Filter by:Although first reports of the clinical use of adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRC) suggest that this approach may be feasible and effective for soft tissue augmentation, there is a lack of randomized, controlled clinical trials in the literature. Hence, this study aimed to investigate whether a novel protocol for isolation of ADRC and their use in combination with fat tissue improve the long-term retention of the grafts in paediatric patients with craniofacial microsomia.
Tahneek is an Arabic word which means putting something sweet such as dates, in the infant's mouth after the birth. Neonatal hypoglycemia is common in the first few days after birth. Up to 15 % of normal newborn babies will have low blood glucose concentrations. It has been demonstrated that treatment of neonatal hypoglycemia with oral dextrose gel was more effective than feeding alone in reversing the hypoglycemia, and also reduced the rate of NICU admission. investigators study is using dates to asses its effect on hypoglycemia in infants at risk.
A study of aspirin use in pregnancy to prevent high blood pressure and growth restriction of the fetus
Objective To access predictive values of the auxological parameters and indexes for risk of comorbid malformations in newborns with Down syndrome (DS) Study design In this cohort retrospective study, 141 newborns with proven trisomy 21 born at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the University of Split Hospital (1990 to 2015) were included. The data were obtained from the medical histories of mothers, infants and the delivery protocol. The objective was to access predictive values of the auxological parameters and indexes for risk of comorbid malformations in newborns with Down syndrome (DS) Conclusion Higher CI were found in hyportrophic (SGA) newborns with DS and indicated their intrauterine growth restriction with brain sparing and increased further risk of severe psychomotor retardation. The SGA newborns have lower parameters and indexes of nutritive status and significantly differed from eutrophic and hypertrophic newborns. These SGA newborns with DS have increased developmental risks and that requires further diagnostic attention.
The pre-eclampsia is a frequent pathology, concerning approximately 5 % of the pregnancies.The pre-eclampsia can evolve into severe maternal and\or foetal complications and is a major cause of mortality. The purpose of the study will to estimate the relevance of the serum markers sFlt1 and PlGF to predict the arisen of severe complications at these patients, what would allow to decrease the materno-fœtale morbi-mortality due to the pathology.
Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are two major pregnancy complications, related to a chronic utero-placental hypoperfusion. Nowadays, there isn't a screening or diagnostic test in clinic for utero-placental vascularization deficiency. Since 2004, 3D Power Doppler angiography has been used for the evaluation of utero-placental vascularisation and three vascular indices have been calculated: the vascularisation index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascularisation-FI (VFI). A high intra and inter-observer reproducibility and its potential interest for placental function study were reported. The investigator's main hypothesis is that these 3DPD indices could provide predictive values for PE and/or IUGR occurrence much higher than those observed with the currents other markers. Objectives: The main objective of this study is to determine differences in 3DPD indices at first trimester between pregnancies defined at their outcome as uncomplicated pregnancy, PE (mild and severe) and IUGR in nulliparous women. Methods and analysis: This is a prospective study. The investigators expect to include 2200 women in 4 French centers: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nancy, Paris-Port-Royal (Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris), Strasbourg and Belfort (Hôpital Nord Franche-Comté). The nulliparous pregnant women will be recruited during their 1st trimester consultation for routine Down syndrome screening (11-13+6 gestation weeks). Especially for the study, the 3DPD and Uterine Artery Doppler (UAD) acquisition, which last less than 10 min, will be included in the current routine 11-13+6 gestation weeks ultrasound screening. Also, additional blood samples will be taken for biomarker analysis (PAPP-A and P1GF) and biological collection. Utero-placental vascularization indices (VI, FI, VFI) will be quantified using VOCAL® software. For each subgroup (uncomplicated pregnancy, PE and IUGR) mean values in 3DPD indices will be computed and compared using a pairwise t test with a Bonferroni correction p value adjustment.
TREATMENT OF INTRAUTERINE GROWTH RESTRICTION WITH LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT HEPARIN.
Normal fetal growth is a critical component for a healthy pregnancy and for ensuring the health and well-being of infants throughout childhood and adolescence. One promising area of research suggests that changes in fetal soft tissue may be the earliest changes that occur in pathologic growth. Three-dimensional volume assessments may be used to detect changes in fetal lean mass, fat mass, and organ size that result from pathologic growth earlier than conventional 2D measures. This knowledge may lead to interventions that could minimize or prevent pregnancy and newborn health problems in the future.
Prospective comparative cohort study including 159 pregnant women at the third trimester recruited from the antenatal clinic at EL-Demerdash outpatient clinic, and followed up during the holy month of Ramadan (from 18th June To 16th July 2015). The patients recorded their pattern of fasting during Ramadan then grouped into three groups A, B, C regarding fasting state A- Non fasting group B- Partially fasting group C- Totally fasting group
High risk women for growth restricted fetuses will randomized in the second trimester into different strategies applied to the mothers: a stress reduction program based on mindfulness techniques or a nutrition interventional program based on Mediterranean diet.
