Maternal-fetal CD4 Microchimerism in HiV Exposed Newborns After Spontaneous Delivery and Cesarean Section
The aim of this single centre study is to measure maternal CD4+ t-cells in HiV exposed Newborns after spontaneous birth in comparison to cesarean section. This may have an influence on the risk of vertical HiV transmission.

- NCT01450059
- Where
- Germany
- Volunteers
- 54 people
- Sponsor
- Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital
Maternal-Fetal Exchange
Maternal High Blood Pressure and Newborn's Blood Profile
Maternal high blood pressure remodels the intrauterine environment of the fetus by altering hormonal and cellular signaling patterns and, as a result increases the risk of fetal and neonatal mortality and morbidity.
- Trial name
- MPIHHPN (NCT03265704)
- Testing
- AGA - Control group, SGA - Control group, AGA-PIH Study group
- Where
- Romania
- Volunteers
- 6,108 people

Maternal-Fetal Exchange
Maternal Uterine Artery Doppler Study
The purpose of this study is to detect if adding resistance to maternal blood flow from the arm will help increase the blood flow through the uterine arteries to the placenta and the baby.
- Trial name
- NCT01698957
- Testing
- Any patient eligible for an Ultrasound greater than or equal to 18 weeks gestation without a fetal or uterine anomaly.
