Filter by:The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is involved in cardiovascular, metabolic and cognitive processes, so its study in the fetus can provide relevant functional diagnostic and prognostic information. In particular, the study of the fetal ANS allows us to understand the degree of nervous maturation reached by the fetus and any developmental disorders that could have an impact on the cardiovascular characteristics of the fetus. The goal of this open-label, non-randomized, prospective observational study is to study the fetal ANS in pregnant women between 23 and 40 weeks of gestation. The objetives are: - To Evaluate Fetal Autonomic Nervous System (FANTE) through the analysis of maternal electrocardiogram (ECG) and others clinical parameters usually used in pregnancy monitoring. - To identify any variations in the fetal ECG in the event of developmental or pathological maternal and/or fetal pregnancy. Participants will be recruited during ultrasound visits, information sessions, and hospitalizations after signing informed consent.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the impact of donor milk vs formula supplementation on human milk feeding and the health outcomes of infants who require supplementation in well-baby units. It aims to explore whether supplementation with donor milk vs formula for infants during the initial hospital stay in a well-baby unit will increase both the exclusivity and duration of breastfeeding at 4 months. The Investigators will also explore whether the type of supplementation will positively affect measures of newborns' health, growth, behavior, feeding efficacy, and parental stress. Each participating infant born to a diabetic mother OR born small for his/her gestational age (<2500 grams) is assigned at random to 2 groups. The groups are: 1) Donor milk: all babies in this group will receive pasteurized donor milk from a trusted milk bank. 2) Formula: all babies in this group will receive formula as a standard of care.
This interventional study examines the addition of telemonitoring (TM) in prenatal care for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). By incorporating TM into the prenatal care for GDM, it is expected to achieve faster and improved follow-up, resulting in faster reaction time in the detection of aberrant blood glucose levels. Therefore, the overarching aim is to improve maternal and newborn pregnancy outcomes through optimized monitoring strategies (TM).
The goal of the project is to conduct a pilot feasibility randomized trial comparing a community-based lifestyle intervention called Meals for Moms (M4M) versus the usual care for pregnant persons diagnosed with gestational diabetes (GDM). Participants will be randomly placed into the usual care (UC) comparison group or the M4M healthy living program, which includes continued GDM education, physical activity level monitoring, and delivery of medically-tailored GDM meals. The trial will assess if M4M is feasible for the management of gestational diabetes in pregnant patients.
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
This is a randomized controlled trial to assess the effect of routine exercise counseling compared to the recommendation for postprandial ambulation on infant birthweight among pregnant people with gestational diabetes mellitus. The primary outcome is birthweight percentile for gestational age at delivery. Secondary outcomes include feasibility and acceptability, need for metformin or insulin for glycemic control, mode of delivery, neonatal hypoglycemia. Participants will be counseled to either complete 20 minutes of walking after meals, or be counseled with routine exercise counseling of 30 minutes of low-impact 5x a week. Their activity will be tracked by "FitBit" pedometers and uploaded via bluetooth to a database for review. They will continue to receive routine obstetric and diabetes care.
The treatment of gestational diabetes (GDM) primarily revolves around consuming an optimal diet that does not cause blood glucose levels to become excessively high and provides an adequate supply of micro- and macronutrients without resulting in excessive weight gain during pregnancy. In some cases, it may become necessary to supplement with insulin during pregnancy. However, insulin treatment is associated with personal, health-related, and healthcare cost-related implications. The rationale for this study is the lack of knowledge regarding whether the extent of support and guidance from a dietitian during pregnancy has an impact on the treatment outcomes for both the mother and the child in cases of GDM. The overall objective is to investigate differences in clinical, cost-related, and patient-reported outcomes between women with GDM randomised to either intensive dietary therapy or standard dietary care (control). The primary endpoint is the effect of intensive dietary therapy on the likelihood of remaining treated with diet only vs. needing insulin therapy. The study design is a randomised controlled parallel group open-label effectiveness trial including 232 women with GDM.
The primary objective of the STRIVE study is to compare two implementation strategies for Diabetes Prevention Program delivery: an in-person health coach strategy (standard 24 in-person sessions at WIC clinics) vs. a multifaceted technology-assisted health coach implementation strategy (12 in-person sessions at WIC clinics supplemented by technology support) on implementation and health-related outcomes in postpartum women.
Pregnant women are susceptible to develop periodontitis, but these oral health changes related to pregnancy are often neglected. Periodontitis is accompanied by a low-grade systemic inflammation and can be harmful to the general health of the woman, contribute to pre-term birth and adversely influence the future health and metabolism of the offspring. Despite this, studies indicate that 40% of Danish women in childbearing age do not visit a dentist regularly. The PROBE controlled intervention study will investigate the beneficial effect of treatment of periodontal disease during pregnancy on fetal growth, preterm delivery and birth weight.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate whether self-administered postpartum diabetes screening tests in patients with gestational diabetes improves screening completion rates. The primary question it aims to answer is: 1. Does a self-administered 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test with virtual follow-up visit increase the rate of postpartum diabetes screening within 12 weeks of delivery?
