To investigate the effect of maternal hyperoxygenation with 100% in the second stage of labor and in the presence of abnormal fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns on fetal condition, instrumental delivery rate and free radical production. In case a…
The primary objective is to assess feasibility of a food supplement (multispecies probiotic) placebo-controlled, randomised controlled, double blind intervention in pregnant women in their late second/third trimester of pregnancy, to reduce symptoms…
To investigate whether bright light therapy is an effective treatment for depression during pregnancy compared with low-intensity placebo light therapy (proof-of-principle) and to investigate the late effects of bright light therapy versus placebo…
We hypothesize that formerly pre-eclamptic women have persistently increased angiotensin II sensitivity, sodium sensitivity, insulin resistance and sympathetic nerve activity together initially leading to susceptibility for early renal disease and…
1. To investigate the influence of different immunosuppressive drugs on the immune response of placental derived mononuclear cells, peripheral blood derived mononuclear cells, and cord blood derived mononuclear cells.2. To investigate the neonatal…
The primary objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of white matter lesions and subjective/objective neurocognitive functioning in women several years after pregnancy compared to nulliparous women The secondary objective is to…
Primary ObjectiveDifference in incidence of an avulsion injury and morphological changes of the levator ani muscle after a first normal vaginal delivery between participants with and without a mediolateral episiotomy.Secondary ObjectiveChanges in…
1. To evaluate and compare the impact of hysteroscopic Essure® intratubal device placement and laparoscopic salpingectomy on IVF-ET outcomes of patients with hydrosalpinx.2. It is still uncertain whether laparoscopic salpingectomy for hydrosalpinx…
Main objective of this pilot study is to investigate the placental bed histological phenotype and evaluate a scoring system for lesion characteristics of the placental bed spiral artery in pre-eclampsia and uncomplicated pregnancy. The secondary…
To design a multivariate prediction model of pregnancy outcome in women with PCOS with the intention to define intervention strategies for the future.
We will examine effectiveness of the internet-based self-help intervention compared to a waiting list control condition on (1) reduction of depressive and anxiety symptoms post intervention and 6 weeks post-partum and (2) improvement in perinatal…
Disease activity, perianal involvement and lesion localisation are important influential parameters making sure no pregnancy is exactly alike and mode of delivery needs to be considered on an individual patient level.A complete anorectal function…
