- چکیده انگلیسی: Background Most pregnant women suffer from nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) as one of the common discomforts compelling women to increasingly turn to herbal medications for help, including lemon inhalation aromatherapy as investigated in the current systematic review and meta-analysis. We aimed to evaluate the effect of aromatherapy on relieving nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Materials and Methods In the present study, electronic sources in English (Medline [via PubMed], Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library); and databases in Persian (SID and Magiran) were systematically searched without any time constraints until February 10, 2018. Following keywords were used to find research articles related to the effect of aromatherapy on the NVP: (Nausea OR Vomiting) AND (Aromatic therapy OR Essential oil OR Essential oils OR Fragrance OR Fragrant oil OR Fragrant oils OR Scent OR Alternative Medicine OR Complementary Medicine) AND (Pregnancy). Results Four studies were included in systematic review. The results of this study reported that aromatherapy with lemon compared to placebo improves the severity of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women, but Mentha and Peppermint oil alone or in combination with lavender, showed no significant improvement. There was no significant difference between the placebo and aromatherapy groups regarding total score of nausea and vomiting among pregnant women at the third day (standardized mean difference [SMD] = -0.347; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: -0.980 to 0.287; P=0.284, heterogeneity; I2=72%; P=0.054). Conclusion Aromatherapy did not show any beneficial effect on nausea and vomiting among pregnant women. Only aromatherapy with lemon oil can be beneficial.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background
It is necessary to identify women who discontinue the breastfeeding to achieve the purpose of increasing the length of breastfeeding. To this end, Breastfeeding Attrition Prediction Tool (BAPT) has been developed. The current systematic review aimed to comprehensively review the validity and reliability of BAPT scale with different versions to give comprehensive information for authorities in this field.
Materials and Methods
Three English databases including Medline (via PubMed), Scopus, and Cochran library until May 2018 with no date restriction were searched. The search strategy was developed based on main terms of (Breastfeeding Attrition Prediction Tool OR BAPT) AND (Reliability OR validity OR Psychometrics OR Factor Analysis). Two reviewers separately extracted the required data available in full-text of all the quality of related studies was investigated using COSMIN checklist.
Results
All Cronbach alpha coefficient (both overall and subscale) were in excess of 0.7 except for subscale "NBS" in American version and subscale PBS in Persian version. In term of discriminant and predictive validity, BAPT revealed a good ability to classify women with or without breastfeeding. BAPT predicted breastfeeding status at postpartum period but it was not able to predict breastfeeding status in the third trimester of pregnancy. In term construct validity, four-factor solution of original English version was confirmed in Turkish, Persian and English other version.
Conclusion
Overall, the findings of systematic review supported that BAPT may be a valid (content, predictive and construct validity), and reliable (internal consistency and re-test reliability) instrument to use in both researches and clinics to identify mothers who are at risk of breastfeeding stop.- انتشار مقاله: 16-05-1397

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: The attitude towards lactation is one of the best predictors of breastfeeding. Iowa Infant Feeding Attitudes Scale (IIFAS) is used to measure the attitude toward lactation. IIFAS is a valid and reliable tool but factorial structure of this tool was reported various in different studies. The aim of this study is to assess factorial structure of IIFAS.
Materials and Methods: An extensive search was done in databases of databases of Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL until May 2018. Two independent researchers screened articles and in the next step, full texts of probably relevant articles were read and summarized. The quality of studies was performed by COSMIN checklist. The following keywords were used: (Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale OR IIFAS) AND (Factor Analysis OR exploratory factor analysis OR confirmatory factor analysis OR Validity OR psychometric).
Results: Six studies were assessed in systematic review. In Spanish version, single- factor solutions with 9 items in sample of 1,294 pregnancy women was tested and showed a satisfactory fit to the data. In Japanese version, authors provided single-factor- model with 16 items. Factors loading were ranged from -0.06 to 0.68. Arabic version, EFA identified 6 factors with eigenvalues more than 1 explained 61% of total variance. However, scree plot suggested unidimensional structure. In Chinese version, EFA extracted four factors and labeled "Favorable to breastfeeding", "Favorable to formula-feeding", "Convenience" and "Sociological influences". In Canadian and Singapore version, the most sense model based on EFA was a three –factors model and labeled "Favorable to breast feeding", "Convenience" and "Favorable to formula feeding".
Conclusion: Four-factor model and three- factor model can be used in clinical practices and research. There is a need to further test single-factor model.- انتشار مقاله: 23-03-1397

- چکیده انگلیسی: Objective: Metabolic processes in the body of people with and without esophageal cancer (EC) are significantly different. Therefore, changes in the metabolism of amino acids in the body of EC patients can lead to metabolic disorders, such as increased gluconeogenesis. The aim of this study was the comparison of the plasma levels of gluconeogenic amino acids between patients with EC and the control group. Methods: Plasma samples of 37 patients with EC who were selected before any treatment or surgery, and 37 healthy adults who did not have history of family cancer and malignant diseases were taken. Analysis of the plasma levels of amino acids including, alanine, asparagine, aspartate, glutamate, glutamine, glycine, serine, arginine, histidine, methionine, threonine, valine, tyrosine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, tryptophan was done by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) based on reverse-phase-chromatography. Data analysis was done by SPSS-16 software. Results: In the patient group the mean age ± SD was 63±13.64 and 21 (56.8%) were male.The plasma levels of the alanine, asparagine, histidine, methionine, threonine, valine amino acids in the patients with esophageal cancer was significantly reduced and glycine was increased (p-value<0.05). Conclusion: Gluconeogenic amino acids are the main precursor of glucose synthesis in the gluconeogenesis pathway. Cancer cells need more energy to grow and multiply, and glucose is used as the main fuel for cells. Given the importance of metabolic pathways in cancer cells, more detailed studies at the molecular level can provide new insights into early detection and appropriate treatment strategies for cancer.
