Comparison of Brain Volumes Measured by 2D USG and MRI
Central Nervous System Vulnerabilities in Preterm InfantsCranial USG is simple and easy method to assess preterm infant brain. Some studies showed that brain volumes of preterm infants could be calculated by measurement of 2D distances. Our aim in this study was to compare brain volume obtained by USG and MRI.
Which Needs for Premature New-born Babies' Parents Facing Environmental and Social Difficulties...
Preterm BirthThis study aims to understand parents' needs regarding social difficulties faced in a child's preterm birth context.
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase -Producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL) Vertical Transmission in Women...
Preterm LaborThe aims of the study are to evaluate the rate of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae colonization among women in preterm labor and term labor, the incidence of maternal vertical transmission of ESBL, and the clinical significance of ESBL in preterm infants.
Evaluation of Postural Control in Premature Children
Premature BirthTo date, it is largely unknown whether preterm children experience balance problems and whether they have normal postural control. Assuming that postural adaptation is affected after preterm delivery because it depends on attention and fine motor control, the postural control and motor development of children born preterm less than 32 weeks in the 5-7 age period will be affected compared to their healthy controls. Identifying these situations according to their healthy peers will improve the general health of premature births and enable better intervention methods to be designed.
Cerebral Near Infrared Spectroscopy During Blood Sampling From a Peripheral Artery Catheter in Preterm...
Cerebral OxygenationCerebral Blood Flow1 morePreterm infants often need peripheral artery catheters for invasive blood pressure recording and to facilitate blood sampling. Near infrared spectroscopy is a method to evaluate cerebral oxygenation and as well as cerebral blood flow. Sampling procedures with identical sampling volumes are performed at a short (40 seconds) and a long (70 seconds) time intervall while changes of cerebral oxygenation are measured. The investigators hypothesise that slower sampling decrease changes in cerebral blood flow.
Premature Ovarian Failure (Genetic and Physiopathologic Analysis)
Premature Ovarian FailurePremature Ovarian Failure (POF), syndrome observed in young woman, present consequences on hormonal and leads at definitive infertility. It's a rare and complex syndrome and for this reason, we propose to initiate a collaborative team network to understand better his genetic and physiopathology. We are going to realize a global study of this syndrome with clinical and fundamentals approaches. We wish that this project allows us to understand better the physiopathology of this rare disease. Finally, POF responsible genes identification is the base for future development of therapeutics approaches.
Early Movements as a Predictor of Future Developmental Delay
Cerebral PalsyPremature BirthCerebral Palsy (CP) is a major developmental problem. Major risk groups of CP, are preterm infants and multiple pregnancies. Previous studies using the General Movements methodology demonstrated early identification of CP, as early as 3 month of age. This method was implemented mainly on preterm infants this study goal is to enlarge the scope of the methodology to infants of multiple pregnancies. A second goal is to study early motor development and its future consequences by comparing the development of the infants of the same multiple pregnancy.
Fetal Adrenal Gland Volume Estimation Compared to Cervical Length Assessment in Prediction of Preterm...
Preterm LabourIf the investigators could prove that three -dimensional ultrasound measurement of fetal adrenal gland volume can accurately predict the likelihood of preterm birth in patients having symptoms and signs of PTL , they would be able to use it as a valuable component for assessment and early management of high risk pregnant women for PTB which can be positively reflected on the risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality in those patients.
Accuracy of 5D LB Ultrasound in Predicting Birth Weight of Preterm Fetuses : A Pilot Study
Prematurity5D and 2D ultrasound will be done for pregnant women within 72hours before preterm delivery to determine estimated fetal weight by ultrasound. The estimated fetal weight by 5D and 2D ultrasound will be compared to the actual birth weight to determine accuracy of 5D ultrasound in predicting actual birth weight .
Internal and Familial Resources and Motherhood. Follow Up of Mothers With Twins and Preterm Infants...
TwinsPreterm InfantsTo evaluate the contribution of internal and familial resources on the development of motherhood in a population of mothers having preterm twin infants and comparing this population to a population of mothers giving birth to single (or twins) full term infants.
