Objective: To evaluate the impact of mode of delivery on breastfeeding incentive practices and on neonatal and maternal short and long-term complications.
Methods: A cohort study was conducted between June 2015 and April 2016 with 768 puerperal women from 11 maternities in Sergipe, interviewed in the first 24 hours, 45-60 days and 6-8 months after delivery. Associations between breastfeeding incentive practices, neonatal and maternal, both short-term and late complications, and the exposure variables were evaluated by the relative risk (95%CI) and the Fisher exact test.
Results: The C-section newborns had less skin-to-skin contact immediately after delivery (intrapartum C-section: 0.18, 95%CI 0.1-0.31 and elective C-section: 0.36, 95%CI 0.27-0.47) and less breastfeeding within one hour of birth (intrapartum C-section: 0.43, 95%CI 0.29-0.63 and elective C-section: 0.44, 95%CI 0.33-0.59). Newborns from elective C-section were less frequently breastfed in the delivery room 0.42 (95%CI 0.2-0.88) and roomed-in less 0.85 (95%CI 0.77-0.95). Women submitted to intrapartum C-section had greater risk of early complications 1.3 (95%CI 1.04-1.64, p = 0.037) and sexual dysfunction 1.68 (95%CI 1.14-2.48, p = 0.027). The frequency of neonatal complications, urinary incontinence and depression according to the mode of delivery was similar.
Conclusions: The C-section was negatively associated with breastfeeding incentive practices; in addition, C-section after labor increased the risk of early maternal complications and sexual dysfunction.

Premature and low birth weight neonates often struggle with oral intake due to immaturity or respiratory distress. Forkhead box protein 2 gene () is predicted to influence oral feeding ability in newborns, but studies assessing the role of this gene in influencing oral feeding ability are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of gene polymorphism, particularly single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs17137124, on the duration of orogastric tube (OGT) use in moderate to late preterm neonates.

Background: Extended-duration exposure therapy, in which treatment is delivered over a single prolonged session or cluster of long-duration sessions, is a highly efficacious and efficient treatment for anxiety disorders such as specific phobias. Despite this, little is known about the use of extended-duration exposure therapy in clinical practice.
Methods: In the present study we investigated the perceptions and use of extended-duration exposure therapy amongst a sample of Australian psychologists via a survey, and the Therapist Beliefs about Exposure Scale.

Background And Purpose: Treatment record contains most of information related to treatment plan delivery in radiation therapy. Reviewing treatment record is an important quality assurance (QA) task for safety and quality of patient treatments. This task is usually performed by senior medical physicists.

Aims: Ultrasound is used in the delivery room to assess fetal head position, engagement during labor, and anal sphincter injuries in the immediate postpartum period. The transperineal approach allows for direct visualization of the structures of interest without altering anatomical landmarks. Various ultrasound measurements during labor have been described in the literature, and their use varies widely across maternity units.

Objectives: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, or newborn jaundice, is a common condition caused by high bilirubin levels. Blood group incompatibility between mother and baby is a major cause. This study examined the link between different blood group incompatibilities and their management in newborns with jaundice.
