Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitudes towards breastfeeding among spouses of new mothers before hospital discharge, highlighting the influence of education on these attitudes.
- - Results showed that spouses had a moderate understanding of breastfeeding, with specific misconceptions identified, such as misconceptions about feeding timing and the benefits of breastfeeding for preventing rickets.
- - Findings indicate that spouses with breastfeeding education and higher academic qualifications (master’s degree or above) tended to have more positive attitudes towards infant feeding, suggesting the need for targeted educational programs for less informed spouses.

Methods: Serum bone turnover markers (BTMs), bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), type 1 procollagen N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), osteocalcin (OC), and the beta-isomerized C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (beta-CTx) were measured in 50 adult male DTC patients after 4-week suspension of levothyroxine replacement therapy and 40 matched euthyroid controls. Relationships between parameters of thyroid function (free triiodothyronine, FT3; free thyroxine, FT4; thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH) and the BTMs were studied.
