Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[The effect of vitamin-mineral supplementation on the level of MDA and activity of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase in blood of matched maternal-cord pairs].
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of VIBOVITmama (Polfa Kutno S. A.) supplementation on lipid peroxidation (MDA) and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in blood of pregnant women and in umbilical cord blood of their children. It is shown, that MDA concentration in plasma increased during pregnancy in both studied groups; however in vitamin-mineral C supplemented women it was lower (p < 0.05) than in placebo (p < 0.005). ⋯ In erythrocytes of umbilical cord blood activity of GPx was higher in newborns of women taking vibovit (31.9 U/gHb) than in the control group (29.7 U/gHb), whereas activity of SOD was similar. Our result suggested that vitamin-mineral supplementation of pregnant women improved antioxidant status in mothers and their children. It seems that in order to prevent oxidative damage VIBOVITmama formula can be recommended as a supplement diet in pregnant women.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[The effect of vitamin, macro and microelement supplementation on markers of iron status in blood of pregnant women].
Interest in assessing iron status in the population of women during their child-bearing age has grown recently both in terms of detecting iron stores and evaluating whether they are sufficient to meet increasing needs during pregnancy. The fact that iron deficiency anaemia often develops in pregnancy indicates that that iron stores and dietary iron are insufficient to requirements and iron supplementation is needed. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of vitamin, macro and microelement supplementation on iron status of pregnant women and of their newborns. ⋯ In serum of umbilical cord blood concentration of total iron, transferin and ferritin were similar in newborns of both groups of mothers. The above results suggested that vitamin, macro and microelement supplementation of pregnant women improved iron status in mothers and in their children. It seems that administration Vibovitmama formula can be recommended as a dietary supplement in pregnancy in order to prevent subclinical deficiency of iron.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[End-tidal sevoflurane concentrations for laryngeal mask airway insertion and tracheal intubation in children].
Sevoflurane, a new inhalation anesthetic agent characterized by a low blood-gas partition coefficient and nonpungent odor, appears suitable as an induction agent for children. This study was conducted to determine the sevoflurane concentration required for tracheal intubation and insertion laryngeal mask in children. ⋯ Laryngeal mask insertion can be performed at a lesser sevoflurane concentration than that required for tracheal intubation.
