The Effect of C-Section Birth on Attention Task Performance and Cortical Grey Matter Integrity
Past evidence suggests that Caesarean section (C-section) birth is a factor in reduced performance on visual attention tasks, as well as altered intrinsic functional neural networks, for both infants and adults born via C-section. The present study tested C-section and vaginally born adults on six …

MODE OF BIRTH AND VAGINAL MICROBIOTA IN REPRODUCTIVE-AGE WOMEN
… health. We recruited 88 adult women to a cross-sectional study to evaluate the relationship between their vaginal microbiota and the mode of their birth (self-reported as vaginal delivery or Cesarean section (C-section)). In a multivariable analysis, women who had a less protective, …

Examination of the Relationship Between Caesarean Section Births and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
… associations between this disorder and Caesarean section births (Amiri et al., 2012; Juarez et al., 2008). The current study examined the relationship between C-section birth and self-reported symptoms of ADHD by college students on the Internal Restlessness Scale (Weyandt et al., 2003). Results …

A Double-blinded Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effect of Distant Reiki on Pain after Non-emergency Caesarean Section and the Effect of CYP2D6 Variation on Codeine Analgesia
… medication is commonly used for pain after c-section. In most people, 10% of codeine is biotransformed into morphine by the Cytochrome P450 enzyme 2D6 (CYP2D6). Individuals who convert up to 50 fold more codeine into morphine, ultrarapid metaboizers, are at a greater risk for adverse effects. …

Establishment and development of infant gut microbiota
… development of the microbiota profile of C-section delivered infants, and this development is significantly influenced by breastfeeding duration. Preterm infants, born by either mode of birth, initially have a high proportion of Proteobacteria, and demonstrate significant development of the …

Women, Medicine, and Power: The Social Transformation of Childbirth in Taiwan
Thus, I regard reducing the c-section rate as the primary agenda of childbirth reform in Taiwan. I advocate the extended use of midwives as the best strategy to reduce medically unnecessary c-sections. I also suggest the establishment of birthing centers to extend birthing women's options. Finally, …

Integrated Smartphone-Based Computer Vision and Machine Learning Platform for Identification of Surgical Site Infections
… developing countries who give birth by Cesarean section (C-section). In order to help monitor and detect SSI in women who recently underwent C-section births, this thesis presents the design and development of an integrated smartphone application that can be used by community health workers (CHW) …

Test score impacts of Cesarean sections
… medical community on the benefits and risks of C-sections and at what rate they should occur, a potentially crucial question remains unanswered - what are the long-term developmental impacts of birth method on children of low-risk births? In particular, how do C-sections influence measures such as …

Essays on the Economics of Insurance and Healthcare Markets
… the probability that a physician performs a C-section on patients insured by that payer and by other payers. I use a difference-in-differences strategy that takes advantage of variation in contract change dates across the three largest private payers in Massachusetts. The results show that …

Development of performance sections for cold-formed steel residential construction
… steel framing is hindered by the lack of generic sections. This study puts forth an effort to develop a performance section designation code without specifying the geometry of the sections. A PC-based program to analyze C-section was developed and used to produce typical Performance Section Tables …

Phylogenetic and functional characterization of human microbiome intra-species diversity and tracking of early-life transmission
… microbiome. While mode of delivery (vaginal or C-section) had a great impact on the amount of mother strains transmitted to the infant, place of delivery (home or hospital) and breastfeeding duration also had an impact on the ongoing development, strain replacement or persistence over the first …

Investigating Murine Uterine Tissue Dynamics: Biomechanical and Histological Perspectives on Postpartum Involution and Scar-Induced Remodeling
… where vaginal birth is not feasible, a Cesarean section (c-section), which involves a transverse abdominal incision, is used to facilitate delivery of the fetus and placenta<sup>1</sup>. Following the procedure, the uterus and abdominal tissue are carefully sutured to support postpartum recovery, …

Unravelling the impact of early-life nutrition on microbiota-gut-brain axis signalling
… diet (HFD) during pregnancy and lactation, 2. C-section and 3. Early-life antibiotic administration on offspring brain and immune system development, and behaviour. Using a model of maternal HFD we disrupted the maternal microbiota, which led to increased potent neurotoxic metabolites in maternal …

Analysis and design of composite curved frames
… rapid analysis and design of composite curved C-section frames subjected to axial tensile loading are developed. Failure is predicted using polynomial in-plane and interlaminar failure criteria. Interlaminar stresses can be directly computed only from three-dimensional finite element models, but …

Resistance Factor for Cold-Formed Steel Compression Members
… of 675 concentrically loaded plain and lipped C-section columns, plain and lipped Z-section columns, hat and angle columns, including members with holes, are considered in the study. The predicted strengths are calculated with the AISI-S100-07 Main Specification and the AISI Direct Strength …

Three essays on the effects of health policy on health care financing, demand, and provision
… suggests the ideal rate for cesarean sections (C-section) to be between 10% and 15%, the C-section rate in the United States has been over 30% since 2005. There is no evidence showing the benefits of unnecessary C-sections. However, C-sections are costly in time, medical care …

The use of generalized beam theory, finite elements and experimental testing to investigate the stability of light gauge steel sections subject to axial load
… behaviour of unbranched open cold-formed steel sections. First the advantages and disadvantages of cold-formed steel when compared to hot-rolled steel are demonstrated. Thin-wall steel members have lower stiffness which may lead to increased instability and buckling issues for this kind of …

Experiments on Cold-Formed Steel Beams with Holes
… elastic buckling studies were performed on 68 C-section cold-formed steel joists with unstiffened rectangular web holes. Four Steel Stud Manufacturers Association (SSMA) cross-section types; 800S200-33, 800S200-43, 1000S162-54, and 1200S162-97, were evaluated to explore the influence of holes on …
