Breastfeeding counseling in rooming-in care: a scoping review.

Objectives: to map evidence available in the literature on breastfeeding counseling in rooming-in.

Methods: a scoping review, following the stages recommended by the JBI to answer the review question: what evidence is available in the literature on breastfeeding counseling during the binomial's hospitalization in rooming-in? Searches were conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycInfo and CAPES Dissertation and Theses Catalogue databases, using the descriptors "Counseling", "Breast Feeding", "Rooming-in Care" and "Mother-Child Binomial" and their synonyms, without time or language limitations.

Results: seven studies, published between 1999 and 2020, predominantly in English, were included in the analysis.

An NRF2/β3-Adrenoreceptor Axis Drives a Sustained Antioxidant and Metabolic Rewiring Through the Pentose-Phosphate Pathway to Alleviate Cardiac Stress.

Background: Cardiac β3-adrenergic receptors (ARs) are upregulated in diseased hearts and mediate antithetic effects to those of β1AR and β2AR. β3AR agonists were recently shown to protect against myocardial remodeling in preclinical studies and to improve systolic function in patients with severe heart failure. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Setting the Stage: Using Virtual Reality to Assess the Effects of Music Performance Anxiety in Pianists.

Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) is highly prevalent among musicians and often debilitating, associated with changes in cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and physiological responses to performance situations. Efforts have been made to create simulated performance environments in conservatoires and Virtual Reality (VR) to assess their effectiveness in managing MPA. Despite these advances, results have been mixed, underscoring the need for controlled experimental designs and joint analyses of performance, physiology, and subjective ratings in these settings.

It's in the water: A qualitative exploration of the perceived effects of outdoor open water swimming on swimmers' psychological well-being.

Outdoor swimming for both leisure and physical exercise is a fast-growing activity in the United Kingdom. However, research into the perceived effects of outdoor open water swimming on psychological well-being is limited. Considering the inherent combination of physical activity, leisure, and nature immersion, the notion of outdoor swimming as a potential activity in the social prescribing initiative to enhance psychological well-being was investigated.

Validation of the 21-item Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS) among Finnish late adolescents.

Objective: This multi-study investigation examined the validity of the Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS) among 16- to 18-year-old Finnish participants. Specifically, we examined factorial structure, reliability, measurement invariance, convergent and predictive validity in respect to reported physical activity.

Methods And Measures: In Study 1, 285 participants completed the 40-item PALMS, and in Study 2, 638 adolescents completed a shorter measure derived from Study 1, along with the Behavioural Regulation in Sport Questionnaire (BRSQ).
