Estudio sobre tratamiento con hormona de crecimiento en la Comunidad Valenciana en niños con déficit de GH y en pequeños para la edad gestacional
2014
La efectividad del tratamiento con hormona de crecimiento (GH) en niños con talla baja por déficit de la misma o por haber nacido pequeños para la edad gestacional (PEG) queda ampliamente demostrada en la bibliografía. Este aspecto ha sido muy poco estudiado en la población pediátrica de la Comunidad Valenciana; por lo que el objetivo principal de este trabajo fue investigar la efectividad de la terapia con GH en una muestra amplia de niños valencianos (456) afectos de déficit de GH (311) y/o de talla baja por PEG (145). De los resultados obtenidos, hay que destacar que el tratamiento con GH, de acuerdo al protocolo establecido por el Comité de Asesor de Hormona de Crecimiento de la Comunid…
Changes in parental smoking during pregnancy and risks of adverse birth outcomes and childhood overweight in Europe and North America
2020
Background Fetal smoke exposure is a common and key avoidable risk factor for birth complications and seems to influence later risk of overweight. It is unclear whether this increased risk is also present if mothers smoke during the first trimester only or reduce the number of cigarettes during pregnancy, or when only fathers smoke. We aimed to assess the associations of parental smoking during pregnancy, specifically of quitting or reducing smoking and maternal and paternal smoking combined, with preterm birth, small size for gestational age, and childhood overweight. Methods and findings We performed an individual participant data meta-analysis among 229,158 families from 28 pregnancy/bir…
Exposure to trihalomethanes through different water uses and birth weight, small for gestational age, and preterm delivery in Spain
2011
Background: Evidence associating exposure to water disinfection by-products with reduced birth weight and altered duration of gestation remains inconclusive. Objective: We assessed exposure to trihalomethanes (THMs) during pregnancy through different water uses and evaluated the association with birth weight, small for gestational age (SGA), low birth weight (LBW), and preterm delivery. Methods: Mother–child cohorts set up in five Spanish areas during the years 2000–2008 contributed data on water ingestion, showering, bathing, and swimming in pools. We ascertained residential THM levels during pregnancy periods through ad hoc sampling campaigns (828 measurements) and regulatory data (264 me…
Residential Exposure to Outdoor Air Pollution during Pregnancy and Anthropometric Measures at Birth in a Multicenter Cohort in Spain
2011
Background: A growing body of research suggests that prenatal exposure to air pollution may be harmful to fetal development. We assessed the association between exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and anthropometric measures at birth in four areas within the Spanish Children’s Health and Environment (INMA) mother and child cohort study. Methods: Exposure to ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and benzene was estimated for the residence of each woman (n = 2,337) for each trimester and for the entire pregnancy. Outcomes included birth weight, length, and head circumference. The association between residential outdoor air pollution exposure and birth outcomes was assessed with linear regress…
Estudio de desarrollo psicomotor en gemelos dicigóticos que recieron suplementos de progesterona natural durante el embarazo
2022
El 50% de los gemelos nacen prematuros. Para prevenir el parto prematuro, se ha demostrado que la progesterona es la herramienta más eficaz en los embarazos gemelares con cuello uterino corto. La progesterona, tanto en animales de experimentación como en humanos, induce cambios a nivel cerebral que podrían influir tanto en el comportamiento como en la inteligencia. Objetivo Estudiar si la progesterona administrada para la prevención de la prematuridad en gemelos tiene efectos sobre el comportamiento y la inteligencia. Asimismo analizaremos también otras variables epidemiológicas maternas, fetales y del recién nacido y las asociaremos con el test Raven y el CBCL. Material y métodos Se trata …
