Could High Volume of Physical Activities in Early Pregnancy Interfere with Deep Placentation?

چکیده
Background The impact of physical activity (PA) during pregnancy on obstetrical outcomes remains controversial. We followed pregnant women who reported more than 3 hours of sustained PA per week during the first trimester of pregnancy. Cases Total five eligible women were followed. We observed small placenta from the first trimester (median: 0.68; interquartile [IQ]: 0.62-0.97 multiples of median [MoM]) to delivery (median: 0.82; IQ: 0.71-0.94 MoM), high uterine artery pulsatility index in the first (median: 1.82; IQ: 1.68-1.99 MoM) and second trimesters (median: 1.33; IQ: 1.11-1.56 MoM) of pregnancy. Placenta pathology revealed deep vasculopathy in three (60%) cases. However, all participants delivered at term and none of them experienced preeclampsia. Conclusion This small case series suggest that high PA volume in first trimester could interfere with deep placentation.

Docosahexaenoic Acid Supplementation Early in Pregnancy May Prevent Deep Placentation Disorders
Uteroplacental ischemia may cause preterm birth, either due to preterm labor, preterm premature rupture of membranes, or medical indication (in the presence of preeclampsia or fetal growth restriction). Uteroplacental ischemia is the product of defective deep placentation, a failure of invasion, and transformation of the spiral arteries by the trophoblast. The failure of normal placentation gen...

Background: Micronutrient deficiencies have been associated with significantly high reproductive risks, ranging from infertility to fetal structural defects and long-term diseases. Materials and Methods: In this review we focus on the reproductive risks related to some micronutrients during the periconceptional period, a critical step in determining fetal development and health due to the poten...

BACKGROUND We carried out a study to examine whether left truncation bias could explain the negative association between smoking and preeclampsia. METHODS Monte Carlo and other simulation models were used to determine the effect of differential rates of early pregnancy loss among smokers on the relation between smoking and preeclampsia at ≥20 weeks' gestation. Assumptions included no associat...

This study was aimed to identify miRNAs of corpus luteum (CL) in buffaloes during pregnancy. For this study, CL (n=2) were collected from gravid uteri of buffalo and RNA was isolated. Following this, the purity and integrity of RNA was checked and used for deep sequencing using Illumina Hiseq 2500 platform. The reads’ quality was checked prior to in silico analyses viz. identification of conser...

INTRODUCTION Pre-eclampsia (PE) is the most serious syndrome of human pregnancy and it is potentially life-threatening for both mother and fetus. The aim of the study was to identify the role of high temperature requirement A1 (HtrA1) in pre-eclampsia. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred consecutive pregnancies complicated by PE and 100 normal controls were included in our study. The changes in ...
