C*Steroid Study

PROTECT Me Study

Antenatal Melatonin Supplementation in Fetal Growth.

ELLA Study

The Early Learning Lab, Auckland (ELLA) is a research group led by Associate Professor Annette Henderson at the University of Auckland, School of Psychology. Our research focuses on understanding how babies, toddlers and young children understand the world around them and learn to work with others.

PRECeDe Study

Alma

Antenatal corticosteroids effect on Lactation and MAternal-Infant health), an observational cohort study investigating if antenatal corticosteroids given before planned caesarean section at or close to term can influence the composition of breastmilk and the regulation of a hormone, called cortisol, in the mother and baby after birth.

BEAD

Baby head elevation device at fully dilated caesarean section

FTDGeNZ

The New Zealand Genetic Frontotemporal Dementia Study (FTDGeNZ) is an emerging longitudinal study of a large New Zealand pedigree with genetic frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Natural history studies of genetic FTD cohorts provide a unique opportunity to identify biomarkers of pre-symptomatic dementia, as carriers can be identified and studied decades before expected symptom onset.

Mi-Labour

Mifepristone versus placebo to increase the rate of spontaneous labour in people with a prior caesarean: A double blind randomised controlled trial

FIIX

The FIIX Study is a clinical trial comparing the two main fertility procedures available through public funding in Aotearoa New Zealand – The Fertility and In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI) trial in couples with uneXplained infertility.

SNAPP

In New Zealand, Pacific Island peoples are over-represented in those with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The reasons for this remain unclear. The ‘hunger’ hormone ghrelin is known to protect against cardiovascular disease, in part, by silencing the ‘sympathetic’ nerves that stress cardiovascular system. The purpose of our study is to test whether ghrelin is lower in Pacific Island peoples and could explain their increased cardiovascular disease risk. It is hoped that our work will pave the way for future studies targeting ghrelin to safely lower cardiovascular disease risk.

STRIDER

STRIDER stands for Sildenafil TheRapy In Dismal prognosis Early onset intrauterine growth Restriction. The STRIDER NZAus trial aims to determine whether sildenafil therapy can improve the growth of babies affected by severe, early-onset growth restriction while they are still in the womb.

TGA Study (stats analysis)

Sleep and Breast Cancer

Seaweed

The SEAWEED study is investigating if minimally processed seaweed, as an ingredient in whole foods, has the potential to become an acceptable source of dietary protein and other micronutrients for human nutritional requirements.

NPACT

A digital Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and education intervention
to reduce stress for parents and caregivers with preterm babies in NICU: a
randomised trialInvestigating whether giving two corticosteroid injections to women with diabetes during the week before a planned Caesarean section can help to reduce the risk of breathing problems in their newborn babies.

Gutbugs

Researchers in the Gut Bugs trial wanted to examine the effectiveness of lean donor gut microbiome transfer (GMT) using encapsulated faecal material for the treatment of obesity in adolescents.

Te Tohu Waihonga

Aotearoa New Zealand Clinical Practice Guideline for Neonatal Hypoglycaemia

ARM Trial

A large-scale biobanking project in which tissue for histology and RNA analysis is collected from women at risk for stillbirth. Samples will be collected and categorized by week of gestation, maternal ethnicity, smoking status, diabetesstatus and foetal sex. Histologic samples will be assessed for standard parameters and RNA expression determined for placental Corticotropin Releasing Hormone, placental progesterone and placental oestrogen.
