Assessing Sleep Efficiency Of Nulliparous Women In The Third Trimester Of Pregnancy, Ran Hu
Dissertations & Theses (Open Access)
Objectives: Pregnant women in the third trimester are more likely to experience sleep disorders, resulting in adverse effects on fetal health. This study aimed to evaluate the sleep efficiency (SE) of nulliparous women in their late pregnancy.
Methods: Data was extracted from the National Sleep Research Resource focusing on nulliparous women (n = 1,803) in their third trimester of pregnancy. The two-sample Wilcoxon test for continuous variables and the Chi-square test for categorical variables were used based on a normal SE cut-off of 0.85. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) was used to find the risk …

Stress and anxiety significantly impact the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, and in pregnancy, the subsequent maternal-fetal response can lead to poor outcomes. The objective of this study was to assess the association between psychosocial measures of pregnancy-specific anxiety and physiologic inflammatory responses. Specifically, to determine the effectiveness of the Mentors Offering Maternal Support (M-O-M-S

Digital technologies offer many opportunities to improve mental healthcare management for women seeking pre- and-postnatal care. They provide a discrete, practical medium that is well-suited for the sensitive nature of mental health. Women who are more prone to experiencing peripartum depression (PPD), such as those of low-socioeconomic background or in high-risk pregnancies, can benefit the most from such technologies. However, current digital interventions directed towards this population provide suboptimal support, and their responsiveness to end user needs is quite limited. Our objective is to understand the digital terrain of information needs for low-socioeconomic status women with high-risk pregnancies, specifically within …

Successful deliveries from patients supported by axial flow left ventricular devices have been previously reported. We present the first case of a successful pregnancy and birth in a patient with a centrifugal-flow left ventricular assist device. A 24-year-old female with methamphetamine-induced cardiomyopathy and end-stage congestive heart failure supported by a HeartWare™ ventricular assist device (Medtronic) presented two years after device implantation with an unplanned pregnancy at 11-weeks of gestation. Following a multidisciplinary evaluation by experts in advanced heart failure, maternal fetal medicine, cardiothoracic surgery, anesthesia, ethics, psychiatry, and palliative care, an advanced plan of care was established. An elective induction …
