The very fact that having an article about breastfeeding in The Biochemist seems peculiar may, in fact, demonstrate why it is important that we think and talk about the topic. In this feature, I want to discuss why people choose to breastfeed their children, how this is possible when returning to work as a bench scientist, and the steps we can all take supporting people in making that choice, as part of an inclusive working environment. Hopefully, there’s a bit of science in there too.

This research is to find out the correlations between mother’s level of knowledge, mother’s motivation and the exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers in PT. Globalindo Intimates Klaten. This research was a quantitative one with a descriptive analytic design. A total sampling method was used to collect the data from as many as 37 working mothers having six-month-old to two-year-old babies. The data were collected in May 2015. The result is indicate that there was a positive correlation between mother’s knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding and the practice of exclusive breastfeeding. The Fisher’s Exact Test with the confidence level of 95% and α 0.05 data analysis indicate that the p-value is 0.022. The result also indicate that indicate that there was a positive correlation between mother’s motivation and exclusive breastfeeding with p-value of 0.003. Conclussion, there was a positive correlation between mother’s knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding and mother’s motivation with practice of exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers in PT.

Abstract Together with protective measures, routine screening for SARS-CoV-2 infection help provide a safe working environment. We evaluated a pooled nucleic acid testing strategy in a research laboratory. It allowed to maintain its activity and would save 25,920 person-hours and $1,684,800/year by increasing the margin of safety for returning to work.

Background: Interarm systolic blood pressure difference more than 10 mm of Hg is predictor of cardiovascular and metabolic risk. Despite of sufficient physical activity there is high prevalence of obesity in police personal because of stressful working environment. No studies have addressed the significance of interarm pressure difference among them. Therefore, the present study conducted to access the relation of interarm blood pressure difference with obesity in police personnel. Aims and Objective: To estimate the interarm pressure difference in police personal to see its association with their obesity. Material and Method: This cross-sectional observational study done on 245 police workers in PAC, Sitapur, India. Subjects having more than ten years of working experience were included in study. Anthropometric measurements of subject recorded by following standard protocol. Measurement of systolic pressure in both arm recorded simultaneously by mercury sphygmomanometer. Available data analyze and expressed in percentage, mean with SD and chi square test to see the significance of association. Results: According to anthropometric results of subjects 77.14 prcent subjects were having generalised obesity and 82.04 percent of subjects having abdominal obesity. 34.29 percent of subjects showed abnormally high (?10 mmHg) inter-arm systolic blood pressure difference. Both type of obesity showed positive association with blood sugar level but no association with interarm pressure difference. Conclusion: Interarm blood pressure difference is greater in individual having obesity or prolong duration of service. Such subjects are more susceptible to develop coronary artery disease or peripheral arterial disease in future. Early screening can help to detect the vascular events likely to occur in the future Keywords: Body mass index, Waist circumference, Interarm pressure difference, Random blood sugar
