Subjects: WP10

description: The present deliverable documents the achievement of Task 10.4 towards a universal adoption of natural refrigerants for future generations of detectors, covering in particular situations where water or boiling CO2 flows cannot be used. The programme announced in the submitted proposal has been extended thanks to synergies with internal funds to the case of ultra-cold detectors, requiring operation below the limit temperatures achievable with boiling CO2. Two natural fluids have been considered: supercritical carbon dioxide and Krypton. Based on the outcome of scientific literature review and theoretical studies, two new dedicated test setups have been designed, built and launched in operation.

description: In a draining rotating fluid flow background, surface perturbations behave as a scalar field on a rotating effective black hole spacetime. We propose a new model for the background flow which takes into account the varying depth of the water. Numerical integration of the associated Klein-Gordon equation using accessible experimental parameters shows that gravity waves in an appropriate frequency range are amplified through the mechanism of superradiance. Our numerical results suggest that the observation of this phenomenon in a common fluid mechanical system is within experimental reach. Unlike the case of wave scattering around Kerr black holes, which depends only on one dimensionless background parameter (the ratio $a/M$ between the specific angular momentum and the mass of the black hole), our system depends on two dimensionless background parameters, namely the normalized angular velocity and surface gravity at the effective black hole horizon.

description: The dynamics of topological domains which break parity (${\cal P}$) and charge-parity (${\cal CP}$) symmetry of QCD are studied. We derive in a general setting that those local domains will generate an axial current and quantify the strength of the induced axial current. Our findings are verified in a top-down holographic model. The relation between the real time dynamics of those local domains and chiral magnetic effect is also elucidated. We finally argue that such an induced axial current would be phenomenologically important if topological domains are created in heavy-ion collisions experiment.

description: Low dimensional behavior of two ultra-cold atoms trapped in two-and one-dimensional waveguides is investigated in the vicinity of a magnetic Feshbach resonance. A quantitative two-channel model for the Feshbach mechanism is used allowing an exhaustive analysis of low-dimensional resonant scattering behavior and of the confinement induced bound states. The role of the different parameters of the resonance is depicted in this context. Results are compared with the ones of the zero-range approach. The relevance of the effective range approximation in low dimensions is studied. Examples of known resonances are used to illustrate the bound state properties.

description: Avocado fruit contains lipid derivatives with antimicrobial properties called acetogenins. In this study, antimicrobial spectrum of purified acetogenins was characterized. Additionally, eight Gram-positive bacteria were exposed to commercial food preservatives (Nisaplin® and Mirenat®) for comparison. Acetogenins were also added to a food system containing meat, inoculated with Listeria monocytogenes and stored at 20°C and 4°C. Avocado seed extract (Avosafe®) contained 71.3% w/w total acetogenins, its main components were AcO-avocadene and persenone A (22.05 ± 1.84 and 20.14 ± 1.40% w/w, respectively). Avosafe® (15 µg disc−1) inhibited Gram-positive bacteria, with higher efficacy towards spore-formers (Clostridium sporogenes, C. perfringens, Bacillus subtilis, and Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius). Acetogenins’ inhibition zones were 2–4 times higher compared to Nisaplin® and Mirenat® for Gram-positive bacteria, except for Staphylococcus aureus. During refrigerated storage (4°C, 72 d), Avosafe® inhibited L. monocytogenes completely; decreasing initial 3-log inoculum to undetectable levels within 3 h, and maintaining the effect to completion.

description: South Korea has the highest suicide rates among the OECD countries and among the Korean population, those 60 years of age and over have the highest suicide rates. Several studies have investigated the link between sociodemographic or socioeconomic factors and mental health among the Korean elderly population. However, there have been limited studies that explore deeper by examining the social determinants of health factors (economic instability, education inaccessibility and quality, health care inaccessibility and quality, and neighborhood and environmental conditions) together about mental health issues, specifically suicidal behaviors, with the intent of improving this population’s quality of life. Therefore, this study focuses on examining the impact of social determinants of suicide among the elderly in South Korean society and determining how it affects their quality of life. Due to the limitations of COVID-19, this study used a mixed methodology approach by analyzing several media articles, academic articles, books, and statistical information that have focused on the elderly population and their (mental) health status. This study has found that older Korean men who have financial difficulties, live in rural areas, have drinking and smoking problems, have lower educational attainment, and live alone tend to have lower mental and general health literacy, higher depression levels, and higher loneliness levels. Thus, resulting in higher suicide lethality rates and higher suicide completion rates. In terms of suicide methods, they tended to favor hanging as their preferred method of committing suicide, compared to the U.S, where American older white men preferred a gun to complete the act. Based on these findings, this study proposes that the Korean government and families increase their support for the older generation. Increased social support and community involvement have reduced the aging population’s depression and loneliness rates, thus decreasing their suicide ideation and suicide rates. Therefore, it is crucial to have a more aggressive approach in implementing welfare programs, health care programs, and community programs to improve and increase their social interactions, physical exercise, and literacy rates. Also, since suicide prevalence varies significantly among sex, gender, and age-related factors, it is necessary to create programs targeting the elderly in different situations (i.e., marital status, depression levels, geographical location).

