Associations of maternal circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 concentration with pregnancy and birth outcomes

2015

Objective To investigate the association of maternal circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] concentration with pregnancy and birth outcomes. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Four geographical areas of Spain, 2003–2008. Population Of 2382 mother–child pairs participating in the INfancia y Medio Ambiente (INMA) Project. Methods Maternal circulating 25(OH)D3 concentration was measured in pregnancy (mean [SD] 13.5 [2.2] weeks of gestation). We tested associations of maternal 25(OH)D3 concentration with pregnancy and birth outcomes. Main outcome measures Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), preterm delivery, caesarean section, fetal growth restriction (FGR) and small-for-gestational…

Hysteroscopic removal of a gauze inadvertently retained in uterus for two years following caesarean section

2021

Despite the worldwide accomplishment of manual counting procedures of surgical textiles and instruments, cases of retained (forgotten) surgical items (RSIs) still occur. Gauzes are the most frequently RSIs, accounting for 90% of the cases because they are widely used. Approximately half of the cases occur in the context of general surgery procedures, fol- lowed by gynaecological – obstetrics surgery. The time inter- val between initial surgery, diagnosis and removal of the gauze is clinically relevant, as the morbidity and mortality are reduced if the foreign body is removed immediately after the offending operation. We report on a successful hysteroscopic identification and removal of a ga…

Therapeutic group psychoeducation and relaxation in treating fear of childbirth

2006

The increase in the numbers of women fearing childbirth and requesting cesarean sections call for new forms of antenatal treatment.Finnish nulliparous women experiencing severe fear of childbirth (experimental group, n = 102) attended 5 group sessions with a psychologist, once together with a midwife, during the third trimester. One session was held 3 months after the delivery. Each session consisted of a discussion of fear and feelings towards the impending birth and parenthood in a psychotherapeutic atmosphere and of relaxation exercises focused on an imaginary childbirth. The results were compared with those of 85 women treated for fear of childbirth by 2 appointments with an obstetricia…

Contraception in diabetic women: an Italian study

2005

Abstract Over 1 year, a survey on contraception and obstetric history was performed on a cohort of 667 Caucasian fertile diabetic women (446, type 1 and 201, type 2) living in Italy. Results: Of these women, 30.4% used hormonal contraceptives, 12.0% intra-uterine device (IUD), 10.7% declared they used no contraception, 47.0% only utilised barrier and/or natural methods. However, irrespective of their previous contraceptive strategy, 7.2% of all the studied population was surgically sterilized during caesarean section. Hormonal contraception: Of these women, 60.4% was prescribed by a gynaecologist, 11.2% by a diabetologist, 15% by both of them and 13.4% by others. The proportion using oral c…

Numerical approach to problems of gravitational instability of geostructures with advected material boundaries

1998

SUMMARY We present a numerical approach for solving 2-D mantle flow problems where the chemical composition changes abruptly across intermediate boundaries. The method combines a Galerkin-spline technique with a method of integration over regions bounded by advected interfaces to represent discontinuous variations of material parameters. It allows direct approximation of a natural free surface position, instead of a posteriori calculation of topography from the normal stress at the upper free-slip boundary. We formulate a model where a viscous incompressible fluid filling a square box is divided into layers (not necessarily horizontal) by advected boundaries, across which the density and vi…

Sacīkstes princips civilprocesā

2018

Maģistra darba nosaukums ir "Sacīkstes princips civilprocesā". Sacīkstes princips ir viens no civilprocesa pamatprincipiem, proti, puses savas procesuālās tiesības īsteno sacīkstes formā, un tiesa lietu izspriež, vadoties no pušu iesniegtajiem pierādījumiem un izteiktajiem argumentiem. Sacīkstes princips ir pieskaitāms pie civilprocesa kopējiem jeb vispārējiem principiem, kura uzdevums ir nodrošināt likumības un līdztiesības ievērošanu nolēmumu pieņemšanas procesā, vienlaikus garantējot tiesneša neitralitāti un objektivitāti. Maģistra darba mērķis ir noskaidrot sacīkstes principa būtību un nepieciešamību civilprocesuālajās attiecībās, kā arī izpētīt Civilprocesa likuma 93. panta ceturtās da…

Contribution to the knowledge of the mosquitoes in the Devesa of Racó de l Olla, Albufera Natural Park of Valencia (Spain)

2017

[ES] Se presenta una recopilación de los resultados de varios proyectos, desarrollados entre los años 2004 y 2015, sobre la presencia de los mosquitos de la familia Culicidae en el entorno de la Devesa y el Racó de l¿Olla del Parque Natural de l¿Albufera de Valencia (España). Se registró un total de 10 especies pertenecientes a cinco géneros (Aedes, Coquillettidia, Culex, Culiseta y Ochlerotatus), alguno de estos muy característicos de los ambientes donde fueron recolectados. Se tratan diferentes aspectos sobre la diversidad de culícidos, así como del interés ecológico y sanitario de la presencia de los mismos. Destacamos la existencia de la especie Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) en un espa…

Influencia de la agenesia dental en el desarrollo de la dentición

2016

La agenesia dental describe la ausencia de desarrollo de al menos un diente. Estudios recientes sugieren la relación entre determinados patrones de agenesia y retraso en el desarrollo dental, debido a algunos genes específicos. Existen diferentes métodos para evaluar la edad de desarrollo, por ello es difícil comparar en la bibliografía los estudios que relacionan desarrollo dental con agenesia, así mismo, existen diferentes variantes que dificultan la comparación de los diferentes estudios. Una mejora en la comprensión del desarrollo dental en estos pacientes es importante para la planificación del tratamiento de ortodoncia y proporcionar una referencia para evaluar la edad específica para…

Thermodynamic Behavior of Non-Ionic Tri-block Copolymers in Water at Three Temperatures

2006

Apparent molar volumes (V Φ) of aqueous solutions of some copolymers, based on ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) units, were determined as functions of concentration at three temperatures. Viscosity measurements were also carried out on some of these systems. The effects studied include how the molecular architecture and the molecular weight affect the aggregation of the copolymer, keeping constant the EO/PO ratio. Modeling of the volumetric data yielded the partial molar volume of the copolymer in the standard (V°) and the aggregated (V M) states, as well as the equilibrium constant for micellization and the aggregation number. Analysis of the viscosity data supported the insigh…
