An analysis of the nutrient intake of selected infants in southwest VirginiaWithers, Susan Marie January 1983 (has links)
Data were analyzed that had been collected for a project entitled "Identification of Infants at Risk for the Development of Obesity" by the staff of the Human Nutrition and Foods, and Family and Child Development Departments at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
There were 156 subjects contacted to participate in the study. Demographic variables were collected and reported on each infant. Dietary Data were collected through means of a 24-hour dietary recall, bimonthly for 1 year. The data were analyzed using the Computer Assisted Instructional Program RCALL (Va. Coop. Exten. Ser., 1975). Vitamins A and C, riboflavin, niacin and iron were analyzed further to obtain bivariate joint frequency distributions and chi-squares.
It was found that regardless of whether or not there was nutrient supplementation of an infant's diet, there were often excesses in nutrient intake. It was also found that breast fed infants (in the first 5 to 7 months of life) were supplemented significantly more often than formula fed infants but groups were not mutually exclusive throughout the study and further data could not be obtained so the effect of supplementation was not examined.
Implications and recommendations for heal th education in the area of pediatric nutrition are discussed. Recommendations for further study are made based on this study. / M.S.

An incidence study of vitamin and mineral supplementation among infants in Southwest VirginiaFavret, Jenny C. January 1986 (has links)
A longitudinal feeding study of 154 infants in Southwest Virginia was conducted during 1978-1980. The incidence of vitamin and mineral supplementation among these infants was the focus of the retrospective study discussed here.
With the use of the Nutritional Analysis System of Louisiana State University, nutrient adequacy levels were determined. Vitamin D, vitamin E, folacin, vitamin B-6, and iron were the problem nutrients identified through this analysis. Inappropriate infant feeding practices such as the use of low iron formulas, the use of cow's milk, and the consumption of inadequate milk volume were blamed for these dietary deficiencies.
Routine vitamin supplementation was common among infants of all feeding types. While much of the supplementation was unnecessary, large percentages of infants demonstrated a need for it. The exception was vitamin A. None of the infants who received supplemental vitamin A had inadequate dietary intakes of this nutrient. Supplementation was not shown to have an effect on weight or length gain measurements.
Parents should be given specific infant feeding instructions prior to hospital discharge. Included should be a list of the circumstances which would indicate the need for supplementation. / M.S.

The influence of the workplace environment on breastfeeding practices of working mothers returning to work : a case study of two companies in KwaZulu-NatalReimers, Penelope January 2009 (has links)
Submitted in full compliance with the requirements for a Master’s Degree in Technology: Nursing, Department of Community Health Studies at the Durban University of Technology, 2009. / Purpose:
Breastfeeding is a key child survival strategy important for the long-term health of both the mother and child. The number of women in paid employment has increased exponentially, yet very few of these women continue breastfeeding as recommended by the World Health Organisation. The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify the factors affecting breastfeeding practices in the workplace.
Objectives of the study are to:
1: Describe managers’ attitudes to and knowledge about providing breastfeeding support.
2: Identify mothers’ attitudes towards breastfeeding and the workplace environment.
3: Describe the practices of the breastfeeding mothers in the workplace.
4: Identify factors that influence breastfeeding practices within the workplace environment
Method
The theoretical frameworks adopted were the Situation- Specific Theory of Breastfeeding and the BASNEF model. The frameworks together with the literature review provided the background which informed this study.
The research was a case study of two multi -national companies in Durban, KwaZulu Natal; participants were mothers and managers in the companies. Purposive sampling was used for selecting eight women who participated in the focus groups, two follow up interviews were conducted and five managers were interviewed. Data collection techniques also included a reflexive journal and field observation. After a thorough review of the data, the main themes which emerged were used to guide the discussion and answer the objectives of the study.
Results
The two companies reflected a scenario of pressures in the workplace environment affecting women’s choices regarding combining work and breastfeeding; societal pressures were dictating acceptable behaviour. Breastfeeding was not a priority for employers, no breastfeeding policy existed. Breastfeeding mothers were isolated and employers and employees were not engaging on the issue.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Simple enabling factors within the workplace would allow mothers, their infants and employers to enjoy the benefits of supporting breastfeeding in the workplace; this would be a win-win situation. Government, non-governmental organisations and society have a responsibility to overtly protect, support and promote breastfeeding in society and in the workplace.

Longitudinal changes in cellular immunity in the first year of life and lack of relationship to serum immunoglobulin-EStern, Debra Ann, 1958- January 1989 (has links)
The present study was undertaken to explore the relationship of cellular immunity to total serum ICE in an unselected sample of 278 healthy infants. Statistical analyses of infant history profiles and cellular immune and serum IgE determinations from cord blood and 10 month samples were performed using SPSSx. During the first year of life, the percent CD3, CD4, CD8, ERFC, and B-cell counts significantly increased and the CD4/CD8 ratio and responses to ConA and PW mitogens significantly decreased. Boys had lower percent CD8 cell counts and decreased responses to ConA and PW mitogens in cord blood. Cellular immune variable values were not associated with total serum ICE in any analysis. Early feeding method had no effect on 10 month serum IgE levels or cellular immune variables. Cord blood percent CD3 and CD4 cell counts were significantly decreased in infants with parental histories of asthma. In summary, (1) boys had a lower percent of suppressor T-cells and lower mitogen responses in cord blood (2) boys and girls reached similar levels for all variables by 10 months of age (3) infants with familial histories of asthma had fewer total and helper T-cells in cord blood.

The effects of glucose on the memory and attention of newborn human infants /Horne, Pamela. January 1999 (has links)
The objective of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was to determine whether glucose enhanced memory for a repeated auditory stimulus in human newborns. Infants consumed water or glucose (2-g/kg) solution. Memory test phases were: Orientation (turning towards the stimulus); Habituation (not turning towards), indicating familiarity; Delay (100 seconds); Spontaneous Recovery (stimulus representation: not turning towards indicates remembering, while turning towards indicates forgetting), and Novelty (turning towards a different word confirms wakefulness). Decreased head-turning towards during Spontaneous Recovery indicates enhanced memory. Blood glucose levels were measured after testing. / "Glucose" infants had higher blood glucose levels than "water" infants (p < 0.001). "Glucose" infants had significantly decreased turns towards during Spontaneous Recovery compared to "water" infants (p = 0.008), indicating memory enhancement. / Therefore, glucose specifically enhances memory for a repeated auditory stimulus in newborn humans. Elevating blood glucose levels by approximately 2 mmol/L appears to be sufficient for memory enhancement in healthy newborns.
