Filter by:This Pilot & Feasibility study will test the hypothesis that pregnant women who are more active will have better functioning mitochondria in vivo (higher ATPmax, via 31P-MRS), which will be positively related to maternal and infant mitochondrial function in vitro (higher oxygen consumption rates in primary myotubes and umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells, respectively). Twenty pregnant women (10 active and 10 sedentary) will be recruited in the first trimester of pregnancy determined from self-reported physical activity and assessment by activity monitors. Placental biospecimens will be collected during delivery for other molecular mitochondrial analyses.
The investigators are performing a randomized controlled trial investigating starting cervical ripening in the outpatient setting with a mechanical method, the transcervical Foley catheter. The objective of the study is to determine if outpatient compared to inpatient cervical ripening with a transcervical Foley catheter in nulliparous women undergoing induction shortens the time spent in labor and delivery (from the time of admission to the time of delivery).
To determine if mechanical labour induction can offer a safer and effective alternative to prostaglandins to women with previous caesarean section attempting trial of labour after caesarean (TOLAC).
The aims of this study were to investigate balance and pulmonary functions in pregnant and non-pregnant women and to determine their relationship with LBP.
Women with singleton pregnancies at one outpatient clinic to be recruited for controlled clinical trial. Over eight weeks, women 15 0/7--22 6/7 weeks' with at least one prior prenatal visit to be enrolled in the control group. Women 6 0/7--14 6/7 weeks' to be enrolled in the intervention group at their first prenatal visit and to receive a pregnancy-specific gestational weight gain card. Women to be encouraged to record their weight at each prenatal care visit. All women to complete a GWG knowledge--based questionnaire at 15 0/7-22 6/7 weeks'.
The investigators will compare, in a randomized clinical trial, two methods of placement (placement with a gloved hand vs. placement with a sterile speculum) of a Foley bulb transcervical dilator. The primary outcome is rate of infection.
The purpose of this trial is to create a comparative database, with data obtained with a new monitoring device of pregnant women,Toconaute, and two standard : a clinical cardiotocograph,and an electrophysiological signal medical device. It will allow to optimize the development of this new device. The use of the Toconaute and/or the electrophysiological medical device will succeed to the usual monitoring of pregnant women with a cardiotocograph. It will not change their medical care. The trial will include up to 35 pregnant women between 24 and 41 weeks of amenorrhea that requires discontinuous monitoring. It will last about 12 months, with an estimated inclusion period of 11 month.
The objective of this study is the adaptation of the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire to the French language from France, and the analysis of its psychometric properties. Firstly, a translation and adaptation process will be performed according to international guidelines. Secondly, the validation process will be performed through a sample of 250 pregnant or postpartum women suffering from pelvic girdle pain. They will fill several questionnaires, including Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire, that will allow us to analyse psychometric properties of the French version.
This study is a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the accuracy of the novel SAIL technique compared to the classic intercristal line technique in estimating the L4-L5 interspace for labor epidural or spinal anesthesia placement. The investigators hypothesize that the SAIL technique will be more accurate in successfully locating the L4-L5 interspace in pregnant women than the classic intercristal line technique.
To describe and compare abdominal muscles and inter-rectus distance conditions in postpartum period in comparison with nulliparous women. Also to describe the activation changes during different abdominal exercises.
