Stable angina pectoris (SAP) is one of the common types of CAD. However, the association between SAP and aortic stiffness metrics remains poorly understood. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) measurement of ascending aorta motion velocity may be used to employed to assess the elastic properties of the great arteries. We hypothesized that non-CAD individuals may exhibit higher. TDI velocities in the ascending aorta. Aim: To explore the correlation between ascending aortic stiffness and SAP using parameters derived from two-dimensional and TDI echocardiography of the ascending aorta. Methods: This study comprised 118 patients with clinically suspected SAP. Two-dimensional echocardiography, TDI, electrocardiogram (ECG), and coronary angiography (CAG) were performed on all patients. Patients with coronary lumen area stenosis ≥70% were categorized as having significant CAD (CAD Group n=57) and were compared with patients without significant CAD (non-CAD Group n=61). Using TDI, aortic systolic velocity (SAo), early diastolic velocity (EAo), and late diastolic velocity (AAo) were measured from the anterior wall of the ascending aorta 3 cm above the aortic cusps in the parasternal long-axis view. Aortic stiffness index (β), aortic distensibility (D), and pressure-strain elastic modulus (Ep) were calculated from aortic diameters measured by two-dimensional M-mode echocardiography and blood pressure obtained by sphygmomanometry. Results: SAo was significantly higher in the non-CAD group (11.70 ±1.53 cm/s vs.12.80 ±2.21 cm/s, p < 0.05). EAo and AAo velocities of ascending aorta were similar in control and CAD groups. Based on the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) for diagnosing non-CAD, the optimal cut-off value of SAo was ≥13.35 cm/s (sensitivity, 85.96%; specificity, 40.98%; area under curve (AUC)=0.64; P<0.05). There was a significant correlation between SAo velocity and β (r=−0.34, P<0.05), D (r=0.32, P<0.05) and Ep (r =−0.29, P<0.05). Conclusions: Arterial stiffness is lower in patients without significant CAD. Measuring SAo of the anterior ascending aorta using TDI echocardiography has good sensitivity but poor specificity in patients without significant coronary artery stenosis in SAP.\u0000","PeriodicalId":367287,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Public Health","volume":" 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141127022","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}

Inadequate breastfeeding practices during this period considerably compromise the health, development and survival of infants, children and mothers. Several studies have assessed the impact of breastfeeding on infant mortality. The objectives of our study were to investigate changes in exclusive breastfeeding practices during the first six months of life according to DHS data from 2010-2011 to 2019 and to identify the various associated factors. Methodology: This is a quantitative analysis of secondary data based on cross-sectional data from the DHS from 2010-2011 to 2019 on changes in exclusive breastfeeding practices for infants under six months of age. Our study focused on women aged 15 to 49 years interviewed during the DHS and residing in Senegal at the time of the various surveys who had children under two years of age. Data were collected on exclusive breastfeeding rates in different years, the socio-demographic and gyneco-obstetric characteristics of mothers, and the characteristics of newborn children. A multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding. Results: showed that exclusive breastfeeding rates remained below 50% from 2010-11 to 2019. Analysis by region showed a disparity between the different regions. The associated factors were: ethnic group: Wolof are less likely to practice EBF with an adjusted AOR of 0.59 with a CI₉₅: [0.38, 0. 90], maternal literacy: mothers who could not read were less likely to perform EBF with an adjusted AOR of 0.71 and a CI₉₅: [0.53-095], birth order: mothers with 6 or more children were more likely to perform EBF, with an AOR of 3.20 and a CI₉₅: [1.68-6.17], maternal occupation: Working mothers were less likely to practice EBF than non-working mothers, with an AOR of 0.60 and a CI₉₅ [0.46-0.79], access to the media: Mothers with access to the media were less likely to practice assisted fertilization, with an AOR of 0.57 and a CI₉₅: [0.37-0.90] and use of modern contraception: Mothers using modern contraception were less likely to practice exclusive breastfeeding, with an AOR of 0.53 and a CI₉₅: [0.38-0.72]. Conclusion: Despite all the efforts made by the Senegalese government and its technical and financial partners, rates are still low. To strengthen the practice of exclusive breastfeeding, it is important and urgent to design and implement innovative evidence-based interventions covering the different levels of the socio-ecological model (individuals, families, communities and public policies).\u0000","PeriodicalId":367287,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Public Health","volume":" 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141128817","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}
