Filter by:An Exploratory Randomized double-arm controlled trial to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of low versus high dose of Alveofact with or without Budesonide.
The goal of this multi-center observational clinical trial is to investigate the genetic risk factors of patients with premature CAD and none traditional CAD risk factors through a multi-omics approach. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Genetic risk factors & metabolic fingerprints of patients with premature CAD and none traditional CAD risk factors remain unknown. - How to optimize current primary prevention strategy for this rare CAD subgroup？
This study will investigate stress that parents of children admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) experience. Investigation of a novel intervention of using bilateral alternating stimulation to reduce parental stress and anxiety and increase bonding/attachment in NICU. Evaluate parental stress and feelings of bonding using surveys before and after the intervention. Intervention will be done at neonate's bedside while admitted to the NICU. Vital sign data will be collected as a marker of parent and neonate's stress response during the intervention.
It was aimed to determine the effect of parental participation on newborn comfort during diaper care practice in preterm infants. H1: Parental participation during infant diaper care practice in preterm infants has an effect on newborn comfort. H2: There is a difference in the effect of parent diaper care practice and the participation of the mother or father on newborn comfort in preterm infants. H3: There is a difference between the stress levels of parents before the application of infant diaper care in preterm infants.
The aim of the study is to assess mental and somatic symptoms of preterm born children at the ages of 2, 5 and 10 by a multidisciplinary team and to evaluate an app that screens for these symptoms. Furthermore, there will be an evaluation of an intervention by our multidisciplinary team that provides recommendations for further treatment and diagnostic procedures of the children.
We are an inter-disciplinary team of UK scientists with expertise in obstetrics, women's and child health, epidemiology, climate science, inflammation, computational modelling, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Together we have a long history with existing strengths underlying preterm birth research that crosses multiple disciplines and an excellent track record of publications and awards leading research in preterm birth. We aim to develop and validate a deep learning model to predict the risk of preterm birth and other adverse pregnancy outcomes using data from EPIC electronic health records at University College London Hospital Trust (UCLH) for a cohort of 18000 patients. We will obtain corresponding data on exposure to ambient pollution using non-identifiers for postcode (area) and date of delivery (month). The model will review the temporal sequence of events within a patient's medical history and current pregnancy, identifying significant interactions and will predict the risk of preterm birth. It will also determine the threshold and gestation at which pollution exposure has the greatest impact.
This study aims to assess whether extending the duration of caffeine therapy will help preterm infants achieve full oral feeding faster.
This study was planned to determine the effect of kangaroo care applied by parents of premature newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit on the newborn's vital signs, perceived parenting self-efficacy level and attachment to the baby.
This is an observational study in which only data from babies with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) who are being treated with aflibercept (Eylea) in prefilled syringe (PFS) using a paediatric dosing device (PDD) are collected and studied. ROP is a condition that affects the eyes of preterm babies. It occurs when the baby's retina, the part of the eye that senses light, does not develop normally. This may result in vision problems, including blindness, if left untreated. Preterm babies are born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. ROP is more likely to develop in babies who are born before 32 weeks of pregnancy or weigh less than 1.5 kilograms at birth. Aflibercept is a drug that is injected into the eye. It works by blocking a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which causes abnormal growth of blood vessels in the retina. Aflibercept in PFS given using a PDD is approved for the treatment of babies with ROP. The prefilled syringe will be fitted with an injection needle to give aflibercept. And a PDD is a tool used to give the right amount of aflibercept to children in a safe manner. Since there are other treatments which are commonly used for babies with ROP, the extent of use of aflibercept given using a PDD is unknown. The main purpose of this study is to: - find the number of preterm babies who are treated with aflibercept using a PDD in the UK - inform whether this number is enough to perform a study to learn about the long-term safety of aflibercept given using a PDD in babies with ROP An additional purpose of this study is to describe characteristics including age, sex, and race, and signs and symptoms of ROP observed in babies being treated with aflibercept using a PDD. The data will come from a database called the National Neonatal Research Database. The study will cover the period from March 2024 to March 2025, if the number of babies found is enough to perform the safety study. If not, data will be collected till April 2027. In this study only available data from preterm babies born during the study period are collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.
investigator is doing single armed clinical interventional study to treat premature ovarian insufficiency with autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear cells to be given systematically and locally to the ovaries under ultrasound guidance with experienced gynecologist and to look for the results including: laboratory evidence through hormonal study ultrasound proof of ovarian follicle development. premature ovarian insufficiency is characterized by early loss of ovarian function (less than 40 years of age) manifested by menstrual irregularity or amenorrhea with elevated levels of gonadotropin hormones and low estrogen and anti-Mullerian hormone. Autologous use of stem cells from bone marrow are alternative safe minimal manipulative products that can provide a solution to this clinical problem without the need for oocyte donation program.
