Hypothesis: gaseous signaling molecules influence placental vasomotor activity to compensate for hypoxemia. Metabolites of these vasoactive molecules can be found in the blood and urine and can indicate whether this (compensatory) mechanism is used…
The objective of the study is to determine the protein profile of cerebrospinal fluid of non-pregnant women using mass-spectrometry.This study is a follow-up project on the previously performed study (LEPRA, CSF and pre-eclampsia, MEC 2007-087). In…
The aim of this study is to study risk factors (in the field of public health and occupation as well as medical technical factors) to enable early detection of pregnant women at increased risk and to integrate these risk factors in a risk prognostic…
Does humoral and/or cellular rejection play a role in recurrent miscarriage of unknown etiology?Can biomarkers of humoral and/or cellular rejection be used for the detection of patients who are likely to suffer a miscarriage in a next pregnancy?
In view of this lack of evidence and strong practice variation we propose a randomized clinical trial in overweight and obese subfertile women, in which we compare the costs and effects of a six months structured lifestyle program, aimed at weight…
The main objective of this study is to analyse the effect of preeclampsia on levels of memory T cell subsets in peripheral blood.
Developing a risk score based on established risk factors and personality traits, to predict possible postnatal anxiety/depression with or without problems in bonding between mother and child at the first consult at the midwives practice or…
The next questions will be addressed in the present study: 1. Do moderately preterm infants differ in development and attention and concentration capacities from a term and very preterm infants during the first years of life? 2. Do attention and…
The purpose of the sub-study is to do research into markers which will hopefully assist to diagnose the condition Peripartum Cardiomyopathy as early as possible. The blood donated for research will also assist in the assessment of women having a…
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…
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…
The aim of the current study is to get insight into the in potential lifelong consequences of active disease and or prednisone use during pregnancy on the children of women with rheumatoid arthritis. As readout it uses indicators (risk factors) for…
To design a multivariate prediction model of pregnancy outcome in women with PCOS with the intention to define intervention strategies for the future.
Does HLA sharing in couples with recurrent miscarriage play a role in recurrent miscarriage of unknown etiology?
The primary objective is to determine if there is an association between the presence of vertebral and/or rib anomalies and congenital malformations, aneuploidy or adverse fetal outcome, in order to assess whether detailed evaluation of the…
The proposed study has 2 main aims: 1) Understanding the complex interplay of determinants of parenting and examining how specific parenting styles explain associations between parent characteristics (such as personality or mental and physical (ill…
1. To obtain early diagnostic and prognostic markers for preterm premature rupture of membranes and premature labour, based on ultrasound examinations of mother, placenta and fetus and markers present in blood and urine of mother at 11-14 weeks and…
The principal aim of this study is to elucidate the role of the glycocalyx in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia by assessing: - Whether the glycocalyx is affected in pre-eclampsia and is related to its severity.- Whether glycocalyx perturbation is…
To test The Selection Failure hypothesis by assessing A) the degree of embryo invasiveness and decidual acceptance (the quality of decidualization, endometrium-embryo communication and endometrial stromal cell (ESC) migration) and B) the angiogeneic…
The main goal of this study is to examine the clinical applicability of the Monica AN24*, for the use of this device in the LUMC for prolonged CTG-registrations in high risk pregnancies and particularly in monitoring fetal cardiac arrhythmias. The…
