Acute Fatty Liver of Pregnancy. The acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is an uncommon entity, potentially fatal, which affects women during the last quarter of pregnancy. It is characterized by a prodromic period of symptoms followed by jaundice, hepatic failure, clotting disorders and fatty infiltration of the liver, evident through hepatic biopsy. The incidence ranks from 1 to 20 thousand births, and it is more frequent among women with multiple pregnancies. We report the case of a 29-year-old patient, with multiple pregnancy 33 to 34 weeks of gestation, blood pressure values of 140/90 mmHg, 160,000/dL platelets, PT 25.6 seconds, TPT 64.7 seconds, blood glucose 52 mL/dL, creatinine 2.1 mg/dL, uric acid 11.9 mg/dL, lactic dihydrogenase 1063 U/l, GPT 220 U/l, AF 1172 U/l, total bilirubin 8.4 mg/dL, proteinuria 30 mg/dL. A cesarean section was practiced after correcting the coagulation disorders. The first twin was a male with birth weight of 2,070 g, APGAR 8-9; the second twin was a female fetal death weighting 2,050 g. Hepatic biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. The cause of AFLP is unknown. The frequency among multiple pregnancies is higher. Almost half of the cases have hypertension and proteinuria. There are also high levels of both transaminases, phosphatase and bilirubins and hypoglycemia. The prothrombin time is enlarged. The differential diagnostic between pre-eclampsia and AFLP is not crucial since the obstetric management is the same. The main treatment is promptly deliverance and general measures. The obstetrician must be aware of this hepatic disease.

To examine the relationship between health practice in combination with health examination data and mortality, a population-based prospective cohort study was conducted in 9 towns and villages of Gunma Prefecture, Japan. Public health nurses interviewed inhabitants about their health practices. This cohort consisting of 7,694 subjects aged 40 approximately 60 years old at baseline in 1993 was followed. During the ten-year follow-up period, 99 males and 80 females deceased. The relative risks (RRs) of some factors were estimated by the Cox proportional hazards model. RRs and 95% confidence interval with multivariate adjustment for all-cause mortality were observed significantly for age in years at the baseline (1.08, 1.04 approximately 1.12, p<0.01), GOT (1.02, 1.00 approximately 1.05, p<0.05), GPT (0.98, 0.96 approximately 1.00, p<0.05), and no proteinuria (0.36, 0.14 approximately 0.91, p<0.05) in male subjects. In females, RRs (95% confidence interval) of age in years at baseline, GOT, and gamma-GTP on mortality showed significance, which were 1.09 (1.05, 1.14, p<0.01), 1.03 (1.01, 1.05, p<0.01), and 1.01 (1.00, 1.01, p<0.05), respectively. When seven health practices and age in years at baseline were used as covariates, RRs (95% confidence interval) of age and no smoking on mortality showed 1.10 (1.06, 1.14, p<0.01) and 0.57 (0.37, 0.89, p<0.05), which were significant in males. In females, significant RRs (95% confidence interval) of age, no smoking and regular exercise on mortality were observed, which were 1.11 (1.07, 1.15, p<0.01), 0.48 (0.24, 0.94, p<0.05), and 1.63 (1.01, 2.63, p<0.05), respectively. These results suggested that increased risk of death was independently associated with aging, GOT, and smoking in males and females. In addition, there was a sex difference in lifestyle-related factors such as exercise, and health examination data such as proteinuria contributing to mortality in middle-aged general inhabitants in rural towns in Japan.

Indications in cardiovascular and respiratory procedures, osteoporosis, Diabetes Mellitus and obesity and their specified actions with cardiorespiratory physical activity require parameters which are based on consumption of energy, on effort applied in the biomechanical kinetic activity and kinematics. Using three models of physical activity: 1. Aerobic resistance exercise; 2. Strength-Resistance; 3. Chronic overexertion. The results of neutrophils, proteinuria, LDH, CPK, GOT, GPT and blood iron levels correlate statistically with the results of trace minerals: Zinc and Copper.
