In spite of the evidence supporting importance breastfeeding during first year life, data on practices remain limited in Canada. The study aimed to examine prevalence and predictors 6-month exclusive among Canadian women.The analysis was based Maternity Experience Survey targeting women aged >or= 15 years who had singleton live births between February 2006 - May provinces November 2005 territories. main outcome World Health Organization definition.

These experiments were performed to determine the importance of cephalic-vagal stimulation in acid secretory response eating normal human subjects. Cephalic was induced by a modified sham feeding (MSF) technique, during which subjects chewed and expectorated appetizing food. The MSF compared with that gastric distention 600 ml NaCl, glucose, or In addition, we measured extent cephalic augments secretion has been stimulated simultaneously these other mechanisms. Our conclusions are as...
More than 26,000 cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) have been reported in western Africa, with high mortality. Several patients medically evacuated to hospitals the United States and Europe. Detailed clinical data are limited on course management EVD outside Africa.To describe characteristics a cluster EVD, including first (EBOV) infection acquired States.Retrospective case series.Three U.S. September October 2014.First imported identified 2 secondary critical care nurses who cared for index...
Pubertal mammary development in the rat is largely dependent upon GH and estrogen. We recently showed that insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) can substitute for inducing male rats, suggesting IGF-I mediates action. The present study investigated whether IGF-I, like GH, required estradiol (E2) to act or could both E2. effects of were tested presence absence Elvax pellets containing des(1-3) implanted into right lumbar glands sexually immature, hypophysectomized, oophorectomized female with...
We studied the effect of several doses atropine on serum gastrin and pancreatic polypeptide responses to vagal stimulation in healthy human subjects. Vagal was induced by sham feeding. To eliminate gastric acidity release, pH held constant (pH 5) acid secretion measured intragastric titration. Although a small dose (2.3 μg/kg) significantly inhibited secretory response completely abolished feeding, this enhanced response. Higher (7.0 21.0 had effects release which were similar 2.3-μg/kg...
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine whether mixing a multinutrient fortifier approximately one half the human milk fed each day for finite period after discharge improves nutrient intake and growth predominantly milk–fed low birth weight infants. We also assessed impact intervention on exclusivity feeding. METHODS. Human (≥80% feeding per day) (750–1800 g) infants (n = 39) were randomly assigned at hospital either control or an group. Infants in group discharged from...
Beta-endorphin is present in the endocrine pancreas, suggesting that endorphins may have a role islet-cell function. To evaluate this possibility, we infused synthetic human beta-endorphin intravenously healthy volunteers and insulin-dependent diabetic patients. In both groups, increased plasma glucagon concentrations, rise was accompanied by significant increase glucose concentrations. nondiabetic subjects, also insulin The threshold dose of for producing concentrations 0.005 mg--a acutely...
Studies were designed (a) to determine whether somatostatin is released into the circulation after meals in sufficient amounts regulate gastric or pancreatic islet function humans and (b) investigate possible role of pathogenesis duodenal ulcer disease.
