This expanded conference paper reports the results of a psychophysiological research study on shared intentionality conducted in 24 online experiments with 405 subjects (208 recipients and 197 contributor-confederates). In this research, we created bioengineering system for assessing human groups by modeling mother-neonate dyad properties during solving unintelligible multiple-choice puzzles. m...

results the duration of surgery and fetus delivery was significantly lower in ml than pk technique (p = 0.000). analgesic use during the post-operative period was significantly lower in ml than pk (p < 0.001). there were no significant statistical differences between the groups in regards to drop of the hematocrit (p = 0.32), fever (p = 0.056) and bowel transit time (p = 1.000). the mean apgar ...

HELLP syndrome is most often diagnosed between 27 and 37 weeks gestation. It is also a diagnosis that can be seen during the postpartum period. The effects of HELLP syndrome on the neonate can be significant. Recognizing the risks to the neonate can assist the clinician in preparing for the neonate prior to delivery. In doing so, the mortality and morbidity rates can be reduced.
