Emulsion allows production of analgesic effect of spinal cord? !

Posted by watertree under Breast

When the researchers in a burn patient arm arm smear after the so-called pain emulsion (actually there is no analgesic effect), surprised to find that the patient’s spinal cord can be stimulated by latex really become active, so that the patient’s pain disappear .

This is from the German scientists found that they recently released a paper out, entitled “Direct Evidence for Spinal Cord Involvement in Placebo Analgesia”. Source Link

“The researchers who made the discovery scanned the spinal cords of volunteers while applying painful heat to one arm. Then they rubbed a cream onto the arm and told the volunteers that it contained a painkiller, but in fact it had no active ingredient. Even so, the cream made spinal-cord neural activity linked to pain vanish. ‘This type of mechanism has been envisioned for over 40 years for placebo analgesia,’ says Donald Price, a neuroscientist at the University of Florida in Gainesville, who was not involved in the new study. ‘This study provides the most direct test of this mechanism to date.’”

The benefits of breastfeeding infants

Posted by watertree under Breast

First, the benefits of infant

Breast milk is necessary and desirable foods, which contain the most nutrients for the baby’s digestion and absorption, and has a high bioavailability. Breast milk contains lysozyme, lactoferrin, macrophages, neutrophils, TB lymphocytes, complement, anti-staphylococcal factor and bifidus factor such as anti-inflammatory substances, should not cause allergy.

In breast milk rich in unsaturated fatty acids on the infant brain’s development plays an important role. Leptin in breast milk also contains, in order to adapt to extrauterine neonatal play an active role in the environment. Breastfeeding can also avoid the bottle, nipple infections caused by pollution, and improve the nutritional status of children, protect the baby was less disease. As follows:

(A) Nutrition / growth. Studies have shown that the majority of less than 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding infant growth and appropriate.

(B) Immunization. Exclusive breastfeeding of infants have lower diarrhea, the risk of respiratory and skin infections, and can prevent allergies.

(C) the development and protection of teeth. Suck facial muscles contribute to normal development, can prevent dental caries caused by bottle-feeding.

(D) psycho-social problems

1. Infant frequent skin contact with the mother by the care, and promoting the development of psychological and social adaptability.

2. Recent studies have shown that breast-feeding and intelligence-related.

(5) Other

1. Reducing the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis

2. To reduce infant Cusi syndrome

3. With the reduction of infant and child diabetes, the occurrence of lymph node tumor

Second, the benefits for mothers

Breastfeeding mothers can be given a mother’s sensitivity, and bring them from pregnancy status to non-pregnant state of a successful transition. With sucking arising prolactin, promoting contraction of the uterus, can reduce the production of blood, promoting uterine involution. Mother’s body protein, iron, and other required nutrients, to be saved through the post-partum amenorrhea is conducive to post-natal recovery, but also help to extend the interval between births. Breastfeeding can inhibit ovulation, resulting in lactation amenorrhea, longer intervals between births, playing the role of contraception.

In addition, breastfeeding can also reduce the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. There are two women in his life the peak incidence of breast cancer ,25-35 years old for a peak ,55-65-year-old for the second peak, research shows that breast-feeding period of 6 months, breast reduction in the prevalence of 6.3%. Sisters of breast cancer is much higher than the proportion of women after childbirth.

Breastfeeding in the United States fine traditions, but in the sixties onwards, subject to the impact of global trends, breastfeeding rate has gradually decreased. We call, modern people need to understand breastfeeding, breastfeeding mothers and their children will benefit.

Breastfeeding to increase credit

Posted by watertree under Breast

Researchers a the University of the United States, 59 families of 126 children were breast-feeding study of the history, compared to the same family, breastfeeding and non-breast-feeding, or breast-feeding children a short time results, the results were as follows: breast feeding children, in the high school GPA, non-breastfed children than high 0.019 on the high probability of the University of 1.4%.

The researchers said: “Breastfeeding can improve children’s health, improve the cognitive level, in the long run, these children were all conducive to a better education.”

DENVER, June 15 (UPI) — Breastfeeding was associated with an increase in high school grade point average and an increase in the odds of attending college, U.S. researchers said.

The study, published in the Journal of Human Capital, looked at the academic achievement of siblings — one of whom was breast fed as an infant and one of whom was not — found that an additional month of breastfeeding was associated with an increase in high school GPA of 0.019 points and an increase in the probability of college attendance of 0.014.

American University professor Joseph Sabia and University of Colorado Denver professor Daniel Rees used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. They said more than one-half of the estimated effect on high school grades of being breast fed, and approximately one-fifth of the estimated effect on college attendance, can be linked to improvements in cognitive ability and health.

The researchers examined the breast feeding histories and high school grades of 126 siblings from 59 families.

“The results of our study suggest that the cognitive and health benefits of breast feeding may lead to important long-run educational benefits for children,” Sabia said in a statement.
