Filter by:The goal of this observational prospective project is to study the metabolic alterations during normal and complicated pregnancies, obtaining an early detection of metabolic changes, offering new insights into future prevention and treatment strategies for both mother and offspring. Primary objectives: - measurement of maternal blood adipokine levels, during the first trimester of pregnancy, in two groups of women (high and low risk), in order to identify early markers which, in conjunction with the medical history, can identify women at increased risk of developing GDM - ultrasound measurement of adipose tissue deposits at ectopic sites, comparing low- and high-risk women, and assessing the effect of pregnancy on these deposits. - Identification, by targeted ultrasound assessment, of fetuses at increased risk of macrosomia. Secondary objectives: - Evaluation of the prevalence of GDM and its complications in a population of low- and high-risk women. - Evaluation of neonatal complications in children born to low- and high-risk mothers (need for resuscitation, hypoglycaemia, hypocalcaemia, admission to neonatal intensive care unit). The participants will be recruited during first trimester ultrasound after signing the informed consent.
In this study, the effect of music on arterial blood pressure, anxiety level, fetal heart rate and maternal-fetal attachment in pregnant women with gestational hypertension will be studied and it will be conducted as a randomized controlled intervention study to examine the relationships with each other. The sample group will consist of 90 pregnant women, 45 in the intervention group and 45 in the control group. Within the scope of the study, the data will be collected using the 'Personal Information Form, State-Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI TX-I)', Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale (MFA) created by the researcher, and the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of each patient will be measured with a calibrated sphygmomanometer (the same sphygmomanometer was used for each patient), fetal heart rate (FHR) and fetal movements (FM) will be measured by Electronic Fetal Monitoring and Nonstress test (NST). Data will be analyzed using SPSS-25 package.
In this study, it was aimed to evaluation of the effect of internet-based parenting education based on the information -motivation-behavioral skills (ımb) model on maternal and paternal attachment.
It has been known for years that placental transport and endocrine and metabolic functions of the placenta are the main determinants of fetal nutrition and homeostasis. And placental capacity is roughly related to the weight of this organ. It has long been understood that placental weight at birth is also positively associated with birth weight. Since the 1970s, it has been possible to assess the size of the placenta in early pregnancy using two-dimensional (2D) ultrasonography (USG). Since then, it has been estimated that placental size is associated with fetal development. However, the difficulty in defining the required sonographic planes due to the technology of that time-limited the usefulness of this technique. As studies on this subject increase with the development of technology, it has now been shown that low placental volume at 11-13 weeks is associated with babies small for gestational age (SGA), fetal growth restriction, and preeclampsia. Pregnancy complications place a severe burden on the health system. Detection of these complications in the early period will prevent maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. A relationship that predicts obstetric, fetal, and perinatal risks with placental thickness and width measurement with USG, a non-invasive method, in an early period such as the 1st trimester, will enable a proactive approach to complications. In our study, the investigators plan to present the perinatal results they obtained rather than investigating a specific relationship. The investigators think that the results of their study will make a profound contribution to the literature.
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of breastfeeding program integrated with art therapy such as mandala painting on postpartum breastfeeding self-efficacy, breastfeeding rates, and mother-infant attachment of primiparous mothers. Training on breastfeeding and mother-baby bonding and mandala drawings supporting the training will be sent online to primiparous pregnant women who are at 32-36 weeks of gestation and agree to participate in the study. Telephone follow-up and counseling will continue in the postpartum period. In the postpartum period, follow-up and counseling will continue until the second month.
Determination of fetal head position during labour is highly subjective and depends on clinician's experience in vaginal digital examination. Monitoring the progress of labour with intrapartum ultrasound (IU) exhibits higher accuracy rates. However, the dynamic process of labour needs very frequent sonographic examination and that may decrease the feasibility. Consultation to IU at certain time points can positively limit the need for ultrasound, increase the effectiveness of IU and allow for safer labour in consistency with traditional labour management. This study aims to investigate the use of IU in cases with suspected and diagnosed labour arrest in both the first and second stage of labour.
To determine whether 3D models of fetus' face created from 3D ultrasound will increase maternal and paternal attachment, lower stress, anxiety and depression and have improved life-style choices during pregnancy. Half of participants will receive 3D model and half will receive a picture of 3D ultrasound of their baby.
Evaluation of apgar, hemogram and developmental status of babies born from covid 19 positive mothers
Pregnancy related diseases and exposures in pregnancy are known risk factors for future disease. For example, women with a history of preeclampsia (a hypertensive disorder in pregnancy) and children born to these women are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. Yet, the mechanisms by which these long term health risks occur are unknown. Clearly, this presents a significant public health hazard as preventative and therapeutic interventions to block these pregnancy related diseases are limited. Current barriers to studying these long-term mechanisms in existing cohorts include 1) lack of paired long-term mother-child data, 2) lack of uniformly collected biosamples and 3) challenges in integrating data from multiple sources and institutions. In particular, data and biosample collection from rural and minority populations present significant challenges. The objective of the iELEVATE proposal is to expand and diversify a current biobank to accelerate long-term translational mechanistic and outcomes research in the vulnerable pregnancy population. We will accomplish this by establishing a widely available biorepository that will collect a first trimester blood and urine sample from pregnant women with a clinical data warehouse and e-registry to support long-term prospective cohort studies.
This study will invite healthy women with singleton pregnancies and normal 20 week ultrasounds to participate in the study that will involve completing a demographic questionnaire and measure of attachment, a 3D ultrasound, being randomized to receive a 3D printed model of the fetal face or not, and completing the attachment measure again.
