To compare acylated and unacylated ghrelin concentrations in pregnant women with GD and without GD.
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…
With this research project we will investigate the relationship between SSRI concentration in the (pre)term neonate and clinical short and long term effects on the neonate after exposure to SSRI*s during pregnancy and lactation. Furthermore, the…
To obtain reference values of rsO2 of cerebral and muscle tissue measured by NIRO 200 NX for (relatively) healthy near term and term neonates.
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…
In this research study we observe the effect of breathing on placenta- to infant transfusion, by measuring bloodflow in the umbilical vein, vena cava inferior, ductus venosus and hepathic vein, to get a better understanding of the underlying…
The objective of this study is to compare the direct effect of the administration of an initial FiO2 of 1.0 versus 0.3 on respiratory effort during stabilisation of preterm infants in the first 5 minutes after birth. After evaluation of the initial…
This study aims to validate NI-fECG monitoring as an accurate and reliable monitoring technique for FHR, MHR and UA surveillance during labour. The aim of this validation is to work towards clinical implementation of NI-fECG monitoring.
To investigate the association between preterm brain injury, impaired brain development and neurodevelopmental outcomes 9-10 years after VPT birth
ICG allows continuous, non-invasive monitoring of the CO. ICG is a method that detects changes in thoracic electrical bioimpedance between simple skin electrodes, together with a conventional ECG. To estimate CO, it uses complex algorithms based on…
Reduce the need for other analgesia after RIPC by investigating the efficacy of remote ischemic preconditioning on pain during labour.
Primary objective: To determine the association between serum adiponectin and the risk of developing gestational diabetes. Secondary objective: To determine the association between serum leptin in pregnancy and the risk of developing gestational…
First, to compare MLP children with FT and with EP peers regarding intelligence at age 14 to 15 years. Second, to compare MLP children with FT and with EP peers regarding health, health-related behaviors, growth measures, blood pressure, pubertal…
The aim of this reseach project is to gain insights into the effects of distribution and intermission of postpartum care hours on the success rate of breastfeeding and the experienced empowerment and quality of care by the mother during and after…
The primary objective is to determine if maternal stress affects breast milk composition
Does the test influence a couples decision to refrain from further treatment.
The overall aim is to study the effects of a lifestyle intervention for young women who are pregnant <= 12 weeks of gestational age and have a high risk on perinatal morbidity because of prepregnancy overweight or obesity and, if applicable,…
The objective of the study is to identify biomarkers that associate to brain (physiological) status or mental (functional) health status and their interaction. More specific, our first aim is to determine the association between neuroinflammatory…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether darbepoetin alfa is effective in reducing the incidence of late anemia in infants with HDN treated with IUT and therefore in decreasing the number of top-up transfusion required per…
The main objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of early visual assessment and early rehabilitation of VPD in very preterm children (born <30 weeks GA), from 1 year CA.
