Zwitterionic PMCP‐Modified Polycaprolactone Surface for Tissue Engineering: Antifouling, Cell Adhesion Promotion, and Osteogenic Differentiation Properties

Xingyu Chen, Zaifu Lin, Ying Feng, Hong Tan, more

Small > 15 > 42 > n/a - n/a

Biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) has been widely applied as a scaffold material in tissue engineering. However, the PCL surface is hydrophobic and adsorbs nonspecific proteins. Some traditional antifouling modifications using hydrophilic moieties have been successful but inhibit cell adhesion, which is not ideal for tissue engineering. The PCL surface is modified with bioinspired zwitterionic...

Lactation and maternal risk of diabetes: Evidence from the Mexican Teachers' Cohort

Mónica Mazariegos, Eduardo Ortiz‐Panozo, Dalia Stern, Teresita González de Cosío, more

Maternal & Child Nutrition > 15 > 4 > n/a - n/a

One postpartum behaviour that may be protective against diabetes is lactation due to its potential role in resetting maternal metabolism after pregnancy. However, the role of lactation in maternal risk of diabetes has not been investigated in Latin American populations, where rates of breastfeeding are suboptimal and diabetes incidence is increasing. Therefore, our aim was to estimate the association...

Maternity or parental leave and breastfeeding duration: Results from the ELFE cohort

Blandine Lauzon‐Guillain, Xavier Thierry, Corinne Bois, Marie Bournez, more

Maternal & Child Nutrition > 15 > 4 > n/a - n/a

Previous studies have shown a high level of noncompliance with recommendations on breastfeeding duration, especially in France. The objective was to describe the association between breastfeeding initiation and duration and the statutory duration of postnatal maternity leave, the gap between the end of legal maternity leave and the mother's return to work, and maternal working time during the first...

The association between baby care books that promote strict care routines and infant feeding, night‐time care, and maternal–infant interactions

Victoria Harries, Amy Brown

Maternal & Child Nutrition > 15 > 4 > n/a - n/a

Baby care books that promote strict infant care routines are popular, but little research has considered their impact upon maternal infant care behaviours. We explored whether mothers who have read these books guide their infant care behaviours based on their concepts and how this is associated with infant feeding, night‐time care, and response to infant's needs. Three hundred and fifty‐four U.K....

Greater household food insecurity is associated with lower breast milk intake among infants in western Kenya

Joshua D. Miller, Sera L. Young, Godfred O. Boateng, Shadrack Oiye, more

Maternal & Child Nutrition > 15 > 4 > n/a - n/a

Household food insecurity has been hypothesized to negatively impact breastfeeding practices and breast milk intake, but this relationship has not been rigorously assessed. To generate an evidence base for breastfeeding recommendations among food‐insecure mothers in settings where HIV is highly prevalent, we explored infant feeding practices among 119 mother–infant dyads in western Kenya at 6 and...