Structured scale-dependence in the Lyapunov exponent of a Boolean chaotic map

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report on structures in a scale-dependent Lyapunov exponent of an experimental chaotic map that arise due to discontinuities in the map. The chaos is realized in an autonomous Boolean network which is constructed using asynchronous logic gates to form a map operator that outputs an unclocked pulse-train of varying widths. The map operator executes pulse-width stretching and folding and the operator's output is fed back to its input to continuously iterate the map. Using a simple model, we show that the structured scale-dependence in the system's Lyapunov exponent is the result of the discrete logic elements in the map operator's stretching function.

The CP violating phases in BLMSSM are more than those in the standard model(SM) and can give large contributions. The analysis of the EDMs for the leptons $e,μ, τ$ is shown in this work. It is in favour of exploring the source of CP violation and probing the physics beyond SM.

description: Introduction: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) causes neuroinflammation that may contribute to the pathophysiology underlying Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Supplementation with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has shown success in mitigating effects of PAE in animal models, however, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Some PUFA metabolites, specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), play a role in the resolution phase of inflammation, and receptors for these are in the brain. Methods: To test the hypothesis that the SPM receptors FPR2 and ChemR23 play a role in PAE-induced behavioral deficits, we exposed pregnant wild-type (WT) and knockout (KO) mice to alcohol in late gestation and behaviorally tested male and female offspring as adolescents and young adults. Results: Maternal and fetal outcomes were not different among genotypes, however, growth and behavioral phenotypes in the offspring did differ and the effects of PAE were unique to each line. In the absence of PAE, ChemR23 KO animals showed decreased anxiety-like behavior on the elevated plus maze and FPR2 KO had poor grip strength and low activity compared to age-matched WT mice. WT mice showed improved performance on fear conditioning between adolescence and young adulthood, this was not seen in either KO. Discussion: This PAE model has subtle effects on WT behavior with lower activity levels in young adults, decreased grip strength in males between test ages, and decreased response to the fear cue indicating an effect of alcohol exposure on learning. The PAE-mediated decreased response to the fear cue was also seen in ChemR23 KO but not FPR2 KO mice, and PAE worsened performance of adolescent FPR2 KO mice on grip strength and activity. Collectively, these findings provide mechanistic insight into how PUFAs could act to attenuate cognitive impairments caused by PAE.

description: We consider quantum metrology for unitary evolutions generated by parameter-dependent Hamiltonians. We focus on the unitary evolutions generated by the Ising Hamiltonian that describes the dynamics of a one-dimensional chain of spins with nearest-neighbour interactions and in the pres- ence of a global, transverse, magnetic field. We analytically solve the problem and show that the precision with which one can estimate the magnetic field (interaction strength) given one knows the interaction strength (magnetic field) scales at the Heisenberg limit, and can be achieved by a linear superposition of the vacuum and N free fermion states. In addition, we show that GHZ-type states exhibit Heisenberg scaling in precision throughout the entire regime of parameters. Moreover, we numerically observe that the optimal precision using a product input state scales at the standard quantum limit.
description: 9 pages, 3 figures. Comments are most welcomed. In version 2 we have replaced Section 4 with the analytical results for estimating parameters using GHZ-type states. References have been updated and there is also a discussion concerning the duality of the one-dimensional Ising model. Version 3 is the published version

