    Get PDF
    Physical activity is associated with beneficial health effects for both mother and her future child, as well as the course of pregnancy. The aim of this review was the comparison of international guidelines with Polish recommendations. Data were collected from PubMed platform and international guidelines and narrowed to open access studies published between 1990–2023 in English, German and Polish. The existing literature shows an increase of interest in the impact of body activity during pregnancy and pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). The recommendations move away from the more conservative approach, that previously suggested limitation of all exercise-related activities. Recently, The Polish Society of Gynecologists and Obstetricians and Polish Society of Sports Medicine announced a planned release of joint recommendations on physical activity during pregnancy and after childbirth, as well as the translation of the "Get Active Questionnaire for Pregnancy", a screening tool for pregnant women, doctors and midwives, developed in accordance with the recommendations of international gynecological societies

    We present a case report of pregnant woman with Takayasu’s arteritis diagnosed in childhood. The treatment was modified owing to the fact that the patient wished to get pregnant and she conceived spontaneously within the first year after that. Vasculitis activity was low during pregnancy. Hypertension was treated with methyldopa and metoprolol. After the confirmation of pregnancy daily administration of prednizone and enoxaparin (at a dose of 5 mg and 40 mg, respectively) has been started. In the third trimester of pregnancy the values of blood pressure increased. The patient required higher doses of antihypertensive drugs. Proteinuria appeared in the daily urine collection. The values of liver enzymes have increased. Elective cesarean section was performed at 37 weeks of gestation due to narrow oscillations revealed by CTG and weaker fetal movements reported by the mother. A male infant (weight 2840g, Apgar 10) was born. The mother and the child were discharged on day 5 of the postpartum. Treatment with steroids, antihypertensive drugs, thyroxine and enoxaparin was continued. Hypertension and preeclampsia are the most dangerous complications in pregnant women with Takayasu’s disease. They can affect the health status of the mother and the child. Maternal blood pressure should be controlled very accurately on the two superior limbs. Vaginal delivery of the baby is preferred. Cesarean section is indicated when the values of the maternal blood pressure are elevated in the second part of vaginal delivery.Przedstawiamy przypadek ciężarnej z chorobą Takayasu, u której rozpoznanie zostało postawione w dzieciństwie. Pacjentka planowała ciążę, zmodyfikowano u niej leczenie pod kątem koncepcji i zaszła w ciążę spontanicznie w przeciągu roku. Pozostawała pod opieką lekarza ginekologa od 6 tygodnia ciąży. Aktywność zapalenia naczyń przez cały okres ciąży utrzymywała się na niskim poziomie. Ciśnienie tętnicze kontrolowano niskimi dawkami Metyldopy i Metoprolu. Pacjentka otrzymywała 5 mg Prednizonu i Enoxaparinę w dawce 40 mg na dobę. W trzecim trymestrze ciąży wartości ciśnienia tętniczego u pacjentki wzrosły, wymagała wyższych dawek leków hipotensyjnych. W dobowej zbiórce moczu zaobserwowano białkomocz znamienny. Doszło do wzrostu poziomu enzymów wątrobowych. W 37 tyg. ciąży ze względu na zawężoną oscylację w zapisie kardiotokograficznym i słabsze odczuwanie ruchów płodu rozwiązano ciążę cięciem cesarskim. Urodzono noworodka płci męskiej, w stanie ogólnym dobrym o masie 2840 g, który uzyskał 10 punktów w skali Apgar. Okres wczesnego połogu przebiegał bez powikłań i matkę wraz z dzieckiem wypisano do domu w piątej dobie po zabiegu, utrzymując leczenie hipotensyjne, sterydoterapię, heparynę drobnocząsteczkową i leczenie substytucyjne tyroksyną. Nadciśnienie tętnicze i nałożony stan przedrzucawkowy to szczególnie niebezpieczne powikłania u ciężarnych z chorobą Takayasu i stanowią zagrożenie dla dobrostanu płodu oraz zdrowia matki. Systematyczna kontrola ciśnienia tętniczego na obu kończynach górnych powinna być bardzo wnikliwa. Poród drogami natury jest preferowany u tych pacjentek, a w sytuacji gdy nie udaje się opanować wysokich wartości ciśnienia tętniczego w trakcie drugiego etapu porodu, wskazane jest rozwiązanie cięciem cesarskim

    The ability to use language creatively constitutes one of the goals of foreign language teaching. The classroom setting, however, makes for artificial functioning of both learners and teachers. Audiovisual materials, then, will be of especially great importance at this juncture. The author contends^that from the psychological viewpoint comicality and humour tend to promote linguistic activity. Finally, the article presents a new theory of the functioning of visual representation in foreign language teaching

    The main subject of the author’s interest is the problem of including cultural contents and elements of the intercultural communication in teaching the German language to foreign students.
