To compare acylated and unacylated ghrelin concentrations in pregnant women with GD and without GD.
To validate spectral analysis of the fHRV as a new method for fetal monitoring. To determine the exact influence on fHRV of several commonly used medicines in obstetric care; namely tocolytic drugs, corticosteroids, antihypertensive agents,…
1a. Determine whether the effect of low-molecular-weight heparin can be explained by aspirin resistance. 1b. Assess the consistency of aspirin resistance during and after pregnancy measured with several complementary devices. 2. Determine…
The striking difference in uptake of Down*s Syndrome screening between countries that otherwise show close resemblance, particularly regarding healthcare policy, social and cultural factors (including non-directiveness of counselling, autonomous and…
The prime objective of the IMPROvED project is to develop a clinically robust predictive blood test for pre-eclampsia, using innovative technologies and utilising novel metabolite and protein biomarkers. This blood test is targeted to all first time…
To investigate the hypothesis that temporising treatment of women with early-onset, severe preeclampsia improves infant outcome and may reduce direct treatment costs in comparison to short-term planned delivery, while persistent maternal morbidity…
Applicability of fetal brain imaging techniques for clinical purposes.
What is the most reliable way, defined as the lowest percentage rate of urines which are contaminated, to collect urine in pregnant women to asses bacteriuria? Comparison of three different methods of collection: midstream morning urine, midstream…
The overall aim of the DALI study is to identify the best available measures to prevent GDM in an ongoing pregnancy, to provide a cost-benefit calculation of GDM prevention for health care systems, and to establish a pan-European cohort of mother-…
This study aims to explore the pattern of change in cardiovascular sympathetic activity in response to pregnancy by estimating the central sympathetic activity by measuring the pre-ejection period (PEP). The PEP is considered the golden standard for…
This study will assess the capacity of quantitave fetal fibronectin testing as compared to or in addition of cervical length measurements and vaginal digital exams to predict preterm delivey in women with symptoms of preterm labour.
To evaluate whether cognitive function of formerly preeclamptics is diminished and correlated with dynamic cerebrovascular control properties using non-invasive measuring techniques (dynamic cerebral autoregulation, neurovascular coupling). Question…
Hypothesis.In women with preeclampsia endovascular remodeling and invasion of the spiral arteries is less prominent which will result in overwhelming placental oxidative stress and pregnancy failure. Abnormal function of trophoblast and stroma cells…
To determine whether fFN kan detect preterm delivery in monochorionic twins treated for TTTS.
What is the prevalence of ASB and incidence of UTIs during pregnancy in women with DM or GDM compared to pregnant women without diabetes? In addition, risk factors for ASB and UTIs, as well as consequences of ASB and UTIs will be investigated. These…
To gain insight in the relation between maternal thyroid function and maternal emotional complaints during pregnancy and the development of the child in relation to the self-regulation capacities of the child.
Validation of Microlife 3BTO-A and OMRON for blood pressure measurement in women with moderate to sever preeclampsia.
1- To determine the physiological concentrations of ADAM12 and PP13, longitudinal, in the early first trimester in normal pregnancies. 2- To analyse the stability of these proteins, the effect of transport and higher temperatures.3- To compare the…
To test the hypothesis that in formerly preeclamptic women with a low plasma volume a month physical excercise improves vascular and hemodynamic functions.
To determine the cardiovascular changes in response to orthostatic stress in women with a vascular complicated obstetric history or recurrent miscarriage.
