Development of Nipple Trauma Evaluation System With Deep Learning.

Background: No research has been conducted on the use of deep learning for breastfeeding support.

Research Aim: This study aims to develop a nipple trauma evaluation system using deep learning.

Methods: We used an exploratory data analysis approach to develop a deep-learning model for medical imaging.

Systematic Review on the Efficacy of Moisturizing Therapy in Treating Nipple Trauma and Nipple Pain.

Background: Nipple trauma and pain pose a challenge, leading to premature discontinuation of breastfeeding. Moisturizing therapies, including lanolin and hydrogel dressings, have been proposed for nipple trauma and pain management. Despite the availability of multiple approaches, evidence for moisturizing therapy is lacking.

Effectiveness of moisturising therapy in treating nipple trauma: a systematic review protocol.

Introduction: Breastfeeding is crucial in infant nutrition and bonding, recommended for at least 6 months and up to 2 years postpartum, providing health benefits for both infants and mothers. However, nipple trauma is common among lactating mothers. Moisturising therapies, such as hydrogel application, aim to promote the healing of nipple wounds.

Exosome-Derived microRNAs from Mouthrinse Have the Potential to Be Novel Biomarkers for Sjögren Syndrome.

Sjögren syndrome (SS) is diagnosed based on invasive tissue biopsies and blood sampling. Therefore, a novel non-invasive and simple inspection diagnostic marker of SS is required. Here, we identified exosome-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) as biomarkers for SS using non-invasive mouthrinse samples collected from patients with SS and healthy volunteers.

An Evaluation of the Signs of Nipple Trauma Associated With Breastfeeding: A Delphi Study.

Background: No consensus on the definitions of nipple trauma has been reported. Thus, different individuals assess identical events inconsistently.

Research Aims: To establish clear definitions for the seven signs of nipple trauma related to breastfeeding-erythema, swelling, scabbing, blistering, fissure, purpura, and peeling-and to reach consensus among multiple specialists.

Relationship between Oral Hypofunction, and Protein Intake: A Cross-Sectional Study in Local Community-Dwelling Adults.

Few studies have investigated the relationship between nutritional status and comprehensive assessment of oral hypofunction, especially protein intake-related sarcopenia. Thus, we explored these relationships in a large-scale cross-sectional cohort study using the seven-item evaluation for oral hypofunction and Diet History Questionnaire for nutritional assessment. We used the data from 1004 individuals who participated in the 2019 health survey of the residents of Tarumizu City, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan for analysis.

Association of Oral Hypofunction with Frailty, Sarcopenia, and Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Cross-Sectional Study of Community-Dwelling Japanese Older Adults.

Oral hypofunction is a new concept that addresses the oral function of older adults. Few studies have investigated the relationship between oral hypofunction and general health conditions such as frailty, sarcopenia, and mild cognitive impairment. This paper explores these relationships in a large-scale, cross-sectional cohort study.

Glycolate is a Novel Marker of Vitamin B Deficiency Involved in Gut Microbe Metabolism in Mice.

Microbes in the human gut play a role in the production of bioactive compounds, including some vitamins. Although several studies attempted to identify definitive markers for certain vitamin deficiencies, the role of gut microbiota in these deficiencies is unclear. To investigate the role of gut microbiota in deficiencies of four vitamins, B, B, folate, and B, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of metabolites in mice treated and untreated with antibiotics.

Nipple Skin Trauma in Breastfeeding Women During Postpartum Week One.

Objective: To objectively describe changes to nipple skin and classify signs of nipple trauma in breastfeeding women during postpartum week 1.

Methods: This study was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 was an observational prospective study of breastfeeding mothers in which data were obtained from photographs and digital images of nipple skin and analyzed to anatomically classify signs of nipple trauma.

Discontinuous ammonia excretion and glutamine storage in littoral Oniscidea (Crustacea: Isopoda): testing tidal and circadian models.

A key evolutionary development facilitating land colonization in terrestrial isopods (Isopoda: Oniscidea) is the intermittent liberation of waste nitrogen as volatile ammonia. Intermittent ammonia release exploits glutamine (Gln) as an intermediary nitrogen store. Here, we explore the relationship between temporal patterns of ammonia release and Gln accumulation in three littoral oniscideans from Southern California.

Intestinal SGLT1-mediated absorption and metabolism of benzyl beta-glucoside contained in Prunus mume: carrier-mediated transport increases intestinal availability.

The intestinal absorption of benzyl beta-glucoside (BNZ beta glc) contained in the fruit of Prunus mume SIEB. et ZUCC. (Rosaceae), which is traditionally used as a medicinal food in Japan, was studied in rat intestines.
