Mapping inequalities in exclusive breastfeeding in low- and middle-income countries, 2000–2018

Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF)-giving infants only breast-milk for the first 6 months of life-is a component of optimal breastfeeding practices effective in preventing child morbidity and mortality. EBF practices are known to vary by population and comparable subnational estimates of prevalence and progress across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are required for planning policy and interventions. Here we present a geospatial analysis of EBF prevalence estimates from 2000 to 2018 across 94 LMICs mapped to policy-relevant administrative units (for example, districts), quantify subnational inequalities and their changes over time, and estimate probabilities of meeting the World Health Organization's Global Nutrition Target (WHO GNT) of ≥70% EBF prevalence by 2030. While six LMICs are projected to meet the WHO GNT of ≥70% EBF prevalence at a national scale, only three are predicted to meet the target in all their district-level units by 2030.This work was primarily supported by grant no.

Recetario aplicado al deporte

La nutrición deportiva es una de las facetas más importantes a tener en cuenta por el deportista, tanto para la optimización del rendimiento y la adecuada recuperación, como para conservar o mejorar su salud. Es por ello que se suele denominar a la nutrición deportiva como “el entrenamiento invisible”, junto a otros hábitos como el sueño, descanso, gestión del estrés, etc. Una de las claves en cualquier planificación nutricional, sea enfocada a deportistas o no, es conseguir la máxima adherencia a dicha planificación por parte del sujeto. Sin adherencia, cualquier planificación nutricional será un fracaso absoluto. Además, cuando hablamos de nutrición deportiva, tenemos que tener también en cuenta la facilidad de elaboración de recetas y la aplicabilidad práctica. Este ebook es una herramienta para dietistas-nutricionistas y deportistas que tiene la finalidad de garantizar la adecuada ingesta de nutrientes pre, intra y post entrenamiento/competición en el deportista

The MIGREX study: Prevalence and risk factors of sexual dysfunction among migraine patients

Background: Migraine attacks have a high impact on daily activities. There is limited research on the burden of migraine on sexual functioning. Objective: To determine the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in patients with migraine and its relationship with migraine features and comorbidities. Method: This is a cross-sectional study. We included migraine patients between 18 and 60 years-old from 8 Headache Clinics in Spain. We recorded demographic data and migraine features. Patients fulfilled a survey including comorbidities, Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and a questionnaire about migraine impact on sexual activity. A K-nearest neighbor supervised learning algorithm was used to identify differences between migraine patients with and without sexual dysfunction. Results: We included 306 patients (85.6% women, mean age 42.3 ±11.1 years). A 41.8% of participants had sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction was associated with being female (OR [95% CI]: 2.42 [1.17–5.00]; p < 0.001), being older than 46.5 years (4.04 [2.48–6.59]; p < 0.001), having chronic migraine (2.31 [1.41–3.77]; p = 0.001), using preventive medication (2.45 [1.35–4.45]; p = 0.004), analgesic overusing (3.51 [2.03–6.07]; p < 0.001), menopause (4.18 [2.43–7.17]; p < 0.001) and anxiety (2.90 [1.80–4.67]; p < 0.001) and depression (6.14 [3.18–11.83]; p < 0.001). However, only female gender, age, menopause and depression were the statistically significant variables selected in the model to classify migraine patients with or without sexual dysfunction (Accuracy [95% CI]: 0.75 (0.62–0.85), Kappa: 0.48, p = 0.005). Conclusions: Sexual dysfunction is frequent in migraine patients visited in a headache clinic. However, migraine characteristics or use of preventive medication are not directly associated with sexual dysfunction. Instead, risk factors for sexual dysfunction were female gender, higher age, menopause and depression. Resumen: Antecedentes: La migraña tiene un alto impacto en las actividades diarias, pero los datos sobre el impacto de la migraña en el funcionamiento sexual son limitados. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de disfunción sexual en pacientes con migraña y su relación con las características y comorbilidades de la migraña. Métodos: Este es un estudio transversal. Se incluyeron pacientes con migraña de entre 18 y 60 años de ocho consultas de cefalea en España. Registramos datos demográficos y características de migraña. Los pacientes completaron una encuesta que incluía comorbilidades, la Escala de Experiencias Sexuales de Arizona, la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión Hospitalaria y un cuestionario sobre el impacto de la migraña en la actividad sexual. Se usó un algoritmo de aprendizaje supervisado (k-nearest neighbors) para identificar diferencias entre pacientes con migraña, con y sin disfunción sexual. Resultados: Se incluyeron 306 pacientes (85,6% mujeres, edad media 42,3 ± 11,1 años). El 41,8% de los participantes tenía disfunción sexual. La disfunción sexual se asoció con ser mujer (OR [95%]: 2,42 [1,17-5,00]; p < 0,001), tener más de 46,5 años (4,04 [2,48-6,59]; p < 0,001), tener migraña crónica (2,31 [1,41-3,77]; p = 0,001), uso de medicación preventiva (2,45 [1,35-4.45]; p = 0,004), uso excesivo de analgésicos (3,51 [2,03-6,07]; p < 0,001), menopausia (4,18 [2,43-7,17]; p < 0,001), ansiedad (2,90 [1,80-4,67]; p < 0,001) y depresión (6,14 [3,18-11,83]; p < 0,001). Sin embargo, solo el sexo femenino, la edad, la menopausia y la depresión fueron las variables estadísticamente significativas seleccionadas en el modelo para clasificar a los pacientes con migraña, con o sin disfunción sexual (precisión [IC 95%]: 0,75 (0,62-0,85), kappa: 0,48, p = 0,005). Conclusiones: La disfunción sexual es frecuente en pacientes con migraña que son visitados en una consulta de cefalea. Sin embargo, las características de la migraña o el uso de medicamentos preventivos no están directamente asociados con la disfunción sexual. En cambio, el sexo femenino, mayor edad, menopausia y depresión son los factores de riesgo para la disfunción sexual en este grupo de pacientes

