Filter by:The investigators objectives is to assess the effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - recent traumatic episode (EMDR-RTE) as a preventive intervention for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms after perinatal loss. The hypothesis is that EMDR-RTE treatment may prevent post-traumatic and depressive symptoms in women who suffered perinatal loss.
The goal of this mixed-methods single-arm study is to measure the feasibility of massage as an adjunct approach to care for pregnant women who have experienced a stillbirth. In order to provide pilot data, this intervention study will: 1. Determine the feasibility and acceptability of the massage intervention and optimize the timing and outcome measures, 2. Provide data for future use in an individual participant data systematic review, and 3. Evaluate experiences of women undertaking the intervention Participants will [ If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare [insert groups] to see if [insert effects].
When time allows, administration of mifepristone prior to second trimester induction of labor decreases total labor time. However, in the setting of many pregnancy complications, decreasing time from diagnosis of nonviable pregnancy to delivery is of utmost importance to decrease risk of maternal complications. Previous data has shown that total abortion time is longer in the group receiving mifepristone owing to the delay between mifepristone administration and initiation of misoprostol induction of labor. Thus, the investigators aim to investigate whether simultaneous mifepristone and misoprostol has benefits over misoprostol alone when labor induction of a nonviable second trimester cannot be delayed.
Desmoid tumors (DT) are rare disease of intermediate malignancy with variable and often unpredictable clinical course. There is a growing interest in defining potential risk of recurrence or progression during or after pregnancy and in identifying potential obstetrical risks and infertility rate of desmoid patients. Aim of the study: - to define the impact of pregnancy on diagnosis, progression and recurrence of DT; - to define the risks related to DT of obstetrical risks and decisions to interrupt or avoid pregnancy after the diagnosis of DT.
This study aims to investigate the microbiome of women with previously proven fertility who plan to become pregnant.
This study is being conducted to investigate how a mother's nutritional status and her gut microbiome during pregnancy contribute to the birth outcomes and health of her baby. The gut microbiome is the totality of microorganisms (e.g. bacteria, viruses, fungi) living in the gastrointestinal tract. This study will focus on pregnant women, 24 years and younger living in the Toronto and greater Toronto area. The focus is on younger women due to their vulnerability to undernutrition. Pregnant participants, and upon delivery, their newborns will be followed throughout pregnancy and for a year afterwards. Throughout this period, the investigators will collect stool samples, rectal swabs, blood samples, health assessments, nutritional and dietary assessments and birth/ labour details. The goal is to define the relationship between a mother's nutritional status and her microbiome dynamics during pregnancy and how they contribute to the birth outcomes and growth of her newborn. With the hypothesis that alterations of the microbiota in the maternal gut (dysbiosis) exacerbated by nutritional status or pathogen exposure during pregnancy, impacts weight gain because of impaired nutrient absorption, leading to corresponding negative birth outcomes.
Each year world-wide, 2.5 million fetuses die unexpectedly in the last half of pregnancy, 25,000 in the United States, making fetal demise ten-times more common than Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. This study will apply a novel type of non-invasive monitoring, called fetal magnetocardiography (fMCG) used thus far to successfully evaluate fetal arrhythmias, in order to discover potential hidden electrophysiologic abnormalities that could lead to fetal demise in five high-risk pregnancy conditions associated with fetal demise.
Our aim is to access whether we can achieve equivalent pregnancy rates by the addition of six doses of luteal support with recLH after agonist triggering for IVF cycles in the absence of OHSS.
