Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the sensitivity and the specificity of electrical cardiometry to the lung ultrasound in measuring thoracic lung water in pregnant females with pre-eclampsia. If electrical cardiometry is validated against ultrasound, it will be easy to use with numerical number that will not require advanced experience as with the ultrasound.
the investigators assume that magnesium sulphate for treating eclampsia can be safely reduced from 24 hours to shorter duration of therapeutic anticonvulsant effect for 12 hours. Short duration of drug exposure is suitable for low resource setting where there is little tools or busy staff for monitoring drug toxicity.
Normal pregnancy is associated with vasodilation and decreased peripheral resistance, which is detected as early as 5 weeks' gestation . Pre-eclampsia is a multi-system disorder of the second half of pregnancy , which is characterized by increased vascular reactivity and peripheral resistance with pathological changes that are consistent with impaired blood flow to the affected vascular beds. Investigators will evaluate fetal and maternal vascular changes in normotensive and pre-eclamptic patients by Ultrasound and Doppler and their impact on prediction of pregnancy outcome.
Vitamin D deficient pregnant ladies were selected and randomized into 2 groups for routine daily dose of multivitamin (400IU vitamin D3) versus maximum safest treatment daily dose (4000IU vitamin D3). Participants were assessed and compared for number of pre-eclampsia cases.
Investigators will test a novel system of integrated care, to promote the use of the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION Guidelines for the management of pre-eclampsia and initiate the use of a structured risk assessment strategy to reduce the incidence of preterm delivery from pre-eclampsia by providing obstetricians with the confidence to safely defer delivery of women with pre-eclampsia, identified to be of low risk.
Use of Postpartum uterine curettage in reducing hospitalization time or in improving the clinical evolution of the patient with preeclampsia/eclampsia.
This study is designed to comprehensively investigate the anti-inflammatory role of vitamin D in reproductive aged women, and its association with preeclampsia and depression. Findings will have substantial impact providing new information implicated in the development of preeclampsia (a condition that may include hypertension, tissue swelling caused by excessive fluid, and kidney stress) and postpartum depression (after birth). Additionally, the study is designed to understand how early mental health screening and evaluation can help pregnant women reduce their risk of developing postpartum depression. Testing the acceptability and effectiveness of this mental health screening, education and referral program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center will provide valuable patient centered qualitative and quantitative data that can be used in future services planning. The study will enroll up to 200 pregnant women (in third trimester of pregnancy) in total.
This study aims to compare between androgens level (serum total and free testosterone) in women with preeclampsia and normal ones in the third trimester of pregnancy (28-40 weeks).
The aims of this study are to develop algorithms based on a combination of maternal factors, uterine artery PI, MAP and serum biomarkers to estimate patient-specific risks for early Preeclampsia (PE) and to evaluate the screening performance of such algorithms in twins.
Pre-eclampsia is a heterogeneous multisystem disorder that complicates 2-8% of pregnancies and remains a leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. Pre-eclampsia is defined as new onset of hypertension (defined as a diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mm Hg and a systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg on at least two different recordings taken at least 4-6 h apart and less than 7 days apart, using an appropriate cuff) and substantial proteinuria (defined as excretion of protein ≥300 mg in 24 h or a protein concentration ≥ 300 mg/L or ≥ "1 +" on dipstick in at least two random urine samples taken at least 4-6 h apart but no more than 7 days apart) at or after 20 weeks of gestation. Pre-eclampsia only occurs in the presence of placenta and is resolved by delivery of the same. However, the underlying causes of the disease remain largely unknown.
