Filter by:BACKGROUND: A cornerstone of treatment in preeclampsia is to correct the potential hypovolemia with intravascular optimisation, which is usually performed as a fluid challenge. The prediction of fluid responsiveness in these patients, secondary to anatomical and physiological changes associated with pregnancy has not been established. This study aims to evaluate if Passive Leg Raising (PLR) protocol can predict fluid responsiveness in pregnant patients with severe preeclampsia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: in 35 pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia with a clinical indication to optimise intravascular volume, . A PLR manoeuvre and a fluid challenge will be performed, and hemodynamic parameters were recorded using Bioreactance technology. Descriptive statistical analyses, Pearson chi-square test, and mean standard deviation (SD) will be calculated. Analysis of proportion was used to calculate probabilistic intersections of the interventions. The area under curve, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated for a delta of 12. Objective: to evaluate the if passive leg rising protocol identifies fluid responsivness in pregnant patients with preeclampsia
Obesity before and during pregnancy is associated with a higher risk for a number of obstetric and metabolic complications in women and their offspring. Of particular importance, obese women have a higher risk of developing gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. In addition, obese women have larger offspring who have a higher risk for the development of obesity and diabetes; both largely attributed to higher maternal glycemia and glucose intolerance during pregnancy. Thus, identifying rehabilitative interventions that improve maternal and offspring metabolic and cardiovascular health in obese pregnancy are critical and have immediate and generational impact. Resistance and aerobic exercise training is a clinical staple for improving musculoskeletal, metabolic and cardiovascular health in non-gravid adolescents and adults with obesity however little is known regarding the effects of exercise during obese pregnancy. This study proposes to collect preliminary data on the independent effects of acute aerobic and resistance rehabilitative exercise on glucose metabolism and vascular function during pregnancy in n=15 obese women in order to inform a large, multisite clinical trial examining the acute and chronic effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on glucose metabolism and vascular function in normal weight, overweight and obese women during pregnancy.
Preeclampsia is a serious maternal condition affecting up to 5% of pregnancies from the general population and up to 30% of lupus pregnancies. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid- ASA) has been shown to reduce the risk of preeclampsia, by half, in women at high risk. Therefore, it is recommended that health professionals initiate aspirin early during pregnancy in women with lupus. Despite this recommendation, there are currently no studies of aspirin in women with lupus for this indication. This is a critical knowledge gap as aspirin could potentially have a large benefit in this high-risk population. The investigator will perform a RCT to evaluate the effect of a specifically designed patient educational tool on preeclampsia knowledge and ASA adherence in pregnant women with SLE. The research efforts will improve reproductive health of SLE women and the outcomes of offsprings.
Pregnant women at a higher risk for pre-eclampsia (PE) should be offered preventive daily treatment with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) started before 16 weeks of gestation. To select patients at higher risk for PE, multiparametric assessment combining maternal history, biochemical factors and biophysical factors should be used during the first trimester of pregnancy. Multiparametric risk assessments have a detection rate for early-onset PE around 80% at a false positive rate of 10%. Owing to the low prevalence of early-onset and preterm PE, more than 90% of patients considered at high risk, at the first-trimester screening, will not eventually develop PE. Thus, ASA treatment would be innecessary and could be safely discontinued in these patients. The sFlt-1 to PlGF ratio has a high negative predictive value for PE during the second and third trimester of pregnancy. Thus, it could be used to detect false-positive patients from the first-trimester screening. This is a multicentric, randomized, open, parallel, controlled, phase III trial, where 1,080 patients under treatment with ASA for being at high risk for preeclampsia from the first-trimester screening, will be candidates to participate. Patients with a sFlt-1/PlGF <38, from 24 to 27+6 weeks of gestation will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio and allocated to either continue ASA until 36 weeks or to stop ASA treatment.
A study of aspirin use in pregnancy to prevent high blood pressure and growth restriction of the fetus
Preeclampsia is one of the most serious complications in pregnancy that causes maternal death and preterm delivery. Series studies has show that the competing risk model developed by the Fetal Maternal FouNdation in early pregnancy has the potential to predict preeclampsia effectively but has show crowd difference. We aim to evaluate the performance of various screening model based on FMF model in Chinese population.

The complement C1q tumor necrosis factor-associated protein-9 (CTRP-9), which is responsible for regulating cardiovascular and metabolic functions, increases vascular relaxation by pathway dependent on AMPK / endothelial nitric oxide synthesis (eNOS). The aim of this study was to investigate CTRP-9 levels in pregnant women with preeclampsia.
Pre-eclampsia is one of the most threatening pregnancy complications. So far neither a secure, competent therapy for PE nor effective biomarkers for a premature discovery has been achieved.The aim of our study was to identify miRNAs 136, 494 and 495 genes expression in exosomes of peripheral blood compared to umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells conditioned media released exososomes in patients with PE, as valuable markers for PE early prediction.
This is an international multicentre prospective cohort study to validate the Bayes theorem based algorithms for the screening of pre-eclampsia (PE) in the first-trimester of pregnancy.
