Background: Infant sucking problems are frequently implicated in early weaning during breastfeeding, yet our understanding of dynamics is limited. Objective: This study aimed to describe infant patterns breastfeeding at secretory activation and determine whether they changed by the time established lactation. Methods: Sucking milk intake 15 infants were assessed on day 3.2 ± 0.8 later follow-up, 16.0 (11.3-22.8) days postpartum. Nipple diameters, tongue movement, nipple position, suck rate...
Background: Despite the differences in breastfeeding and bottle-feeding, our understanding of how suck-swallow-breathe (SSwB), oxygenation, heart rate patterns change as infant ages is based predominantly on bottle-feeding studies. Therefore, this study aimed to measure SSwB, changed during first 4 months lactation term infants. Methods: Infants less than 1 month postpartum (n = 15) were monitored early again later (2-4 postpartum). Simultaneous recordings vacuum, tongue movement,...
Background: The impact of cesarean section (CS) birth and pethidine for post-CS epidural analgesia on early breastfeeding behavior is unclear. This study aimed to measure infant sucking in infants mothers who delivered by CS (CS group) used patient-controlled (PCEA) after with that were vaginal (V group), during secretory activation again the establishment lactation. Subjects Methods: Sucking dynamics milk intake assessed approximately 3 20 (follow-up) days postpartum group, n=19; V n=15)....
Background. Vacuum is an important factor in milk removal from the breast, yet compression predominant component of bottle teats. Since bottle-feeding infants have lower oxygen saturation, vacuum levels, and different suck-swallow-breathe (SSwB) coordination to breastfeeding infants, we hypothesised that when fed a teat required threshold mmHg for removal, heart rate, patterns would be similar those breastfeeding. Study Design. Infants ( ) were monitored during one breastfeed feed...
Ankyloglossia (tongue tie) is a well-recognized cause of breastfeeding difficulties and, if untreated, can maternal nipple pain and trauma, ineffective feeding, poor infant weight gain. In some cases, this condition will result in downregulation the milk supply. Milk-production measurements (24-hour) for with ankyloglossia revealed feeding (78 mL/24 hours), low supply (350 hours) was diagnosed. Appropriate management increased (1254 but not intake (190 hours). Test weighing convincingly...
The number of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases is increasing. As such, understanding the fundamental ecology disease critical. Short-lived highly fecund amplification hosts are implicated to influence prevalence, but few empirical examples exist. We examined relationship between mouse (Mus musculus) abundance Ross River virus (RRV) incidence in northwest Victoria, Australia.We determined a biologically plausible distribution overlap M. musculus, humans, vector mosquitoes our...
Abstract Introduction Plasmodium vivax malaria remains an important threat to the public in Asia Pacific region. Preventing P. relapses is crucial for reducing morbidity from and ultimately controlling eliminating this species. Primaquine only widely available drug with antirelapse activity against dormant stages of vivax. Its widespread use clinical practice limited by its potential cause severe haemolysis patients glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Methods analysis The...
During feeding, the infant must briefly cease respiration during swallowing. This can occur mid expiration (EE), inspiration (II), between and (EI) or opposite (IE). When majority of swallows (60–75%) are followed by this is considered a mature pattern. Since milk flow rates highly variable breastfeeding we hypothesized that frequency EE IE would not comprise swallows. Simultaneous measurements tongue movement, intra‐oral pressure, swallowing breathing were made for breastfeed in 10 infants...
This study compared infant sucking and breastfeeding behaviour in infants of mothers who delivered by caesarean section (CS) received pethidine for post‐caesarean analgesia, with vaginally (V), during the period secretory activation (day 3) again after establishment lactation (follow‐up). Infant was measured ultrasound images infant's intra‐oral cavity, assessed LATCH‐R tool times to first breastfeed breast fullness were recorded. CS displayed significantly more anterior tongue movement on...
