Craniofacial Microsomia: Longitudinal Outcomes in Children Pre-Kindergarten (CLOCK)

Craniofacial MicrosomiaHemifacial Microsomia3 more

This study is a multi-center, longitudinal cohort study of 125 infants with craniofacial microsomia (CFM) and 100 infants without craniofacial anomalies. Participants will undergo a series of evaluations between 0-3 years of age to comprehensively evaluate the developmental status of infants and toddlers with CFM. This research design will also explore specific pathways by which CFM may lead to certain outcomes. Specifically, the study explores (1) the longitudinal relations between facial asymmetry and emotion-related facial movements and socialization; and (2) associations among ear malformations, hearing and speech deficits and cognitive outcomes. Results of this research will ultimately lead to future investigations that assess new interventions and corresponding changes in current standards of care for children with CFM.

Evaluation of Infants With Intrauterine Growth Restriction

Intrauterine Growth Restriction

Purpose: Clinical assessment (anthropometric) and paraclinical (biochemical and immunological by dosing serum insuline growth factors IGF1 and IGF2 and their receptors) of neonates with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and the integration in a multidimensional statistical model . Objectives: IGF1 and IGF2 evaluation of serum and IGF1 receptor, IGF2 receptor and IGF2 receptor gene expression in cord blood from newborns with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). (Prospective) Evaluation and monitoring of anthropometric, clinical (non-cardiac morbidity) and paraclinical. (Retrospective & prospective) Evaluation and monitoring of morphological and functional by echocardiography. (Prospective) Integrating multidimensional clinical and paraclinical parameters in a statistical model for evaluating newborn with intrauterine growth restriction.

Influence of Intrauterine Growth Restriction on Amplitude-integrated EEG in Preterm Infants

Intrauterine Growth RestrictionPremature - Weight 1000g-2499g or Gestation of 28-37weeks4 more

Objective: The impact of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) on perinatal morbidity and long-term neurodevelopmental outcome has been published in numerous studies. Throughout this analysis, the influence of IUGR on the postnatal amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) in preterm infants below 30 weeks of gestation was assessed. The second concern was the correlation between the pattern of the aEEG in the first two weeks with neurodevelopmental outcome, comparing infants with and without IUGR. Methods: Routinely assessed aEEG data of preterm infants with IUGR born below 30 weeks of gestation in the years 2005 until 2007 were analysed retrospectively according to the aEEG score (combining occurrence of sleep-wake-cycles, background activity and suspected seizure activity). Neurodevelopmental outcome was evaluated at 24 months using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development and standardized neurologic examination.

Antiphospholipid Antibodies and Fetal Growth Restriction

Fetal Growth RestrictionAntiphospholipid Syndrome

The Antiphospholipid Syndrome is an immune disease where the presence of antibodies directed against cell membrane phospholipids (antiphospholipid antibodies) can cause an hypercoagulable state that causes thrombosis and obstetric complications (miscarriages, stillbirths). Since 1999 the Sapporo Criteria for Antiphospholipid Syndrome diagnosis includes the development of fetal growth restriction (diagnosed postpartum), but this was done without solid evidence of a relation between the two or using the most common form of fetal growth restriction diagnosis (ultrasound). Our study will try to add information to this particular point.

The Relationship Between Second Trimester Placental Growth Factor Level and Fetal Growth Restriction...

Intra Uterine Growth Retardation

Type of the study: A prospective observational study Study settings: The study will be conducted at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital, Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Faculty of medicine over a period of six month from July 2017 to December 2017. Study population: The study population comprises 60 pregnant women at 13 to 28 week of gestation attending outpatient clinic and emergency Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital, Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Faculty of medicine. Sample size justification Sample size was calculated using PASS 11.0 sample size calculation program and based on the study carried out by Benton, et al. (2016) Group sample sizes of 30 in group one (IUGR) and 30 in group two (Controls) achieve 80% power to detect a difference between the group proportions of 0.2910. The proportion in group one (the treatment group) is assumed to be 0.2940 under the null hypothesis and 0.5850 under the alternative hypothesis. The proportion in group two (the control group) is 0.2940. The test statistic used is the two-sided Z test with pooled variance. The significance level of the test was targeted at 0.0500. The significance level actually achieved by this design is 0.0506. The primary outcome is birth weight below the 10 the percentile. The sample size was inflated by 15.0% to account for lost to follow up (attrition problem). Inclusion criteria: Singleton pregnancy between 13-28 weeks of gestation. Pregnant women aged 18 - 35 years Pregnant women with fetal abdominal circumference (AC) < 10th percentile for gestational age (GA) on ultrasound Exclusion criteria: To exclude any factors that cause IUGR: Chronic or gestational hypertension and/or preeclampsia Premature rupture of membranes A fetus with known chromosomal and/or congenital abnormalities confirmed after delivery.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Fetuses With Intrauterine Growth Restriction

Necrotizing Enterocolitis

Necrotizing enterocolitis is the most common gastroenterological emergency in neonatology. Its mortality is high, ranging from 15 to 30%. Prematurity is the main risk factor for necrotizing enterocolitis, as well as the very low birth weight (<1500 g) associated with prematurity. Among the early neonatal complications of intrauterine growth restriction neonates, necrotizing enterocolitis is frequently reported in the literature. The situation of chronic hypoxia of these fetuses is at the origin of a vascular redistribution favoring the cerebral circulation to the detriment of the mesenteric vascularization, which could lead to the development of an necrotizing enterocolitis. However, data from the literature concerning this over-risk of necrotizing enterocolitis in the case of intrauterine growth restriction are discordant. The heterogeneity of the definitions used for the intrauterine growth restriction and diagnostic criteria for necrotizing enterocolitis from one study to another could explain these discrepancies. The investigator's hypothesis is that the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis is higher among newborns in intrauterine growth restriction compared to control children.

Craniofacial Microsomia: Accelerating Understanding of the Significance and Etiology

MicrotiaMicrotia-Anotia5 more

The CAUSE study is a multicenter study, with domestic (n=4) and international (n=6) study sites. Children and young adults (ages 0-18) who have microtia and/or craniofacial microsomia and their parents are invited to participate. Children and parents are asked to provide a DNA sample (blood or saliva) and are asked to upload a few photos of their face. Parents are asked a short interview. Participants are able to participate from home or at one of four domestic sites.

Metals and in Fetal Growth Restriction

Fetal Growth Restriction

Introduction: Intrauterine fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a condition in which the fetus does not realize its growth potential in the uterus. Heavy metals important pollutants produced from anthropogenic activities, has been suggested to be embryotoxic and fetotoxic in a lot of studies. However, the causes of fetal growth restriction are little known and heavy metals merit further investigation. The investigators will be tested whether fetal growth restriction was associated with exposure to these metals/vitamins. Methods: This study was designed to determine maternal plasma/urine/hair, cord plasma, placenta and breast milk tin (Sn), manganese (Mn), Vanadium (V), Magnesium (Mg), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), antimony (Sb), aluminium (Al), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), selenium (Se), iron (Fe), vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin B12 and folate concentrations in women with FGR (n=55) compared to those of volunteer healthy pregnant women (n=55). These heavy metals concentrations measured using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry were compared.