description: Caloric restriction and aerobic and resistance exercise are safe and effective lifestyle interventions for achieving weight loss in the obese older population (>65 years) and may improve physical function and quality of life. However, individual responses are heterogeneous. Our goal was to explore the use of untargeted metabolomics to identify metabolic phenotypes associated with achieving weight loss after a multi-component weight loss intervention. Forty-two older adults with obesity (body mass index, BMI, ≥30 kg/m2) participated in a six-month telehealth-based weight loss intervention. Each received weekly dietitian visits and twice-weekly physical therapist-led group strength training classes with a prescription for aerobic exercise. We categorized responders’ weight loss using a 5% loss of initial body weight as a cutoff. Baseline serum samples were analyzed to determine the variable importance to the projection (VIP) of signals that differentiated the responder status of metabolic profiles. Pathway enrichment analysis was conducted in Metaboanalyst. Baseline data did not differ significantly. Weight loss was 7.2 ± 2.5 kg for the 22 responders, and 2.0 ± 2.0 kg for the 20 non-responders. Mummichog pathway enrichment analysis revealed that perturbations were most significant for caffeine and caffeine-related metabolism (p = 0.00028). Caffeine and related metabolites, which were all increased in responders, included 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine (VIP = 2.0, p = 0.033, fold change (FC) = 1.9), theophylline (VIP = 2.0, p = 0.024, FC = 1.8), paraxanthine (VIP = 2.0, p = 0.028, FC = 1.8), 1-methylxanthine (VIP = 1.9, p = 0.023, FC = 2.2), 5-acetylamino-6-amino-3-methyluracil (VIP = 2.2, p = 0.025, FC = 2.2), 1,3-dimethyl uric acid (VIP = 2.1, p = 0.023, FC = 2.3), and 1,7-dimethyl uric acid (VIP = 2.0, p = 0.035, FC = 2.2). Increased levels of phytochemicals and microbiome-related metabolites were also found in responders compared to non-responders. In this pilot weight loss intervention, older adults with obesity and evidence of significant enrichment for caffeine metabolism were more likely to achieve ≥5% weight loss. Further studies are needed to examine these associations in prospective cohorts and larger randomized trials.

Implementation of a high-fidelity postpartum hemorrhage simulation drill: identifying latent safety threats and providing recommendations to close system gaps
Creators: name: St. Hubert, Luzeberte
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Purpose of Project: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a potentially life-threatening complication for which early recognition and treatment are critical to ensure the best maternal outcome. Using a high-fidelity, multidisciplinary in-situ PPH simulation drill and debriefing, this quality improvement (QI) project aimed to detect system errors/threats and solicit institutional-specific recommendations to minimize those threats. Methodology: A convenience sample of multidisciplinary providers who care for patients experiencing PPH were recruited for this project. There were two implementation phases; preparation and simulation followed by data analysis and recommendations for change. The preparation phase involved scheduling multiple meetings with key collaborators, developing a simulation scenario, and ensuring the necessary supplies were available. The simulation and debriefing phases involved a participant- and facilitator-guided primary PPH drill, systems gap debriefing questionnaire, and recommendations to close identified gaps. Results: Through direct observation, structured debriefing, and analysis of Labor and Delivery Event Debrief Forms, 19 latent safety threats were identified. These threats were classified into five categories: communication/teamwork, training, system process, human factors, and equipment. Recommendations such as storing Jada systems in the postpartum unit were offered to minimize threats and close gaps.Implications for Practice: Simulation drills are integral to identifying system/institutional-specific system errors. Once those errors are recognized, QI measures must be implemented to close those gaps. For this setting, changes may include, but are not limited to, continuation of in-situ simulations for PPH and other high-risk events, annual policy review and updates, education, and integration of portable mobile devices to improve communication and response times.

Electrodeposited Ni-Based Magnetic Mesoporous Films as Smart Surfaces for Atomic Layer Deposition: An "All-Chemical" Deposition Approach toward 3D Nanoengineered Composite Layers

description: Mesoporous Ni and Cu–Ni (Cu20Ni80 and Cu45Ni55 in at. %) films, showing a three-dimensional (3D) porous structure and tunable magnetic properties, are prepared by electrodeposition from aqueous surfactant solutions using micelles of P-123 triblock copolymer as structure-directing entities. Pores between 5 and 30 nm and dissimilar space arrangements (continuous interconnected networks, circular pores, corrugated mesophases) are obtained depending on the synthetic conditions. X-ray diffraction studies reveal that the Cu–Ni films have crystallized in the face-centered cubic structure, are textured, and exhibit certain degree of phase separation, particularly those with a higher Cu content. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is used to conformally coat the mesopores of Cu20Ni80 film with amorphous Al2O3, rendering multiphase “nano-in-meso” metal-ceramic composites without compromising the ferromagnetic response of the metallic scaffold. From a technological viewpoint, these 3D nanoengineered composite films could be appealing for applications like magnetically actuated micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), voltage-driven magneto-electric devices, capacitors, or as protective coatings with superior strength and tribological performance.

