Gestational Weight Gain Patterns
Background: Managing gestational weight gain (GWG) remains a global health priority as obesity among women of childbearing age and their children have been linked to excessive GWG. Excessive GWG has been linked to increased rates of cesarean sections, preterm births, hypertensive disorders, …

Preeclampsia Link to Gestational Hypoxia
Pregnancy is a vulnerable period and complications can adversely affect mother and child. Pregnancy disorders, such as preeclampsia, contribute to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, but underlying mechanisms remain uncertain, preventing effective diagnosis and treatment. Preeclampsia is …

Metabolic phenotypes of infants with normal birth weight, small-for-gestational-age, or after maternal gestational diabetes mellitus
… animal and human studies: infants born small-for-gestational-age (SGA; reflecting intrauterine undernutrition) and offspring of mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (OGDM; reflecting intrauterine overnutrition and hyperglycaemia). However, the underlying mechanism behind this phenomenon is …

Triggers of autoimmunity. Studies on gestational events.
… primary aim of this thesis was to test whether gestational exposure to environmental factors may induce islet autoimmunity. The second aim was to determine to what extent the exposure to viruses or other environmental factors is a risk factor for type 1 diabetes in the offspring. As children …

The genetic background of gestational diabetes mellitus
… is to better determine the genetic background of gestational diabetes (GDM) and to examine how specific genes affect the development of diabetes post partum. In the DiPiS (Diabetes Prediction in Skåne) study we typed for HLA-DQB1 alleled, the transcription factor 7-like 2(TCF7L2) rs7903146, …

Retrospective analysis of pregnancies at the Grootte Schuur Hospital : a comparison of pregnancy outcomes in pre-gestational and gestational diabetes
Although the treatment of gestational impaired glucose tolerance (GIGT) has been shown to be beneficial, the cost implications in treating GIGT in resource constrained economies needs examination. Thus this study assessed: (i) pregnancy outcomes in pre-gesational types 1 and 2 diabetes (DM) with …

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Infant Growth and Nutrition
Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a major public health problem associated with increased perinatal morbidity and later metabolic disease, both for the mother and offspring. However, the detection thresholds for GDM are widely debated. The International Association of Diabetes in …

Sepsis Associated Encephalopathy in Extremely Low Gestational Age Neonates
Sepsis in premature infants is associated with long term adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. There have been no previous studies to assess the acute changes in brain function during sepsis that may lead to long term adverse neurologic outcomes. The goal of this study was to identify acute changes …

Genetic and immunological risk factors of gestational diabetes mellitus
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a heterogeneous disorder that is defined as carbohydrate intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. Impaired beta-cell function and insulin resistance are the hallmarks of GDM. The overall aim of this thesis was to study the genetic and …

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus- Future risk for mother and child
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) occurs as a complication in 2% of all pregnancies in Sweden. Women with GDM have a substantial risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life, but the risk of developing type 1 diabetes is also increased. GDM increases the risk for macrosomia and caesarean …

Gestational diabetes self-management and remote monitoring mobile platform
There is a high prevalence of gestational diabetes (GD) in South Africa, which is continually growing. South African women with GD are not effectively managed or educated about selfcare, do not self-monitor frequently enough and, therefore, often succumb to various GD induced complications. The …

Accuracy of estimated fetal weight using ultrasound at term in pregnant women diagnosed with gestational and pre-gestational diabetes at Groote Schuur Hospital
… the incidence of diabetes in pregnancy, both pre-gestational as well as gestational. These patients are at risk of multiple perinatal complications, including macrosomia. There is an increased risk of perinatal complications with a fetal weight at birth of more than 4 000 g, especially if …

Retinal development and age related degeneration following gestational lead exposure
PURPOSE: Gestational lead exposure (GLE) increased and prolonged retinal progenitor cell proliferation in mice, resulting in a dose-dependent increase in two late-born retinal neurons: rod photoreceptors and bipolar cells. The present goals were to examine: 1) the spatiotemporal differentiation and …

Towards a data-driven personalised approach to gestational diabetes care
INTRODUCTION: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is high blood glucose that is first recognised during pregnancy and is one of the most common pregnancy complications. GDM is managed through lifestyle modification and may require pharmacological therapy to normalise blood glucose levels. Self …

Prepregnancy Body Mass Index, Gestational Weight Gain, and Child's Asthma Development
… maternal prepregnancy obesity, and excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) have been on the rise in recent decades. This has brought attention to these topics and whether maternal weight related metrics affect the risk of asthma. Methodological challenges and data quality have led to mixed …

DEVELOPMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF GESTATIONAL CANNABIS EXPOSURE IN RAT ACROSS THE LIFESPAN
… in Canada. However, preclinical research on gestational Cannabis exposure (GCE) primarily focuses on the effects of Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) through injection models, which fail to accurately reflect human usage patterns. This dissertation aimed to develop a more representative model to …

Gestational Diabetes, Depression, and the Impact on Maternal Child Health Outcomes
… occurs in about 20% of all pregnancies and gestational diabetes occurs in up to 14% of all pregnancies. Although there is sufficient information on (1) depression during pregnancy and (2) depression and diabetes, there is little information about depression and gestational diabetes. This …
