Rooming-in for new mother and infant versus separate care for increasing the duration of breastfeeding.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
August 2016
Background: Mother-infant proximity and interactions after birth and during the early postpartum period are important for breast-milk production and breastfeeding success. Rooming-in and separate care are both traditional practices. Rooming-in involves keeping the mother and the baby together in the same room after birth for the duration of hospitalisation, whereas separate care is keeping the baby in the hospital nursery and the baby is either brought to the mother for breastfeeding or she walks to the nursery.

To give a comprehensive investigation on the stimulation-evoked neuronal activation, we developed a simulation scheme which incorporates highly detailed physiological and morphological properties of pyramidal cells. The model was implemented on a multitude of neurons; their thresholds and corresponding activation points with respect to various field directions and pulse waveforms were recorded.

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc
September 2013
Article Synopsis
- Pain relief typically relies on chemical methods, which can have side effects and may not always be effective, leading to issues like anesthesia awareness and chronic pain.
- A new approach using magnetically induced deep brain modulation aims to provide a non-invasive, side-effect-free treatment by modifying neuronal firing in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), where pain is processed.
- This method involves using a specially developed pulse magnetic field projector to reduce high-frequency nociceptive neuronal firing associated with pain, which has been successfully simulated, showing promise for improved pain relief.
Separate care for new mother and infant versus rooming-in for increasing the duration of breastfeeding.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
September 2012
Background: Separate care for a new mother and infant may affect the duration of breastfeeding, breastfeeding behaviour and may have an adverse effect on neonatal and maternal outcomes.
Objectives: To assess the effect of mother-infant separation versus rooming-in on the duration of breastfeeding (exclusive and total duration of breastfeeding).
Search Methods: We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register (30 June 2012).
