This study looks at how well the heart relaxes and fills with blood (diastolic function) in newborns born at 35 weeks or later. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure heart function in 216 babies shortly after birth and again in infancy. The goal is to create normal reference…

This study looks at how being physically active during pregnancy might influence the placenta's health and function. Researchers will collect samples and health data from 40 pregnant women to see if activity levels are linked to better energy production in the placenta. The goal …

This observational study compares levels of miRNA and FGF21 in the first trimester between pregnant women who later develop gestational diabetes and those who do not. Researchers aim to see if these substances can predict the condition. The study involves 160 women and uses blood…

This study follows 1,304 healthy rural Indian children aged 8-10 to see how their growth, bone strength, and muscle health change over time. Researchers want to understand how nutrition and family health history affect these changes. The goal is to find ways to improve health for…
