Filter by:To determine if mechanical labour induction can offer a safer and effective alternative to prostaglandins to women with previous caesarean section attempting trial of labour after caesarean (TOLAC).
The main goal is to establish echocardiographic reference values of the right heart for pregnant women, assuming they differ significantly from those of non pregnant women of same age. Therefore the investigators will use existing reference values published by American society of echocardiography and European Association of Echocardiography. As side arms the investigators want to explore, whether illness of either fetus or mother is connected with right heart affection.
The purpose of the study is to develop a detailed pregnancy registry of patients with Multiple Sclerosis in the New England states. Women with a diagnosis of MS that are either pregnant or actively planning to become pregnant are eligible to participate. The study will solely take place through phone interviews. One of the study coordinator at the Partners MS Center will contact the participant for an intake phone interview where general information about the individual, their pregnancy and their MS will be collected. Thereafter the coordinator will contact the participant every 3 months for 20 minutes follow up interviews. After birth, the coordinator will collect information on the growth and development of the participant's baby. Pediatric interviews will be conducted at 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36 months. Information from the participant's neurologist and obstetrician, as well as information from the baby's pediatrician, will be made available to the study staff at regular intervals throughout the duration of the study. Through this study, the investigators hope to learn more about the effects of MS on pregnancy and pediatric development, and about the effects of pregnancy on the course of MS.
A feasibility study into the exploration of possible mechanisms underlying inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) syndrome in pregnancy.
This multi-site registry, centered at Duke University, will enroll pregnant women with autoimmune and rheumatologic diseases. The main goal of MADRA is to identify ways to improve the health of women with rheumatic diseases and their babies during pregnancy. Prior studies demonstrate the importance of increase inflammation prior to and during pregnancy on these outcomes. The future research will seek to better define these risk factors and to identify ways to may improve them.
Our hypothesis is that aggressive preconception weight loss in obese women will improve the metabolic health of the mother and the intrauterine environment. An optimized developmental environment will normalize fetal growth and improve clinical fetal and infant outcomes, and theoretically reduce future susceptibility to obesity and cardiometabolic disease.
To assess health and lifestyle behavior of pregnant women in Baton Rouge including women receiving traditional obstetrical prenatal care and delivering in a hospital and those receiving prenatal care from a midwife and delivering at the birth center.
This team has shown that chamas can be tailored to increase the uptake of health services in pregnancy and infancy, sustain themselves beyond the period of funding and become integrated within a county's health strategy. However, further investment is warranted to validate this intervention in a new region to ensure the positive effects on MNCH are a result of chamas and can be replicated. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that chamas are an effective service-delivery platform for improving women's and children's health and well-being in western Kenya.
This study will take advantage of the open source framework of ResearchKit developed by Apple to bring research directly to participants. Using the ResearchKit platform as well as a stand alone app available for Android and HTML, it makes it easier to enroll large numbers of participants and carry out real-world health research to answer questions important to a broad population.
