Home care program for high-risk pregnancies: a qualitative study of care providers perspectives from Iran.

Background: High-risk pregnancies are accompanied by significant complications for the mother, fetus, and baby if not controlled and received timely care. During home antenatal care, high-risk pregnant women can receive non-medical interventions by a home visitor.

Objective: This study's main aim was to explore care providers' perspectives regarding the home care program for high-risk pregnancies.

Code Milk: Finding the Pulse of Lactation Culture, Practices, and Preferences of Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellows.

Objectives: The aim of the study is to characterize the lactation goals and practice of pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) fellows and to identify areas of improvement related to 1) policy awareness, 2) departmental culture and accommodations, and 3) lactation space and time.

Methods: This study is a national, cross-sectional survey study of PEM fellows and program directors (PDs). Two surveys were developed via iterative review and distributed by the PEM-PD Survey Committee.

Measuring the impact of COVID-19 exposure on reporting of intimate partner violence in India using an intent-to-treat framework.

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only posed alarming health challenges but also exacerbated the scenarios of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women globally. While global studies indicate a conspicuous increase in IPV during COVID-19 lockdowns; Indian studies exhibit mixed evidence. This ambiguity in world's most populous country underscores a greater need to examine the nexus between exposure to COVID-19 and IPV using a large nationally representative sample of India.

Effect of Physical Treatments on Functional Properties of Whey and Soy Protein Isolates in Oleogel Production Through Foam Template Method.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of physical treatments, namely heat (70 °C for 48 h), atmospheric cold plasma (10 kW for 20 min), and ultrasonic frequency (40 kHz for 15 min), on the physicochemical and interfacial properties of soy protein isolate (SPI) and whey protein isolate (WPI) in the context of oleogel production by foam template (cryogel) method. The physical modification of both SPI and WPI was monitored using SDS-PAGE, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), measuring interfacial tension, color, solubility, foam volume, foam stability, and, finally, the density and oil absorption of the produced cryogel. The findings revealed that the application of ultrasonic waves resulted in a significant reduction in the content of alpha-helical of SPI and WPI while the other treatments increased the content of random coil proteins.

Trends in adult mortality rates in India, 1970 to 2018: age-period-cohort analysis.

High premature adult deaths in developing countries are gaining attention, as recent studies show their increasing impact on overall mortality rates. This paper has twofold objectives: firstly, it investigates the long-term trends and patterns of adult mortality between 1970 and 2018 in India. Secondly, it attempts to detect age, period, and cohort (APC) effects on adult mortality decline over time.
