For Black mothers, breastfeeding initiation increased significantly from 52% to 66%, but they were significantly less likely to sustain in-hospital breastfeeding compared to nonBlack mothers (69.4% versus 84.6%, p less then 0.0001). Several demographic and medical comorbidities were significantly associated with failure to sustain breastfeeding to hospital discharge. When controlling for these factors, the racial disparity persisted. Conclusions Since BFHI implementation, the racial gap in breastfeeding initiation decreased, but a significant disparity remained for sustained in-hospital breastfeeding. This study highlights the success of the BFHI program, but in the context of the current literature, also reveals the need for further work to ensure interventions are culturally competent and delivered equitably to support sustained breastfeeding for Black women.Literature on the cultural psychological aspect of mental health suggests that antecedents of mental health in individualistic cultures, or societies that prioritize independence, autonomy, and personal uniqueness do not always apply in collectivistic cultures, or societies that prioritize interdependence, social connection, interpersonal harmony, and norms. The aim of the present study was to determine the mechanisms underlying the impact of self-stigma on depression and anxiety in a collectivistic culture such as the Philippines. Specifically, this study sought to examine (1) the mediating role of self-criticism on the impact of self-stigma on depression and anxiety, and (2) the moderating role of interdependent self-construal on the impact of self-criticism on depression and anxiety in Filipinos. Surveys measuring self-stigma, self-criticism, interdependent self-construal, depression, and anxiety symptoms were administered to 312 adolescents in rural communities in the Philippines. Using structural equation modeling, findings revealed indirect effects of self-stigma on both depression and anxiety via self-criticism. Valemetostat 2 inhibitor Findings confirmed that interdependent self-construal attenuate the detrimental impact of self-criticism on depression and anxiety in collectivistic contexts. This study offers novel insights about the underlying mechanisms that operate in the impact of self-stigma on depression and anxiety symptoms among individuals in collectivist contexts. We highlight that self-criticism may have both adaptive and maladaptive functions in collectivist cultures. The study provides implications on the importance of culturally sensitive clinical interventions in preventing depression and anxiety by combating self-stigma and the negative aspect of self-criticism in collectivist cultures. Limitations and future directions are discussed.Living and acting in line with one's implicit motives fosters peoples' well-being across a wide array of cultural contexts. Yet, not all individuals commit to goals that reflect their implicit motives. Research points to resources that relate to congruence of implicit and explicit motives. We hypothesized that such resources also relate to motive-congruent identity development. In detail, we assumed that perceived parenting quality (Study 1) and sense of self-determination (Study 2) moderate the relationship between the implicit need for affiliation and dimensions of identity development in the interpersonal domain of friendship. Evidence supporting our assumptions was found in both studies Among adolescents who reported low levels of parenting quality higher levels of the implicit affiliation motive were associated with lower levels of commitment and higher levels of reconsideration of commitment (Study 1). Moreover, a positive association between the implicit affiliation motive and commitment was verified for adolescents who were high in self-determination (Study 2). Less straightforward findings on in-depth exploration point to the Janus-faced nature of exploration processes. To conclude, the implicit need for affiliation seems to play a crucial role in interpersonal identity development if particular social and personal resources are available. Implications for future research are discussed.Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) developed by Salmonella within animals used for food products is a major global issue. Monitoring AMR in animals destined for slaughter is, therefore, critical. Abattoirs may serve as potential candidate checkpoints for monitoring resistance patterns on farms. A complicating factor, however, is the impact of lairage on Salmonella detected in pigs at slaughter. This study sought to compare AMR patterns in Salmonella spp. in swine collected upon arrival (fecal samples) at the abattoir with those at postslaughter (cecal samples) and evaluate the feasibility of using slaughterhouse samples for surveillance of prevailing AMR Salmonella on farms. Eighty-four Salmonella isolates were recovered from a large, midwestern U.S. abattoir between September and November 2013. Isolates were tested for phenotypic AMR to 12 antimicrobials using the broth microdilution assay. Whole-genome sequencing identified the AMR genes harbored by the strains. Significant differences were observed in the isolate phenotypes and genotypes; however, no significant difference was observed in genotypic resistance patterns. Hence, the AMR profiles of Salmonella spp. postslaughter cannot be predicted from preslaughter samples. Further research considering the genetic diversity of isolates and statistical power of the genotypic analysis is warranted to improve the performance of WGS-inferred antimicrobial susceptibility.
Repetitive throwing in baseball pitchers can lead to pathologic changes in shoulder anatomy, range of motion (notably glenohumeral internal rotation deficit), and subsequent injury; however, the ideal strengthening, recovery, and maintenance protocol of the throwing shoulder in baseball remains unclear. Two strategies for throwing shoulder recovery from pitching are straight-line long-toss (SLT) throwing and ultra-long-toss (ULT) throwing, although neither is preferentially supported by empirical data.
ULT will be more effective in returning baseline internal rotation as compared with SLT in collegiate pitchers after a pitching session.
Cohort study.
Level 3.
A total of 24 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I baseball pitchers with mean age 20.0 ± 1.1 years were randomized to either the ULT group (n = 13; 9 right-hand dominant, 4 left-hand dominant) or SLT group (n = 11; 10 right-hand dominant, 1 left-hand dominant). Measurements (dominant and nondominant, 90° abducted external rotation [ER], internal rotation [IR], and total range of motion [TROM]) were taken at 5 time points across 3 days before and immediately after a standardized bullpen session on day 1; before and immediately after a randomized standardized ULT or SLT session on day 2; and before practice on Day 3.
