ALPORT SYNDROME in Pregnancy
Alport is a complex hereditary syndrome (~80% X-chromosome-linked, ~ 15% autosomal recessive, ~ 5% autosomal dominant) with various clinical manifestations: renal failure, hearing loss, vision loss, and diffuse leiomyomata. With countless mutation arrays for each type (X-linked 685+, autosomal recessive 50+, autosomal dominant 73+), the prognosis and management of this disease is a quandary as well. This presentation covers the diagnostic, diff-diagnostic and management tips for Alport in general, as well as in pregnancy and postpartum. Scenarios and multiple-choice questions (all written by the presenter, Naira) are bound to help understand and memorize the principle issues of tangency. The verbal presentation is in German; the slides are in English. The background music: Ludwig van Beethoven, Symphony No 9 (fragments only, among those "Ode to Joy").

LISTERIOSIS in Pregnancy
A medical and legal in-depth analysis of listeria-infected pregnancy. The background music is of Carl Czerny: Edute Impromptu Passionné. I remember my first year in music school when I was 6 y/o. My first note scores were of Czerny (Austrian) and Scarlatti (Italian). This was a balanced and meaningful life that my awesome parents provided with impossible devotion and love. Today, when both are gone, my son and I face this ugly world that is nothing but a hazardous dumpster.
