in which the need of certain nutrients is increased, and their absence has the most serious impact on fetal growth and development, allows for the adoption in due time of concrete preventive rules. Disorders associated with lipid malabsorption, such as celiac disease, Crohn�s disease, pancreatic insufficiency, cystic fibrosis and cholestatic disease, are associated with low serum levels of 5-hydroxyvitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency in the newborn can express as deficient skeletal homeostasis, congenital rickets and fractures in the early days of life. A low level of vitamin D during pregnancy seems to increase the risk of preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction and gestational diabetes, and in the longer term it seems to affect the bone, immune system and general status. The prevalence of hypovitaminosis D is increasing globally, and the effects on pregnancy and neonatal outcome of the vitamin D deficiency and supplementation are a topical issue, which is currently under investigation.

“…Patients whose stones who presented lithiasis at ureteral level presented also ureterohydronephrosis and increased creatinine levels, arterial hypertension [21][22][23][24][25], complications that necessitated more complex therapeutically and perioperative management [26][27][28][29], such as double J internal ureteral drainage for ureterohydronephrosis remission and creatinine levels normalization.…”

Reno-ureteral lithiasis is a common pathology especially in socio-economically developed countries and may pose serious problems with renal function impairment. Urology is currently one of the surgical branches that benefit from a wide range of therapeutic options in reno-ureteral lithiasis, that revolutionized the criteria and indications of the lithiasis pathology, increasing the success rate and decreasing the number of days of hospitalization but which cannot provide satisfactory results if not complemented by imaging examinations. Non-contrast computer tomography is a key element in determining the best method of treatment by measuring the density of stones and increasing the stone-free rate of patients. Measurement of the stones density is done by Hounsfield units (HU), and patients who have had a [500 HU density have pleaded in over 90% for the uric acid composition. We included in our study a batch of 364 patients with reno-ureteral lithiasis and the treatment method was chosen based on the density of the stones: 64.83% of the patients with a density between 200-700 HU performed semi-rigid ureteroscopy and ballistic lithotripsy, 3.57% of patients with density between 700-1000 HU benefited from flexible ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy, 17.58% of patients with density between 400-700HU performed ESWL and 13.73% with density]1000 HU have benefited from PCNL.

“…A pathological entity commonly encountered in the daily activity of the emergency units, the intestinal obstruction secondary to peritoneal adhesions, is usually characterized by hydro-electrolytic imbalances [3][4][5] , which explains the type of the surgical approach through laparotomy, in order to allow for a free manipulation of the intestinal loops and a rapid identification of the obstruction area 6 , thus ensuring early treatment and, implicitly, rapid recovery of the patients by reducing the anesthetic and surgical time. In the postoperative period, however, patients undergoing laparotomy have a high risk of chronic abdominal pain, ileus, hydro-electrolyte disturbances, cardiovascular complications and exacerbation of the peritoneal adhesion formation process and, thus, a high risk of recurrence of the obstruction [7][8][9] .…”
