This refers to both the quality and the quantity of language used by the caregiver. In cases where the primary caregiver is a mother who is suffering from maternal postpartum depression, the quality and quantity of speech and language used to suffer greatly. This article examines how maternal postpartum depression negatively affects a mother’s use of Infant Directed Speech (IDS) and how this results in delayed language learning in infants. It first seeks to define the linguistic and emotional aspects of IDS in order to place maternal depression in its context. It then examines how children are negatively impacted by this and briefly looks at gender influences and possible solutions for this problem. This study makes use of and combines the results of previous research conducted on varying aspects of the effects of maternal postpartum depression on IDS and infant cognitive ability. The studies used tracked the cognitive developments of infants ranging from 2 months to 4 years of age; They each collected data from infants who had depressed and non-depressed mothers. In all cases, the results showed that maternal postpartum depression negatively affects IDS and infant cognitive ability.","PeriodicalId":162243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical and Health Studies","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133175784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The serum levels of TC, triglycerides (TG), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) in 46 male patients (cases) who underwent prostate biopsy were measured over an eighteen month period. There were 32 patients without PCa who served as controls. The serum lipid concentrations between cases and controls were compared using an independent samples t-test. Multiple linear regression and binary logistic regression were used to assess the relationship between lipids and overall PCa, as well as disease severity. Based on the results, there were no significant differences between the concentrations of lipids for the cases and controls. The results of the regression analysis revealed that the serum lipid levels were not significant predicators of overall PCa. The outcomes of the binary regression analysis showed the same for PCa severity.

Obesity in Indonesia has become a national problem that must be addressed immediately. This study was to determine the effectiveness of aerobic exercise (Zumba) and cinnamon bark tea on body fat composition in obese women. This study was conducted on 75 respondents consisting of 36 aerobics (Zumba) and 39 people for 24 days with purposive accidental sampling. This type of research is a Quasy Experiment with a pre-posttest design with the control group. Statistical test using paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test with an alpha value of 0.05 (a = 0.05) was conducted. The results showed that the average body fat before aerobic exercise (Zumba) was 36.14%, and the average after aerobic exercise was 35.59%, so the difference between the two was 0.55%; paired t-test p-value = 0.001. The average body fat composition before drinking cinnamon bark tea was 38.46%, and the average body fat composition after drinking cinnamon bark was 37.82%.

The study concluded that aerobic exercise (Zumba) and drinking cinnamon bark tea can reduce body fat, but what is more effective is drinking cinnamon bark tea. The study recommended that reducing body fat in obesity will be even better when the aerobic exercise routine is accompanied by regular consumption of cinnamon bark 2 times a day for 60 minutes.","PeriodicalId":162243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical and Health Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134148702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In COVID-19 infection, there may be a high inflammatory response, causing thromboinflammatory processes through cytokine storm mechanisms, complement activation, and endothelial damage. Thus, the sequence of events can be seen from increased levels of CRP, fibrinogen, and other acute-phase proteins synthesized by the liver. The CRP value is useful for assessing the degree of inflammation which is widely used in predicting disease severity, prognosis, and mortality in COVID-19 patients, while fibrinogen levels are useful for assessing the severity of disease and hypercoagulation in COVID-19 patients.
