Filter by:The purpose of the overall study is to develop improved methods for recovery and analysis of fetal cells from the mother's blood in order to develop clinically useful forms of cell-based, diagnostic, noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Luna genetics will obtain and analyze research blood samples from healthy pregnant women. A phlebotomist will be sent to any location in the United States to collect the blood samples. Sample identifiers will be removed as the first step so that laboratory personnel will not see or have access to identifiers.
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to establish the effectiveness of a culturally targeted and individually tailored behavioral intervention to promote maternal glucose metabolism in African American women.
When a patient presents with a fetus in PS after 36+0SA, after acceptance of participation in the study, pelvimetry with evaluation of the height of the fetal presentation by EOS® system in the upright and sitting position will be performed. CT pelvimetry will not be performed. The patient may then be offered an attempt at VME, with clear, fair and appropriate information, after being informed of the data from the right standing EOS® pelvimetry (report and images). VME will be performed according to the recommendations and practice of the department. In the event of failure with a fetus that remains in PS, the choice of delivery route will be decided in consultation with the patient after clear, fair and appropriate information. If the patient wishes to have a vaginal delivery, the pregnancy will be continued without intervention until spontaneous labour or induction in case of indication (premature rupture of membranes (PMR), over term, or intercurrent maternal or fetal pathology). The modalities of the delivery route and/or a possible induction will be discussed between the obstetric team and the patient. If the patient wishes a caesarean delivery in case of persistent PS, the delivery will be scheduled after 39+0SA or earlier if indicated (RPM, intercurrent maternal or fetal pathology). In the case of a successful VME with a fetus that remains in cephalic presentation until labour, management will follow current recommendations. The characteristics of the dimensions and angles of the obstetric pelvis and the height of the fetal presentation in the standing and sitting positions, the performance and success of MEC, the choice of delivery route, and the final delivery route will be recorded.
This study will develop and test an intervention, called the Well-Mama intervention, which includes the use of a checklist by Community Doula Navigators to support pregnant women. Participants will be randomized to either receive standard perinatal care or standard perinatal care plus the Well-Mama intervention.
To implement an effective but low-cost strategy to decrease SCD maternal and perinatal mortality in Ghana. The objectives are to 1) assess the impact of a multidisciplinary SCD-obstetric team for decreasing mortality across three hospital sites in Ghana. 2) assess the implementation fidelity for 2a) preventing and 2b) treating acute chest syndrome in pregnant women with SCD admitted to the hospital. 3) standardize an ultrasound protocol for the prospective monitoring of fetal growth among pregnant women with SCD.
The proposed study seeks to elucidate the mechanisms underlying Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy in pregnancy to improve understanding of how and why this treatment modality enhances well-being, which can then be leveraged to optimize treatment for psychological distress emerging during this vulnerable period.
This study will be evaluate the clinical efficacy of using graduated compression hosiery for venospecific symptoms, leg edema, and quality of life (QoL) in pregnant women with varicose veins (VV's).
The PLAN-V Study is an Ontario-based prospective, longitudinal study that will consist of extensive biosampling and detailed data collection from pregnant women/individuals, who have received the COVID-19 vaccine during their pregnancy, and their infants across the antenatal, delivery and postpartum periods.
This study seek to understand the motivations and contextual influences that can induce and sustain behaviour change to inform future interventions for women before, during and after pregnancy, through a qualitative interview-based assessment of 60 participants. As digital health intervention in pregnant women has been shown to be cost-effective and scalable, the current study also aims to understand women's usage of technology throughout the process of trying to conceive, being pregnant and being a new mother within the local Singapore context.
New moms can be at risk for perinatal depression (PND). The New Moms Mood Tracking and Wellbeing study is investigating mood changes, risk factors for depression and anxiety and treatment response around the time of delivery. Participants will be asked to complete three sets of online surveys between week 28 gestation and week 20 after delivery, in addition to downloading an app to collect data using their smartphone sensors and brief symptom surveys every other week. Women with elevated symptoms can participate in treatment. Women will be randomized to one of two conditions - Perinatal Psychiatric Care or Screening and Treatment for Anxiety and Depression (STAND). In Perinatal Psychiatric Care, participants will receive appointments with psychiatry clinicians. In STAND, participants will be further allocated to Online therapy with Coaching or Clinical Care, which includes both psychotherapy and psychiatry appointments. Treatment can last up to 6 months and there will be treatment related assessments for the duration of the 6 months, in addition to brief symptom surveys on a regular basis. Therefore, participation can last between 24 and 52 weeks, as both time of delivery and treatment enrollment timepoint cannot be scheduled in advance.
