    Insights

    Breastfeeding duration in Brazil significantly increased from 2.5 to 11.3 months between 1975 and 2008. Exclusive breastfeeding rates for infants under six months also rose dramatically, yet challenges remain to meet global recommendations.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Pediatrics
    • Epidemiology

    Context:

    • Breastfeeding trends in Brazil over four decades.
    • Analysis of seven national surveys from 1975 to 2008.
    • Utilizing consistent statistical methods for data compatibility.

    Purpose:

    • To document the secular trend in breastfeeding practices in Brazil.
    • To analyze changes in breastfeeding duration and exclusivity.
    • To assess progress towards international breastfeeding recommendations.

    Summary:

    • Median breastfeeding duration rose from 2.5 to 11.3 months.
    • Exclusive breastfeeding prevalence for infants under six months increased from 3.1% to 41.0%.
    • Significant advancements in breastfeeding rates observed over the study period.

    Impact:

    • Highlights substantial progress in Brazilian infant feeding practices.
    • Identifies remaining challenges in achieving optimal breastfeeding rates.
    • Provides data for public health interventions to promote breastfeeding.

    Development of Human Microbiota

    The human microbiota begins developing at birth and undergoes continual change as we age. Infancy marks a critical period of microbial sensitivity, offering a “window of opportunity” during which beneficial microbes help mature the immune system. By age three, children typically develop a more stable and diverse microbial community. Newborns acquire microbes from their immediate environment; vaginal delivery favors maternal vaginal microbes, while cesarean births favor microbes from...

    Current Trends in Nursing II

    Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

    Development of the Oral Microbiota01:28

    Development of the Oral Microbiota

    The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...

    Parental Care00:55

    Parental Care

    Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

    Transcytosis of IgG01:15

    Transcytosis of IgG

    Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
    IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...
