Filter by:Type of study: prospective descriptive monocentric study Population: 2 groups: -Exposed group: pregnant patient between 24AW+0day and 32AW+0day receiving magnesium sulfate for fetal neuroprotection in the doubt of premature delivery - Control group: pregnant patient between 32AW+1day and 35AW+0day in the same context not requiring magnesium sulfate due to their gestationnal age. Criterion(s) of judgment: Appearance of a change in short-term variability after injection of magnesium sulfate in the exposed group compared to the control group. Schedule: Inclusion from February 20 to August 31, 2018 Expected results and prospects: The general impression during my semester at the Jeanne de Flandre maternity clinic in Lille was the variability improves after injection of the magnesium sulfate used in the premature infant as a neuroprotective. The investigators would like to proove that the use of magnesium sulfate as neuroprotective in premature fetuses would improve the fetal heart rate by increasing variability. In the literature there are numerous publications on the effects of magnesium sulfate used as tocolytic (higher doses) in the threats of premature labour, generally showing a variability and number accelerations decreases without increase the number of decelerations. Is this effect is the same as the doses used for fetal neuroprotection? Expected benefits of the research: Magnesium sulfate used on premature infants for fetal neuroprotection has an impact on fetal heart rate, including variability and number of accelerations.
Effects of oral administration of a food supplement constituted by α-lipoic acid, magnesium, vitamin B6 and vitamin D in tablets of 1,2 g administered daily to women presenting risk factors for preterm birth (PTB). The aim is to reduce the rate of short cervix at 19-21 weeks of gestational age and consequently reduce the occurrence of PTB.
The aims of the study is to evaluate the association between presence and parental participation in perinatal care and psychic development of the child at 24 months
This is a prospective,randomized, cross over study comparing the efficacy and safety of nebulizedfurosemide with Intra Venous (IV)furosemide in preterm infants who areventilator-and oxygen dependent. Reviewing the patient census on Neo data by the Sub Investigator will identify the potential subjects. Subject will be randomized to either A arm or B arm. Subjects in the A arm will receive 1 mg/kg of inhaled furosemideQ 24 hours for 3 days. This will be followed by a washout period of a day followed by 1mg/kg of intravenous furosemide Q 24 hours for 3 days. Subjects in the B arm will receive 1 mg/kg of intravenous furosemide Q 24 hours for 3 days followed by a washout period, which is then followed by 1 mg/kg of inhaled furosemide Q 24 hours for 3 days.
Study is to evaluate the efficacy of treatment Radio Frequency in premature jowl and neck laxity following facialplasty
Phototherapy is routinely used in neonatal intensive care units for the treatment of jaundice. Guidelines focus mainly on bilirubin serum levels to start the phototherapy. Only few data are available about clinical management of phototherapy devices and subsequently the impact on bilirubin serum decrease. Especially there are no strong recommendations about phototherapy duration, irradiance measurements, incubator temperature and humidity settings. Various factors can influence irradiance and thus the preterm infant bilirubin serum decrease. This study aims at evaluating the impact of an educational program on the use and efficacy of phototherapy in a neonatal intensive care unit.
Multi-center, international, prospective, randomized, double-blind, two-arms, sham-controlled, first-in-human clinical investigation. The Patients will be allocated to one of the following groups: - Group A (Active Device Group): Patients will receive a fully functioning vPatch device, pre-configured to deliver stimulation intensity according to the subjective motor threshold intensity reported by the Patients. Pre-configured stimulation intensity cannot be changed by the Patient. - Group B (Sham Device Group): Patients will receive a vPatch device pre-configured to deliver the sensory electrical stimulation according to the subjective sensory threshold that is ineffective for muscle activation. Pre-configured stimulation intensity cannot be changed by the Patient. The study will start with a Screening Visit (Visit 1), when potential Patients complaining of PE will be informed about the investigation and its objectives. If they agree to participate, after signing a valid Informed Consent Form they will undergo a full medical history and physical examination and will be selected according to eligibility criteria except IELT (which will be examined at the next visit). The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety profile of the vPatch device and its effectiveness in delaying ejaculation when used in Patients suffering of PE. The secondary objectives of this study are: - To assess the Patient's perception of the ease of use of the vPatch device and treatment, through the use of a dedicated questionnaire (Usability Questionnaire). - To assess the Patient's perception of the changes in his Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP) under different aspects with the use of device, through the use of a dedicated questionnaire (Control and Distress Domains of the Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP) Questionnaire). - To assess the Patient's perceived intensity of orgasm by using the vPatch device, through the use of a validated tool (Orgasmometer).
The FOUNDATION study will evaluate the tolerability of feeding preterm infants a B. infantis probiotic (EVC001) as the primary endpoint. This particular strain of Bifidobacterium has been shown to uniquely utilize oligosaccharides found in human breast milk, possibly providing a nutritional benefit for the infant consuming breast milk when B. infantis is colonized in the gut.
Out of the most commonly performed procedures in neonates, naso-gastric tube insertion is rated as the fifth most painful. The pain is often under estimated due to the frequency with which the procedure is carried out. It has been shown that the environment in which the procedure is performed (e.g with skin to skin contact and specific positioning), reduces the discomfort felt by the newborn. However, this has not yet been proven with regards to naso-gastric tube insertion.
This study evaluates the addition of oral dydrogesterone to standard treatment in the treatment of preterm labor. Half of participants will receive oral dydrogesterone and standard treatment, while the other half will receive oral placebo and standard treatment.
