To evaluate the efficacy of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in women with inherited thrombophilia and recurrent miscarriage on live birth.
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…
We seek to elucidate the perinatal exposures to DEHP and BPA with the intention of providing evidence for policy makers and manufacturers. It is our hope that less toxic products will be used in health care and in the general population in the…
First ObjectiveIn this study we compare a policy of labour induction at 41 weeks with a policy of expectant management until 42 weeks, with an outpatient check for CTG monitoring and ultrasound measurement in the 42nd week, with respect to the…
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?
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of guided tapering in early pregnancy as compared to continuation of SSRIs during pregnancy. We will study effects on both mother and child with a pragmatic approach.
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…
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…
First objective: To assess improvement in live birth rate after levothyroxine supplementation. Secondary objective: 1) to test the hypothesis that levothyroxine lowers the risk for miscarriage and preterm birth 2) to test the hypothesis that…
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…
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…
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 APOSTEL-VI study will assess whether a cervical pessary prolongs pregnancy in women who have been admitted for threatened preterm labor with a positive fibronectin test, but remained undelivered. Furthermore we will study whether a cervical…
To assess whether a higher prophylactic platelet transfusion threshold is superior to the lower thresholds in reducing the proportion of patients who experience a major bleed or death up to study day 28.
