CONTEXT Current breast-feeding rates fall short of the recommendations set forth in Health People 2010. The Breast-feeding Attrition Prediction Tool (BAPT), administered in the postpartum period, has been useful in predicting breast-feeding attrition. However, assessing a woman's intention to breast-feed prior to birth would identify women at risk for breast-feeding attrition. PURPOSE The pur...

BACKGROUND The rate of exclusive breastfeeding in Iran is decreasing. The breastfeeding attrition prediction tools (BAPT) have been validated and used in predicting premature weaning. OBJECTIVES We aimed to translate the BAPT into Farsi, assess its content validity, and examine its reliability and validity to identify exclusive breastfeeding discontinuation in Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS Th...

INTRODUCTION Healthy People 2020 has the important goal of increasing the number of breastfed babies in the USA. The purpose of this pilot study was to explore factors that influence breastfeeding initiation and continuation among Hispanic women living in rural settings.

Like other multifactorial syndromes, the onset of bronchial asthma with psychogenic trigger (BAPT) is infl uenced by psychological stimuli, supplementary to organ-specifi c factors (allergens, viruses, bacteria, physical or chemical irritants etc.). Demonstration of psychogenic etiology was made by questionnaires applied to asthmatic patients, with respect to the stressing circumstances of asth...

Agrin is an extracellular matrix protein that directs neuromuscular junction formation. Early signal transduction events in agrin-mediated postsynaptic differentiation include activation of a receptor tyrosine kinase and phosphorylation of AChRs , but later steps in this pathway are unknown. Here, we have investigated the role of intracellular calcium in agrin-induced AChR clustering on culture...

Paclitaxel is a highly functionalized diterpenoid that broadly used for the treatment of several cancer types. This valuable specialized metabolite naturally exists in inner bark Taxus species low amounts. The limited-scale production paclitaxel cell cultures has necessitated use elicitors. Recently, methyl-?-cyclodextrin (CD) and coronatine (COR) have been considered to be effective elicitors ...
