Filter by:Title: Using Community Health Workers (CHWs) and Nurses (CHNs) to increase Skilled Attendant at Birth (SAB) and improve Maternal and Neonatal Health in Rural Ghana Background: SAB is a key strategy for improving maternal and new born health since most of the complications occurring at childbirth could be better managed when the delivery is supervised by a doctor, midwife or nurse. The effect of home visits to pregnant women by a CHW/CHN partnership on SAB is yet to be evaluated in a trial in Ghana. This trial will determine the effectiveness of a CHW/CHN home visit intervention to pregnant women on increasing SAB and improving birth outcomes for mothers and their neonates. Methods: Following ethical approval, we will train CHWs and CHNs to provide a package of health education and support for delivery during three home visits to each pregnant woman. This partnership will be evaluated through a cluster randomized controlled trial in 20 electoral areas in Ellembelle district of Ghana: 10 will be randomized to receive the CHW/CHN partnership intervention and 10 to the control arm (usual care), with a target recruitment of 46-50 women per cluster. The CHWs and CHNs will receive technical and financial support throughout the study. Data on SAB, maternal utilization of safe practices during pregnancy, breast feeding initiation, exclusive breastfeeding, immunization coverage for mother and new born, maternal deaths and neonatal death rates will be collected. The impact of the CHW/CHN intervention on these indicators will be reported.

The main theme of this study focuses on providing evidence of the impact of antenatal physical activity on maternal/foetal cardiovascular changes during pregnancy and maternal cardiovascular adaptations during the early postpartum period.
The research plan is divided into two parts. The first part is the correlation study .It is planned to include women who prepare for pregnancy or in the early stages of pregnancy to carry out the detection of 25 loci SNP of 21 genes of 9 nutrients, to predict the nutritional abnormalities of 9 nutrients, and to determine the nutritional status of 9 nutrients, and then verify the correlation between nutrient metabolism related gene SNP and nutrient nutrition status .The second part selects iron and selenium which are commonly lacking in Chinese women of childbearing age. A intervention study is designed for these two nutrients. According to the SNP grouping of related gene loci, observe the effect of nutrition intervention and explore the nutrition intervention strategies of different SNP individuals.
Prilocaine is a local anesthetic drug which as an intermediate duration of action shorter than bupivacaine 0,5% that is usually used for spinal anesthesia in scheduled cesarean section. No study has yet investigated the use of hyperbaric (HB) prilocaine 2% for intrathecal anesthesia in cesarean section. The aim of this study is to determine the Effective Dose (ED) 95 of hyperbaric (HB) prilocaine 2% by using the Continual Reassessment Method (CRM)
Introduction : Cesarean rate varies from 45% to 73% in the literature in patient with diabetes type 1. Having a prior C-section is the most important risk factor. The aim of this study was to identify risk factor of cesarean in this population. Methods: This study is an observational, retrospective and single-center study from the hospital of Montpellier. All the pregnancies, planned or not, with subcutaneous insulin infusion or multiple daily injections of insulin, in patients with diabetes type 1 between 2009 and 2015, after 24 weeks of gestation were included. All the data were retrospectively collected by the principal investigator with computer and paper files.
The aim of this study was to describe prevalence, radiologic and ultrasound evolution during pregnancy, postnatal evolution and treatment strategy in case of isolated fetal spelnic cyst
The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection among pregnant women with and without Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and to determine the risk of adverse maternal and child outcomes associated with ZIKV/HIV co-infection across clinical sites in the continental United States (U.S.), Puerto Rico (P.R.) and Brazil.
The study aims to ascertain whether being placed in a sitting or lateral decubitus position, influences identification of the midpoint of the L4/L5 intervertebral space, using manual demarcation of Tuffier's line. Participants will be randomly assigned to a sitting or lateral decubitus position. The mid-point of the L4/L5 intervertebral space will be identified using anatomical palpation and compared to the "true" mid-point measured by ultrasound. The procedure will be repeated in both positions on the same participant.The study will be a prospective, randomized, double blinded, crossover trial
This cross-sectional study will try to give answers to the following project aims: - To provide an overview of the prevalence of health products' use among Belgian pregnant women (prescription and OTC medication, vitamin supplements, phyto-therapeutics, dermatologic products), including where pregnant women buy or get their health products (online web survey). - To document women's beliefs about medication during pregnancy and their information desire (online web survey). - To determine the current vitamin status among pregnant women and to reveal clinical targets for supplementing deficiencies in this population (blood sample analysis). The study will be performed at the obstetrics department of the University Hospitals of Leuven (campus Gasthuisberg). We aim to include 300 pregnant women (100 per trimester), of which 150 women will be asked to determine their vitamin status (50 per trimester).
