Abstract:The physical and psychological benefits of breastfeeding for the mother and the infant are numerous and range from improved and stronger bonding to better immunological protection. Breast-fed infants have fewer episodes of middle-ear and urinary tract infections and lower mortality rates than bottle-fed babies (Nulman et al, 2003). Breast milk contains nucleotides and enzymes that promote digestion and absorption of nutrients. Breast-feeding has been associated with better cognitive functioning and better perf… Show more
“…Schimmell et al . [29,30] studied drug plasma levels in a breast-fed infant whose mother had taken clomipramine during pregnancy and continued after giving birth. They found that levels were high following delivery but decreased gradually and were at the lowest detectable concentration at 35 days, even though breast-feeding continued.…”
This paper describes the optimal implementation of three newly conceived sensors for both health and environmental applications, utilizing a wide range of detection methods and complex nanocomposites. The first one is inorganic and based on matrices of calcium oxide, the second is based on protein arrays and a third one is based on Langmuir-Blodgett laccase multi-layers. Special attention was paid to detecting substances significant to the environment (such as carbon dioxide) and medicine (drug administration, cancer diagnosis and prognosis) by means of amperometric, quartz crystal microbalance with frequency (QCM_F) and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM_D) technologies. The resulting three implemented nanosensors are described here along with proofs of principle and their corresponding applications.

“…[48] Anti-psychotics Typical anti-psychotics have been reported to be safe during breast feeding. [49] Their levels in maternal milk and infant serum have been found to be low. Also, these have not been associated with any adverse effects in the infants.…”

“…Although there are no reports on adverse effects due to the use of olanzapine and risperidone by breast-feeding mothers, it has been recommended to consider the riskbenefit analysis before their prescription. [49] Reports have suggested that clozapine accumulates in breast milk and its use is contraindicated during breast feeding. [50] There is limited information on amisulpride and quetiapine to make any favorable recommendations for their use.…”

“…Use of valproate and carbamazepine has been reported to be compatible with breast feeding. [49] However, transient hepatic toxicity such as hyperbilirubinemia and high concentrations of gamma glutamyl transferase has been reported in neonates exposed to carbamazepine during breast-feeding.…”
Pregnancy has been identified as a biological, psychological and social stressor that predisposes women to emergence/re-emergence of psychiatric disorders. Effective pharmacological treatment is available for various psychiatric disorders. However, management of psychiatric disorders during pregnancy requires careful selection of the pharmacotherapeutic agent. Management of psychiatric disorders in pregnancy among diabetics brings in an additional dimension. The psychotropic medicines have been found to impact blood glucose levels and can interfere with diabetes management. This article reviews the available evidence on the use of psychotropic medicines in antenatal women with diabetes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
