Preventing weight gain in adults who emotionally eat: An open pilot.

Background: Weight gain prevention is a critical component of comprehensive obesity care. Emotional eating may contribute to unwanted weight gain, increasing cardiometabolic risk factors among adults with obesity. One way to help reduce emotional eating and reduce weight gain is to provide instruction in Appetite Awareness Training (AAT).

Parenting Practices to Prevent Childhood Obesity Among Hispanic Families: A Systematic Literature Review.

Childhood obesity disproportionately affects Hispanic families and remains an unresolved public health concern. Interventions to enhance health-related parenting practices may be a promising strategy to lower the risk for childhood obesity. However, there are scarce data on which parenting practices would be culturally relevant and contribute to lower the risk for childhood obesity among Hispanic families in the United States.

Exploring the Association between Educational Aspirations and Intentions to Migrate among Youth in Central Mexico by Gender.

We assessed the association between educational aspirations and the intention to migrate among 1,446 adolescents aged 11-17 years, living in semi-urban/rural communities in Jalisco, Mexico. Analyses rely on survey data from the Family Migration and Early Life Outcomes study. The outcome variable was the intention to migrate, a three-category variable coded as no intention to migrate, intention to migrate within Mexico, and intention to migrate internationally.

Diet Outcomes from a Randomized Controlled Trial Assessing a Parenting Intervention Simultaneously Targeting Healthy Eating and Substance Use Prevention among Hispanic Middle-School Adolescents.

Parents play a significant role in adolescent health behaviors; however, few nutrition interventions for Hispanic adolescents involve parents. This study assessed the effects of a 10-week parenting intervention simultaneously targeting nutrition and substance use prevention. Hispanic parent/6th-8th-grade adolescent dyads (n = 239) were randomized to Families Preparing the New Generation Plus (FPNG+; nutrition/substance use prevention), FPNG (substance use prevention only), or Realizing the American Dream (RAD; academic success control).

The Association Between Maternal Employment and Breastfeeding Duration With Household Income in Mexico.

Background: Breastfeeding offers the best nutrition during the first months of life. Scholars have identified a dose-response association between breastfeeding duration and reduced risk for child morbidity and mortality. In upper-middle-income countries, including Mexico, maternal employment has been negatively associated with breastfeeding duration.

Association Between Breastfeeding and Child Overweight in Mexico.

Background: Globally, the prevalence of child overweight has increased over the past few decades. The largest burden of child overweight is identified among upper-middle-income countries, such as Mexico. Breastfeeding has been identified as one of the key affordable and modifiable maternal health behaviors protecting against child overweight.

Comparison of streptozotocin-induced diabetes at different moments of the life of female rats for translational studies.

Animal models are widely used for studying diabetes in translational research. However, methods for induction of diabetes are conflicting with regards to their efficacy, reproducibility and cost. A comparison of outcomes between the diabetic models is still unknown, especially full-term pregnancy.

Association Between Breastfeeding and Child Stunting in Mexico.

Background: Globally, the prevalence of child stunting has been decreasing over the past decades. However, in low- and middle-income countries such as Mexico, stunting is still the most prevalent form of undernutrition affecting a large number of children in the most vulnerable conditions. Breastfeeding has been identified as one of the key affordable and modifiable maternal health behaviors protecting against child stunting.

Antibiotic resistance and molecular analysis of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from cow's milk and dairy products in northeast Brazil.

This work aimed to assess the clonal distribution among 94 strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from cow's milk, raw cheese, and a milking machine in 12 dairy farms in northeast Brazil, by analyzing different typing methods and detecting resistance and toxigenic profiles. For the first time, isolates of this region were assessed simultaneously by the polymorphism of the 3'-end coa gene and 16S-23S rDNA, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, antibiotic resistance phenotyping, and toxigenic arsenal. Although pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns showed a wider variation (discriminatory index 0.

Intravaginal glyceryl trinitrate and dinoprostone for cervical ripening and induction of labor.

Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravaginal administration of glyceryl trinitrate plus dinoprostone versus dinoprostone, for cervical ripening and induction of labor.

Study Design: A prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial was conducted among 196 singleton low-risk nullipara women with term pregnancies and unfavorable cervices who were randomly assigned to receive intravaginal glyceryl trinitrate plus dinoprostone or placebo plus dinoprostone. The main outcome variables were time from application to active phase of labor and to delivery.

[Corticosteroid therapy for patients with HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count)].

Objective: To evaluate the influence of the therapy with high-dose corticoids on the clinical and laboratory evolution of HELLP syndrome.

Study Design: We reviewed all the cases of pregnancy complicated with HELLP, admitted to the Garcia de Orta Hospital from 1993 to 2000. We compared the patients without corticosteroid therapy or with a standard corticosteroid regimen for promotion of fetal lung maturation--group 1, with the patients who received dexamethasone (10 mg intramuscular every 12 hours)--group 2.

[Thrombasthenia of Glanzmann. Vaginal hysterectomy treated with recombinant factor VIIa].

In the present article, regarding a clinical case of Thrombasthenia of Glanzmann with severe anaemia by menometrorrhagia, the authors propose the vaginal hysterectomy and the administration of the recombinant factor VIIa on the immediate pre and postoperative as effective therapeutical alternatives.
