Filter by:The goal of this study is to pilot and evaluate a telemedicine medical abortion service delivery that allows remote communication between the woman and provider and limits medically unnecessary in-person visits to health or diagnostic centers.
This pilot study will test the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a remotely-delivered intervention for increasing daily physical activity levels and reducing sedentary behavior during pregnancy among women who are insufficiently active (i.e. reporting <150 minutes/week of moderate intensity activity and/or <7,000 steps/day). It is hypothesized that women will increase daily steps and decrease total sedentary time across the second trimester of pregnancy.
New research suggests that about 1 in 8 children may be diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the United States. This could be due to several reasons which remain unknown. This study invites mothers who have given birth to children in the United States to share their experiences with diet and supplementation during pregnancy. The purpose of this study is to understand the role of a mother's diet, social standing, and supplementation with folate or folic acid may have on her child's future development of autism. Comparisons will be made between mothers of children who have a child with an official ASD diagnosis from a clinician to mothers of children without an ASD diagnosis. Findings from this study can be used to help identify risk factors for ASD risk.
This project focuses on anti-seizure medication (ASM) clearance and physiological factors determining blood concentrations in pregnant adult women with epilepsy and amounts of exposure to their unborn children and nursing infants.
Pregnancy is a transitional period during which important physical, biological and psychological changes are experienced for women, and the probability of encountering factors that may cause stress, anxiety and low quality of life is high. Maternal stress in pregnancy is associated with negative birth outcomes and can be reduced with relaxation exercises. However, mindfulness-based approaches affect pregnancy outcomes positively. Data collected with the "Personal Description Form", and "The Pregnancy-related Anxiety Questionnaire-Revised 2".
Hyperemesis gravidarum is a disease of unknown etiology that is frequently encountered in pregnant women and seriously impairs their quality of life. In the United States, hyperemesis gravidarum is the most common cause of hospitalizations in the first half of pregnancy and is second only to preterm labor for hospitalizations during pregnancy overall. The prevalence of hyperemesis gravidarum is approximately 0.3-3% of pregnancies and varies due to different diagnostic criteria and ethnic differences in study populations. According to the latest guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) on nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, there is still no single accepted definition for hyperemesis gravidarum. The most commonly cited criteria for the diagnosis of hyperemesis gravidarum include persistent, unrelated to other causes, ketonuria, electrolyte abnormalities and acid-base disturbances, as well as weight loss. Weight loss is usually stated as at least 5% loss. In normal individuals, the appetite regulation center is the hypothalamus. Neuropeptides released from hypothalamic neurons play an important role in the regulation of nutrition by acting both in the hypothalamus and other appetite-regulating centers in the brain. Among the neuropeptides that are secreted by the central nervous system and peripheral organs and also play an important role in the regulation of energy and appetite, there are neuropeptides known as orexigenic neuropeptides, which reduce energy expenditure and increase appetite, as well as anorexigenic neuropeptides, which, on the contrary, reduce appetite and increase energy expenditure. It is known that disorders in these pathways cause pathologies in appetite and food intake in normal individuals. In our study, we plan to examine the levels of some neuropeptides in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum in order to investigate whether these pathways are affected or not. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether orexigenic neuropeptides (Orexin, Galanin) and anorexigenic neuropeptides (aMSH, CART) levels are associated with hyperemesis gravidarum.
Pregnancy is a period in which physiological and psychological changes are experienced and discomforts related to these changes are observed, and comfort is affected for the pregnant. However, fetal health concern refers to the concern of the expectant mother about the health of her developing fetus. Mindfulness is a non-judgmental and accepting focus of one's attention on what is happening right now. A total of 96 pregnant women (48 experimental, 48 control) are planned to be included in the study. Data will be collected with the "Personal Description Form", "Prenatal Comfort Scale (PCS)" and "Fetal Health Anxiety Inventory (FHAI)". In the study, a stress reduction program (MBSR) based on mindfulness will be applied by the researcher to the pregnant women in the experimental group.
In order to evaluate the efficacy and necessity of continuous non-invasive arterial pressure (CNAP) by comparing it with non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) in order to understand whether it has advantages over oscillometric technique for detection of hypotensive episodes in healthy pregnant women who underwent cesarean section (C/S) under neuraxial anesthesia. This prospective study will evaluate healthy pregnant women at term, who were scheduled for elective C/S under spinal anesthesia. Subjects were randomly assigned into 2 groups to receive either CNAP and NIBP or only NIBP. A thirty percent decrease in systolic blood pressure from either baseline or the measured values in the first two minutes, or if the systolic blood pressure was less than 90mmHg, is considered hypotension. Pre-, peri- and post-operative specifications, newborn characteristics, and complications were recorded and compared.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence-enabled ECG (AI-ECG) for cardiomyopathy detection in an obstetric population in Nigeria.
In 2016, according to the national perinatal survey, the average length of stay in maternity hospitals in France after a vaginal delivery was 4.0 days, confirming the decrease in this length of stay compared with previous surveys, but placing France among the Western countries with the longest stay. Several countries that have further reduced the average length of stay offer low-risk populations a return home in the first few hours after delivery. As early as 2014, the Haute Autorité de Santé reminded us that "once low risk is defined, the length of stay in the maternity hospital is not discriminating for the safety of the mother and the newborn. The optimal length of stay would rather depend on the organization of the discharge from the maternity hospital, the medical follow-up and the subsequent support". The studies against a very early discharge are the result of experiments that do not define low risk, and/or do not propose home support. This pilot study aims to provide a framework for a care pathway allowing discharge from the maternity hospital from the 2nd hour and before the 24th hour following an uncomplicated delivery. Its main objective is to show that such a care pathway allows to respect the French postpartum recommendations, while answering a legitimate expectation of personalization of the care offered to women wishing to be monitored at home earlier after the delivery. It also studies the complications, tolerance, satisfaction and cost of such care. This is a non-randomized cohort study. It studies 100 voluntary mother-newborn couples, after a delivery at the Nice University Hospital, meeting objective criteria of low risk. A daily follow-up is ensured by a liberal midwife during the first 3 days. The link between the patient, the private midwife and the maternity hospital is maintained permanently thanks to a free dedicated mobile application. This application, equipped with an alert system, is an additional guarantee of compliance with the recommendations for screening and mandatory procedures. It allows for a safer transfer of hospital care to ambulatory care, while providing personalized care tailored to the patient's expectations. This pilot study would be the beginning of a larger study demonstrating the non-inferiority of such a care pathway compared to the most common management requiring a stay of several days in a maternity hospital.
