Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of prolonged and exclusive breastfeeding on cognitive development in children at age 6.5, utilizing a cluster-randomized trial with over 17,000 participants from Belarus.
- Findings indicate that the intervention significantly increased exclusive breastfeeding rates and positively correlated with higher IQ scores and better academic performance in reading and writing for the experimental group compared to controls.
- The results suggest that breastfeeding may enhance cognitive abilities, helping to establish a stronger link between breastfeeding practices and child development outcomes.
Hypertension
September 2004
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness, safety, and dosage of fosinopril in children aged 6 to 16 with hypertension, utilizing a double-blind, placebo-controlled design across 78 clinical sites.
- The trial involved four phases: screening, dose-response, placebo withdrawal, and an open-label safety phase, finding that all tested doses effectively lowered systolic blood pressure in participants.
- Results showed a significant difference in blood pressure increase during the placebo withdrawal, indicating fosinopril's effectiveness, while it was generally well tolerated with few serious side effects, suggesting that starting doses for children should be lower than those for adults.
