The interplay between emotional and breastfeeding difficulties in first-time mothers.

Aim/background: Both mental maternal health and breastfeeding difficulties impact maternal and infant health. The present study analyses the association between psychosocial and breastfeeding variables and maternal mental health.

Design/methods: The participants were 107 first-time mothers from Chile.

Maternal mental health and impact on the newborn during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Unlabelled: The deterioration of mental health in the general population has been one of the main consequences of the COVID-19 health crisis, with differences in diverse groups. Specifically, recent studies report an increased risk for the development of symptoms of anxiety and depression during the perinatal period, as well as a negative impact on the newborn.

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the differences in mental health, infant and obstetric variables, and childbirth experience in the public and private health systems in Chilean primiparous women before and during the CO- VID-19 pandemic.

Examining the association between subjective childbirth experience and maternal mental health at six months postpartum.

Problem: Childbirth experience can have long-lasting effects on maternal wellbeing.

Background: Positive childbirth experiences may strengthen maternal self-confidence, in contrast, negativeexperiences may promote a sense of failure or distrust.

Aim: To examine the contribution of maternal hospital childbirth experience on mental health at 6 months postpartum in a community-based, Chilean sample.

The role of interpersonal emotional regulation on maternal mental health.

Purpose: Symptoms of depression and anxiety during the perinatal period have a negative impact on mothers and their developing children. A significant body of research has demonstrated an association between mental health and both individual and interpersonal emotion regulation. Yet, this association has not been studied during the perinatal period.

The Role of Perinatal Anxiety and Depression in Breastfeeding Practices.

Maternal mental health difficulties are common during the perinatal period and have a negative impact on breastfeeding practices. Most research has focused on the role of postpartum depression, whereas maternal anxiety has been less studied, despite its high prevalence. A better understanding of the mental health variables that impact breastfeeding practices is necessary to support maternal and infant health and well-being.

Cultural adaptation of an intervention to prevent postnatal depression and anxiety in Chilean new mothers.

: The aim of this study was to culturally adapt What Were We Thinking (WWWT), an Australian psychoeducational intervention to prevent symptoms of depression and anxiety among first-time mothers, to be used in the Chilean primary health system.: Mental health symptoms are common in first-time mothers. Despite the availability of effective screening and referral in the Chilean primary health system, very few women access treatment due to diverse barriers.

First-year metabolic control guidelines and their impact on future metabolic control and neurocognitive functioning in children with PKU.

Unlabelled: There is a consensus on the importance of early and life-long treatment for PKU patients. Still, differences exist on target blood phenylalanine (Phe) concentrations for children with PKU in different countries and treatment centers. For the first time, long-term metabolic control and child development and cognitive functioning is compared between children with mean phenylalanine concentrations under 240 μmol/L (group A), between 240 and 360 μmol/L (group B) or over 360 μmol/L (group C) during their first year of life.

Treatment adherence during childhood in individuals with phenylketonuria: Early signs of treatment discontinuation.

Introduction: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a deficiency in phenylalanine (Phe) hydroxylase activity. Early diagnosis and continuous treatment with a low Phe diet prevents severe neurological and cognitive impairment.

Aims: 1.

Long-term cognitive functioning in individuals with tyrosinemia type 1 treated with nitisinone and protein-restricted diet.

Introduction: Tyrosinemia Type 1 (HT1) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a defect in the enzyme fumarylacetoacetate hydroxylase in the tyrosine pathway. Implementation of nitisinone (NTBC) treatment has dramatically improved survival rate of individuals with HT1, yet recent reports on cognitive impairment in treated patients exist.

Aims: Describe long-term neurocognitive outcome individuals with HT1 treated with nitisinone and protein restricted diet.
