Introduction: Urinary tract infections are one of the most frequent infectious complications during pregnancy [1], while acute pyelonephritis is the main non-obstetric reason for hospitalisation [2] [3]and septic shock in pregnant women. Objectives and methods: The aim of our study is to analyse the diagnostics and treatment of a 41-year-old pregnant woman with the most severe form of urinary tract infection—urosepsis. Case report: A 41-year old woman in the 12th week of pregnancy hospitalised at Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after urological intervention (JJ stent). On the first day after the intervention, the patient was diagnosed as having urosepsis. Scores: SOFA 14 pts, APACHE II 26 pts, SAPS II SCORE 61 pts. Second day in ICU: spontaneous abortion. Microbiological investigation: Escherichia coli—extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL+). Conclusions: Apregnant patient with a complicated infection of the urinary system ought to be treated in a multi-profile hospital, offering a possibility to consult doctors of various specialisations (urologist, gynaecologist, anaesthesiologist, nephrologist) as well as full access to a radiology laboratory, which will ensure the choice of appropriate and safe treatment for both the mother and the developing foetus.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...
