BACKGROUND The proportion of mothers in Japan who breastfeed exclusively has been low since the 1970s. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between the time of first breastfeed after birth and the proportion of mothers fully breastfeeding up to four months postpartum. METHODS A survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire. The participants were 318 mothers ...

An increased risk of falls in the elderly is associated with decreased muscle mass and strength lower limbs. The Otago Exercise Regimen (OEP) a moderately challenging walking, flexibility, strengthening, balancing exercise regimen. Program has been demonstrated to reduce incidence individuals by improving balance muscular strength. This research sought ascertain how influenced limb older women....

Thermography is a predictive maintenance technique that can be used to identify machine breakdowns. has been widely applied, especially for monitoring purposes of thermal fluid engines and heat exchangers. This paper discusses the distribution occurs in multistage centrifugal pump system with closed flow circulation. Excessive an indicator damage system. The test was carried out on nine-stage c...

Background : Coconut water is a biological and sterile liquid. It contains a variety of electrolytes, sugars and amino acids. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of concentration and maturity of coconut water on its ability to preserve human PDL cell viability after exposure to dry time of up to 120 minutes using an in vitro cell culture model. Methods : PDL cells were obtained ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the oxidative stress response to a short duration bout of submaximal exercise in a cohort of healthy young adults. METHODS 15 apparently healthy college age males and females completed a modified Bruce-protocol treadmill test to 75-80% of their heart rate reserve. Blood samples collected immediately before (pre-exercise), immediately after,...

An experimental model of haemorrhagic hypotension was standardized using rabbits to investigate the shock lung syndrome over a period of 120 minutes. Acute hypovolaemia was induced by withdrawal of blood under anaesthesia to a mean arterial pressure of 30 +/- 5 mmHg within 10 minutes. The mean leucocyte counts and the release of lysosomal enzymes (acid phosphatase and beta-glucuronidase) in the...

Background: To evaluate the preventive effect of different exercise programs on perinatal depression and to provide practical suggestions guide maternal daily plan. Methods: Nine electronic bibliographic databases were searched from inception until 18 January 2022. Meta-analysis all data was performed using RevMan 5.4. Results: Sixteen RCTs consisting 2233 cases included. Compared women in cont...

Prolonged ventricular pacing induces T wave polarity changes that persist long after cessation of pacing. To examine how ventricular repolarization is modulated by prolonged changes in activation sequence, we studied the effect of ectopic pacing on the distribution of action potential durations (APDs) in nine isolated Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts. A contact electrode probe was used to map...

Objectives:This study used a quasi-experimental method inthe pretest-posttest to evaluate the efficacy of cognitive-existential group therapy on hopefulness in parents of children with cancer. Methods:Thirty parents (24 to 54 years old) of children with cancer were divided randomly into experimental and control groups. Both groups were assessed with Miller Hope Scale (1988), as pre-test. The...
