i-MOM: Improving Maternal-fetal Outcome Monitoring
… in the United States is use of an electronic fetal monitor (EFM), which is employed to predict and eliminate hypoxic injury during birth. However, since inception of the EFM in the 1960s, incidence of hypoxic injury has remained nearly the same. Riddled with conflicting and confusing data, the …

Maternal and fetal outcome of subsequent pregnancy in patients with documented peripartum cardiomyopathy
… high risk of heart failure relapse. We report on outcome of SSPs in PPCM patients in South Africa. METHODS AND RESULTS: Of the 18 PPCM patients with a SSP, 3 patients died within 6-months follow-up. Overall relapse rate, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50% or death after at least 6 …

Role of Activated Macrophages and Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines in Placental Trophoblast Invasion and Fetal Outcome
… vessels that supply the placenta to support fetal growth and development. Inadequate trophoblast invasion and spiral arteriole remodelling may result in excessive placental pathology leading to pre-eclampsia and intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR), which are major causes of maternal and …

Epidemiology of preterm premature rupture of fetal memranes(PPROM) at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka
… logistic regression analysis showed that poor fetal outcome was associated with a gestation age of <34 weeks (OR 18.77, 95% CI 1.87 -188.62) and birth weight of <1500g (OR 281.17, 95% CI 12.47 – 6338.97). A caesarean delivery had a tendency towards reducing poor fetal outcome (OR 0.01, 95% CI …

A Finite Element Model of the Pregnant Female Occupant: Analysis of Injury Mechanisms and Restraint Systems
… that between 300 to 3800 will experience a fetal loss. Placental abruption has been shown to account for 50% to 70% of fetal losses in motor vehicle crashes. While there is a growing database of medical case studies and retrospective studies describing the outcome of motor vehicle accidents …

Protecting the Pregnant Occupant: Dynamic Material Properties of Uterus and Placenta
… females and the leading cause of traumatic fetal injury mortality in the United States. The first way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother considering that maternal death has a near 100% fetal loss rate. If the mother survives, protection of the fetus may best be accomplished by …

The Importance of Glucose Transport in Reproductive Events
… Kelle H. Moley, Chairperson Successful pregnancy outcome is contingent on a number of factors, the earliest of which include the events occurring during early pregnancy. This time period from fertilization to implantation requires drastic changes in both the embryo and the uterus, including cell …

Effect of nutrition counseling on maternal nutritional performance, birth outcome and choice of infant feeding in pregnant teenagers
… maternal nutritional performance, and pregnancy outcome, in 100 pregnant teenagers enrolled in the WIC program in North Carolina. Data on prenatal weight gain, rate of weekly weight gain, gestational duration and birth weight of infants born to these teenagers was retrieved from medical records. …

Mechanisms of Copper-Dependent Notochord Formation in Zebrafish
… during early development profoundly impacts fetal outcome. Copper is an essential nutrient required for the redox activity of many enzymes, and recent work in our laboratory has elucidated the phenotype of copper deficiency in zebrafish, which includes a strikingly distorted notochord. The …

A Retrospective Analysis To Determine If Obstructive Sleep Apnea During Pregnancy is a Predictor of Length of Stay in Women Who Delivered in a MilitaryTreatment Facility
… contributed to unanticipated delivery-related outcomes resulting in a prolonged LOS following delivery of a baby. In two large retrospective cross-sectional studies of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during pregnancy, the authors reported women who had been diagnosed with OSA were more likely to …

The impact of maternal chronic hypertension and chronic kidney disease on the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and long-term cardiovascular disease: a population-based epidemiology study
… unclear whether the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) among women with CH and/or CKD has decreased. There is limited evidence on the association between antihypertensive treatment and APOs in women with CH. Although there is evidence that women with a history of APOs have an increased …

Role of PABP4 in intrauterine growth restriction
… and an increased prevalence of late-gestational fetal death (akin to stillbirth). Stillbirth affects approximately 1 in 225 pregnancies in the UK, and IUGR is not only a major risk factor for stillbirth but also for prematurity, neonatal mortality, childhood neurodevelopmental disorders and …
