Recent research has shown that breastfeeding poses a much lower risk of HIV transmission than previously thought, and in 2009 global guidance that promoted formula to avoid HIV transmission was reversed. Mothers living with HIV can now choose to breastfeed if they wish - but in Western societies with low rates of breastfeeding among all mothers, informed and skilled support can be hard to find. Pamela Morrison, retired IBCLC and author of HIV and Breastfeeding, the definitive work on the subject, has written this short book specifically for HIV-positive mothers, and the health professionals they work with, to offer clear, evidence-based information about breastfeeding in the context of HIV.The book explains: background information about the normal course of lactationhow to initiate and maintain breastfeedinghow to prevent and work through or around difficulties that may arisehow to maintain breastmilk production or breastmilk-feeding if supplements are recommended.The aim is to support mothers living with HIV to reach their goals to breastfeed, and then to stop breastfeeding easily and safely whenever they and their babies are ready.

The calories we eat, and the calories we use while exercising, are the focus of every book on dieting and slimming, but typically, one key topic is missing - mentality. What drives some of us to become overweight and to fail repeatedly to lose weight, and what drives others to be slim, fit and athletic. Without suppressing our 'Fat Mentality', every weight-loss strategy is bound to last only a short time.Psychologically, we all have a 'Fat Mentality' and 'Fit Mentality'. These two components of our eating and exercise mindset co-exist, and are forever in opposition. The 'Fat Mentality' promotes our inactivity, self-indulgence and weight gain; our 'Fit Mentality' drives our desire for activity and the disciplined control of everything we do. Because they direct what we eat, and what exercise we choose to do, they will affect our body weight.A better understanding of the 'Fat Mentality' is crucial to everyone who has repeatedly failed to lose weight. Because it can so easily overwhelm whatever strategy we adopt, ignoring it is not an option for those who wish to succeed. In matters of weight control, we must consider our attitude to food and exercise, alongside food calories, portion sizes, carbohydrates in food, and the latest information about our genes, gut hormones and gut biome. A discussion of all the long-known, and new weight loss interventions, will enable individuals to choose the strategies that suit them best.Given the liability of overweight people to diabetes and heart disease, I have added something new to the weight loss debate.

A 2022 Choice Reviews Outstanding Academic TitleDispels the myths surrounding head impacts in youth sports and empowers parents to make informed decisions about sports participation"They're just little kids, they don't hit that hard or that much."

A look at the long history of vaccines, yesterday, today and still to come.Once largely an issue for parents and children, vaccines now occupy a central space in the very heart of our national conversation. We've all been forced to think about this subject closely for over two years. In the absence of a COVID-19 vaccine, thousands of deaths from a single virus once again swept the earth. Millions of Americans now suffer from the aftermath as they cope with the effects of long haul COVID.Life Before and After Vaccines moves the reader from the early history of vaccines into modern conversations about this subject. In the book, the author connects the dots between the modern anti-vax movement and previous anti-vax movements. She will help readers understand the history of vaccines and the equally long history of vaccination opposition. Life Before and After Vaccines also explores the many large and small ways that lack of access to vaccination has meant societal change, and includes updates on several of the topics in the author's previous work.

The tiny nematode, C. elegans, plays a big role in biological research. But studying their behavior, lifespan, and responses to various stimuli traditionally involves manual observation under a microscope, a tedious and time-consuming process. This project aims to revolutionize this field by developing new methods for automating C. elegans experiments using "active vision."Imagine a system that doesn't just passively observe the worms, but actively adapts its vision to get the best possible view. This is achieved through intelligent lighting control, optimized camera positioning, and cutting-edge image processing techniques. By analyzing these images, the system can automatically count worms, track their movements, and even classify their health status.The benefits are manifold. Automation frees up researchers' time, allowing them to focus on data analysis and interpretation. It also improves data consistency and reduces human error, leading to more reliable results. Moreover, active vision allows for continuous monitoring, capturing subtle changes in behavior that might be missed by manual observation.This technology has broad applications. It can be used to study the effects of drugs, mutations, and environmental factors on C. elegans, accelerating research in aging, neurodegenerative diseases, and other areas. Additionally, it can be adapted to automate experiments with other small model organisms, further expanding its impact.This project is not just about automating tasks; it's about opening a new window into the world of C. elegans. By harnessing the power of active vision, we unlock new possibilities for understanding these tiny creatures and their role in biology and medicine.
