“…In this study, the saliva cortisol concentration was found to be increased in the mothers who underwent VAG delivery. Cortisol determination has previously been proposed as a stress marker in several studies [66] involving pregnant populations [67]. Further, pregnancy has been suggested to be associated with an increased cortisol concentration throughout the gestation period [68,69].…”

The importance of the maternal microbiota in terms of the initial bacterial seeding has previously been highlighted; however, little is currently known about the perinatal factors that could affect it. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of various delivery-related factors on the intestinal microbiome at delivery time and on post-partum weight retention. Data were collected from mothers (n = 167) during the first four months post-partum. A subset of 100 mothers were selected for the determination of the salivary cortisol concentration and microbiome composition at birth by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The maternal microbiota was classified into two distinct clusters with significant differences in microbial composition and diversity. Maternal microbiota was also significantly influenced by the mode of delivery. Moreover, the salivary cortisol concentration was associated with some maternal microbiota genera and it was significantly higher in the vaginal delivery group (p = 0.003). The vaginal delivery group exhibited lower post-partum weight retention than the C-section (CS) mothers at four months post-partum (p < 0.001). These results support the hypothesis that the mode of delivery as well as the codominant hormonal changes could influence the maternal microbiota and possibly impact maternal weight recovery during the post-partum period.

“…(Rwakarema, 2015) Kecemasan antenatal yang tidak teratasi meningkatkan resiko terjadinya depresi setelah bersalin dan berpengaruh terhadap kesehatan dan kesejahteraan bayi, serta perkembangan anak (Bennett, 2004;Kingston, Tough and Whitfield, 2012;Norhayati, 2015) Penelitian lain menyebutkan bahwa kecemasan antenatal dapat menyebabkan komplikasi kehamilan dan persalinan, serta terjadinya penyulit pada bayi baru lahir (kelahiran prematur, BBLR, kematian bayi, asfiksia. (Rondó., 2004;Alder, 2011;Dunkel Schetter and Tanner, 2012) Meskipun kecemasan antenatal memiliki dampak negatif terhadap kesehatan mental ibu maupun bayinya, namun dalam kunjungan rutin pemeriksaan antenatal masalah ini kurang mendapat perhatian. (Biaggi, 2016) Hasil studi pendahuluan di wilayah kota Sukabumi ditemukan bahwa pengkajian data pada ibu hamil sesuai dengan format yang ada di buku KIA, sedangkan pada buku tersebut tidak ada pengkajian secara khusus yang menilai gejala kecemasan antenatal.…”

Antenatal anxiety is one of the factors causing complications in pregnancy, childbirth and infants. It is estimated that more than 20% of pregnant women experience antenatal anxiety, but most cases of antenatal anxiety are not reported because the current antenatal assessment is more focused on physical examination. This research aimed to identify antenatal anxiety and analyzed of factors related to the incidence of antenatal anxiety. This research was a Descriptive with Cross Sectional method. Data collection has been carried out from July to August 2018 using Pregnancy Related Questionnaire Anxiety revised 2 (PRAQ-r2), the questionnaire for sociodemographic consisted of age, education, economic status, health behavior, age of pregnancy, parity, status of obstetrics and questionnaires for family support. Sample of the research was 160 respondents. Data analyzed using chi-square. The result of research were found pregnant women who participated fill in the questionnaires were 144 from 160 (response rate 90,62%). Pregnant women who experienced antenatal anxiety as many as 38 people (26,4 %) and who have never experienced antenatal anxiety as many as 106 people (73.6 %). Factors associated with antenatal anxiety include parity (p = 0,003), the status of obstetrics (p = 0.000), the gestational age (p = 0,001), family support (p = 0,000) and health behavior (p = 0,00). The Conclusion of this research was that anxiety is a mental disorder that often occurs in pregnant women, so the importance of understanding the factors associated with antenatal anxiety in order to be able in planning midwifery care and develops interventions holistically.

“…Individuals who reported previous heart disease, uncontrolled hypertension, visual and/or auditory disorders, neurological disorders and musculoskeletal problems were excluded (24,25). Additionally, a Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score of less than 45 points was also used as exclusion criterion because these individuals have a high risk of falls during walking (26,27). The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences of Juiz de Fora (SUPREMA), Juiz de Fora, Brazil, under number 0015/12 and is in compliance with the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki.…”

Applicability of the Kinect Sensor in the Rehabilitation of Balance Control in the Elderly: A Pilot Study

et al. 2018

Background: Taking into consideration the inversion of the age pyramid in the coming years and the limitations and diseases that predispose the elderly to episodes of falling, it is necessary to develop resources that can address postural balance in this population. The use of virtual rehabilitation, i.e., rehabilitation using electronic platforms, has been increasing due to the increased treatment adherence observed with these methods. Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program using the Kinect sensor (KS) on the postural balance of the elderly. Methods: This was a non-randomized controlled clinical trial in which 10 elderly subjects and 10 younger adults underwent a 10session rehabilitation protocol lasting 20 minutes per session. Each session involved muscle stretching and motor coordination exercises, as well as use of the KS. The period between the evaluations was five weeks, and the sessions were held three times per week. The initial and final evaluations included the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and the tandem Romberg test. Results: After treatment with the KS, the elderly required a longer time to perform the TUG test and had lower static balance results in the tandem Romberg test compared to younger adults; however, there were no significant differences between the pre-and posttreatment values for these two tests within either group (P > 0.05). The elderly scored lower on the BBS than the younger adults both before and after treatment (P = 0.0001 and P = 0.0006, respectively). However, the elderly showed a balance gain according to the BBS scores between the pre-and post-treatment evaluations (P = 0.005), which did not occur in the younger adults (P = 0.31). Conclusions:The KS is able to promote improvements in static and dynamic postural balance in the elderly, who reached a condition close to what was observed in young adults. This improvement is evident when evaluating the changes using the BBS.
