Filter by:This is a sub-study of NIDA CTN Protocol 0080: Medication Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder in Expectant Mothers (MOMs; Unique protocol ID: 2019-0429-1). Caretakers of the infants delivered by MOMs participants will be offered the opportunity to enroll in this sub-study, which is designed to evaluate the impact of extended-release buprenorphine (BUP-XR), relative to sublingual buprenorphine (BUP-SL), on infant neurodevelopment. The additional data collected in this sub-study will be combined with data from the main MOMs trial.
The Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare inflammatory large vessel arteritis which often occurs women in Aisa, one of which is China. The rare cases restricted the development of intervention strategy, especially in female patients who plan to be pregnant. So investigators try to recruit as many TA participants as possible to build a TA cohort so that investigators could manage patients much more professionally and standardized and explore the better interventional strategy for a better outcome as well, with full use of blood and vascular tissues.
In Helsinki Birth Cohort 2018-2022 a large, longitudinal and well-phenotyped birth cohort of infants and their parents will be established. Mothers, fathers/spouses and their children in Helsinki and Uusimaa Hospital District are recruited in the study and newborn composition of the children born in Helsinki Women's Hospital will be measured. Data on maternal and paternal diet quality, physical activity and depression during and after pregnancy will be collected and data from the hospital and national registers will be collected. Health of offspring and parents will be followed during their later life.
Placenta will be collected and from these, mitochondrial will be harvested. Mitochondria will be used in mitochondrial augmentation therapy.

This study determined the effects of different iodine intake on the maternal and infant health and provide evidence for studying the RNI and UL of iodine in pregnant women. 1. The study of effect on mothers and their infants of the lack of iodine at different gestation in adequate iodine area. The purpose of this study was to detect the maternal thyroid function, growth and neuropsychological development of infants in different pregnancy women with diverse iodine intake levels, and to make a clear evaluation for the influence of iodine deficiency during different pregnancy by following up iodine suitable early pregnancy women and mild iodine deficient three pregnancy women as well as their infants. 2. The study of recommended iodine intake (RNI) for healthy pregnant women in three pregnancy. Different pregnancy women with different iodine intake levels were recruited and carried out iodine balance experiment in the case of not interfering with their diet. In addition, the iodine intake of the pregnant women when they reached "zero iodine balance" was calculated, that was EAR of iodine in pregnant women. In conclusion, the iodine balance experiment in pregnant women at different pregnancy improved the sample collection methods and evaluation criteria and was more scientific and reasonable than the classic iodine balance experiment. 3. The study of effect of different levels of high iodine exposure on pregnant women, delivery women and their infants. In this study, we made a prospective study of the early pregnancy women and their infants exposed to different high iodine levels in high water iodine areas. At first we defined the effects of long-term iodine excess exposure on the health of the mother and the infants by combining with the reference index of the normal value of the thyroid function in different maternal and postpartum periods, the level of growth and development of the offspring and the assessment of the level of neuropsychological development. Furthermore the harmful effects of different high levels of iodine exposure on pregnant women was synthetically analyzed. This study obtained the safe intake level of iodine for pregnant women and provided scientific basis for the formulation of iodine UL in pregnant women in China.
Maintaining a physically active lifestyle is associated with many health benefits, including lower risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, some type of cancer, and depression . Pregnant, healthy women are recommended to do 30 minutes or more of light to moderate exercise a day, although most women in the Western world do not follow current recommendations and decrease their exercise level. Benefits of exercise during pregnancy are several, including a protective effect against the development of gestational diabetes mellitus, reduced pregnancy related low back pain, and risk of caesarean delivery. On the contrary, a recent review concludes that sedentary behaviors are associated with higher levels of C Reactive Protein and LDL Cholesterol, a larger newborn abdominal circumference, and macrosomia. Previous studies show that exercise during pregnancy is associated with improvements in psychological well-being among previously sedentary women. Only a few RCT's have studied resistance exercise during pregnancy. These studies have found reduced fatigue and reduced need of insulin among women with gestational diabetes mellitus who did resistance exercise, with no adverse effects on fetus or the pregnant woman. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of regular light -to-moderate resistance exercise among sedentary pregnant woman, with regard to fatigue, health related quality of life, pain location and intensity, body weight gain, blood pressure, and childbirth outcomes.
The first objective to determinate the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction in pregnant women and in the first year postpartum. The second objective is to assess the anatomical (both clinical and ultrasound), demographic and obstetric variables in symptomatic women and their association with pelvic floor dysfunction, sexual function and Body Image. This is a single center prospective cohort study. Women will be asked to fill out a questionnaire at the time of their 1st and 3rd trimester scan, at the postpartum checkup and 12 months postpartum. Furthermore, they will undergo a pelvic floor ultrasound at the time of their first and third trimester scan. The presence of pelvic floor dysfunctions will be recorded through validated self-administered questionnaires with five domains: Wexner questionnaire for anal incontinence, PAC-SYM for constipation, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form for urinary incontinence, the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory for pelvic organ prolapse, POP/UI Sexual Questionnaire - IUGA revised for sexual function. The body image perception will be assessed using the Dutch-validated version of the self-administered Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire. The anatomy of the pelvic floor will be objectively assessed off line on 3D/4D transperineal ultrasound volumes and POP-Q examination. The demographic variables and information about the pregnancy and the delivery will be obtained from the medical records.
The primary purpose of this observational study is to demonstrate the feasibility of an automated point-of-care urine diagnostic device in determining the pregnancy status of patients through urine samples collected from patients at Northwestern University. Our hypothesis is that this automated point-of-care urine diagnostic device will be able to accurately determine a patient's pregnancy status at least 95% of the time.
