Filter by:The goal of this MONAS Study is to learn about comprehensive monitoring and nutritional intervention among pregnant women in order to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Are comprehensive monitoring and nutritional intervention among pregnant women can improve maternal outcomes (maternal death, preterm labour, preeclampsia, intrauterine infection, and bleeding during pregnancy and delivery) compared to standard maternal health services? 2. Are comprehensive monitoring and nutritional intervention among pregnant women can improve neonatal outcomes (neonatal death, low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, and neonatal asphyxia) compared to standard maternal health services? Participants in the intervention group will receive: - Fetomaternal ultrasound examination each trimester - Complete laboratory examination for nutritional panel (complete blood count with reticulocyte profile and iron profile, vitamin D level, zinc level, fatty acid profile, electrophoresis for Thalassemia) as an addition to standard maternal routine laboratory examination - Supplements: multivitamin, minerals, vitamin D, fatty acid - Intervention regarding any abnormal results of nutritional panel - All standard maternal health services according to Indonesian Ministry of Health protocol Participants in the control group will receive: - All standard maternal health services according to Indonesian Ministry of Health protocol
Pre-eclampsia (PE) is one of the most frequent pregnancy complications and is one of the main causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality in its severe form.control of blood pressure is of crucial importance to avoid maternal and fetal complications.Therapeutic modalities that can target the underlying pathophysiological changes and reverse the endothelial dysfunction could help to ameliorate the systemic manifestations in patients with severe PE. Either Intravenous labetalol and nitroglycerine as well as sublingual nifedipine have been frequantly used for the management of acute severe hypertension in PE
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific, multisystem disorder affecting 3% to 8% of pregnancies and remains a significant cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 76,000 maternal deaths annually are attributed to preeclampsia, accounting for 16% of global maternal mortality, with the majority occurring in low- and middle-income countries
The goal of this prospective observational cohort study of pregnant people at-risk of preeclampsia receiving aspirin as part of clinical care or a planned randomized controlled trial of 81mg vs. 162mg of aspirin is to generate proteomic data to show a distinct maternal and fetal Extracellular Vesicle (EV) proteome profile with aspirin treatment, and develop and validate a multi-marker panel for the monitoring of placental function in people at-risk of Preeclampsia and in response to aspirin treatment. The primary research question is: 1. Does the maternal and fetal Positive for Placental Alkaline Phosphatase (PLAP+) Extracellular Vesicle (EV) proteome profile in the 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy differ between people who receive aspirin and develop (or not) preeclampsia? Participants will be asked to give blood samples up to four times during and at the end of their pregnancy.
Preeclampsia (PE) is an important pregnancy complication and cause of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. The underlying etiology and pathophysiology of preeclampsia is incompletely understood but it involves dysfunctional cytotrophoblastic invasion, placental ischemia, and release of inflammatory and endothelial mediators. Placenta dysfunction in PE is related to angiogenic balance. Currently, therapeutic options for the prevention and treatment of PE are limited. It is known that the risk of PE is reduced by low-dose aspirin. Therefore, the influence of salicylates on the development of PE seems to need to be investigated. This project plans to examine the preventive effects of food sources of salicylic acid and compare their effects with aspirin. Therefore, the aim of the present study is thus answer the following questions. whether the maternal dietary intake of salicylates is related to placental angiogenesis; 2. whether naturally occurring salicylates have the same effects on preeclampsia development and placental angiogenesis as aspirin. To answer these questions we plan to carry out a human study with pregnant women. Due to the above the planned research aims to determine the association between maternal dietary intake of salicylates and placental angiogenesis and the risk of preeclampsia development. Although PE remains an incurable disease, the results of this project will enable the development of dietary recommendations for the prevention and treatment of preeclampsia. Moreover, the results of this study may be useful in lowering the cost of maternal and fetal complications from preeclampsia and the cost of their hospitalization.
Preeclampsia (PE) is a major obstetric complication with short- and long-term consequences for the mother and the fetus. Early screening tools to reduce its mortality and morbidity, as well as to prevent the life-threatening consequences are needed. Thus, the detection of women at risk of suffering PE is key to apply preventive and treatment strategies. Recently, the maternal contribution to PE based on defective decidualization that prevents the establishment of a functional maternal-fetal interface has been evidenced. The main objective of this study is to identify molecular markers or aberrant maternal-fetal cell types that can be detected early in the development of the disease in chorionic villi collected during gestational weeks 9 to 14. Chorionic villi will be collected from women who have a recommendation for aneuploidy testing. The remaining fragment will be used for this study.
Previous studies demonstrated that Placental Growth Factor (PIGF) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) produced by trophoblast cells decreases during Preeclampsia, whereas soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), an antiangiogenic factor, increases. The ratio sFlt-1/PlGF has a higher positive predictive value than the isolated measurement. A ratio under 38 exclude risk of imminent preeclampsia and allows to outpatient follow-up with a negative predictive value of 99.3%. A ratio equal or higher than 38 permits to direct high-risk patients towards hospitalization with a positive predictive value of 36.7% of preeclampsia at 4 weeks. These findings suggest that the ratio can be used to select more appropriately women needing hospitalization for suspected preeclampsia. This is a single-center prospective and observational study conducted from the 1rst of October 2019 to the 27th of January 2021, including pregnant women suspected of preeclampsia, above 24 weeks of gestation. Values were measured using the Elecsys sFlt-1/PlGF immunoassay ratio. The aim of the study is to observe the clinical decision regarding hospitalization, intensive patient monitoring, corticosteroid administration, and labor induction before and after knowing the ratio value
Patients with severe preeclampsia or eclampsia suffer from pulmonary complications. Accurate assessment of patients with pulmonary involvement using lung ultrasound (LUS) and echocardiography could lead to earlier detection of pre eclampsia and eclampsia associated pulmonary oedema, ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) and other pulmonary complications. here is currently limited evidence regarding the features, severity, aetiology and history of pulmonary oedema in this group of patients Data from this prospective observational study will facilitate the early recognition of pre-eclamptic and eclamptic patients with pulmonary involvement to implement optimal triage and early therapeutic choices in a limited resource setting (diuretics, escalation to non invasive or invasive ventilation, referral to HDU (High dependency unit) or ICU, dialysis) and potentially reduce unfavorable outcomes.
Evaluation of the predictability of estimated levels of Serpin C, sFlt-1 and placental growth factor (PLGF) in blood samples obtained during the 1st trimester from normotensive pregnant women for identification of women liable to develop PE during the course of pregnancy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about in health conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The pathological significance of GPER in uterine artery dilation in preeclampsia - The Mechanism of GPER Hippo Pathway Regulating CBS/H2S in Human Uterine Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (hUASMC) This project intends to use GPER interfering RNA, YAP1 interfering RNA, in vivo perfusion experiments of human uterine artery tissue, and single cell patch clamp technology to study hypotheses under physiological/pathological pregnancy conditions at the tissue, cellular, and molecular levels, revealing a novel signal transduction pathway of estrogen stimulating vasodilation, providing new ideas for studying the mechanism of uterine artery blood flow regulation. This research result will provide new targets for intervention and treatment of diseases such as fetal intrauterine growth retardation and preeclampsia.
