To increase our understanding of the developmental significance of chromosomal mosaicism in preimplantation embryos by investigating their implantation potential and the fate of abnormal cells after an in vitro implantation procedure.
The objective of this study is to find out is the way contractions are maesurent during labor are of any influence on the lenght and the way women deliver. It also looks if there is any influence on neonatal outcome.
Investigate the effect of acidic and neutral oligosaccharides supplemented enteral nutrition on infectious morbidity, feeding tolerance and short-term outcome in VLBW infants. Furthermore, an attempt is made to elucidate the role of acidic and…
To assess the effectiveness of misoprostol in the management of retained placenta. Will 800 micrograms of misoprostol orally reduce the need for manual removal under general anaesthesia and prove to be a safe alternative?
The aim of this study is to identify factors that can hamper of facilitate the implementation and to use this knowledge to develop an effective implementation strategy.
This study is focused on determination of risk factors associated with preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction, both develop in early pregnancy. These pregnancy complications are associated with cardiovascular diseases in later life. We…
Understanding the normal development of the early pregnancy and observing this process ultrasonographically has allowed us to monitor effectively first trimester pregnancy, and recognize early signs of abnormal outcome. The CRL (Crown-Rump-Length)…
The aim of this study is to describe and learn more about parenting attitudes, laxness and overreactivity, the ability to set limits and parenting stress in fathers and mothers of children born preterm at the age of 5 to 7. Hypotheses will be tested…
The following hypotheses will be tested:Hypothese a: Remifentanil PCA gives a better labour satisfaction than pethidine/meperidine i.m.Hypothese b: Remifentanil PCA gives a better pain-relief during labour, than pethidine/meperidine intramuscularly.…
The objective of this study is to evaluate a new and less invasive method of PGS. The new PGS technique will analyse a nucleus of a blastomere that was obtained by nuclear extraction rather than by biopsy of a whole blastomere.
1. To prevent multiple pregnancies and the concomittant neonatal mortality and morbidity while retaining acceptable delivery rates in couples with unexplained subfertility or mild male subfertility and poor fertility prospects. 2. To assess the…
The aim of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to improve genetic diagnostic testing in case of fetal abnormalities and a normal karyotype. We are interested in the relevance of the additional genetic testing.We wish to study the…
In this study we aim to compare the effect of two different ovarian stimulation protocols on embryo quality in a group of women of 39 years or younger, in a prospectively randomized controlled trial. PGS will be performed to assess chromosomal…
The overall aim of the study: To assess whether an exercise program can improve insulin sensitivity and fasting plasma glucose levels of women at high risk for gestational diabetes, assuming that this will normalise their risk of gestational…
To identify factors that have an influence on the reproductive decision-making for a subsequent pregnancy of women having a child with congential anatomical anomalies.
Primary outcome is to evaluate whether successful ECV is associated with maternal thyroid function and mood state in single pregnant women with breech position at end term.
We would like to perform a study in which first the level of agreement and the correlation between echocardiography and the new rebreathing technique in estimating cardiac output will be determined.
Whether cognitive functions in SGA children are impaired due to inappropriate developmental outgrowth in children born with a low birth weight is unknown. This is also the case for the fact whether GH treatment from the age of 4 years is still…
The objective of this study is to examine the consequences of the use of an SSRI in pregnancy for motor and cognitive development of the child, in the short and long term.
The main objective of this study is compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of remifentanil, administered as patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), with epidural analgesia.
