Pregnancy is a state of high nutritional demand. The diet taken by the pregnant women is utilised in three ways as said by the classics - For the nourishment of pregnant women, for the production of breast milk and the proper nourishment of the foetus. So, the health and growth of the foetus depend mainly on the diet and nutrition of the mother. With this viewpoint, garbhini paricharya is explained. A condition in our classics has been explained as ‘Garbha Shosha’ where there is retarded growth of the foetus in the womb. ‘Aaharamaapnothi yathaa na garbhaha’ is said as the nidana of garbha shosha by Acharya Charaka which states that this condition arises where the foetus is not provided with a nutritious diet through the mother. Acharya Vagbhata points out that vitiation of ‘Rasavaha Srotas’ happens in the same. Acharya Bhavamishra advised brimhana drugs with mamsarasa in this condition for nutrition. Strict adherence to masanumasika pathya may help in preventing garbha shosha by promoting the growth of the foetus. Keywords: Garbha shosha, Diet, Nutrition, Brimhana, Masanumasika pathya

Background and Aims: Women who develop GDM (gestational diabetes mellitus) have a relative insulin secretion deficiency, the severity of which may be predictive for later development of diabetes. This study aimed to investigate the role of fasting plasma glucagon in the prediction of later development of diabetes in pregnant women with GDM. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 150 pregnant women with GDM after giving informed oral and written consents and being approved by the research ethical committee according to the declaration of Helsinki. The study was conducted in two phases, first phase during pregnancy and the second one was 6 months post-partum, as we measured fasting plasma glucagon before and after delivery together with fasting and 2 hour post-prandial plasma sugar. Results: Our findings suggested that glucagon levels significantly increased after delivery in the majority 14/25 (56%) of GDM women who developed type 2 DM within 6 months after delivery compared to 6/20 (30%) patients with impaired fasting plasma glucose (IFG) and only 22/105 (20%) non DM women, as the median glucagon levels were 80,76, 55, respectively. Also, there was a high statistical difference between fasting plasma glucagon post-delivery among diabetic and non-diabetic women (p ≤ 0.001). These results indicated the useful role of assessing fasting plasma glucagon before and after delivery in patients with GDM to predict the possibility of type 2 DM. Conclusion: There is a relatively high glucagon level in GDM patients, which is a significant pathogenic factor in the incidence of subsequent diabetes in women with a history of GDM. This could be important in the design of follow-up programs for women with previous GDM.

Results: Narrations and Quran verses on greatness and respect of a mother show the importance of the maternal role. The maternal role is a fabulous facet of perfection of a woman and Islam has considered spiritual rewards for it. In the Quran, many biological changes such as pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and taking care of a child and spiritual characteristics of mothers as the instinct seeking a child or generosity towards child have been mentioned. Islamic rules have a duty to extend this culture and aid mothers to achieve this right. Nobody can deprive a woman of it. Conclusion: In view of jurisprudent rules in Islam, if there is no limitation or natural barrier for a woman to have a child but her husband’s illogical unwillingness for having a child; this is, according to article 1130 of civil law, a kind of distress and embarrassment and the woman has the right to divorce.

Maternal breastfeeding is associated with multiple health benefits, both for the child and the mother. Since breastfeeding rates are declining, finding new, future-oriented strategies to strengthen and support mothers’ positive attitudes towards breastfeeding need to be developed. In this paper, we describe how information about the presence of stem cells in breast milk can influence the willingness to breastfeed in the population of Polish pregnant women. A cross-sectional study involving a group of 150 pregnant women was conducted to assess the correlation between their knowledge about stem cells and their attitude towards breastfeeding. Among the respondents, only 6% claimed that they did not know anything about stem cells, but general knowledge about stem cells in the research group was poor. The survey results indicated that city residence, university degree, maternal experience and advanced pregnancy correlated with higher general knowledge regarding stem cells. Most respondents (77.3%) had no knowledge regarding the presence of stem cells in breast milk. Approximately two-thirds of mothers with earlier negative breastfeeding experience declared that information about the presence of stem cells in breast milk could have influenced the decision to continue and extend the time of breastfeeding. Hence highlighting the presence of stem cells in breast milk can be used to encourage breastfeeding as a unique activity.

To the Editor.— We found "The Role of Parental Information in the Incidence of Circumcision" (Pediatrics 1982;70:597-598) to be most interesting. At Malcolm Grow USAF Medical Center, Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, we performed a similar study. Pregnant women, followed by the obstetrical service, were given appointments to attend, with their husbands, a four-hour general counseling session during their eighth month of pregnancy. During the session, circumcision was discussed in such depth that it constituted informed consent. Women who did not attend the session received no structured informed consent.
