Here, the safety and immune response elicited by B115 strain inoculation were evaluated in pregnant ewes vaccinated at their midpregnancy.
In physiotherapeutic practice, the function of the pelvic floor muscles is evaluated in pregnant women in order to ascertain the ability of the muscles to perform muscle contraction and to identify possible dysfunctions [ 1].
The following covariates were evaluated in pregnant women: age at delivery, prepregnancy body weight, socioeconomic status [Hollingshead Index of Social Status (Hollingshead AB, unpublished data)], alcohol and cigarette consumption, fish consumption during pregnancy, and plasma Se concentration.
Although not addressed specifically in this study, the subjective change in fetal activity was perceived by mothers rather than concerns initiated by specific "alarm limits" (such as 10 kicks in 12 hours) that have not been evaluated in all pregnant women (i.e. "low" as well as "high-risk" mothers) [ 19].
Finally, these selected vaccines were evaluated in a pregnant mouse model, in which they were seen to confer good protection and to avoid the C. abortus persistence in uterus after delivery.
Several measures of adiposity were evaluated in the pregnant women in this study including BMI, waist-hip ratio (WHR), fat mass, and percent body fat.
The design is classified as phase III as these tests already have been used in clinical practice and will be evaluated in anemic pregnant women [ 23], i.e., a population under risk of iron deficiency (target disease) with formal indication of oral iron therapy in accordance with the criterion adopted by WHO (Hb < 11.0 g/dL) [ 1].
30 38 39 The intervention used in this study must be evaluated in a population of pregnant women at low risk of pre-eclampsia.
Plasma levels of sMIC were evaluated in 3 groups of pregnant women: term-matched women undergoing normal pregnancies (NP), women with a diagnostic of VPD (PE or vascular IUGR or IUFD) or with a diagnostic of non-vascular IUGR.
