NCT06405984
The Lumerah System, developed and manufactured by Raydiant Oximetry, Inc., is a non-invasive fetal pulse oximeter that measures fetal arterial oxygen saturation using safe, non-invasive, transabdominal near-infrared spectroscopy. The Lumerah System is intended as an adjunct to cardiotocography. In this study, women in labor will also be simultaneously monitored with a re-engineered version of the previously approved transvaginal oximeter sensor connected to a Nellcor N-400 fetal oximetry monitor for the purposes of device development. The data obtained from the transabdominal sensor and the transvaginal sensor will be used for research purposes only and will not be used to guide or alter patient management.
NCT06646835
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of stress ball application on anxiety and fetal heart rate in risk pregnant women before cesarean section. Women with risk pregnancies randomly assigned to intervention (n=44) and control (n=44) groups in a faculty hospital in Turkey will be included in the study. Pregnant women in the intervention group will be instructed how to use the stress ball in the obstetrics ward before cesarean section. During the practice, pregnant women will be asked to demonstrate the movements of tightening and loosening the stress ball to ensure correct use. It will be emphasized to the pregnant women that they should squeeze the ball once after counting to three, inhale when they squeeze the ball, exhale when they loosen their grip and focus only on the ball. Pregnant women in the control group will not receive any intervention other than routine general care. Data will be collected face-to-face by the researcher based on the self-reports of the pregnant women before cesarean section.

This project is split into 4 sections: 1. Can improvements be made in the Magnetic resonance imaging sequences used to image the fetus in order to improve diagnostic accuracy? 2. Does 3T improve the quality and diagnostic value of fetal MRI when compared to 1.5T 3. Can fetal MRI be used to image the fetal heart? 4. Can fetal MRI be used to image the fetal Bones?
NCT06456645
Maternal smoking during pregnancy although it is known to be associated with fetal growth restriction, it's effect on postpartum breastfeeding is not yet clear. The aim of the present study was to examine the impacts of smoking in pregnancy on breastfeeding as well as its impacts on placental immunoreactivity.

Perinatal asphyxia is a crucial reason for neonatal and childhood morbidity and death. Fetal and neonatal acidemia can be utilised as predictors for establishing such risk. Several researches have reported a marked relation between low values of fetal pH with short- and long-term adverse neonatal outcomes. Umbilical cord blood gas studies (UCGS) are considered critical data that gives an objective and certified evaluation of the oxygenation and metabolic status of the fetus. Before birth, the physician can evaluate fetal wellness through cardiotocography and prenatal ultrasound. Other studies had examined the role of fetal Doppler indices before birth and proposed that fetuses with lower impedance in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) or low cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) are at increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcome. However, no research has ever evaluated the possibility of a correlation between ultrasonographic fetal evaluation and fetal umbilical cord pH as a predictor of pre-delivery fetal pH. The goal of our study was to discovered a potential association between the venous umbilical ph cord blood at delivery and the ultrasonographic feto-maternal doppler indices in patients with a scheduled nonlaboring term singleton caesarean deliveries (SCD), this research is a novel finding.

Ultrasound is one of the most important tools in pregnancy both for its diagnostic capacity, but also because it is not invasive. For physiological pregnancy, the Italian guidelines provide for the execution of 3 ultrasounds: one in the first trimester (between 11 and 14 weeks), one in the second trimester (between 20 and 22 weeks) and one in the third (between 30 and 36 weeks). weeks). Screening for cardiac abnormalities is done during second trimester ultrasound, also called structural ultrasound. However, the development of three-dimensional (3D) sonography has represented a dramatic shift in obstetrics as it allows for the acquisition of a volume of data rather than conventional planar or 2D scans. This method has allowed considerable progress in the study of the fetus in the initial stages of development and has opened new windows in the knowledge of anatomical malformations at an early age. The possibility of detecting structural anomalies already during the first trimester of pregnancy allows, in fact, to provide the patient with additional time for counseling and for any genetic tests.
NCT04366076
BACKGROUND: The physiological function of fetal hiccups and its correlation with fetal well-being is unexplored. No previous study examines the correlation between the maternal perception of the fetal hiccups and the antepartum cardiotocography. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation between the fetal hiccups and antepartum computerised cardiotocography parameters, in nonlaboring term singleton pregnancies.

This study will be conducted to show the effect of different degrees of maternal iron deficiency anemia on fetal hemodynamics and neonatal outcome and to evaluate the effect of treatment.