description: We investigate the dynamical evolution of entanglement entropy in a holographic superconductor model by quenching the source term of the dual charged scalar operator. By access to the full background geometry, the holographic entanglement entropy is calculated for a strip geometry at the AdS boundary. It is found that the entanglement entropy exhibits a robust non-monotonic behaviour in time, independent of the strength of Gaussian quench and the size of the strip: it first displays a small dip, then grows linearly, and finally saturates. In particular, the linear growth velocity of the entanglement entropy has an upper bound for strip with large width; The equilibrium value of the non-local probe at late time shows a power law scaling behaviour with respect to the quench strength; Moreover, the entanglement entropy can uncover the dynamical transition at certain critical quench strength which happens to coincide with the one obtained form the dynamical evolution of scalar order parameter.

description: We examine the bright radio synchrotron counterparts of low-luminosity gamma-ray bursts (llGRBs) and relativistic supernovae (SNe) and find that they can be powered by spherical hypernova (HN) explosions. Our results imply that radio-bright HNe are driven by relativistic jets that are choked deep inside the progenitor stars or quasi-spherical magnetized winds from fast-rotating magnetars. We also consider the optical synchrotron counterparts of radio-bright HNe and show that they can be observed as precursors several days before the SN peak with an r-band absolute magnitude of M_r ~ -14 mag. While previous studies suggested that additional trans-relativistic components are required to power the bright radio emission, we find that they overestimated the energy budget of the trans-relativistic component by overlooking some factors related to the minimum energy of non-thermal electrons. If an additional trans-relativistic component exists, then a much brighter optical precursor with M_r ~ -20 mag can be expected. Thus, the scenarios of radio-bright HNe can be distinguished by using optical precursors, which can be detectable from < 100 Mpc by current SN surveys like the Kiso SN Survey, Palomar Transient Factory, and Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System.

description: Halide double perovskites have gained significant attention, owing to their composition of low-toxicity elements, stability in air and long charge-carrier lifetimes. However, most double perovskites, including Cs2AgBiBr6, have wide bandgaps, which limit photo conversion efficiencies. The bandgap can be reduced through hallowing with Sb3+, but Sb-rich alloys are difficult to synthesise due to the high formation energy of Cs2AgSbBr6, which itself has a wide bandgap. We develop a solution-based route to synthesis phase-pure Cs2Ag(SbxBi1-x)Br6 thin films, with the mixing parameter x continuous varying over the entire composition range. We reveal that the mixed alloys (x between 0.5 and 0.9) demonstrate smaller bandgaps (as low as 2.08 eV) than the pure Sb- (2.18 eV) and Bi-based (2.25 eV) compounds, with strong deviation from Vegard's law. Through in-depth computations, we propose that bandgap lowering arises from the Type II band alignment between Cs2AgBiBr6 and Cs2AgSbBr6. The energy mismatch between the Bi and Sb s and p atomic orbitals, coupled with their non-linear mixing, results in the alloys adopting a smaller bandgap than the pure compounds. Our work demonstrates an approach to achieve bandgap reduction and highlights that bandgap bowing may be found in other double perovskite alloys by pairing together materials forming a Type II band alignment.

description: Soft lags from the emission of the lower kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) of neutron star low mass X-ray binaries have been reported from 4U1608-522 and 4U1636-536. Those lags hold prospects for constraining the origin of the QPO emission. In this paper, we investigate the spectral-timing properties of both the lower and upper kHz QPOs from the neutron star binary 4U1728-34, using the entire Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer archive on this source. We show that the lag-energy spectra of the two QPOs are systematically different: while the lower kHz QPO shows soft lags, the upper kHz QPO shows either a flat lag-energy spectrum or hard variations lagging softer variations. This suggests two different QPO-generation mechanisms. We also performed the first spectral deconvolution of the covariance spectra of both kHz QPOs. The QPO spectra are consistent with Comptonized blackbody emission, similar to the one found in the time-averaged spectrum, but with a higher seed-photon temperature, suggesting that a more compact inner region of the Comptonization layer (boundary/spreading layer, corona) is responsible for the QPO emission. Considering our results together with other recent findings, this leads us to the hypothesis that the lower kHz QPO signal is generated by coherent oscillations of the compact boundary layer region itself. The upper kHz QPO signal may then be linked to less-coherent accretion-rate variations produced in the inner accretion disk, being detected when they reach the boundary layer.

