ANATOMIC AND FUNCTIONAL FEATURES OF THE SYSTEM "MOTHER-PLACENTA-FETUS" IN PHYSIOLOGICAL PREGNANCY IN DEPENDENCE ON WOMEN&ACUTE;S ETHNICITY
Aim: To study the anatomical and functional characteristics of different functional units of the "mother-placenta-fetus" system in the dynamics of physiological pregnancy, taking into account the ethnicity of women. Materials and Methods: A prospective longitudinal study of morphological and functional state of the mothers' organisms and their fetuses of Russian, Chechen and Ingush nationalities in the dynamics of physiological pregnancy. Results: We revealed statistically significant differences in morphometric parameters, hormonal status of the maternal organism, as well as in the rates of growth of the fetuses, defined by ethnicity. Conclusion: These results indicate the need for the development of individual regional standards for obstetric ultrasound screening. Representatives of Caucasian nationalities have higher risks for the development of the metabolic syndrome.
