functions including the sleep-wake cycle. The structure of sleep is viewed as a compilation and product of a broad range of stimuli from biological and external factors. It is evident that nighttime sleep patterns are developed in infancy (E. Fazzi et al., 2006) and excessive sleep awakenings decrease (Weinraub et al., 2012). Not all infants demonstrate this decline, 30% of infants and toddlers continue to experience multiple and prolonged nocturnal awakenings. Disruptive sleep-wake cycles may indicate
basic biological needs. This time may represent a psychophysiology (which is the way the body and mind work together) ‘sensitive period’ for programing future behavior” (Moore R 1). Early skin-to-skin contact for mothers and their healthy newborn infants will reduce the the baby’s crying, improves the mother to baby interactions, keeps the baby warmer, and helps the mother breastfeed successfully
studies involved term but also preterm infants and used a variety of research methodologies. These were published between 2007 and the present. Physiological Adaptation of the Newborn The systematic review by Moore et al. (2012, 5) also investigated the outcomes of SSC on several parameters of neonatal physiological adaptation, namely heart rate, respiratory rate, blood glucose level, thermoregulation, and daily growth rate. In a subgroup of late preterm infants, there was a
Obesity means excess body fat, BMI is reasonably accurate method for predicting adiposity and can be easily used as screening tool (Rome, 2011). The definition of pediatric obesity is not usually easy. Because directly measuring body fat is difficult and time consuming, the measurement of BMI is most commonly used. However, BMI does not always accurately reflect body composition. For example, athletes with high muscle mass and an extremely low body fat may have obese BMIs. The use of
Colorado Springs and was primarily raised by her mother. She shared that her parents separated when she was an infant and has two brothers, one is incarcerated in Colorado for distribution of a controlled substance, and she is unaware the location of her second brother. She has 2 children: Isaiah, 8, and Angela, 4 years; Isaiah lives with his father in Washington and Angela resides with her maternal grandparents. Ms. Smith states she lost custody of her children due to her substance abuse issues and mental

laboratory study of sleep deprivation, researchers employed a variety of techniques to keep volunteers awake for variable amounts of time. One group of participants was kept awake for 24 hours, and the other was kept awake for 48 hours. During periods of forced wakefulness, participants were required to engage verbal learning tasks such as memorizing the definitions of obscure English words. At the conclusion of the period of forced wakefulness, participants were allowed to sleep for as
Nursing in 3D: Diversity, Disparities, and Social Determinants The Social Determinants of Health: It’s Time to Consider the Causes of the Causes Paula Braveman, MD, MPHa Laura Gottlieb, MD, MPHb ABSTRACT During the past two decades, the public health community’s attention has been drawn increasingly to the social determinants of health (SDH)—the factors apart from medical care that can be influenced by social policies and shape health in powerful ways. We use “medical care” rather
