TITLE NAME : Early Initiation of  Breastfeeding Practices  in Riyadh Region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, KSA. Author’s Name : Osama Awad Salih1  and Adam Elhag Ahmed2 Article Type : ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE  Country from : KSA DOP: 05-11-2017/ Chapter-IV/Page – 15-24 [ OCTOBER ISSUE ] Article Code : MDS-V18-I1-C4-OCT2017 [ ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE ] Status : Officially published  / Download: E-Certificate , Full Article (pdf) —————————————————————————————————————————– Abstract : Background: It is widely recognized that child feeding practices in the first two years of life directly affect the nutritional status of the children and, ultimately, impact child lifelong health. Therefore, breastfeeding is regarded as the ideal method of infant feeding that provides maximum benefits to both the infant and the mother. The assessment of breastfeeding practices and determinants are essential to make national and sub-national comparisons, to describe trends over time, identify populations at risk, target interventions, and make appropriate policy decisions for sustainable breastfeeding promotion programs. The aim of this paper is to examine the current practices on breastfeeding in Riyadh Region, of Saudi Arabia, and determine the likely factors that affect breastfeeding practices in this country. click here  Methods: A comprehensive, in-depth, health facility-based survey of mothers with infants less than 24 months of age was conducted to assess the patterns and determinants of breastfeeding. A convenient sample of 500 Saudi mothers was interviewed to recall their breastfeeding practices and attitude. The interviews included a detailed questionnaire based on the WHO (2010) infant and young child feeding assessment adapted for the case of the Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the study used the standard WHO criteria for assessing breastfeeding indicators of the targeted population. Results: The study population comprised of 54% male and 46% female children. Exclusive breastfeeding rate for up to six months was very low (2.9%). Although breastfeeding rate in general was over 90% yet, early initiation of breastfeeding was found 38% among the respondents (29% of mothers initiated breastfeeding within the first 24 hours and 23% initiated breastfeeding after the first 24 hours). Reasons reported for delayed response to early initiation of breast feeding (for the first hour) include caesarian operation, late discharge of the child from incubator, mother sickness, child sickness and to a lesser extend lack of knowledge about breastfeeding and cultural. factors (traditions). Breastfeeding initiation showed increasing trend with high mother education; mothers being not working; vaginal delivery; female child; and among infants with previous child aged 3 to 5 years. The proportion of children born in the last 24 months who were ever breastfed was found among 62% of infants while, never breastfeed children represented about 9.6% of the total sample and the reasons reported by the respondent mothers were child sickness, child refusal, no enough milk, mother sickness and body image. Conclusions : In conclusion, infant and young child feeding practices in this study were suboptimal. There is a need for ensuring that not only is appropriate national policies and legislation in place but that these are implemented and enforced. National community-based breastfeeding intervention programmes are urgently needed for the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding. More in-depth research is required to feed into the design of strategies for effective social and behavior change communication. Keywords : Breastfeeding, Early Initiation of Breastfeeding, Duration, Ever Breastfeeding, Infant feeding, Saudi Arabia.  GDE Error: Error retrieving file - if necessary turn off error checking (404:Not Found)

TITLE NAME : Effect  of  Intermittent Photic  Stimulation (IPS) on  Electroencephalogram  (EEG) of females with Premenstrual dysphoric disorders (PMDD) Author’s Name : Binu Shrestha1*, Bishnu Hari Paudel 2, Nirmala Limbu 3  & Kopila Agrawal 4. Article Type : ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE  Country from : NEPAL DOP: 05-11-2017/ Chapter-V/Page – 25-29 [ OCTOBER ISSUE ] Article Code : MDS-V18-I1-C5-OCT2017 [ ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE ] Status : Officially published  / Download: E-Certificate , Full Article (pdf) —————————————————————————————————————————– Abstract : Around seventy-five percent of women with regular menstrual cycles report unpleasant physical or psychological symptoms just before the beginning of a monthly menstrual cycle. For the majority of women, these symptoms are mild and tolerable. However, for a certain group of women, these symptoms can be disabling and may cause significant disruption in their lives and are often the reason for seeking medical treatment. Those symptoms are called as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), with the modern concept the severe form of PMS is named as premenstrual dysphoric disorders (PMDD). click here  In order to assess an effect of intermittent photic stimulation on electroencephalogram (EEG) of females with PMDD, the current study was conducted on thirty females confirmed having PMDD based on research criteria (DSM-IV). Thirty female with symptomatic PMDD were selected, based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were screened with questionnaire and research criteria (DSM-IV). After taking written consent, all the participants were explained about the procedure and anthropometric, cardiorespiratory variables were recorded followed by EEG recordings with 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 Hz frequencies of intermittent photic stimulation were done. The first phase of EEG recordings was done before menses or during the peak of symptoms reported by them and were repeated immediately after menses. EEG recordings were dissected out into its constituent frequency bands by Fast Fourier Transformation. The data of EEG power spectra were non-normally distributed and hence subjected to log transformation and statistical analysis was done. The EEG power spectra were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. Paired sample t-test was used for comparison of anthropometric variables, cardio-respiratory variables, and EEG power spectra between the premenstrual and postmenstrual recordings. The EEG power spectra of before the beginning of menstruation or during the peak of symptoms were compared with an EEG power spectra of immediately after the menses is over. There was significant (p<0.05) increase in beta activity at frontotempoparietal (F3, C3, T3 and P3) area of left hemisphere when premenstrual EEG recordings were compared with postmenstrual EEG among PMDD. Therefore the study concluded that the increased in beta activity at left hemisphere under intermittent photic stimulus among females with PMDD is indicative of the presence of anxiety, stress, insomnia, and obsessive or negative thinking. Keywords:  Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), Electroencephalogram (EEG), Intermittent photic stimulation (IPS)   Download (PDF, 990KB)

Findings show that lexical-semantic and syntactical means play the leading role in Ukraine’s image foregrounding in the world.  click here  Data testify for the fact that modern English mass media discourse abounds in lexis of negative connotation, the majority of verbs and nouns used to give an account of what is happening in Ukraine are related to conflict, corruption, politics; the only domain where Ukraine has an established and recognised positive image is culture. The researched material demonstrates high frequency use of the adverb hardly that belongs to intensifiers and has a negative meaning. Such adverbs as violently, suddenly, irredeemably add emphasis to the statement and explicitly reinforce negative evaluation. In the aspect of word formation we observe a large amount of verbs and derivatives with prefixes dis-, mis-, over-, un-, under- which all have negative meaning. Such tropes as epithets where we differentiate descriptive-evaluative epithets and occasionally-associated epithets, among the latter group we point out metaphoric, metonymic, hyperbolic epithets; metaphors (physiological, fitomorphic, morbial, military, sport, criminal, theatrical), metonymy, simile,  and syntactical figures of speech such as reiteration and syntactical parallelism are in active use in modern English mass media discourse to intensify emotional response on addressee’s part and to form Ukraine’s image. Keywords: modern English mass media discourse, Ukraine’s image verbalization, figure of speech, epithet, metaphor, metonymy, addressee.
