To evaluate whether myo-inositol supplementation, an insulin sensitizer, reduces the rate of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and lowers resistance in obese pregnant women.In open-label, randomized trial, (2 g plus 200 micrograms folic acid twice a day) or placebo (200 was administered from first trimester to delivery women (prepregnancy body mass index 30 greater. We calculated that 101 each arm would be required demonstrate 65% GDM reduction group with statistical power 80% (α=0.05)....
Objective: To evaluate whether myo-inositol supplementation may reduce gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) rate in overweight women.Methods: In an open-label, randomized trial, (2 g plus 200 μg folic acid twice a day) or placebo (200 was administered from the first trimester to delivery pregnant non-obese women (pre-pregnancy body mass index ≥ 25 and < 30 kg/m2). The primary outcome incidence of GDM.Results: From January 2012 December 2014, 220 were at two Italian University hospitals, 110...
Abstract This study aims to determine whether the prescription of a detailed lifestyle programme in overweight/obese pregnant women influences occurrence gestational diabetes (GDM), and if this kind increases adherence healthier comparison standard care. The was designed as randomized controlled trial, with open allocation, enrolling at 9–12 weeks pregnancy BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 . assigned Intervention group (I = 96) received hypocaloric, low‐glycaemic, low‐saturated fat diet physical activity...
To determine whether changes in lifestyle women with BMI > 25 could decrease gestational weight gain and unfavorable pregnancy outcomes.Women were randomized at 1st trimester to no intervention or a Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) Program including diet (overweight: 1700 kcal/day, obese: 1800 kcal/day) mild physical activity (30 min/day, 3 times/week). At baseline the 36th week filled-in Food Frequency Questionnaire.gestational gain, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, preterm delivery....
The published data to support recommendations for prevention and management of well-appearing at-risk newborns (WAARNs) early-onset sepsis (EOS) are limited.Retrospective cohort study comparing two different strategies managing WAARNs (≥ 35 weeks' gestation) during a 6-year period (Period 1, from 2005 2007; Period 2, 2009 2011). were defined as healthy-appearing neonates evaluated because risk factors EOS. Laboratory evaluation plus simplified physical examination 1) was compared with alone...
Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection can affect all human beings, including pregnant women. Thus, understanding the immunological changes induced by virus during pregnancy is nowadays of pivotal importance. Here, using peripheral blood from 14 women with asymptomatic or mild infection, we investigate cell proliferation and cytokine production, measure plasma levels 62 cytokines, perform a 38-parameter mass cytometry analysis. Our results show an increase in low density neutrophils but no...
Objective: In many Western countries breech presentation is an indication for elective Cesarean section. order to correct fetal presentation, the stimulation of acupoint BL67 by moxibustion, acupuncture or both has been proposed. Since no studies had previously carried out on populations, pregnant Italian women at 33–35 weeks gestational age carrying a fetus in were enrolled randomized, controlled trial involving active point and observation group.Methods: A total 240 gestation randomized...
Objective: To evaluate the effects of L-arginine (L-Arg) supplementation on clinical outcomes and blood pressure (BP) changes in patients with gestational hypertension. Methods: Patients hypertension proteinuria (n = 28, >300mg/24 h) those without 46) were randomized a double-blind design to receive either L-Arg (20g/500 mL intravenously daily, for 5 days followed by 4g/day orally 2 weeks) or placebo (PL). The primary outcome variable was time from randomization delivery (Latency). Automated...
Objective. To evaluate l-arginine (l-Arg) supplementation in pregnant women with chronic hypertension and its effects on blood pressure (BP) maternal neonatal complications.Methods. We enrolled 80 affected by mild referred to the High Risk Clinic of Mother–Infant Department University Modena Reggio Emilia. Each woman after obtaining oral consent was randomized receive l-Arg versus placebo thereafter submitted 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring. The primary outcome change 10–12 weeks treatment....

Study Design A prospective, observational, multicenter study was conducted woman with history of (> 22 weeks) between 2005 and June 2013, 3 Italian University Hospitals. Causes SB were previously identified after extensive investigations. Pregnant women enrolled within first trimester. The main "adverse neonatal outcome", including perinatal death, fetal growth restriction, early...

Background To evaluate the effects of L‐arginine (ARG) infusion, nitric oxide as substrate. on utero‐placental circulation at third trimester. Methods Three groups nine pregnant women each were infused i.v. with 30 g ARG, for minutes. One group served control, and two remnants composed by patients intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR‐B) or without (IUGR‐A) increased resistances in circulation.
