Approaches toward improvement in women's and children's health

Article Abstract:

Breastfeeding is known to have significant benefits for health of infants and is a factor in fecundity regulation for mothers. Mechanisms are not always well understood; variation exists across individuals and across populations. A fruitful area for further research lies in exploration of human lactation within an ecological framework, looking at different behaviors, among them different degrees of suckling activity. Cultural factors enter in, and implications are more than theoretical when it is considered that many places in the world lack safe water supplies and fuel and that some are in deserts.

Immunostimulation and growth faltering in UK infants

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to determine whether chronic immunostimulation could explain growth faltering in disadvantaged children in the UK, as it does in developing countries such as The Gambia. Further, hemoglobin concentrations are determined by routine hospital laboratory analysis.