description: We present data continuous series of microwave observations of the middle atmosphere in December 2017 and 2018. Measurements were carried out with the help of mobile ozonemeter (observation frequency 110836.04 MHz), which was established at Polar Geophysical Institute in Apatity (67N, 33E). The parameters of the device allow to measure a spectrum of the ozone emission line for time about 15 min a precision of 2%.On the measured spectra were appreciated of ozone vertical profiles in the layer of 22 60 km which were compared to satellite data MLS/Aura and with the data of ozonesonde at station Sodankyla(67N, 27E). The microwave data on the behavior of mesospheric ozone (altitude 60 km) indicate the presence of both photochemical and dynamic components in its changes.

description: К настоящему времени наблюдения за мягким фоновым гамма-излучением (20-400 кэВ) в приземном слое атмосферы проводятся на нескольких станциях, которые можно разделить по месту расположения. Полярные равнинные станции Баренцбург, Апатиты, Тикси расположены за полярным кругом. Станции Якутск и Ростов находятся в равнинной местности в средних широтах. До последнего времени только одна станция (Саяны, Хулугай, 3000м) являлась высокогорной. В конце 2018 появилась вторая высокогорная станция Нейтрино (1700м, Кавказ). На всех указанных станциях измерения выполняются на однотипных детекторах, изготовленных в лаборатории космических лучей ПГИ. На станциях в течение всего года наблюдаются возрастания гамма-фона при осадках. Представлен анализ полученных на новой станции данных.

description: An approach to compute exchange parameters of the Heisenberg model in plane-wave-based methods is presented. This calculation scheme is based on the Green's function method and Wannier function projection technique. It was implemented in the framework of the pseudopotential method and tested on such materials as NiO, FeO, Li2MnO3, and KCuF3. The obtained exchange constants are in a good agreement with both the total energy calculations and experimental estimations for NiO and KCuF3. In the case of FeO our calculations explain the pressure dependence of the Néel temperature. Li2MnO3 turns out to be a Slater insulator with antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor exchange defined by the spin splitting. The proposed approach provides a unique way to analyze magnetic interactions, since it allows one to calculate orbital contributions to the total exchange coupling and study the mechanism of the exchange coupling.

description: С помощью квадрокоптера проведены измерения вертикального распределения температуры воздуха ночью вблизи г. Апатиты (Мурманская область). Город расположен на холме, приподнятом на 50-70 м над окружающей равниной. Когда в городе теплее, чем в находящихся ниже пригородах, температура в нем остается ниже температуры воздуха на соответствующем уровне в атмосфере над равниной, окружающей город. Такое соотношение характернодля фоновых холмов и свидетельствует о слабом тепловом воздействии города на слой воздуха на склоне (слабом городском острове тепла).

description: Objectives Our objective was to use deep learning models to identify underlying brain regions associated with depression symptom phenotypes in late-life depression (LLD). Participants Diagnosed with LLD (N = 116) and enrolled in a prospective treatment study.DesignCross-sectional.MeasurementsStructural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) was used to predict five depression symptom phenotypes from the Hamilton and MADRS depression scales previously derived from factor analysis: (1) Anhedonia, (2) Suicidality, (3) Appetite, (4) Sleep Disturbance, and (5) Anxiety. Our deep learning model was deployed to predict each factor score via learning deep feature representations from 3D sMRI patches in 34 a priori regions-of-interests (ROIs). ROI-level prediction accuracy was used to identify the most discriminative brain regions associated with prediction of factor scores representing each of the five symptom phenotypes. Results Factor-level results found significant predictive models for Anxiety and Suicidality factors. ROI-level results suggest the most LLD-associated discriminative regions in predicting all five symptom factors were located in the anterior cingulate and orbital frontal cortex. Conclusions We validated the effectiveness of using deep learning approaches on sMRI for predicting depression symptom phenotypes in LLD. We were able to identify deep embedded local morphological differences in symptom phenotypes in the brains of those with LLD, which is promising for symptom-targeted treatment of LLD. Future research with machine learning models integrating multimodal imaging and clinical data can provide additional discriminative information.
title: The effect of endogenous and exogenous carbohydrate availability on exercise-induced skeletal muscle signalling
Creators: name: Hearris, M
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2021

