Free oligosaccharides are abundant components of mammalian milk and have primary roles as prebiotic compounds, in immune defense, brain development. A mass spectrometry-based technique is applied to profile from apes (chimpanzee, gorilla, siamang), new world monkeys (golden lion tamarin common marmoset), an old monkey (rhesus). The purpose this study evaluate the patterns primate oligosaccharide composition a phylogenetic perspective assess extent which compositions HMOs derives ancestral...
Abstract Objectives: There is increasing evidence that breastfeeding has long‐term effects on offspring biology and health, which heightened interest in understanding the extent of variation breast milk composition its underlying determinants. Here, we report macronutrient a well‐characterized cohort young Filipino mothers test maternal predictors this variation. Methods: Morning samples, anthropometrics, dietary recalls, other interview data were collected 102 (age range 24.6–25.4 years)...
Dysphagia has been reported in up to 70% of patients with stroke, predisposing them aspiration and pneumonia. Despite this, the mechanism for remains unclear.To determine relationship between bolus flow laryngeal closure during swallowing stroke examine sensorimotor mechanisms leading aspiration.Measures were taken from digital videofluoroscopic images 90 50 healthy adults, after repeated volitional swallows controlled volumes thin liquid. Aspiration was assessed using a validated...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To compare practice patterns of the American College Obstetrician and Gynecologists (ACOG) Fellows for diagnosis treatment gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) type 1 with current ACOG recommendations prior published series. METHODS: We sent a questionnaire to 1,398 practicing Junior Fellows, 398 whom comprise Collaborative Ambulatory Research Network. Responses were evaluated by age sex assess differences in practice. RESULTS: Younger physicians more likely treat pregnant...
Lactation represents the greatest postnatal energetic expenditure for mammalian mothers, and a mother's ability to sustain costs of lactation is influenced by her physical condition. Mothers in good condition may produce infants who weigh more, grow faster, are more likely survive than mothers poor These effects be partially mediated through quantity quality milk that during lactation. However, we know relatively little about relationships between maternal condition, composition, yield,...
Humans, all great ape species, and some lesser apes consume insects. Insects can provide comparable nutritional yields to meat on a gram-for-gram basis may serve as an important source of energy, fat, protein, minerals, vitamins for hominoids. Although potential insect prey are abundant in habitats, patterns insectivory not consistent across species or populations. Efforts understand these complicated by lack data. We collected samples insects consumed the Kasekela chimpanzee community Gombe...
To understand the perceptions of residents and Fellows in obstetrics gynecology about impacts race or ethnicity, gender, mentorship experiences on pursuing careers academic medicine.Two surveys were administered: one to a sample 2,000 American College Obstetricians Gynecologists, 4,814 taking 1998 in-training examination. The questionnaires asked demographics, medicine, residents' with mentorship.Response rates 96.8% for 40.6% FELLOWS: Of residents, 26.1% indicated they would not consider...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To describe obesity prevention and treatment practices of U.S. obstetrician–gynecologists. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was mailed to 1,806 practicing members the American College Obstetricians Gynecologists (ACOG) in February-April 2005. RESULTS: Of 900 respondents who returned questionnaires, 82% reported using body mass index (BMI) assess obesity; 80% counseling patients about weight control 84% physical activity "most time" or "often." Most diet; most frequently...
This report explores aspects of developing obesity in two captive populations common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus), a small primate with short lifespan that may be value modeling chronic acquisition and its lifetime effects. Two were examined. In study 1, body composition, lipid parameters, glucose metabolic parameters measured population 64 adult animals. Animals classified as obese (>80th percentile relative fat based on sex) displayed both dyslipidemia (higher triglyceride very...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices of obstetrician–gynecologists (ob-gyns) regarding vaccination pregnant women during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. METHODS: From February to July 2010, a self-administered mail survey was conducted among random sample American College Obstetricians Gynecologists (the College) members involved in obstetric care. predictors routinely offering influenza vaccination, adjusted prevalence ratios 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were...
