Women Birth

Background: Despite breastfeeding being widely accepted as the optimal feeding method for infants many women do not meet their breastfeeding goals or continue to breastfeed as long as recommended. Continuation of exclusive breastfeeding is multifactorial, with midwifery support during the postnatal period considered to be an important component. However, little is known about how women receive this support from midwives across varying models of care.

Purpose: To employ a validated survey for evaluation of quality of life (QoL) outcomes and associated factors in a US cohort of adult patients with acquired anophthalmia wearing a prosthesis.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed at a single, US academic institution of patients cared for between 2012 and 2021. The electronic medical record database was queried for adult patients with a history of evisceration or enucleation surgery and placement of an orbital implant.
Alzheimers Dement

University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA.
Background: Pathological changes of Alzheimer's disease (AD) occur in the locus coeruleus (LC) years before clinical symptoms. This may affect LC activity that can be indexed by changes in pupil dilation. AD also disrupts connections between related but functionally distinct cortical areas leading to visual feature binding deficits.

Background: Sex hormones are frequently implicated in the development of cerebral small vessel disease among midlife women. However, few studies directly measure endogenous sex hormones and consider them in relation to white matter hyperintensities (WMH), indicators of cerebral small vessel disease. Further, existing work on hormones, menopause, and the brain typically focuses on ovarian estradiol (E2), with limited consideration of estrone (E1), the primary postmenopausal estrogen, or follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), an indicator of ovarian age.

Three-quarters of the planet's land surface has been altered by humans, with consequences for animal ecology, movements and related ecosystem functioning. Species often occupy wide geographical ranges with contrasting human disturbance and environmental conditions, yet, limited data availability across species' ranges has constrained our understanding of how human pressure and resource availability jointly shape intraspecific variation of animal space use. Leveraging a unique dataset of 758 annual GPS movement trajectories from 375 brown bears (Ursus arctos) across the species' range in Europe, we investigated the effects of human pressure (i.
