Abstract:
Background: Sleep has a complex nature that is thought to make it a risk factor for many health concerns, which have recently included poor pregnancy outcomes. Aim: Studying the association between sleep and poor pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women. Methods: To achieve this aim, several studies were done. First, the literature was searched to examine and critically evaluate the quality of current evidence in regards to sleep and pregnancy outcomes. Second, the latent complex nature of sleep was defined using latent class analysis and the UKHLS data set before examining the association between

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background Fetal growth restriction (FGR), also known as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), is a common complication of pregnancy that has been associated with a variety of adverse perinatal outcomes. There is a lack of consensus regarding terminology, etiology, and diagnostic criteria for FGR and neonatal outcomes, with uncertainty surrounding the optimal management and timing of delivery for the growth-restricted fetuses. An additional challenge is the difficulty in differentiating between the fetus that is constitutionally small and fulfilling its growth potential a

Abstract:
Background: Perinatal mental illness, especially depression, is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in high-income countries. In the United Kingdom (UK), mental illness commonly presents to and is treated at primary care level; however there are no up-to-date estimates of the burden of different mental illnesses in women in and around pregnancy. The potential impact of mental illness with or without psychotropic medication on the risk of non-live pregnancy outcomes is unclear. In this context, the safety of psychotropic drugs, especially antidepressants, remains controversial.

Abstract:
Excerpt: The study by Linna et al1 posited that “eating disorders appear to be associated with several adverse perinatal outcomes, particularly in offspring.” The adverse outcomes included anemia, slow fetal growth, premature contractions, and perinatal death. However, this conclusion cannot be supported by the data because the authors failed to correct the standard value of P = .05 to account for the large number of hypothesis tests. This leads to what is known as type 2 error and causes a hypothesis to be accepted that is actually false.

The prevalence of opioid use has increased in many populations including pregnant women, which has led to a substantial rise in infants born dependent on opioids due to in utero exposure.

With increasing legalization and changing perception of marijuana, it has become one of the most commonly used substances during pregnancy.

Abstract:
Simulation using computerized patient mannequins may be a useful mechanism to teach safe and effective nursing care, thus improving the quality of education for nurses. As nursing program enrollments grow, clinical placement is becoming more difficult and may not offer consistent learning opportunities that reinforce safe and effective nursing practice. This study applied Ford, Smith, Weissbein, Gully, and Salas' (1998) model of learning transfer as the theoretical framework to design a simulated obstetric clinical learning experience to augment the current clinical practice model, an approach

Abstract:
Aim: To measure fetal cardiac output prior to labour and assess the risk of adverse obstetric and neonatal outcome in singleton pregnancies with appropriately grown for gestational age (AGA) fetuses at term. Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted at Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital, London UK. Fetal cardiac output and fetal cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) was measured within 72 hours before birth in 200 nulliparous women having singleton pregnancies with AGA fetuses. Scan details were not available to the clinicians and delivery was managed per the local protocol and

Abstract:
The first part of this thesis is a narrative synthesis of the literature that examines mindfulness and child outcomes across the perinatal period. A total of 13 studies met inclusion criteria and were discussed in relation to two categories: studies that explored dispositional mindfulness and studies that explored the feasibility and/or effectiveness of mindfulness interventions. The review highlighted evidence that suggests that dispositional prenatal mindfulness may be naturally protective against the development of psychopathology during the perinatal period. Intervention studies provide pr

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] Periodontal disease is a common and underdiagnosed disease in humans that may have adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effects of periodontal disease in pregnancy by means of two observational human studies and the development of animal models of fetal and uterine exposure to periodontopathic bacteria and lipopolysaccharide. I performed a prospective study examining the rates of preterm birth, small for gestational age neonates and neonatal inflammation in 277 women who had undergone a detailed antenatal periodontal examinat
