Black adolescents who are pregnant represent a high-risk and understudied perinatal population in health research. Adolescent pregnancy (<20 years) is disproportionately prevalent among Blacks compared with Whites and is a prominent risk factor for obesity. Fortunately, metabolic consequences of increasing physical activity coupled with minimal sedentary time can mitigate biological imperils and behavioral interventions targeting perinatal populations have demonstrated efficacy for this approach. Intervention studies to promote physical activity and reduce sedentarism among Black, perinatal adolescents in disadvantaged, rural settings may be a promising strategy to prevent obesity and reduce disparities. In the proposed study, investigators will assess the feasibility and acceptability of #BabyLetsMove, a mobile health intervention targeting three behavioral goals: (1) limit TV time to less than 2 hours a day (sedentary behavior); (2) take 10,000 steps or more per day (physical activity); and (3) do 20 minutes or more of structured activity like prenatal yoga or dance videos per day (exercise). In the #BabyLetsMove feasibility trial investigators aim to conduct a single-arm, 4-week pilot with 20 Black adolescents (15- to 19-years) enrolled in Mississippi's Supplemental Nutritional Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) to test the intervention's feasibility and acceptability. Participants will receive one text message per day for 4-weeks targeting behavior change strategies and two health coaching sessions via mobile phone; an introduction session in week one and a problem-solving session in week three. Investigators will also use qualitative interviewing with additional adolescents (n=20) to solicit user feedback regarding the acceptability of intervention content and materials. Finally, in preparation for a pilot study using an effectiveness-implementation hybrid study design, investigators will conduct a pre-implementation evaluation using quantitative surveying (n=6 surveys) with WIC providers (n=60) to better under the culture and climate of WIC. Investigators hypothesize the #BabyLetsMove intervention will be acceptable to adolescents and a future pilot randomized controlled trial will be feasible. Investigators also anticipate identifying modifiable barriers and facilitators to implementing the intervention through WIC, which will help to design an implementation strategy with a high likelihood for uptake by WIC.
This study investigated the maternal and fetal effects during performance of CSEA in the left lateral decubitus and sitting positions in obese pregnant women undergoing elective cesarean section.
This is a non-clinical lay user study using stored clinical samples from the SPD BioBank. Volunteers recruited into the study and meeting the criteria will test a randomised pregnant or not pregnant urine sample sourced from SPD's biobank with a new home pregnancy test. Volunteers will be required to follow the product instructions for use (IFU). The order of testing will be randomised prior to execution of the protocol, and each urine sample will only be identifiable by a unique reference number. An independent study technician not involved in study conduct will be responsible for blinding the samples.
Spinal anaesthesia for elective caesarean section is associated with maternal hypotension, secondary to alteration of sympathetic tone and hypovolemia, in up to 70% of cases. Our objective, in this prospective single-centre observational study, was to assess the ability of change in systolic ejection volume after 45° passive leg raising to predict hypotension after spinal anaesthesia. Systolic ejection volum was monitored with non-invasive Clearsight Device just before elective caesarean section in third trimester pregnant women.
Adverse events are considered to increase in pregnancies extending beyond 39 weeks. For multiparous patients, especially those with a favourable cervix, it is perhaps easy to justify an elective induction at 39 weeks given the low risk of caesarean section. However, for nulliparous patients the current evidence, derived mainly from retrospective observational studies, does not allow a clear recommendation with the exception perhaps of the recent A Randomized Trial of Induction Versus Expectant Management (ARRIVE) trial. Given the reported increased risks of adverse events in pregnancies extending beyond 39 weeks it has been hypothesized that a policy of planned elective induction at 39 weeks could improve outcomes for the infant and the mother. There is a trend towards an increased rate of elective labour induction in pregnancies at 39 weeks, indicating that practitioners are more commonly using elective induction at this gestational age. The practice in India varies slightly from institute to institute. The investigator intend to study the maternal and perinatal outcome, after elective induction of labour, at thirty nine weeks and zero days upto thirty nine and six days, amongst nulliparous singleton pregnancies followed up for the duration of their hospital stay, in Jubilee Mission Medical College and Research Institute (JMMC and RI).
Thrombosis of the external hemorrhoids (TEH) is one of the most frequent complain during pregnancy, particularly during the third trimester. The paucity of the medical literature on this topic has recently been underlined in the European guidelines for hemorrhoid treatment . The aim of this prospective study is to compare the efficacy and safety of conservative versus surgical treatment of TEH in pregnant women
Retrospective comparative study comparing group 1 (TSH level 0.1-1.99 mIU/L) and group 2 (TSH level 2.0-4 mIU/L). Each group was further subdivided into primigravidae and multipara. 1527 pregnant women were included.
Childbirth is one of the most painful experiences for a woman. Labor and period of pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of psychiatric disorders for a woman. The demands of pregnancy and childbirth make patients vulnerable to psychiatric disorders such as postpartum depression (PPD), anxiety, and stress disorders. Women with postpartum psychiatric disorders have high mortality rates. The most common postpartum psychiatric disorder is PPD. PPD occurs any time in pregnancy or in the first four weeks after delivery. It may lead to complications such as emotional lability in the mother. This situation may also effect the child.
MUMMIEBODIES is a research study when women with eating disorders encounter pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. These are some condensed months that represent major challenges for this group. There are both a scientific and clinical basis for the mother's mental health to influence care and interaction with the child. In the case of eating disorders, there is also a risk of harmful consequences for the fetus as well as for more complicated pregnancies and births. This is a very important field of knowledge, but also a field about which there is far too little scientific knowledge. There is too little scientific knowledge about how women with eating disorders physically and mentally relate to their bodies and food during and after pregnancy. There is a great need for research that promotes expertise in how to help and meet women with eating disorders in these important phases of life. The aim of the study is to bring out the users' experiences. The investigators interview face-to-face pregnant women and mothers with eating disorders about their subjective experiences both during pregnancy and during childbirth. Recruitment of participants will be via health stations. The investigators will identify the course, experiences and solutions when women with eating disorders encounter pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. The investigators focus on three themes: 1) experience of course and change, 2) experience of emotional, cognitive and relational core experiences, and 3) women's own perceptions of what is the best help. The three themes have in common that they are fundamental for later development of help for this vulnerable group. The investigators have a clear idea that some of the best preventive work can be done before life really starts.
