Filter by:Female volunteers, wishing to become pregnant will be offered the use of Clearblue ovulation prediction products to help identify their most fertile time and aid conception. Volunteers will provide SPD with a daily urine sample throughout the study period, which will be used for the development and validation of SPD products related to pregnancy and fertility.
The aim of this study is to identify evaluate the effectiveness of stretching exercises of Hatha Yoga method in pregnant women with back pain and posterior pelvic City Paulínia. -There will be a randomized clinical trial with 60 pregnant women with these symptoms. They will be randomly divided into 2 groups. The group A will perform the exercises of Hatha Yoga for ten weeks, once a week group B postural follow the guidelines recommended for the treatment of these pains, for ten weeks. Will be used as a technique for evaluating the Visual Analogue Scale to measure pain intensity and confirmation tests of the lumbar and posterior pelvic pain in order to differentiate them. A descriptive statistical analysis of univariate and bivariate distributions will be made through frequency and graphical representation. The association between the variables will be tested by statistical tests: [chi-square (X ²)], Fisher's exact test, Student's t test or Mann-Whitney, [Student's t test to compare means], ANOVA for the analysis of effects between the groups. [The significance level is predetermined to 5%]. The data will be analyzed in EPI-INFO 2000. SAS 9.0 and from the database created .
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in the treatment of patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). In the randomised (double-blind, placebo-controlled) study 20 pregnant women with ICP received (random allocation of) either 450 mg/day UDCA or placebo for 14 days during the third trimester of pregnancy. The severity of pruritus was registered. Itching scores and serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, total bile acids, estradiol, progesterone, prolactin, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen D-dimers (FIDD) and platelet count were assessed before the treatment and weekly thereafter. Data on pregnancy and delivery outcome was recorded and analysed.
The objectives of the present trial are to test the following three hypotheses in anovulatory women with PCOS: 1. Acupuncture protocol 1 plus CC (Arm A) is more likely to result in live birth than acupuncture protocol 2 combined with CC (Arm B), 2. Acupuncture protocol 2 plus CC (Arm B) is more likely to result in live birth than acupuncture protocol 1 plus placebo (Arm C), 3. Acupuncture protocol 1 plus placebo (Arm C) is more likely to result in live birth than acupuncture protocol 2 plus placebo (Arm D).
The aim is to investigate whether the implementation of a web-based support to women with type 1 diabetes during pregnancy and early motherhood can improve well-being and self management of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is associated with increased medical risks and increased psychosocial pressure in relation to childbearing. There is need for extended support from both health care professionals and peers. Web-based interventions can improve personal capacity and self-management in people with long- term illnesses but are not evaluated in childbearing women with type 1 diabetes. A web site prototype for full-size browsers and mobile devices has been developed through a participatory design by multidisciplinary researchers, health care professionals, experienced mothers with type 1 diabetes and web designers. In a randomised control study the developed web site offering information, communication with health care professionals, person-centred self-care diaries and online social community of included women, is provided to the intervention group in early pregnancy at admission to specialised antenatal clinics at six hospitals in Sweden. A control group will receive standard care (usual care). Total n = 160. Primary outcomes are Well-Being Questionnaire and Diabetes Empowerment Scale. The intervention offers proactive solutions for strengthening patients' decision making of diabetes in daily life during pregnancy and early motherhood, and is expected to increase their wellbeing, personal capacity and knowledge of diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the POWER Through Choices (PTC) curriculum in increasing contraceptive use and delaying sexual initiation among youth living in group foster care homes.
Solid food or fluid residue in the stomach is always a major concern when patients need medical procedures under sedation or general anesthesia, due to the high risk of pulmonary aspiration of the stomach contents. This is especially important in emergency procedures, when a fasting period is not observed. The aspiration of the stomach contents into one's lungs can lead to serious complications (such as severe respiratory failure). Information from a bedside ultrasound assessment of the stomach may be a very useful tool to decide whether or not it's safe to proceed, cancel or delay a surgical procedure.
The investigators hope to learn whether treatment with medical nutrition therapy (MNT) for pregnant women with prediabetes decreases the rate and severity of impaired glucose tolerance later in pregnancy and improves perinatal outcomes. Given the rising rates of obesity and diabetes in this country even among young women and the adverse affects of diabetes of pregnant women and their infants, the investigators feel that it is important to not only identify women at high risk for diabetes early in pregnancy but determine the appropriate management strategy
Caesarean delivery under general anaesthesia (GA) carries nowadays still 25% risk of insufficient depth of anaesthesia in a time before the fetus delivery. The reason is the lack of opioid administration. Opioids easily cross placental barrier and negatively influence newborn postpartum adaptation by respiratory depression. Introduction to GA is thus accompanied by exaggerated autonomic stress reaction with hypertension and tachycardia. The use of ultra-short acting opioid remifentanil should suppress stress response in mother without increasing the risk for newborn. There are only a few clinical data available. This study will be the first one systematically studying the influence of remifentanil in pregnant women with hypertension on hemodynamic stability and newborns safety. This study will also identify potential pharmacogenetic factors of individual variability in remifentanil response with respect of drug efficacy and safety in mother and newborn.
This study will track changes in oral health in pregnant women. Subjects will be assigned to either regular oral care or advanced oral care and be given oral care products to use until they deliver. A comparison between the two groups (regular and advanced oral care) will be made to see if the oral care products impacted oral health and maternity variables.
