Filter by:The aim of the study is to validate in a prospective fashion the value of the Congo-Red Dot (CRD) test for diagnosis of preeclampsia. The working hypothesis is that in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia, will display urine congophilia and have a positive CRD test.
This study is testing the hypothesis of whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy improves placental histopathology and secretory function. The main aims of the study are to identify shared mechanisms between obstructive sleep apnea and preeclampsia, both common highly morbid conditions.
Eclampsia is an obstetric emergency capable of prophylaxis. To prevent and control seizures, there is no doubt that the magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is the ideal drug. However, there are still questions regarding its use and dose. The scheme and the optimal time of administration remain to be elucidated. The objective of this trial is to compare the effectiveness and safety of intravenous magnesium sulfate in the maintenance phase 1g / h versus 2 g / h to prevent eclampsia in pregnant and postpartum women with severe preeclampsia (pure or superimposed).
Pregnancy elicits adaptive changes in uteroplacental blood flow, which are altered at high altitude and may contribute to the observed 3-fold increase in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preeclampsia (PreE). The investigators propose to collect myometrial, cord blood, and placental tissue samples from women at high altitude (Summit County) and low altitude (Denver) in Colorado in order to determine if residence at altitude during pregnancy changes the vasoreactivity of myometrial arteries (MA). If altered MA vasoreactivity is found, further studies may be able to link these changes to the increased rates of PreE and IUGR at altitude and contribute to the understanding of these two disorders.
Refine content and delivery of the mHealth delivered lifestyle intervention program through iterative testing with small groups of users who provide feedback through on-line asynchronous focus groups.
A cross sectional study design will evaluate the diagnostic value of the CRD test to the pregnant women attending the Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Hospital Materno-Infantil Inguarán, tertiary level facilities in Bangladesh and Mexico City.
A population-based prospective cohort design will evaluate the progression of urine congophilia in pregnancy using the Congo Red Dot test by following patients longitudinally across gestation in Bangladesh and Mexico City.
Preeclampsia may have several causes leading to different characteristics of the pathology. Differentiation between the "type of preeclampsia" would help to treat patients more accurately. This project aims to identify early markers that are specific to each type of preeclampsia (early or late, with or without growth restriction). Through a case-control study, many data will be collected prospectively (serum markers, ultrasonographic markers, maternal factors) among nulliparous women with no sign of preeclampsia (as soon as the first trimester) and nulliparous women with preeclampsia (at diagnosis).
To evaluate the feasibility of screening for preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction between 11-13+6 weeks' gestation utilizing the combination of uterine artery doppler, maternal blood pressure, maternal characteristics, placental volume, and maternal serum factors, including PAPPA-A, PLGF, AFP and free Beta HCG. This is a non interventional study.
Randomized double-blind controled clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of L-arginine to prevent preeclampsia. applied to pregnant women with risk factors for preeclampsia. the main result was the development of preeclampsia as well as side effects to taking l arginine besides perinatal outcomes
