Could Photobiomodulation help lactating women and their newborns?

During the first several weeks following lactation, nipple pain frequently prevents mothers from continuing breastfeeding. To evaluate the efficacy of using Photobiomodulation (PBM) versus anti-inflammatory topical cream, on inflamed nipple, and the effect on milk production. This study was carried-out on 50 breastfeeding women with nipple pain and fissure.

Role of thigh circumference in predicting the fetal weight: Comparison with other ultrasound methods-A prospective observational study.

Aim: We aimed to evaluate the addition of fetal thigh circumference (TC) to other ultrasound parameters to predict fetal weight compared to two standard formulae (Hadlock's and Vintzileos methods).

Methods: We conducted this prospective study on pregnant women between November 2018 and September 2019. The actual fetal weight was estimated within 48 h of delivery; then, it was compared to the estimated fetal weight by ultrasound.

Efficacy of Vitamin D Supplementation in Addition to Aerobic Exercise Training in Obese Women with Perceived Myalgia: A Single-Blinded Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Obese women were more susceptible to myalgia because of their significantly lower vitamin D concentrations; the present study investigated the efficacy of vitamin D in addition to an aerobic interval training in the management of obese women with myalgia. Forty-five obese women with vitamin D deficiency and myalgia (30 to 40 years old) were assigned randomly into three equal groups. Group A received an aerobic interval training with vitamin D supplementation, Group B received vitamin D supplementation only, and Group C received aerobic interval training only; participants in all groups were on calorie deficient diets.

1,3,5-Triazino Peptide Derivatives: Synthesis, Characterization, and Preliminary Antileishmanial Activity.

A library of short di-, tri-, and tetra-peptides with an s-triazine moiety at the N terminus and either an amide or ethyl ester C terminus was prepared in solution and on the solid phase. The two remaining positions of the s-triazine moiety were substituted with methoxy, morpholino, or piperidino groups. All the synthesized peptide derivatives were analyzed by HPLC and fully characterized by IR spectroscopy, H and C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF/TOF).

Synthesis, characterization and anti-proliferation activities of novel cyano oximino sulfonate esters.

A series of novel cyano oximino sulfonate derivatives were prepared from the reaction of arylsulfonyl chloride with different cyanoacetamide-based oximes ranging from the simplest unsubstituted amide to analogues containing N-ethyl (mimicking the Oxyma template), N-piperidinyl and N-morpholinyl chains. In addition, the cyano oximes, N-hydroxybenzimidoyl cyanide and N-hydroxypicolinimidoyl cyanide were also used in the synthesis of the novel cyano oximino sulfonate derivatives. The structures of the prepared compounds were confirmed by (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, and elemental analysis.