Increased risk of revision of cementless stemmed total hip arthroplasty with metal-on-metal bearings

<div><p><b>Background and purpose —</b> Data from the national joint registries in Australia and England and Wales have revealed inferior medium-term survivorship for metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) than for metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) THA. Based on data from the Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association (NARA), we compared the revision risk of cementless stemmed THA with MoM and MoP bearings and we also compared MoM THA to each other.</p><p><b>Patients and methods —</b> We identified 32,678 patients who were operated from 2002 through 2010 with cementless stemmed THA with either MoM bearings (11,567 patients, 35%) or MoP bearings (21,111 patients, 65%). The patients were followed until revision, death, emigration, or the end of the study period (December 31, 2011), and median follow-up was 3.6 (interquartile range (IQR): 2.4–4.8) years for MoM bearings and 3.4 (IQR: 2.0–5.8) years for MoP bearings. Multivariable regression in the presence of competing risk of death was used to assess the relative risk (RR) of revision for any reason (with 95% confidence interval (CI)).</p><p><b>Results —</b> The cumulative incidence of revision at 8 years of follow-up was 7.0% (CI: 6.0–8.1) for MoM bearings and 5.1% (CI: 4.7–5.6) for MoP bearings. At 6 years of follow-up, the RR of revision for any reason was 1.5 (CI: 1.3–1.7) for MoM bearings compared to MoP bearings. The RR of revision for any reason was higher for the ASR (adjusted RR = 6.4, CI: 5.0–8.1), the Conserve Plus (adjusted RR = 1.7, CI: 1.1–2.5) and “other” acetabular components (adjusted RR = 2.4, CI: 1.5–3.9) than for MoP THA at 6 years of follow-up.</p><p><b>Interpretation —</b> At medium-term follow-up, the survivorship for cementless stemmed MoM THA was inferior to that for MoP THA, and metal-related problems may cause higher revision rates for MoM bearings with longer follow-up.</p></div
