Sort:  Alphabetical  |  Sub-Categorical

    Clinical Trial

    Scientific tests of the effectiveness and safety of a therapeutic agent using consenting women and their families.

    Database

    Means to collect, interpret, share and rigorously protect critical data about pregnancy, birth and childhood in the province.

  • Analysis of the effect of growth curve on outcome
  • Discordant growth – which curves? What cut-off?
  • Fetal Bladder Extrophy: Case series and review of the literature
  • Fetal growth patterns in twin compared with singleton pregnancies
  • Should we use twin- or singleton-based growth charts to diagnose IUGR in twin pregnancies?
  • Sonographic predictors of adverse outcome in pregnancies complicated by late IUGR
  • The association between IUGR and preeclampsia in twin pregnancies
  • The Outcome of Fetal Reduction and Termination of Pregnancy by Kcl
  • The predictive value of 50g-glucose challenge test in twin compared with singleton
  • The predictive value of albumin-creatinine ratio for proteinuria in women with kidney disease and suspected preeclampsia
  • Which curves/cutoff should define SGA? Placental pathology-based

    New Technology

    Technologies are constantly in development to help women and babies stay healthy, better diagnose pregnancy disorders, treat illness, and provide a better quality of life for families.

  • Genome wide and gene-specific epigenetic modifications in ART pregnancies
  • Primary isolated maternal endothelial cells as a new tool in investigating endothelial dysfunction in preeclampsia
  • Which curves/cutoff should define SGA? Placental gene-expression
