Filter by:The study aims to establish lysine requirements using the indicator amino acid oxidation (IAAO) method in women exclusively breastfeeding a single infant aged 3-4 months, and how maternal lysine needs change once infant transition to complimentary feeding at a later age of 9-10 months. Each 8-hour study day will have an assigned test lysine intake ranging from deficient to excess. The diets will be provided in a complete protein shake format, meeting all nutrient requirements except for the test lysine intake. Breath samples evaluate the indicator's oxidation to determine protein synthesis in response to lysine intake. Urine and one blood sample will be collected to assess metabolite concentrations.
The "first 1000 days of life", from conception to 2 years of life, are crucial for promoting the health of both mother and baby. During this period, a woman's diet and lifestyle play a significant role in determining the future health of the child. The perinatal period is an ideal time for regular contact with healthcare providers who can institute an intervention to encourage pregnant women to make nutritional changes to improve their health and that of their babies. Therefore, an educational program on an appropriate lifestyle during the "first 1000 days" can represent a crucial primary prevention strategy in reducing the risk of developing obesity and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) during childhood and later adulthood.
This is an open label study to investigate PK of tenapanor and AZ13792925 in breast milk of lactating female subjects.
This is a prospective, non-randomized, phase I study design evaluating the in vivo activities and expression of OCT1 and BCRP in mammary gland of lactating women at three time points postpartum.
Iron requirements increase significantly during pregnancy. Current recommendations for iron intake in pregnant and lactating women (PLW) are mainly based on factorial estimates and extrapolated from non-PLW. High-quality quantitative data on iron requirements in PLW are lacking, particularly in Sub- Saharan Africa where anaemia and infections are common. The primary objective of this study is to use the stable iron isotope technique to determine iron requirements and assess iron absorption and losses in PLW living in Kenya. In this prospective observational study, we will enrol pregnant women in the first trimester (n = 250) from a previous study cohort (n=1000) who participated in an iron absorption study at least 12 months ago and received the stable iron (Fe) isotope 57Fe. This 57Fe has now distributed and equilibrated throughout the women's body iron. Once enrolled in the present study, following Kenyan guidelines, women will receive standard prenatal care, including routine daily iron and folate supplementation. We will collect venous blood samples in each trimester and at delivery, and during the first 6 months of lactation in the mothers and infants (heel prick samples). To directly assess dietary iron absorption, in a randomly selected subset of women (n=35), oral and intravenous stable iron isotope tracers (54Fe, 58Fe) will be administered in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters.
The objective of this study are to evaluate efficacy and safety of milk secretory supplement containing fenugreek, banana flower, and ginger extract in breast-feeding volunteers
This study was planned as a randomized controlled study to examine the effect of music practice and Marmet Technique on lactation and maternal anxiety in mothers with premature babies in the neonatal intensive care unit.The research will be carried out with 32+0 and 36+6 weeks old preterms hospitalized in the Suleyman Yalçin City Hospital NICU.It will be held between January and December 2022 with mothers of premature babies born by cesarean section between weeks of gestation.The research will be carried out with three groups as music,Marmet Technique and control group.The sample number was calculated using the G*Power program and the music group:22,the Marmet Technique:22,and the control group: 22 (n=66).It is planned to collect the data with the Introductory Information Form, the Breast Milk Follow-up Form, the State Anxiety Scale and the Maternal Satisfaction Evaluation Scale.Post-op with mothers on day 8-12. Information about the research will be given by meeting between hours and written and verbal consent will be taken.Randomization will be applied to the mothers who accepted the study.During the study,all mothers will be informed that music and Marmet Technique will be performed at 11:00 and 17:00, 2 sessions a day for 4 days,starting from the post-op day 1,and then the milking process will be performed,and the mothers will be provided to come to the breastfeeding room at the specified times.The State Anxiety Scale will be filled in by the mother,and then the music will be played for 15 minutes.In the 16th minute,milking will be performed manually by the researcher and the milking process will take at least 15 minutes.After the milking process,the mother will fill the State Anxiety Scale again.In the Marmet Technique group,the State Anxiety Scale will be filled first by the mother,and then massage and milking will be performed for 20-30 minutes in accordance with the protocol of the technique.After the milking process,the mother will fill in the State Anxiety Scale again.No application will be made to the control group. Breast milk will be provided manually by the researcher for at least 15 minutes.The data of the research will be evaluated using the SPSS program.In the evaluation of the data;descriptive statistics will be done with One Way Analysis of Variance Kruskal Wallis H Test.In order to determine the difference in milk amounts between groups,repeated measure covariance analysis will be applied.
Primiparous mothers after cesarean section often encounter insufficient milk production during breastfeeding. This study was planned as a randomized controlled study to examine the effect of acupressure and back massage on lactation in cesarean deliveries. The research will be carried out between July 2021 and July 2023 with mothers who had a cesarean section at Kocaeli University Research and Application Hospital and Health Sciences University Derince Training and Research Hospital. The research will be carried out with three groups as acupressure, back massage and control group. The sample number was calculated using the G*Power 3.1.9.2 program and the acupressure group: 24, the back massage group: 24, and the control group: 24. In order to increase the analysis power, the number of samples was increased by 25% and n=30 for each group (acupressure group: 30, back massage group: 30, and control group: 30). It is planned to collect the data with the Introductory Information Form, the Newborn Follow-up Form, the Mother's Follow-up Form, and the Visual Analogue Scale by which the Mothers Evaluate Lactation Onset Symptoms. The mothers will be given acupressure 4 minutes acupressure group, back massage group 3 minutes back massage, and no application will be made to the control group, once in the post-op 0th day, 2 times in the post-op 1st day and once in the post-op 2nd day. 15 minutes after the applications, the baby will be weighed while hungry and will be breastfed under the control of the researcher. Babies will be weighed again after breastfeeding. The data of the research will be evaluated using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 20.0 program. In the evaluation of the data; descriptive statistics will be given as percentage, arithmetic mean±standard deviation, median and minimum-maximum values, independent two-sample t-test for normally distributed variables and Mann-Whitney U test for non-normally distributed variables. Repeated measure covariance analysis will be applied to reveal the difference between the milk amounts of the mothers between the groups. Statistical significance level will be accepted as p<0.05.
Background: While caesarean sections are increasing, breast-feeding rates are decreasing. It is important to implement supportive programs to ensure mothers breast feed for the desired period and infants are fed by only mother's milk. Aim: In the research, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of lactation management models on mothers' breastfeeding process following a caesarean section. Methods: The research was conducted as a randomized controlled study and experimentally. Before implementation, Lactation Management Model was developed. Data collection was performed during gestation, first day after postpartum, pre-discharge, on 9th day in face to face interview and in the form of monthly phone interviews up to 6 months. While the experimental group exercised lactation management model, control group received routine lactation practices in clinic. Conclusions: Among the females in the experimental group, it was found that breastfeeding self-efficacy were higher, and breastfeeding techniques were accurate and successful and breastfeeding only and continuity rates were higher while breastfeeding related breast problems developed less frequently. Lactation management model should be used and expanded to increase breastfeeding rates. Keywords: Cesarean section, breastfeeding, mother milk, lactation management model, breastfeeding training
