Filter by:The goal of this study is to find out if pregnant individuals with preterm preeclampsia (PE) who are treated with metformin can stay pregnant for longer, and if this is safe(r) for the mother and child. Preterm PE affects about 1 in 100 pregnant individuals in the Netherlands. Signs of preterm PE can be high blood pressure and protein in the urine in the second half of pregnancy (but before 32-34 weeks of pregnancy). Other symptoms can develop, such as problems with blood clotting and how well the blood cells, liver, lungs, and brain work. The disease can lead to serious complications for both the mother and child. The only way to cure preterm PE is to make sure the child is born, and many times, children have to be delivered (very) early (before 37 weeks). Children born (very) early can suffer from infections, breathing difficulties, and problems in their development. Metformin is a medicine used to treat high blood sugar during and outside of pregnancy. In a previous study in South Africa, women with preterm PE that used metformin were able to safely remain pregnant for an extra week. Similarly, the main goal of the Preeclampsia Intervention NetherLands (PI-NL) study is to see if patients with preterm PE in the Netherlands that use metformin can remain pregnant for a longer time than patients taking a placebo. A placebo is a look-a-like capsule that contains no active ingredients. Researchers, the treating medical team, and participants will not know which participant gets which treatment. In addition, all participants will receive the standard care that all preterm PE patients get.
The goal of this clinical trial is to better understand how different strategies, timing, and enhancements to medically tailored food delivery will address structural inequities in the food environment, empower communities to sustain behavior change, and ultimately improve postpartum weight control to prevent chronic hypertension-a potent contributor to disparate mortality among Black women. - To conduct a pilot randomized control trial to test the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of a multi-component Medically Tailored Food (MTF) intervention, MFeast ENHANCED (a hybrid MTF intervention with a patient-activated change from prepared meals to fresh food delivery, customized for postpartum people, culturally customized for engagement and adherence, and food provision for dependents) versus MFeast Usual Care (prepared medically tailored foods only). - To test sustainability and scalability. Participants will: - Respond to online surveys (supported by study team members via scheduled phone calls) via REDCap links shared before each study visit at baseline, 3 and 6 months post-delivery after the baseline survey. - Submit anthropometric data (e.g. weight and blood pressure)
- To investigate the possible role of vaspin and apoptosis in pre-eclamptic obese women . - To compare the serum as well as placental level of vaspin in normotensive and severe pre-eclamptic obese women. - To compare the serum as well as placental level of vaspin in normotensive normal body weight and severe pre-eclamptic obese women women . - To compare placental apoptosis marker Bcl2 in normotensive and severe pre-eclamptic obese women . - To compare placental apoptosis marker Bcl2 in normotensive normal body weight and severe pre-eclamptic obese women . - Correlation between vaspin and apoptosis in pre-eclamptic obese women . - Correlation between vaspin level and apoptosis marker with patient demographic data(Age -parity).
Pre-eclampsia is a serious condition that typically affects pregnant women after the 20th week of pregnancy, characterized by high blood pressure and damage to organs such as the kidneys and liver. Currently, treatment options are limited, which has prompted researchers to explore alternative approaches. One such promising alternative is dietary nitrate found in vegetables like beetroot, as nitrate can be converted into nitric oxide in the body, which helps lower blood pressure. This study aims to determine the acute effects of nitrate-rich beetroot juice on blood pressure, several blood and salivary markers in pregnant women with pre-eclampsia. Furthermore, the study will assess fetal blood flow using Doppler ultrasound. The investigators want to understand the kinetics of nitrate and nitric oxide metabolites and assess the temporal dependency of the hypotensive response. Through this investigation, the investigators seek evidence of nitrate-enriched beetroot juice as an adjunct therapy in managing pre-eclampsia.
The only effective treatment of severe preeclampsia is delivery of the fetus but immediate antihypertensive treatment is given to stabilize the patient and prevent further complications. All antihypertensive medication can potentially cross the placenta. At this time, there are no randomized control trials to base a recommendation for the use of one antihypertensive agent over another. However, certain medications are effective in lowering blood pressure with an acceptable safety profile in pregnancy. The choice of therapy depends on the acuity and severity of hypertension
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of aerobic (AE), resistance (RE), and combination (AERE) exercise throughout pregnancy on selected maternal and fetal/neonatal physiological variables in women at-risk for preeclampsia. The central hypothesis of this project is that exercise will decrease severity and occurrence of preeclampsia symptoms, thus improving maternal, pregnancy, and birth outcomes. Aim 1. Determine the influence of different exercise modes during pregnancy at risk of preeclampsia on maternal cardiometabolic health. Aim 2. Determine the most effective exercise mode in pregnancy at risk of preeclampsia on improving birth and infant health outcomes.
Stress and Sleep of Classical Turkish Music in Pregnant Women Diagnosed with Preeclampsia in Clinics The study to be carried out to determine the effect on quality is a randomized controlled experimental research. All patients who comply with the limitations of the study and volunteer will be included in the study. When the studies in the literature are examined, there are a limited number of studies on the effects of music on pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia, and no studies have been found on the effects of music on stress and sleep quality in pregnant women with preeclampsia. This research aimed to determine the effect of Classical Turkish Music on stress and sleep quality in pregnant women diagnosed with Preeclampsia in clinics.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HPT) are an important cause of maternal-feto-neonatal morbidity and mortality, being one of the three leading causes of maternal death in our country and in developing countries. The only cure for THE is termination of pregnancy, which ends up being a decision in which gestational age and maternal risks must be balanced. Angiogenic factors have come to occupy an indispensable place in the arsenal of tools that can be used to separate the patient with a high likelihood of complications from those in whom prolongation of pregnancy could represent an important neonatal benefit. Refining the diagnostic capability of this test would further improve maternal-fetal outcomes and the use of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement could make the difference. The purpose of the present study is to correlate the measurement of ONSD with serum angiogenic factor (AF) values in patients with pre-eclampsia and to determine its predictive ability for adverse perinatal outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of albumin versus routine care on hemodynamic response and stability in pre-eclamptic patients during cesarean delivery. The hypothesis is that volume replacement with albumin guided by stroke volume variation (SVV) using a ClearSight-Acumen (CS-A) monitor, before cesarean delivery (CD), improves hemodynamic stability in preeclamptic patients with severe features compared to routine care, under neuraxial anesthesia.
Pre-eclampsia is a disease characterized by placental damage leading to a cascade of complications during pregnancy. It is initially manifested by high blood pressure and the presence of albumin in the urine. It can lead to emergency hospitalization in severe cases and cause major complications or even death in the mother and the fetus. Several studies observing the outcome of patients with pre-eclampsia have shown an increased long-term cardiovascular risk in these patients, justifying regular medical follow-up with the treating physician and specialists, mainly cardiologists. The main objective of this research is to describe the cardiovascular risk assessment actions implemented by the treating general practitioner in the year following pre-eclampsia (blood pressure measurement in the office, self-measurement of blood pressure, ABPM, cardiological consultation, biological monitoring of blood (creatininemia, LDL, fasting glycemia) or urine (albuminurie/creatininurie ratio), and screening and management of possible smoking).
