Filter by:H1: "Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Status" is higher in mothers who received postnatal hospital-based breastfeeding group training compared to the control group receiving routine care. H2: The level of knowledge obtained according to the "Pre-test Post-test Question Form" in mothers who received postnatal hospital-based breastfeeding group training is higher than before the education. H3: The status of starting and successfully continuing breastfeeding is higher in mothers who received postnatal hospital-based breastfeeding group training compared to the control group who received routine care.
In France, one couple in eight encounters difficulties to conceive. The diagnosis of infertility frequently leads to symptoms of anxiety and depression. These symptoms appear to be higher than in the general population. Some recent studies have looked at the relationship between anxiety and depression in ART cares. Results are controversial, but it appears that patients with lower levels of anxiety and depression have higher pregnancy rates. Moreover, in couple, women seem to have more symptoms of anxiety and depression than men. First epidemiological studies related to the COVID 19 pandemic have shown strong psychological impact on the general population with an anxiety rate estimated at more than 30%. With COVID 19 pandemic and cessation of ART, it is highly likely that psychic symptoms of anxiety or even depression may have appeared or worsened in women undergoing infertility treatment.
Background: Nickel is a silvery metal widely used in nature and contained in many foods. Exposure to nickel is responsible for two different types of adverse reactions: Allergic Contact Dermatitis (DAC) and Systemic Nickel Allergy Syndrome (SNAS). The latter is characterized by the presence of extra-cutaneous manifestations, in addition to the skin lesions of the DAC, related to the introduction of nickel-containing foods. Therefore, a nutritional intervention is essential to reduce the symptoms of SNAS. Currently in the literature there are no nutritional guidelines on the treatment and management of patients suffering from SNAS and often the indications provided to patients involve the exclusion of groups of foods for prolonged periods, with the consequent risk of developing nutritional deficiencies and malnutrition. Objectives: to evaluate the efficacy of dietary indications, developed on the most recent scientific evidence, useful for the management of the symptoms associated with adverse reactions to Nickel. Provide practical indications to specialist staff in multidisciplinary patient management and make the patient aware of his problem and help him understand how to manage it independently. Target population: subjects over the age of 18, female, belonging to the U.O. Occupational Medicine Allergology Section at ICS Maugeri of Pavia, with previous diagnosis of Nickel allergy (patch test) and with the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms related to allergy.
A Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI) study to evaluate the effects of itraconazole and rifampin on the Pharmacokinetics of Segesterone Acetate and Ethinyl Estradiol from the Annovera Contraceptive Vaginal System (CVS)
Introduction: Strength training (ST) is an important non-pharmacological means to reduce blood pressure (BP). Objective: To verify the pressure response of women after 8 weeks of ST. Method: Fourteen women were divided into young group (YG) and middle age (MAG) and submitted to ST for 8 weeks, lasting 60 minutes in 11 alternating exercises per segment with intensity of 12 to 13 on the subjective perception scale of effort. BP was verified at weeks 1, 4 and 8.
H0: Preconceptional preparatory training period between pregnancies with and without women is no difference in terms of changes in health behavior. H1: Preconceptional preparatory training period between pregnancies with and without women there is a difference in terms of changes in health behavior.
The purpose of this trial is to examine the effects of a novel, orally consumed dietary supplement (composed of naturally occurring components) on weight management and metabolic rate in individuals who are overweight or obese following a 12-week supplementation period. The investigator's primary outcome will be changes in body composition measured via dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), which will measure changes in fat and lean mass during the supplementation period. Another primary objective will be to determine whether or not the body mass index (BMI) changes during the supplementation period. A secondary objective of the study is to determine whether anthropometric measurements (waist-to-hip ratio) is altered following the supplementation period. Another secondary objective of this study is to determine whether metabolic rate (as measured in VO2 consumption at rest and during exercise) is changed following the supplementation period. Another secondary objective is to determine whether blood pressure (systolic and diastolic pressure, measured in mm Hg) and physical function (measured via VO2peak in mL/min/kg-1 and leg strength in kilograms) change when the supplement is administered over a 12-week period. Another secondary objective will determine how glycemic control, blood markers of inflammation and cholesterol are affected by this intervention.
Family planning and the use of contraceptive methods are of the main strategies to reduce maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, because they can prevent unplanned pregnancies, teenage pregnancies and abortions in dangerous conditions. It is also a tool that contributes to development as it improves children's health, improves access to early childhood education, empowers women and contributes to reducing poverty as it improves economic conditions. Currently the use of modern contraceptive methods has increased worldwide, in Latin America and the Caribbean the use of modern contraceptive methods has remained at 66.07% from 2008 to 2015. However, the number of women who do not want to get pregnant and that do not use a contraceptive method is still high - 214 million women of childbearing age in developed countries. In our country according to the ENDES 2016 survey, the number of women who used a contraceptive method decreased by 0.7 percent compared to 2012, of which 54.3 percent used some modern contraceptive method and 21.9 percent some method traditional. The unmet demand for family planning in 2016 was 6.0%, affecting mainly women from the lowest poverty quintile (7.4%) and those living in rural areas (6.8%). Of the women who were surveyed and did not use a contraceptive method, 80.6% did not talk about family planning either at home or in a health facility in the last 12 months. Only 16.3% of non-users were women who attended a health facility and received information on family planning. Through this study the investigators propose the design and evaluation of an interactive platform to promote modern contraceptive methods.
This is a Phase I single-center, two-arm, open-label, randomized study in healthy HIV-negative women to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and bleeding patterns associated with 90-day use of matrix vaginal rings containing 200 mg Dapivirine and 320 mg Levonorgestrel.
CWRU Research Study: Looking for grandmothers living with grandchildren, 18 years of age or younger, to take part in a study to compare methods of dealing with the stress of caregiving to grandchildren. Participants need to have daily access to a computer, complete four surveys online, and be willing to write in a journal every day for a month. Participants will be compensated for their time.
