Previous research has noted an association between breastfeeding and a reduced risk of postpartum depression (PPD). This article provides a systematic review and meta-analysis on the possible association of the type and degree of breastfeeding and PPD. A systematic literature search in English was conducted by using PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library Databases from their start dates until January 2021. Outcome estimates were pooled by odds ratios (ORs) or standardized mean differences. Women who did not exclusively breastfeed had 89% higher odds of PPD (OR = 1.89, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.50-2.39). Included studies used different cutoff points for the diagnosis of PPD. Therefore, PPD in nonexclusive breastfeeding mothers was more in studies using the cutoff point 9/10 (OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.46-2.64) as symptoms of depression than those using the cutoff point 12 (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.21-2.61). Some studies reported PPD based on means and the others reported it based on OR. Accordingly, nonexclusive breastfeeding mothers had higher odds of PPD in studies calculating the effect size based on means (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.19-2.19) and OR (OR 2.36, 95% CI 1.65-3.39) than in other studies. This review showed that exclusive breastfeeding is associated with a reduced risk for PPD.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a significant predictor of the early progression of Alzheimer's disease, and it can be used as an important indicator of disease progression. However, many existing methods focus mainly on the image itself when processing brain imaging data, ignoring other non-imaging data (e.g.

Modern treatment, a healthy diet, and physical activity routines lower the risk factors for metabolic syndrome; however, this condition is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality worldwide. This investigation involved a randomized controlled trial, double-blind, parallel study. Fifty-eight participants with risk factors of metabolic syndrome according to the inclusion criteria were randomized into two groups and given probiotics (Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MSMC39-1 and Bifidobacterium animalis TA-1) (n = 31) or a placebo (n = 27).

Purpose: Previous studies have demonstrated significant biomechanical differences between individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and healthy controls during the Y-balance test. This study aimed to examine the effects of kinesio taping (KT) on lower limb biomechanical characteristics during the Y-balance anterior reach task in individuals with CAI.
Methods: A total of 30 participants were recruited, comprising 15 individuals with CAI and 15 healthy controls.
