BACKGROUNDAccording to WHO statistics of 2013, daily 371,124[1] births, annually 135.5 million [1] births occur worldwide which tends to increase in the following years. In Mongolia, studies that evaluaterelationship between fluid intakes of pregnant women and preterm delivery risk have not been conducted so far to our knowledge. Thus, we aimed to determine this relationship by evaluating first and second trimester fluid intakesof pregnant women in Mongolia.METHODS35 and above years old pregnant women of 24-32 gestational weeks have been included in the study where body measurements and fluid intake were collected via questionnaireand examination.RESULTSWhen we studied the relationship between average fluid intake and preterm delivery risk, having inadequate fluid intake in the first trimester increased the risk of preterm delivery by 5.98 (CI95% 0.89-40.08, p<0.01) fold whereas having inadequate fluid intake in the second trimester increased the risk of preterm delivery by 4.03 (CI 95% 1.06-15.21, p<0.01) foldrespectively.CONCLUSIONSOur results show that low fluid intake in first and second gestational trimesters results in increased risk of preterm delivery significantly in Mongolia.

Background: We aimed to study the etiology and transmission route of diseases introducing the modern, rapid and high-sensitivity molecular genetic diagnostic methods for salmonellosis. Material and Method: In the study, we collected 680 stool samples and defined organisms of food intoxication by identification of bacteria, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and determined serotype and antibiotic resistance. Result: Salmonella spp was detected from the stool of 25 (42.3%) patients out of 59 outpatient clinic and of 170 (27.4%) patients out of 621 inpatient clinic with diagnosis of food intoxication. In total there was detected 195 salmonella spp, and out of this isolated Sal. typhimurum in 193 (98.9%), and Sal. enteritidis was in 2 (1.1%) patients, respectively. We defined Sal. typhimurum in selected 32 cultures and did not detect resistant gene DT-104 ACS-SuT by PCR. Conclusion As resulted in the survey, we defined 195 (28,6) Salmonella typhimurum among the 680 patients who were suffered from food intoxication, and revealed fast foods, animal derived foods such as chicken, fish caused the food intoxication. Sal. typhimurium not resistance to antibiotics.
