Intralipid Therapy for Recurrent Implantation Failure and Recurrent Miscarriages: Is it a Hope or...

Pregnancy Complicated by Low Implantation

Both organ-specific and systemic autoimmunity are associated with an increased prevalence of recurrent miscarriage and reproductive failure, rendering the role of the maternal immunological system in fertility a key concept. It is believed by some that central to this theme is the maternal cytokine profile, with particularly T-helper (Th) cells. Immune modulating therapies have therefore been mooted as potential therapeutic strategies. Recent reports of high pregnancy rates achievable in women with RIF have added fuel to the debate regarding the effectiveness of intralipids in modulating the immune system.

First Trimester AbortionSurgical Abortion3 more

A surgical abortion under local anesthesia is potentially painful. A protocol using analgetic is systematically used. Also the protocol is relevant , the question of taking care of the pain in a safe manner remains. The use of Music during surgery can have a real effect on pain and anxiety. This study has for goal to evalued the use of music on pain as adjuvant treatement instead of a standard care for an abortion.

Walking and Dietary Modification for Recurrent Early Miscarriages

Recurrent Miscarriage

This study is part of a big one aiming to evaluate how lifestyle interventions during pregnancy affect obstetric results, neonatal metabolism and the intelligence of the offspring (study not yet completed). Data regarding obstetric and neonatal results were entered in NCT01409382, but we decided to split results in two for the sake of clarity. A cohort of women with early pregnancy losses without antiphospholipid antibodies was selected for two reasons. One is that these women follow strictly the recommendadtions. The second is that no medication has been shown to increase the rate of take-home babies in women with early miscarriages who test negative for antiphospholipid antibodies. We decided to focus on the fibrinolytic system because trophoblast migration and placental vasculogenesis and angiogenesis depend on plasmin-dependent extracellular matrix remodeling. Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 inhibits the generation of plasmin. Since both glucose and insulin increase PAI-1 synthesis, hyperglycemia itself, or by stimulating insulin production, reduces plasmin generation, which may impair placentation. Abnormalities in glucose metabolism may be also deleterious to embryos by causing epigenetic changes. Chromosomal abnormalities are considered an important cause of early pregnancy losses. Several lines of evidence lend support to the hypothesis that carbohydrate metabolism abnormalities contribute to the pathogenesis of recurrent early pregnancy losses. One is that of the pregnancies of the women with polycystic ovary syndrome, around 30 and 50% end with first-trimester miscarriages. Hyperinsulinemia is a prevalent feature of the syndrome, and interventions proven effective in reducing insulin levels, such as metformin, have been shown to reduce the rate of early miscarriages. The other is that patients with body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2 have significantly higher odds of early miscarriage, regardless of the method of conception. The investigator's hypothesis was that a balanced diet combined to regular exercise, by improving glucose homeostasis, would increase the take-home baby rate in women with consecutive early miscarriages. Moderate exercises are usually well tolerated not only by the mother, but also by the fetus, as indicated by tests of fetal well-being, including umbilical artery systolic to diastolic ratio.

Hyaluronic Acid and Uterine Synechiae

Uterine Synechiae After Scraping for Natural Miscarriage

The primary purpose of the study is to compare efficiency of a non-stick gel application after scraping surgery for natural miscarriage with no non-stick gel application after scraping surgery. Post-scraping uterine synechiae rate will be established at the diagnostical hysteroscopy 6-8 weeks after surgery.

Automatic Volume Calculations During Three-dimensional Sonohysterography.

Infertility,Abortions2 more

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the feasibility and reliability of automatic volume calculation of uterine cavity in women with reproductive failures. 3D volumes of uterus and uterine cavity will be acquired during three-dimensional ultrasonography and sonohysterography. After that independent observers will measure offline the uterine cavity volume using automatic volume calculation using SonoAVC general software, and VOCAL software.

ACTRAMAT-D: Impact of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder After Pregnancy Loss After 12 Weeks of Gestation...

Pregnancy Loss

In France The prevalence of Pregnancy Loss after 12 weeks of gestation is around 3%. This situation is probably associated to a risk of post-traumatic stress disorder. As a part of the medical staff midwives are often confronted with this situation, however they can have difficulties to identify short and long term effects of a post-traumatic stress disorders. The purpose of the present study is to estimate and analyze the prevalence of short-term (1 month) post-traumatic stress disorder in women with pregnancy loss after 12 weeks of gestation.The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder will be tracked using the Impact of Event Scale-revisited and the Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaires.The diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder will also be clinically confirmed by a psychiatrist during a specific consultation.

SCUBE-1 and Carotid Intima Media Thickness in Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Clinical research will be carried out on two groups of patients. It will be performed on people with recurrent pregnancy loss and without a history of pregnancy loss. In two groups, blood samples will be assessed by elisa test, SCUBE-1 level and carotis intima media thickness will be evaluated by ultrasonographic measurement. It will be investigated whether there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups.A statistically significant difference in SCUBE-1 and carotid intima media thickness known as ischemia markers is expected in the group with recurrent pregnancy loss that could not be explained in the hypothesis of this planned study.

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Recurrent Pregnancy LossMiscarriage

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) affects 5% of couples trying to achieve parenthood. Most cases of RPL are unexplained and have no effective treatment to improve the likelihood of a pregnancy resulting in a live birth. This leads to significant patient and provider frustration and emotional stress. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a medication commonly used in pregnancy to treat autoimmune and connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This use has shown that HCQ is very safe in pregnancy. HCQ has anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic effects and thus may improve pregnancy outcomes in couples with unexplained RPL. Although some providers are already prescribing HCQ for unexplained RPL, a randomized controlled trial is necessary to determine the true efficacy and safety of this treatment. This study has the potential to establish support for a new treatment option for unexplained RPL.

Progesterone for the Prevention of Miscarriage and Preterm Birth in Women With First Trimester Bleeding:...

MiscarriagePreterm Birth

Miscarriages and preterm births are common and serious events affecting women, families, and healthcare systems on many levels. One of the risk factors for miscarriage and preterm birth is bleeding in the first trimester of pregnancy. Progesterone, a hormone that plays a key role during pregnancy, has been proposed as a possible medication to be used in pregnancy to prevent miscarriage and preterm birth among women who have bleeding in their first trimester of pregnancy. Unfortunately, unless sound clinical evidence is obtained through a clinical trial, whether or not progesterone can indeed prevent miscarriage and preterm birth remains uncertain and thus is not a recommended treatment in women with early pregnancy bleeding. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the effect of progesterone for the prevention of miscarriage and preterm birth among women with early pregnancy bleeding. We will carry out a clinical trial in which 850 women will be randomized to receive either progesterone supplementation (425 women) or a similarly appearing placebo (425 women) and the outcome of their pregnancy will be compared.
