Exploring the determinants of timely initiation of breastfeeding is necessary for planning efficient breastfeeding promotion programmes. The present study aimed to investigate the frequency and related factors of timely initiation of breastfeeding among Turkish mothers. This study was a cross-sectional, descriptive, mixed model study, which was carried out on mothers with healthy children up to 3 years old who presented to the paediatric clinic between 01 November 2019 and 30 December 2019 in a university hospital. Of the 307 participant mothers, the mean age was 28.3 ± 3.9 years. The frequency of timely initiation of breastfeeding was 70.7%. Significant associations were found between timely initiation of breastfeeding status and residence, type of delivery, type of anaesthesia, birth weight of babies, counselling on timely initiation of breastfeeding during antenatal care and consultant medical staff. In order to increase the breastfeeding rate in the first hour, spontaneous vaginal delivery should be supported and spinal/epidural anaesthesia method should be preferred in cases where caesarean delivery is indicated. Other important steps to increase the ratio of timely initiation of breastfeeding are strengthening breastfeeding counselling services and the midwifery system.

Introduction: Sexual health concerns are common and significantly impact quality of life, but many people do not seek treatment due to embarrassment and other barriers. A biopsychosocial model of assessment and treatment acknowledges the biological, psychological, and social contributors to sexual difficulties and suggests that all these domains should be evaluated.
Objectives: This paper provides an overview of the major psychological factors contributing to sexual difficulties and offer an evidence-based approach for primary care clinicians to assess and treat these issues.

Background: The modelling of biomarker dynamics in Alzheimer's Disease from cohort studies faces challenges due to the lack of clear temporal points of references and the natural variability across individuals. Mixed-effects models are often used to account for individual differences, but a disease timescale can enable better population-level modelling than age or time since enrolment. Previous literature explored the temporal synchronisation of patients through observed time of conversion to MCI or AD, amyloid positivity, or aligning cognitive trajectories.

Background: To analyze the serial changes in cranial asymmetry (CA) during helmet therapy for deformational plagiocephaly (DP).
Methods: The subjects were 159 patients with DP who visited National Center for Child Health and Development between October 2011 and March 2014 and completed helmet therapy. The authors retrospectively collected information from medical records and analyzed the rate of improvement of deformation.
Background: Recent advances in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) disease modifying therapies (DMTs) emphasize the need of an early, timely and accurate diagnosis to initiate treatment and improve patient outcomes. Clinicians must confirm amyloid pathology through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) testing or amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) scan to qualify patients. As a result, the demand for confirmatory CSF or imaging biomarker testing is predicted to rise significantly.
