Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of a clinical screening strategy and genomic analysis of the factors involved in Placental Dysfunction (Preeclampsia and IUGR) in women of advanced maternal age undergoing assisted reproduction techniques (ART), specifically, in vitro fertilization (IVF) and oocyte donation.
The goal of this[ type of study: randomized controlled trial]is to compare Preeclampsia following Natural vs. Artificial Cycle in patients undergoing frozen embryo transfer. The main question[s] it aims to answer is • Does NC-FET decreases the incidence of preeclampsia in patients undergoing frozen embryo transfer as compared to AC-FET ? The main objective is to compare the proportion of preeclampsia in women with a viable pregnancy with natural cycle protocol to artificial cycle protocol when practicing frozen embryo transfer. Participants recruited will be divided into two ARM(1513 per arm). ARM 1 will undergo the Natural Cycle procedure of Embryo transfer, and ARM 2 will undergo the Artificial Cycle procedure of Embryo transfer. The primary outcome will be the proportion of preeclampsia. The duration of the study is around 2 year.
The purpose of study is to find the effects of autogenic training on blood pressure and anxiety in preeclampsia females. There is little of evidence to allow conclusions about effectiveness of autogenic training on preeclampsia Therefore this study will add to the growing body of knowledge that if autogenic training is better than any other protocol for preeclampsia and anxiety then it should be a choice of therapy treatment. This study can provide help pregnant females and other society members to think about treatment of preeclampsia and anxiety other than medical approach.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (including preeclampsia) are among the leading causes of pregnancy complications and maternal deaths worldwide. They also increase the risks to the babies. Numerous interventions have been suggested in order to reduce the rate of preeclampsia. Low-dose aspirin is the most beneficial prophylactic approach in this regard. Nevertheless, aspirin failure is not uncommon. The genetic, laboratory, and clinical factors associated with low-dose aspirin failure in the prevention of preeclampsia are largely unknown. The presence of a genetic variant in PAR4 receptor expressed on platelets, is associated with increased platelet function and possibly with aspirin failure.
Procalcitonin is a protein consisting of 116 amino-acids which can rapidly rise under inflammatory conditions and sepsis. More than 20 years ago it has been shown that dipeptidylpeptidase-4 (DPP-4) cleaves procalcitonin from the n-terminus, resulting in a truncated procalcitonin-variant which consists of 114 aminoacids. Within their workgroup the investigators found that the truncated procalcitonin-variant had deleterious effects on vascular integrity during sepsis in mice. However, it is unknown if this applies also in humans. By using an ELISA-assay the investigators want to examine the ratio between native and truncated human procalcitonin during diseases accompanied with hyperprocalcitoninemia and correlate the results with clinical data.
Severe pre-eclamptic toxemia has a high incidence of renal complications. Rapid diagnosis and termination of pregnancy are still the gold standard main treatment for pre-eclampsia. Rapid control of blood pressure showed to provide protection against many adverse effects of preeclampsia as intracranial hemorrhage, subcapsular hepatic hematoma and acute kidney injury (AKI). In Assiut university hospital ICU regimen, glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) was used primarily for this purpose. But it was accused in many cases as a cause for AKI without any other organ damage along with the severe preeclampsia disease. Some previous studies supported this assumption as , Ying-Hsuan .T. et.,al during their study of GTN on renal outcome during cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiac surgery. Phentolamine infusion is a new rising alternative for an old drug with a high safety profile. In this research protocol the researchers will study comparative effect of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) versus phentolamine on renal outcome in severe pre-eclampsia patients during their stay in obstetric ICU.
The primary goal of this observational study is to learn about postpartum pulmonary artery pressure in women who suffered from Preeclampsia and Antiphospholipid Syndrome. The main question it aims to answer is whether the conjunction of preeclampsia with obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome significantly foster the development of long-lasting pulmonary hypertension. Only participants who suffered from preeclampsia during pregnancy will be followed for a period up to 3 years postpartum. Researchers will compare women with or without obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome.
The Achieve Trial is a randomized clinical trial to test whether lowering blood pressure to less than 140/90 mmHg in women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy will prolong pregnancy.
A large number of studies on MVs from syncytiotrophoblasts support the hypothesis of their involvement in pre-eclampsia, via their multiple effects, among others as pro-coagulant, immuno-stimulatory and anti-angiogenic factors. The main objective is to compare the total concentration of the main populations of MVs in the maternal blood of a population of pre-eclamptic patients to those of a population of non-pre-eclamptic patients.
The study is planned to describe the prevalence and severity of cardiac, lung and optic-nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) ultrasound abnormalities in women with early onset preeclampsia with severe features. These findings will be compared with point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) abnormalities demonstrated in our recent study on late onset preeclampsia. The primary aim of the current study will be to examine the association between pulmonary interstitial edema (PIS), as identified by lung ultrasound, and cardiac dysfunction on echocardiography, and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), in early onset preeclampsia, after comprehensive echocardiographic assessment. The secondary aims are to assess ONSD, and to explore the association between PIS or ONSD and serum albumin. A further secondary aim will be to explore the association between POCUS abnormalities and cardiotocography abnormalities and early delivery.