description: Whilst pre-exercise muscle glycogen concentrations appear to regulate mitochondrial-related cell signalling responses to exercise, the absolute concentrations of muscle glycogen required to potentiate such responses are currently unknown. With this in mind, chapter 4 and 5 of this thesis were designed to systematically titrate muscle glycogen concentrations and determine subsequent mitochondrial-related signalling responses to endurance exercise in an attempt to elucidate the potential existence of a glycogen threshold and provide a better definition of its upper and lower limits. Collectively, using a sleep-low, train-low model, these studies demonstrate that reducing pre-exercise muscle glycogen prior to high-intensity endurance exercise does not confer any benefit to mitochondrial-related signalling and, in some cases, may impair exercise capacity. Nonetheless, these data raise the possibility that obtaining low post-exercise glycogen concentrations (regardless of pre-exercise status) may also be an important factor in regulating mitochondrial-related signalling. Accordingly, given the potential for exogenous CHO to modulate post-exercise muscle glycogen concentrations, chapter 6 examined the effects of exogenous carbohydrate (CHO) feeding during exercise on mitochondrial-related signalling. However, exogenous CHO feeding did not alter muscle glycogen utilisation during exercise and resulted in comparable increases in post-exercise mitochondrial-related signalling. In conclusion, this thesis provides novel data demonstrating that reducing pre-exercise muscle glycogen and/or exogenous CHO restriction during exercise does not confer any additional benefit to exercise-induced mitochondrial related signalling. Practically, these data suggest that the additional stress of CHO restriction may not be required within skeletal muscle that is already subjected to a sufficient metabolic challenge and may be better suited during conditions that do not elicit such cellular perturbations (e.g. prolonged low-intensity exercise completed below lactate threshold).

description: Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the measures taken to minimise its spread have significantly impacted mother- and infant-related healthcare. We describe the changes in newborn feeding, lactation support, and growth outcomes before compared to during the COVID-19 pandemic among moderately low birthweight infants (LBW) (1.5 to <2.5kg) in Malawi. Methods: The data presented here are part of the Low Birthweight Infant Feeding Exploration (LIFE) study, a formative, multisite, mixed methods observational cohort study. In this analysis, we included infants born at two public hospitals in Lilongwe, Malawi between 18 October 2019 and 29 July 2020. We categorised births as "pre-COVID-19 period" (before 1 April 2020) and "during COVID-19 period" (on or after 2 April 2020) and used descriptive statistics and mixed effects models to examine differences in birth complications, lactation support, feeding, and growth outcomes between the two time periods. Results: We included 300 infants and their mothers (n = 273) in the analysis. Most infants (n = 240) were born during the pre-COVID-19 period; 60 were born during the pandemic period. The latter group had a lower prevalence of uncomplicated births (35.8%) compared to pre-pandemic period group (16.7%) (P = 0.004). Fewer mothers reported early initiation of breastfeeding in the pandemic period (27.2%) compared to the pre-pandemic period (14.6%) (P = 0.053), along with significantly less breastfeeding support, particularly in view of discussion of proper latching (44.9% during COVID-19 vs 72.7% pre-COVID-19; P < 0.001) and physical support with positioning (14.3% vs 45.5% pre-COVID-19 P < 0.001). At 10 weeks of age, the prevalence of stunting was 51.0% pre-COVID-19 vs 45.1% during COVID-19 (P = 0.46), the prevalence of underweight was 22.5% pre-COVID-19 vs 30.4% during COVID-19 (P = 0.27), and the prevalence of wasting was 0% pre-COVID-19 vs 2.5% during COVID-19 (P = 0.27). Conclusions: Our findings highlight the continued need to optimise early initiation of breastfeeding and lactation support for infants during COVID-19 and future pandemics. More studies are needed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of moderately LBW born during the COVID-19 pandemic (including growth outcomes) and determine the impact of restrictive measures on access to lactation support and promotion of early initiation of breastfeeding.
