Gender-related perceptions among healthcare providers and mothers in a pregnancy and early childhood obesity prevention intervention in Shanghai, China
BACKGROUND: Gendered perceptions can shape parental beliefs, behaviours and practices relevant to childhood obesity prevention during the critical early life period from pregnancy to infancy. We explored how pregnant women, mothers and healthcare providers in maternal child health in Shanghai, China, perceive the influences of gender within an overweight and obesity prevention context. METHODS: We conducted a qualitative descriptive study integra…
Diet quality during pregnancy and its association with social factors
Good diet quality during pregnancy provides adequate nutrition to support both the mothers and the fetus. The objective of this study is to describe the distribution of diet quality during pregnancy and to study the association between social factors and diet quality during pregnancy in a Canadian population. This study was based on 1535 pregnant women who provided dietary information in the 3D Cohort Study in Quebec, Canada. A 3-day food record …
Assessing the Relation between Plasma PCB Concentrations and Elevated Autistic Behaviours using Bayesian Predictive Odds Ratios
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by impaired social communication and repetitive or stereotypic behaviours. In utero exposure to environmental chemicals, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), may play a role in the etiology of ASD. We examined the relation between plasma PCB concentrations measured during pregnancy and autistic behaviours in a subset of children aged 3−4 years old in the Maternal-…
Time‐to‐pregnancy and offspring finger‐length ratio (2D
OBJECTIVES: Time-to-Pregnancy (TTP) is an epidemiological tool to assess couple fecundity. The finger digit ratio (2D:4D) has been suggested as a marker of androgen exposure in utero. Maternal, paternal, or couple-mediated factors related to fecundity may also have an effect on androgen exposure during pregnancy. We aimed to investigate the association between TTP, infertility, or use of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) and offspring 2D:4…
Nutrition education practices of primary school teachers in a resource-constrained community in Gauteng, South Africa
We investigated the nutrition education (NE) practices of teachers of grade 4‒7 learners in 11 primary schools (85% of total number) of the Bronkhorstspruit district (Gauteng Province) to identify opportunities for improving NE in these schools. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was carried out among a convenient sample of the teachers (N = 73) using a structured nutrition education practice questionnaire. Descriptive data analysis was done. R…
Use of vitamin D supplements during infancy in an international feeding trial
Objective To examine the use of vitamin D supplements during infancy among the participants in an international infant feeding trial. Design Longitudinal study. Setting Information about vitamin D supplementation was collected through a validated FFQ at the age of 2 weeks and monthly between the ages of 1 month and 6 months. Subjects Infants ( n 2159) with a biological family member affected by type 1 diabetes and with increased human leucocyte a…
Social consequences of conflict-related rape
Reporting results of human biomonitoring of environmental chemicals to study participants
Biomonitoring is used increasingly as an indicator and quantitative measure of exposure; however, there is a large gap in interpreting and communicating biomonitoring results to study participants. Two separate, national biomonitoring initiatives are under way in Canada; the household recruitment-based Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) and the clinic recruitment-based Maternal-Infant Research on Environmental Chemicals (MIREC) Study. The CHM…
Comparison of Midwifery Care to Medical Care in Hospitals in the Quebec Pilot Projects Study
Integration of Midwives into the Quebec Health Care System
Evaluation of the Midwifery Pilot Projects in Quebec
Notice of a Small Urn, of the so-called 'Incense Cup' type, found within a large Urn at Blairgowrie in March last, and now presented to the Museum
Supplementary Notice regarding the entry of the Duke of York's name in the Privy Council Record, July 1685
A follow up article to Robert Chambers' earlier paper (p. 90-93). Mr William Fraser, assistant-keeper of the Registers of Sasines, discovered two letters, which confirm that the Duke of York could not have been present at the Scottish Privy Council meetings in Edinburgh that the records claim he attended. Furthermore, Mr Joseph Robertson then argues that there are more instances in the Privy Council records when the Duke is listed as a participan…
