The effects of nonnutritive sucking on state regulation in preterm infants
Nonnutritive Sucking (NNS) has long been used to soothe crying infants. Systematic observations of this effect in newborn infants have revealed that NNS reduces arousal in general. Among preterm infants NNS has been used as an effective intervention in the newborn intensive care unit. However, …

The behavioral effects of nonnutritive sucking on infants of differential fetal growth
… behavioral organization. The newborn infant's sucking is one behavior that has been hypothesized to both reflect the effects of previous experiences on behavioral organization and affect the infant's future behavioral development. In particular, the infant's pattern of sucking activity may not …

Genetic Analysis of Tritrophic Interactions between Entompathogenic Nematodes, Symbiotic Bacteria and Blood – Sucking Flies.
Mosquitoes are responsible for millions of deaths a year through the viruses and parasites they vector. Many of these vector species have successfully expanded their range into temperate climates due to a combination of climate change and the easy movement of goods and people around the world. The …

Size Correlations between Sucking Lice and Their Hosts Including a Test of Harrison's Rule
… typically have larger parasites. In this study, sucking lice (Insecta: Anoplura) were used to test this rule. Sucking lice should provide a good test for this rule because they are generally host-specific and because, as a group, they parasitize hosts of different sizes. Also, sucking lice use …

Sucking patterns and breastfeeding behaviour in asphyxiated and matched control neonates : an exploratory study
This study focuses on sucking patterns in the neonatal period, and their association with various mother-infant behaviours observed during breastfeeding. It uses as its framework the model of an active infant, whose behavioural repertoire influences the perceptions and actions of her/his caregiver, …

The transmission of music into the human uterus and the response to music of the human fetus and neonate
… and a non-prescribed stimulus, on neonatal sucking of a non-nutritive nipple. A five-minute control period with no stimulation was compared with a ten-minute period during which two music stimuli were presented. By random allocation, either the prescribed music stimulus (PM) or the …

Biological control of Acacia cyclops in South Africa : the role of an introduced seed-feeding weevil, Melanterius servulus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), together with indigenous seed-sucking bugs and birds
… with the combined effects of indigenous seed-sucking bugs and birds. The weevils utilise filled green pods of A. cyclops for adult feeding, oviposition and larval development and completely destroy seeds during these activities. Examination of the reproductive phenology of A. cyclops showed …

Source characterization using linear transformations of multichannel biomagnetic recordings
… fetal behavioral patterns, such as fetal sucking and hiccup activity. The results of the present thesis demonstrate the potential of the linear transformations to generate data representations that enable straightforward and effective extraction and characterization of the biomagnetic …

Efficacité d'un traitement ostéopathique pour les problématiques biomécaniques de succion des nouveau-nés
… during the first month, due to biomechanical sucking difficulties, and this, despite increasing support from lactation consultants (LC). Osteopaths worldwide work with these babies, but there is little empirical evidence for this type of treatment. The primary objective of this study was to …

Host-parasite cophylogeny and rates of evolution in two rodent-louse assemblages
… lineages differ. The phylogenetic analysis of sucking lice (Fahrenholzia) resolves relationships among 11 of the 12 currently recognized species and identifies several possible cryptic species. Although there is conflict among the basal nodes of the host and parasite phylogenies, cophylogenetic …

Detection, Identification and Classification of Suck, Swallow and Breathing Activity In Premature Infants During Bottle-Feeding
… measurements of premature infants including sucking, swallowing and breathing were measured. The objective of this work was to detect, identify and classify these three signals independently and in relation to each other. The goal was to look at the specification of sucking, swallowing and …

Interventions used by health care professionals to transition preterm infants and neonates from enteral feeds to full-oral feeds: A Scoping review
… timing, cue-based and utensils. Non-nutritive sucking (NNS) interventions were reported most frequently across single and combined interventions. Outcome measures reported included: time taken to full oral feeds, earlier hospital discharge, long-term feeding outcomes, weight and sucking …

QUANTIFICATION OF PRETERM INFANT FEEDING COORDINATION: AN ALGORITHMIC APPROACH
… integration of three individual feeding events: sucking, breathing, and swallowing, and the objective of feeding coordination is to minimize aspiration. The purpose of this work was to quantify the infant feeding process from signals obtained during bottle feeding and ultimately develop a measure …

An Evaluation of the Efficacy of Selected Nonpharmacologic Pain Interventions in Infants
… nonpharmacologic pain management interventions, sucking and sucrose, and their ability to potentiate each other. This study is based on the Gate Control Theory of pain which posits that benign stimuli, such as sucking, send messages to the central nervous system that compete with painful stimuli …

Choice in Human Breastfeeding Infants
… an infant distributes its time and its rate of sucking in relation to milk intake while breastfeeding and to what extent the matching law describes human breastfeeding behavior. A descriptive procedure was used in which breastfeeding mothers, with their infants, video recorded all nursing …

Physiological and Morphological Responses to Drought Stress in Different Cultivation Environments in Wild Type and ABA-deficient Barley
… stress in spring barley and herbivory by the sap-sucking aphid herbivore Rhopalosiphum padi and the chewing mollusc herbivore Cornu aspersum. I particularly focus on the role of abscisic acid (ABA), a key phytohormone in plant-stress responses, in coordinating plant responses to these stresses in …

Flea and Louse Infestations of Cotton Rats (Sigmodon Hispidus) In The Southeastern United States
… Prevalence and mean intensity of parasitism by sucking lice (Anoplura) and fleas (Siphonaptera) of cotton rats were recorded at all sites. The geographical distribution of S. hispidus and its main louse and flea ectoparasites range from the neotropical region to the southeastern USA. It was …
