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…
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…
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 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…
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…
To design a multivariate prediction model of pregnancy outcome in women with PCOS with the intention to define intervention strategies for the future.
Disease activity, perianal involvement and lesion localisation are important influential parameters making sure no pregnancy is exactly alike and mode of delivery needs to be considered on an individual patient level.A complete anorectal function…
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…
Immunodetection of Thyrothrophin (TSH) receptor in myometrium tissue.Furtermore the aim is to test myometrium tissue in vitro for it's relaxation and contractility and it's conductance of electropotentials.
The goal of this study is to develop and test two tailored intervention programs to stimulate pregnant women to stop drinking alcohol. These intervention programs are a health counseling and a computer tailored intervention. The efficacy of the…
Our unique project is based on an ongoing European prenatal stress research focusing on the effect of prenatal stress on early sensory-cognitive development. We capitalize on the methodologically sound maternal and infant physiological measures…
The objective of this study is to better understand the forces and tongue movements that a baby uses while drinking at the breast and to what extent they contribute to effective feeding.
