A residential treatment program has been developed specifically for substance-abusing pregnant and parenting women in Finland, focusing on simultaneously supporting maternal abstinence from substances the mother-baby relationship. The aims of study are to explore pre- postnatal reflective functioning its association with background factors, exposure trauma, psychiatric symptoms, interaction, child development, later foster care placement. Participants were 34 pairs living three units during...
Evidence about the effects of infertility and assisted reproduction technique (ART) on marital relationships is discrepant. Here, we examined impact ART relationships. The roles life stressors, treatment characteristics in predicting relations were also evaluated.367 couples with singleton IVF/ICSI pregnancies.379 spontaneous pregnancies. Women men assessed when child was 2 months (T2) 12 old (T3). They further reported stressful events at T2 depression pregnancy.No between-group differences...
Proanthocyanidin oligomers with different degrees of polymerization were isolated from Saskatoon berries (Amelanchier alnifolia) by means gel adsorption and normal-phase liquid chromatography. The proanthocyanidins identified using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, thiolytic degradation coupled reversed-phase results established that contain dimers through heptamers higher polymers. are essentially procyanidin type, consisting mainly...
Although twin deliveries after assisted reproduction treatment (ART) are common, the mental health of parents has scarcely been addressed. Therefore, we evaluated psychological well-being ART and spontaneously conceiving twins singletons. Furthermore, impact parity children's health-related factors on was evaluated.We conducted a prospective longitudinal questionnaire study among 91 pairs 367 singletons control 20 379 in 2nd trimester pregnancy (T1), when children were 2 months (T2) 1-year...
Abstract Maternal mental health and the contents of her representational world are important determinants early parent–child relationship. We examined, first, role prenatal postnatal depressive symptoms maternal attachment style in predicting quality mother–child interaction. Second, we analysed whether secure‐autonomous can protect dyadic interaction from negative effects depression. The participants were 59 mother–infant pairs examined during pregnancy (T1), 4–5 months postpartum (T2) when...
Persistent luminescence (PeL) materials are used in everyday glow‐in‐the‐dark applications and they show high potential for, e.g., medical imaging, night‐vision surveillance, enhancement of solar cells. However, the best performing contain rare earths and/or other heavy metal expensive elements such as Ga Ge, increasing production costs. Here, (Li,Na) 8 Al 6 Si O 24 (Cl,S) 2 :Ti, a heavy‐metal‐ rare‐earth‐free low‐cost material is presented. It can give white PeL that stays 7 h above 0.3 mcd...
BACKGROUND: The dynamics of mental health during the transition to parenthood have not been a focus research. Our prospective longitudinal study was designed reveal whether there are differences in between parents undergoing treatment with assisted reproduction techniques (ART) and those who conceive spontaneously. METHODS: Study group: 367 couples singleton ART pregnancy using their own gametes. Control 379 spontaneous pregnancy. Men women separately filled questionnaires including General...
Abstract Tannins are chemically complex plant polyphenols and only little is known of their true molecule‐specific anti‐herbivore activities. Here we will show that modern tannin chemistry able to reveal fully new types tannins in plants together with biological activities for the tannins. Most these findings relate ellagitannins, one least studied underestimated classes bioactive polyphenols.
Leaves of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and lingonberry vitis-idaea are potential raw materials for food health care products. Targeted (HPLC-DAD, HPLC-MS, GC-FID) nontargeted (1H NMR) approaches were applied to study the metabolomic profiles these leaves. Chlorogenic acid was major phenolic compound in leaves arbutin Flavonol glycosides another group phenolics [5–28 mg/g DM (dry mass)] (15–20 DM) Contents fatty acids analyzed using GC-FID. The changes metabolomics profile during season...
The composition of human milk is subject to considerable variation, but the effects maternal stress are largely unknown. We studied differences in metabolome between Finnish mothers (n = 120, secretors) with symptoms prenatal psychological distress and cortisol concentrations. Human samples acquired at 2.5 months postpartum were analyzed using targeted 1H NMR metabolomics. Self-reported scores for depression (EPDS), overall anxiety (SCL-90), pregnancy-related (PRAQ) used evaluate distress....
Treatment of 1-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-a]pyridazine-5,8-diones and -1H-pyrazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-5,10-diones with hydrazides produces corresponding acylhydrazino derivatives. In this work, ten new hydrazino derivatives were synthesized, their properties studied by 1H 13C NMR spectroscopy. These compounds exhibited several types structural variation, including ring-chain tautomerism, cis-trans isomerism respect to the substituents in pyrazole ring, (E)/(Z) rotamerism...
Synthetic hackmanites, Na8Al6Si6O24(Cl,S)2, showing efficient purple tenebrescence and blue/white persistent luminescence were studied using different spectroscopic techniques to obtain a quantified view on the storage release of optical energy in these materials. The emitter was identified as impurity Ti(3+) originating from precursor materials used synthesis, for postulated take place oxygen vacancies within aluminosilicate framework. Tenebrescence, other hand, observed function Na4(Cl,S)...
Studies have shown inverse associations between childhood social class and mortality,1 others higher mortality in children care. 2 3 However, to our knowledge, only one study has investigated care with results specific sex cause of death.3 Mortality that was than expected among boys, although related age at the time death not reported.3 In Finland, are cared for within child protection system up 18. Our interest lies whether before 18 is on basis figures general population, reflecting...
Abstract Mountain birch leaves contain large amounts of structurally variable polymeric proanthocyanidins. Their isolation procedure was enhanced by the addition liquid–liquid extractions prior to column chromatography over Sephadex LH‐20. Isolated proanthocyanidins were depolymerised acid‐catalysis in presence benzyl mercaptan or phloroglucinol order study their composition. The resulting degradation products, flavan‐3‐ols and flavan‐3‐ol adducts, analysed with reversed‐phase...
Seven new limonoids (1−7), named granatumins A−G, were isolated from seeds of an Indian mangrove (Xylocarpus granatum) collected the wetlands Krishna estuary, Andhra Pradesh. The known compounds khayasin T, tigloylseneganolide A, 6-deoxyswietenine, swietemahonolide, febrifugin gedunin, xylogranatinin, phaseic acid, (2R,3R)-3,4′,5,7-tetrahydroxyflavanone, and (E)-4-hydroxycinnamic acid also isolated. structures established on basis spectroscopic data. Granatumins A B are mexicanolides with...
