Filter by:The aim of the study is to investigate the role of oxidative stress in female infertility and the relationship between the stress as it is illustrated by questionnaires, serum markers, follicular fluid markers, and ovarian response in assisted reproduction.
The First Hospital of China Medical University initiated a multi-center study on the reference range of echocardiography in Chinese Han Pregnancies to determine the reference range of echocardiography in the pregnant population and to promote the clinical application of echocardiography in the pregnant population, thereby offering the value of early evaluation and early diagnosis for cardiac structure and function in the pregnant population.
This study is being done to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a meal delivery intervention designed to improve diet quality and promote appropriate gestational weight gain among predominantly Black and low-income pregnant women with overweight or obesity. This will be done by 1) assessing the feasibility and acceptability of the meal delivery intervention; 2) investigating changes in patient-reported diet quality, barriers to healthy eating, and food security; and 3) exploring the preliminary impact of the meal delivery intervention on gestational weight gain and blood pressure and estimate the effect size of the intervention relative to a de-identified non-randomized control group that will be derived from de-identified hospital records.
Pregnancy is considered a cardiovascular (CV) stress test, and complicated pregnancies are associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life. Moreover, it is known that often the pregnancy induced CV adaptation does not resolve completely after a short postpartum (PP) period and it is not clear whether these induced changes will resolve over a longer period of time (i.e. in the upcoming months/years after delivery). Understanding the cardiac adaptation during pregnancy and the reversal process in the postpartum period, as well as the factors that influence this these processes, may provide us not only insight in this mechanism, but may help us in identifying factors that may be target points for modification.
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) escalate remarkably worldwide and obesity becomes an epidemic disease. This study is interested in how the model of Developmental Origin of Health and Disease (DOHaD) influence individual's health status as they reach young adulthood. Since the mothers from HAPO study have not been subjected to antenatal treatment on the various degree of maternal hyperglycaemia in pregnancy, this would be an unique cohort that allows determination of the effect of various degree of maternal hyperglycaemia below the level of overt DM, on children's cardiometabolic risk in Chinese population.
Double blind, placebo controlled, multicenter randomized trial in pregnant women in the U.S. (N=746) to test the central hypothesis that IV iron in pregnant women with moderate-to-severe IDA (Hb<10 g/dL and ferritin<30 ng/mL) at 13 - 30 weeks will be effective, safe and cost-effective in reducing severe maternal morbidity-as measured by peripartum blood transfusion-and will also improve offspring neurodevelopment.
The present project plans to detect pregnant pulses using this portable ANS (autonomic nervous system) Watch connected to a laptop. One hundred pregnant women and 100 non-pregnant women will be recruited.
The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University initiated a multi-center study on the reference range of tissue motion tracking of mitral annulus displacement in Chinese Han singleton pregnancies to determine the reference range of tissue motion annular displacement (TMAD) in the pregnant population and to promote the clinical application of TMAD in the pregnant population, thereby offering new insights into the early evaluation and early diagnosis for cardiac function in the pregnant population.
Advancements in prenatal genetic screening have significantly improved the identification of chromosomal abnormalities and heritable conditions during pregnancy, yet current standards for patient education in this domain are largely ineffective. The most effective approach to education about prenatal screening is one-on-one genetic counseling, but due to the limited number of counselors this is not feasible, especially in rural and frontier areas. The investigators will address this national problem using a novel education game that can more effectively address this gap in healthcare decision-making.
Background In the last 10 years, the rate of smoking in women of childbearing age has increased gradually. The smoking affects general anesthesia negatively. Can smoking also affect regional anesthesia in pregnant women? Our aim in this study is to investigate the effects of smoking on spinal anesthesia applied for C/S in pregnant women. Methods After approval of the institution's ethics committee, 100 patients will divided in two groups as pregnant women who did not smoke during pregnancy and pregnant women who smoked 5 or more cigarettes in a day. The local anesthetic, which dose will be adjusted according to height and weight, and 20 µg fentanyl will administered intrathecally to both groups. Results on the effectiveness of spinal anesthesia will monitored. Results The data of 100 parturients will investigated. The onset time of sensory and motor block, the duration of motor and sensory block, APGAR and VAS scores will be monitored. In addition, C/S indications, side effects, patient satisfaction, additional medication need and, spinal anesthesia preferences will be monitored. Conclusions Smoking affects many systems. According to the onset of sensory block, duration of sensory and motor block and, VAS scores, which determine the effectiveness of spinal anesthesia, it will be evaluated whether smoking also affects spinal anesthesia in pregnant women.
