Filter by:Thyroid diseases are pathologies that frequently affect pregnant women causing serious complications. This current research aims to find out whether the expression of TSHβX1 splice variant and D2 Thr92Ala polymorphism in the DIO2 gene are associated with thyroid disease in Mexican pregnant women.
The overarching goal of this project is to compare the microbiome profiles of healthy pregnant women, both before and after the introduction of a probiotic supplement into the maternal diet. Specifically, the investigators are performing a pilot randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial, comparing the microbiome profiles of 40 healthy pregnant women randomized to receive an oral probiotic containing a mixture of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species (20 mothers) versus an oral placebo (20 mothers) during the first/second trimester of pregnancy. For each mother, the investigators will collect biospecimens from the vagina, rectum, and urine, both before intervention, and 4-6 weeks after intervention. These biospecimens will be analyzed to obtain their microbiome profiles using next-generation sequencing. The primary outcome of interest is the vaginal microbiome, with secondary outcomes including the microbiomes of the rectum and urine. Additionally, the investigators will collect clinical data from the mother's and infant's medical records to correlate our findings with pregnancy and postnatal outcomes.
Given that morbid obesity has been strongly associated with obstetric, neonatal and anesthetic complications, and that scarce reports have evaluated anesthetic and obstetric outcomes after cesarean delivery in morbidly obese patients; This study retrospectively analyzed anesthetic, obstetric and neonatal outcomes in morbidly obese pregnant patients who underwent cesarean delivery at Augusta University Medical Center, during a 2-year period (2015-2016).
To prospectively collect whole blood specimens and clinical data from pregnant women scheduled for an invasive prenatal diagnostic procedure ("invasive procedure"). Specimens will be used for future testing with an investigational NIPT.
To compare Factor XII levels in gestational diabetic and healthy pregnancies.
The investigators propose this study to test the hypotheses that inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter can predict hypotension after labor analgesia (epidural, combined spinal-epidural) and neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean section (epidural, combined spinal-epidural and spinal block) in full-term pregnant patients.
This study seeks to determine if a relationship exists between gastric antrum cross-sectional area measured using ultrasound and BMI in term pregnant women (>37 weeks gestation).
Investigators conducted a pilot feasibility and acceptability randomized controlled trial of a remotely delivered behavioral health coaching program in pregnancy and postpartum.
Comparison of amniotic fluid index between before and after maternal position change in Upright and left lateral decubitus maternal position
During early postpartum period, mother-infant proximity is important for breastfeeding success. Rooming-in and separate care are both traditional practices. Rooming-in involves keeping the mother and the baby together in the same room after birth during hospitalization, whereas separate care keeps the baby in the hospital baby room. Shared decision making with decision aid (DA) is a way to provide information to pregnant women and to involve them in making decisions about their strategy on baby care. We have developed a DA to be administered during consultation for pregnant women, and conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the benefit of DA on decision making. The measurements include a battery of interview-based questionnaires and evaluations of decision regret. We expect the DA would benefit the intervention group in the aspects of knowledge and communication in choosing mother-baby care options.
