Filter by:Stress and Sleep of Classical Turkish Music in Pregnant Women Diagnosed with Preeclampsia in Clinics The study to be carried out to determine the effect on quality is a randomized controlled experimental research. All patients who comply with the limitations of the study and volunteer will be included in the study. When the studies in the literature are examined, there are a limited number of studies on the effects of music on pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia, and no studies have been found on the effects of music on stress and sleep quality in pregnant women with preeclampsia. This research aimed to determine the effect of Classical Turkish Music on stress and sleep quality in pregnant women diagnosed with Preeclampsia in clinics.
The objective of this research project is to conduct a single-site pilot trial to assess the feasibility and effect of low-dose aspirin to augment vascular recovery in the immediate postpartum period after preeclampsia through two specific aims: 1) to pilot test the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial of postpartum low dose aspirin vs. placebo, and 2) to assess the effect of postpartum aspirin on endothelial function and blood pressure. Our central hypothesis is that postpartum administration of low-dose aspirin following preeclampsia will be feasible, improve endothelial function, and lower BP at 6 months postpartum. Subjects will undergo 3 study visits involving BP measurements, blood draws, questionnaires, and/or microiontophoresis. Up to 60 adult subjects will be enrolled at Magee-Women's Hospital.
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific, multisystem disorder affecting 3% to 8% of pregnancies and remains a significant cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 76,000 maternal deaths annually are attributed to preeclampsia, accounting for 16% of global maternal mortality, with the majority occurring in low- and middle-income countries
Previous studies demonstrated that Placental Growth Factor (PIGF) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) produced by trophoblast cells decreases during Preeclampsia, whereas soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), an antiangiogenic factor, increases. The ratio sFlt-1/PlGF has a higher positive predictive value than the isolated measurement. A ratio under 38 exclude risk of imminent preeclampsia and allows to outpatient follow-up with a negative predictive value of 99.3%. A ratio equal or higher than 38 permits to direct high-risk patients towards hospitalization with a positive predictive value of 36.7% of preeclampsia at 4 weeks. These findings suggest that the ratio can be used to select more appropriately women needing hospitalization for suspected preeclampsia. This is a single-center prospective and observational study conducted from the 1rst of October 2019 to the 27th of January 2021, including pregnant women suspected of preeclampsia, above 24 weeks of gestation. Values were measured using the Elecsys sFlt-1/PlGF immunoassay ratio. The aim of the study is to observe the clinical decision regarding hospitalization, intensive patient monitoring, corticosteroid administration, and labor induction before and after knowing the ratio value
Patients with severe preeclampsia or eclampsia suffer from pulmonary complications. Accurate assessment of patients with pulmonary involvement using lung ultrasound (LUS) and echocardiography could lead to earlier detection of pre eclampsia and eclampsia associated pulmonary oedema, ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) and other pulmonary complications. here is currently limited evidence regarding the features, severity, aetiology and history of pulmonary oedema in this group of patients Data from this prospective observational study will facilitate the early recognition of pre-eclamptic and eclamptic patients with pulmonary involvement to implement optimal triage and early therapeutic choices in a limited resource setting (diuretics, escalation to non invasive or invasive ventilation, referral to HDU (High dependency unit) or ICU, dialysis) and potentially reduce unfavorable outcomes.
Evaluation of the predictability of estimated levels of Serpin C, sFlt-1 and placental growth factor (PLGF) in blood samples obtained during the 1st trimester from normotensive pregnant women for identification of women liable to develop PE during the course of pregnancy.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial of a food is medicine community health worker intervention called the Women's Health Delaware Food Farmacy compared to the usual standard of care among pregnant ChristianaCare patients at risk for adverse clinical outcomes. The pilot study has three specific aims: Aim 1: To assess the feasibility of the Women's Health Delaware Food Farmacy and refine the program as needed Aim 2: To determine the prevalence of and change in social needs Aim 3: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Women's Health Delaware Food Farmacy on maternal and child health, healthcare utilization, and clinical event outcomes as well as patient-reported outcomes compared to the usual standard of care
Preeclampsia/eclampsia is part of a spectrum of multi-systemic pregnancy disorder that contributes substantially to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, especially in low resource setting. This study was done in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Southeast Nigeria. To compare the efficacy of loading dose of magnesium sulphate with that of the Pritchard regimen in the prevention of eclampsia in severe preeclampsia and recurrent fits in eclampsia in a low resource setting. A prospective, single blinded randomized controlled study of loading dose versus Pritchard regimens of MgSO4 at the Teaching Hospital Abakaliki. One hundred and twenty patients were recruited 60 to each arm using computer-generated numbers. Sociodemographic characteristics, efficacy and adverse effects of the drug on the mother and baby were noted.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HPT) are an important cause of maternal-feto-neonatal morbidity and mortality, being one of the three leading causes of maternal death in our country and in developing countries. The only cure for THE is termination of pregnancy, which ends up being a decision in which gestational age and maternal risks must be balanced. Angiogenic factors have come to occupy an indispensable place in the arsenal of tools that can be used to separate the patient with a high likelihood of complications from those in whom prolongation of pregnancy could represent an important neonatal benefit. Refining the diagnostic capability of this test would further improve maternal-fetal outcomes and the use of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement could make the difference. The purpose of the present study is to correlate the measurement of ONSD with serum angiogenic factor (AF) values in patients with pre-eclampsia and to determine its predictive ability for adverse perinatal outcomes.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate Fetal Medicine Foundation's pre-eclampsia risk calculator using maternal characteristics, first trimester serum placental growth factor (PlGF) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in a Finnish general population. Condition or disease: pre-eclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, polycystic ovary syndrome
