Filter by:Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that people need to obtain in their diets. Amino acids are the building blocks for protein, which is required to form tissues in the body. It is well known that pregnant women require more protein in their diets, but the exact amount for each amino acid is undetermined. To find out how much of phenylalanine pregnant women require, the investigators plan to study pregnant women in early and late gestation with a modern minimally invasive technique.
The aim of this study is to assess the ability of the Triton Device to measure blood loss among women undergoing elective and non-elective cesarean delivery. This patient population often experiences significant blood loss during surgery, and measurements of surgical blood loss are often inaccurate.
The purpose of this study is to offer pre-natal Myelomeningocele (MMC) repair surgery to pregnant women with one of the former surgery exclusion factors - A BMI of 35-40 kg/m2 - Diabetes; patients will require good glycemic control - History a previous preterm birth, as long as it was followed by a full term birth - Structural abnormality in the fetus; abnormality must be minor, not increasing the risk of prematurity. For example cleft lip and palate, minor ventricular septal defect, pyelectasis. - Maternal Rh alloimmunization. Must have a low level of anti-red blood cell antibody that is not associated with fetal disease, specifically anti-E < 1:4 or anti-M. Or alloimmunization with negative fetal red blood cell antigen status determined by amniocentesis. We will be extending the Management of Myelomeningocele Study (MOMs) criteria by including these factors. Prenatal clinical and outcome information will be collected; safety and efficacy will be evaluated
Background: Women have many physical and emotional experiences and changes in behavior when they are pregnant. Researchers want to learn more about what happens to pregnant women. These things can range from morning sickness and sleep changes, to health problems and mood changes. They hope to use this data to improve the health of pregnant women and their babies. Objectives: To learn what happens to women physically and emotionally during pregnancy and after they give birth. To understand problems some pregnant women have related to a disability or chronic health problem. Eligibility: Pregnant women ages 18 70 Design: Participants will register themselves online. They will use the PregSource website or app. They will complete an online consent form. Participants will create an account profile. They will answer questions about their pre-pregnancy health and current pregnancy. Participants will complete PregSource questionnaires online or by mobile app. Participants can enter data in a set of health trackers. These are online diaries that capture daily or weekly data. This can be about the participant s weight, nausea symptoms, mood, and sleep. Once a month, each participant will be notified by email, text, or app. This will have a link to a new questionnaire. That will be relevant to her current week of pregnancy. Participants may do online games. These show how memory and other skills change over time. If a participant does not complete her monthly questions, she will get a reminder by email or text. Participants with special conditions or complications may be asked to complete additional questionnaires.
The investigators have designed a single site, Phase IV open label, prospective observational clinical trial to compare the effect of immediate postpartum Nexplanon placement (IPP) versus standard postpartum contraceptive care (control) on consistent contraceptive use and rapid repeat pregnancy at 12 months postpartum in 200 opioid dependent (OD) women.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a handheld ultrasound device helps in the placement of labor epidurals by studying the accuracy of the Accuro Handheld Ultrasound device compared to a standard ultrasound machine.
Pregnant patients mallampati class scores will be examined throughout pregnancy
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) during pregnancy is a modifiable risk factor for poor maternal and fetal outcomes. The investigators propose a prospective observational study to assess the utility of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) administration (intervention) during pregnancy to reduce maternal and fetal morbidity. Secondarily, we will also perform a cohort study to assess the incidence of antenatal sleep-disordered breathing as measured by ambulatory sleep monitoring applied in the hospital setting.
To assess prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea during pregnancy and its impact on prgnancy course and materno foetal wellbeing.
The purpose of the study is to test whether nutritional supplementation during pregnancy is associated with 1) improved maternal health during pregnancy; 2) improved infant birth and neurodevelopmental outcomes, and 3) whether the association between nutritional supplementation during pregnancy and infant outcomes is partially mediated by reductions in maternal perceived stress and stress reactivity during pregnancy.
