Methods: To do this, a cross-sectional and analytical study was conducted in the Anono Urban Community Health Service with 362 mothers interviewed using survey cards. The socio-economic characteristics, the choice of breastfeeding, the type of breastfeeding influencing breastfeeding were studied. The study ran from March to April 2018. The data was processed using Excel 2007. Results: The results showed that some factors hinder exclusive breastfeeding. Mothers' function was an impediment to exclusive breastfeeding, 43.93% were civil servants and 29.56% were students and 26.51% were housewives or shopkeepers. In our study, more than 40% of mothers did not practice exclusive breastfeeding for a cosmetic problem, 31% were related to the sex of the baby, 15% associated with caesarean delivery, 11% for low education level and 2.5% because of the age of the mother. Among the civil servant mothers, or students, 100% practiced mixed breastfeeding. Overall (362) of the mothers surveyed, over 54% practiced mixed breastfeeding. The majority of these mothers introduced water (52%), fruit juice (24%), cereals (15%) and herbal teas at 9%. More than 47% were unable to practice exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months. In this study there is a problem of satiety at 25.41%, insufficient milk secretion 19.34% and other conditions contraindicated for exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion: The factors of the non-practice of exclusive breastfeeding were low education level, function, early introduction of solid foods, aesthetic problem, and unavailability of time of mothers, satiety problem, insufficient milk secretion and conditions for breastfeeding. These factors will have to be taken into account in the strategy to increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding and its continuation up to six months in mothers in communes where the standard of living is relatively high.","PeriodicalId":91127,"journal":{"name":"Journal of palliative care & medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2165-7386.1000348","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70684734","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}

There are many types of cerebral palsy, of which spastic cerebral palsy is the most common form and is the type seen in 75 to 80 percent of cases. Spasticity is a common symptom seen after upper motor neuron syndrome. Spasticity due to neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy results from a significant increase in muscle tone and muscle tightness, limiting movement and joint mobility. Tight muscles cause a decrease in range of motion and limited joint mobility. This leads to an abnormal gait commonly observed as scissors, with 1 foot crossing in front of the other at each step. There are different physical therapies and modalities used in the treatment of muscle tightness caused by cerebral palsy, but have not yielded satisfactory results. The tightness of the bilateral adductors also influences the calf muscle, pulling the toes toward the ground and lifting the heel from the affected floor. The most commonly used techniques are passive stretching. Passive stretching uses an external force applied by the therapist to stretch the tense muscles. It shouldn't be painful, and excessive stretching can cause muscle damage. This stretching position is maintained for about 30 seconds and repeated several times to maintain the length. According to physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics in North America, passive stretching alone is not effective in improving long-term muscle tightness in children with cerebral palsy. Although passive stretching continues to be common among the long-standing component of physiotherapy programs, research has not proven effective over the long term. Passive stretching combined with active exercise has also shown little benefit in improving muscle strength. There is no specific division used which has shown an advantage in sealing the adductor muscles. Therefore, we need to look for new feelings in physical modalities or techniques that can show long-term results on muscle oppression. Reliable and valid tools should be used should be used to accurately assess spasticity in clinical practice and for research purposes. Results from several studies have shown that the interrater and intra-rater reliability of the modified Ashworth scale stated that repetition of measurements by the same physiotherapist and experience may not affect the reliability of the scale modified from Ashworth. The modified BohannonSmith Ashworth scale (MAS) was recently modified and is an ordinal measure of spasticity, which ranks the intensity of spasticity from 0 to 4. Recent studies on the modified modified Ashworth scale (MMAS) are a reliable measure to assess spasticity of the upper or lower limbs of patients with spasticity. Therefore, in this study, we used the modified Ashworth scale to record the basic study data.

Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts with consensus agreement. We undertook quality assessment according to GRADE criteria. Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) that assessed the effectiveness of EPC in adult patients with a diagnosisadvanced cancer were included. The quantitative evidence was summarized in a meta-analysis using random effect models.Results: The selection phase retrieved 14,026 records, 7 papers were included in the meta-analysis. The standardized mean difference the outcomes assessed were: improvement quality of life (0.17 higher; 95% CI; 0.05, 0.29) after 3 months, (0.42 higher; 95% CI; 0.21, 0.63) after 6 months, and (0.16 higher; 95% CI; -0.20, 0.53) after 12 months; improvement of symptom intensity (-0.13 lower; 95% CI; -0.26, 0.00) after 3 months, (-0.27 lower; 95% CI; -0.53, -0.01) after 6 months, and (-0.39 lower; 95% CI; -0.76, -0.03) after 12 months; improve depressive mood (-0.19 lower; 95% CI; - 0.36, -0.01) after 3 months, (-0.21 lower; 95% CI; -0.45, 0.04) after 6 months, and (-0.09 lower; 95% CI; -0.81, 0.63) after 12 months; and survival (OR = 0.71 higher; 95% CI; 0.51, 0.99).Conclusion: Our findings suggest that EPC effectively improves quality of life and consequently increases the likelihood of survival of patients with advanced or metastatic cancer.
