Purpose Despite the increase in breastfeeding initiation and duration in the United States, only five states have met the three Healthy People 2010 breastfeeding objectives. Our objectives are to study women's self-reported reasons for not initiating breastfeeding and to determine whether these reasons vary by race/ethnicity, and other maternal and hospital support characteristics. Methods Data are from the 2000–2003 Arkansas Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, restricting the sample to ...

High-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is a potent inflammatory mediator and contributes to acute lung injury in adults. The role of HMGB1 in neonatal lung injury and the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is unknown. We studied the association between HMGB1 levels in tracheal aspirates (TAs) and adverse outcomes (BPD/death) in ventilated premature infants (VPIs) and modulation of HMGB1 levels with dexamethasone (Dex) use. Infants born before 32 weeks gestation and requiring mechanical ventilation ...

This was necessitated by the observation that most postgraduate students in Nigeria tend tograduate long after the stipulated time period for their programmes, indicating an apparent disparity between "whatis" and "what ought to be" in running postgraduate programmes in Nigeria. It was hypothesized that the problemsencountered delayed the timely completion of studies. Literature ...

The effects of daily intraperitoneally administered doses of 100 mg/kg bd. wt. vitamin C on levels of some endogenous antioxidants as well as hepatic and renal function were investigated in a group of rabbits infected with a strain of Trypanosoma congolense (strain number: BS2/TC/SP28/P4). Values of parameters estimated in this group during and after 5 weeks of infection were compared with those from a group of similarly infected, but vitamin-free rabbits as well as two groups of healthy rabbits, ...

Abstract Pulsed field gradient NMR (PFG‐NMR) diffusion experiments were used to investigate the binding of leucine and methionine enkephalin peptides to anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles. The study was undertaken to investigate the mechanism of interaction between enkephalin peptides and SDS micelles and to determine if NMR‐derived association constants, K eq , can predict the elution order in electrokinetic chromatography (EKC). In EKC, peptides are separated on the basis of their interactions ...

Monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A), a key brain enzyme which metabolizes monoamines, is implicated in the pathophysiology of stress-related illnesses, including major depressive disorder, addiction, and violent behavior. Chronic stressors and glucocorticoid-administration typically associate with elevated MAO-A levels/activity. However, the relationship of shorter stress or glucocorticoid exposures and MAO-A levels/activity is not well established. Our objectives are to assess effects of acute stress upon ...

Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a severe neurological disorder in young females, and is caused by mutations in the X-linked MECP2 gene. MECP2/Mecp2 gene encodes for two protein isoforms; MeCP2E1 and MeCP2E2 that are identical except for the N-terminus region of the protein. In brain, MECP2E1 transcripts are 10X higher, and MeCP2E1 is suggested to be the relevant isoform for RTT. However, due to the unavailability of MeCP2 isoform-specific antibodies, the endogenous expression pattern of MeCP2E1 is unknown. ...

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of pneumonia, meningitis, and bacteremia, estimated to cause 2 million deaths annually. The majority of pneumococcal mortality occurs in developing countries, with serotype 1 a leading cause in these areas. To begin to better understand the larger impact that serotype 1 strains have in developing countries, we characterized virulence and genetic content of PNI0373, a serotype 1 strain from a diseased patient in The Gambia. PNI0373 and another African serotype ...

Background and Purpose —African Americans suffer disproportionately higher cardiovascular disease mortality rates than do whites. Psychosocial stress influences the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a valid surrogate measure for coronary atherosclerosis, is a predictor of coronary outcomes and stroke, and is associated with psychosocial stress factors. Stress reduction with the Transcendental Meditation (TM) program decreases coronary heart disease ...

Interest in the use of medicinal plants in treatment of diseases in Africa has increased tremendously over the past decade. Ingestion of contaminated medicinal plants and herbal medicinal products is regarded as potential source of heavy metal toxicity to both man and animals. Heavy metals are often not well defined in medicine, but include all toxic metals. They are released into the environment by both natural and a variety of anthropogenic sources. The presence of heavy metals in plant tissues ...

Abstract Early notification of critical values by the clinical laboratory to the treating physician is a requirement for accreditation and is essential for effective patient management. Many laboratories automatically repeat a critical value before reporting it to prevent possible misdiagnosis. Given today’s advanced instrumentation and quality assurance practices, we questioned the validity of this approach. We performed an audit of repeat-testing in our laboratory to assess for significant differences ...

The biochemical pathways underlying major depressive disorder (MDD) and chronic stress are not well understood. However, it has been reported that monoamine oxidase A (MAO A, a major neurotransmitter-degrading enzyme) is significantly increased in the brains of human subjects affected with MDD and rats exposed to chronic social defeat (CSD) stress, which is used to model depression. In the current study, we compared the protein levels of a MAO A-transcriptional activator, Kruppel-like factor 11 (KLF11 , ...
