Filter by:The goal of this investigational study is to evaluate participation in a weekly, interactive, tender loving care messaging platform impact on pregnancy outcomes in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) does participation in weekly, interactive tender loving care messages increase live birth rates in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss? (2) Does participation in weekly, interactive tender loving care messages increase patients' quality of life? Does participation in weekly, interactive tender loving care messages decrease patients' depressive symptoms? Participants will be asked to interact with weekly messages providing prenatal counseling and support. Additionally, patients will be asked to complete the fertility quality of life survey several times over the course of the pregnancy.
In 50% of women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) miscarriages are unexplained, therefore no therapeutic intervention is possible. In a pilot study, women with unexplained RPL showed less endometrial NK cells (eNK) compared to women with a previously uncomplicated pregnancy. It is known that eNK cells are important for embryo implantation during early pregnancy. Investigators presume that high sympathetic activity in these women is related to eNK cell number, function and phenotype and that exercise is an effective intervention to lower sympathetic activity and to influence the immune system, as especially peripheral NK cells have been assumed to be responsive to physical training. The investigators hypothesize that moderate exercise can lower the adrenergic tone of the sympathetic nervous system hereby influencing endometrial NK cells in women with RPL and eventually pregnancy outcome.
The purpose of this Registry is to prospectively collect data of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) patients attending the specialized care centre at the BC Women's Hospital, in order to evaluate investigation practices, treatment options, and outcomes for this patient population over time.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in participant population ( women with uterine septum meeting the inclusion criteria) hysteroscopic septoplasty by resectoscope compared to hysteroscopic septoplasty with scissors. The main questions to answer are: Is there a difference in operative time ? Is there a difference in fluid used and fluid deficit? Is there a difference in complications? Is there a difference in reproductive outcome? Researchers will compare the 2 different techniques to see if there is any difference in operative outcome ( operative time, fluid used and deficit, need for second intervention, and operative and postoperative complications) and reproductive outcome.
Recurrent miscarriages (RM) affects 3% of all fertile couples, but remains unexplained in most cases, limiting therapeutic options. Possibly the maternal immune system plays a role in recurrent miscarriage. Prednisolone suppresses the immune system and might enable development of normal pregnancy. In this randomized controlled clinical trial the investigators will study the effect of prednisolone on the live birth rate in patients with RM. Secondary, the tolerability and safety for mother and child and the cost-effectiveness is investigated. In the study one group of pregnant women with RM and gestational age <7 weeks will receive prednisolone, the other group will receive a placebo. Total use of the medicine during this study is 8 weeks, further care during the study is routinely antenatal care. Subjects will be asked to fill in 4 short questionnaires and will have contact with a research nurse at different time points to gain information on the course of the pregnancy and possible side effects. Results of the study will be implemented in (inter) national guidelines, to effect everyday practice.
Spontaneous pregnancy loss is a relatively common phenomenon, with 10-15% of clinically recognized pregnancies ending in miscarriage.1 Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a disorder defined by two or more failed pregnancies2. According to various studies, pregnancy loss has been described as a traumatic event for couples even if the loss occurs at a very early stage of pregnancy. Few controlled studies dealt with the effects of the miscarriage on the psychological condition of women during a subsequent pregnancy, 4,6-8. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of "at home ultrasound" in addition to routine prenatal care in reducing maternal anxiety during pregnancy for patients with history of recurrent pregnancy loss. i.

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is defined as 2 or more consecutive miscarriages1 This condition affects about 1-3% of couples during their reproductive years. The role of vaginal infections in RPL is controversial and microbiological screening is not recommended as per the international guidelines. Current theories suggest that altered vaginal and uterine microbiota may trigger an inflammatory response in the endometrium even without the presence of clinical infection which could affect the success of embryo implantation and future development of pregnancy2 .Changes in the uterine microbiota can lead to chronic endometritis (CE). This condition is caused by continuing inflammation of the endometrium, involving a variety of common bacterial and yeast species and has been associated with RPL3 . Notably, CE can be found in up to 45% of infertile patients4. Current diagnosis of CE is based on histopathological examination, immunohistochemistry assay for CD138 cells and morphological appearance on hysteroscopy. While antibiotic treatment can improve ongoing pregnancy rates in patients with RPL treatment success is still partial and unpredictable. A mechanistic link is yet to be established between vaginal and uterine microbiota and RPL and it is unknown whether restoration of the microbiome in patients with RPL can improve pregnancy outcomes.
Treatment of Recurrent pregnancy loss using mesenchymal stem cells capable of differentiation in the endometrial-decidual direction.
The overall goals of this proposal are to determine the genetic architecture of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and to discover genomic predictors of RPL.
This cross-sectional and prospective cohort study will investigate if sRPL patients with a first born boy who carry ≥1 HY-restricting (HY-r) HLA class II alleles are associated with a lower chance for a succesful reproductive outcome in first pregnancy after admission compared to sRPL patients with a first born girl carrying ≥1 HY-r HLA class II alleles and women with no HY-r HLA class II alleles and a firstborn boy. Also, the study will compare sRPL patients with a firstborn boy who do not carry a HY-r HLA class II allele with sRPL patients having a firstborn girl and carrying no such alleles. We hypothesize that sRPL patients with a first born boy compared to sRPL patients with a firstborn girl who carry ≥1 HY-r HLA class II alleles is associated with a negative prognosis, while no association between sex of firstborn child and pregnancy outcome is expected in sRPL carrying no HY-r HLA class II alleles. Neither do we expect an association between pregnancy outcome and carriage of HY-r HLA class II alleles in pRPL patients.
