Filter by:The etiologies and some risk factors for pregnancy loss in the 2nd trimester are described in the literature. However, there are some risk factors that are not studied. The PEGREP study is a retrospective observational case-control study whose main objective is to identify risk factors for pregnancy loss between 15 and 22 weeks. The patients included cases are women who had a pregnancy loss between 15 and 22 SA between 2010 and 2015 and who were listed during the mortality reviews of the perinatal network of Western Brittany. The patient witnesses gave birth at the end of a healthy child in one of the maternity of Western Brittany. Matching 1 case for 1 controls was done on the woman's age, parity and number of fetuses.
The investigators are conducting a study on pain control for dilation and curettage (D&C). Participants are eligible to enroll if they are a planning to have a D&C in a participating clinic. The investigators are studying how different ratios of medication to liquid affect pain when injected around the cervix. Both potential methods use the same dose of medication, though researchers would like to know which one works better. To be in this study, participants must be over the age of 18 with an early pregnancy loss or undesired pregnancy measuring less than 12 weeks gestation undergoing D&C while awake in clinic.
Correlation between the presence of intracellular viruses/bacteria and the incidence of miscarriage during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Termination of pregnancy is an important subject that has complex and emotional controversies. The most common time of termination of pregnancy is the mid-trimester which has two-thirds of all serious abortion-related complications. There are many indications for mid trimester termination of pregnancy such as missed abortion, serious fetal abnormalities and lastly some women do not wish to continue a pregnancy and will often request termination of pregnancy
Medical abortion using multiple vs single daily dose of misoprostol in first trimester miscarriage.
To compare the effectiveness of estradiol pretreatment with misoprostol and vaginal misoprostol alone in induction of second trimestr miscarriage.
Background Miscarriage is the most frequent complication of pregnancy and represents the spontaneous loss of the embryo or foetus before it is able to survive independently (24 weeks of gestation). It affects up to 50% of pregnancies with the vast majority (80%) occurring at pre-clinical stage before the woman recognises the pregnancy. Up to 5% of couples suffer recurrent miscarriage defined as 2-3 or more miscarriages leading to physical, emotional and financial consequences for couples, doctors and medical systems. Different maternal health problems (thyroid disease, sticky blood, autoimmune disease, anatomical anomalies of the womb) and embryo defects may be responsible for some of the miscarriages; however, more than 50% of the occurrences have no identifiable cause based on the current diagnostic tests. Aim The aim of the present research proposal is to understand the role of the lining of the womb in miscarriage and to explore the development of a potential implantation test that is cost-effective and may be implemented in clinical practice. Methods Over a period of two years, women who suffered recurrent miscarriage will be approached in the advanced miscarriage clinic at Birmingham Women's Hospital during their routine appointment. Participants will be invited to participate by undergoing chromohysteroscopy and/or a biopsy from the lining of the womb during an outpatient appointment. Chromohysteroscopy is based on a routine hysteroscopy which involves visualising the inside of the womb using a narrow telescope passed through the neck of the womb (cervix). "Chromo" comes from the fact that an iodine based dye will be injected to increase the power of the test. The biopsy will be taken using a narrow plastic tube passed through the cervix. It is a standard diagnostic test for women with abnormal bleeding. As part of the present research, different cells and molecules will be analysed from the biopsy sample.
In France The prevalence of Pregnancy Loss after 12 weeks of gestation is around 3%. This situation is probably associated to a risk of post-traumatic stress disorder. As a part of the medical staff midwives are often confronted with this situation, however they can have difficulties to identify short and long term effects of a post-traumatic stress disorders. The purpose of the present study is to estimate and analyze the prevalence of short-term (1 month) post-traumatic stress disorder in women with pregnancy loss after 12 weeks of gestation.The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder will be tracked using the Impact of Event Scale-revisited and the Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaires.The diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder will also be clinically confirmed by a psychiatrist during a specific consultation.
The study group included 910 women who attended Fayoum university hospital gynecology outpatient clinic for postabortive evaluation. The control group included 940 women attended outpatient clinic for any other procedure or complaint
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with recurrent pregnancy loss or unexplained infertility have an altered uterine gene expression or uterine microbiome (micro-organism composition) during the window of embryo implantation. Furthermore we would like to assess for women with an abnormal uterine gene expression whether vaginal progesterone medication improves or alters gene expression and for women with an abnormal microbiome whether antibiotic treatment followed by probiotic treatment normalizes the microbiome.
