... immature population approximately 30% show oro-motor dysfunction or avoidant behavior at 3 months. An individualized approach according to the infant’s neurological ability and nutritional status seems to be the best practice when introducing complementary feeding in preterm infants especially...

... Abstract Behavioral change is one of the proposed interventions to address concerns regarding dental caries and erosive tooth wear. The impact of these interventions, however, is difficult to measure, and they are rarely considered in clinical studies. This chapter briefly discusses behavior...

... Abstract Skin cancer rates have been on the rise for decades and are still growing in spite of the availability of high-performance sunscreens that provide sufficient protection against the damaging effect of UV radiation everywhere on this globe. This paper investigates behaviors and attitudes...

..., and the farmer. Sorghum and millet were selected as the first Smart Foods and a participatory fun-filled approach was adopted to create awareness, to develop culturally acceptable products, and to bring about behavior change to improve adoption, dietary diversity, and nutritional status. Smart Food piloted...

... Abstract In neurology and neuropsychology, behavior refers to the way human beings act and make decisions in contact with their environment. Behavioral impairment is therefore defined as a pathology, following brain lesion, that impacts the interactions between the brain-lesioned individual...

... that remote home management may be a novel and effective disease management strategy for improving CKD patients’ quality of life and influencing their attitudes and behaviors [ 5 ]. Only in the last 20 years, the concept of TM and RM have begun to interest the nephrologists and the field of dialysis. Nakamoto...

... Abstract The first 1,000 days of life constitute an important period for the development of health and eating behavior. While the feeding mode drastically evolves, the child learns “how”, “what,” and “how much” food to eat. When orally exposed, infants discover food properties, with a variety...

... Abstract Child eating behaviors contribute to individual variability in weight status and are influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Feeding practices have been identified as a potentially modifiable factor that can influence children's dietary intake and eating...

.... Furthermore, many areas for future research were identified during the workshop to develop appropriate tools to define and qualify target feeding practices and eating behavior, and to better understand the circumstances under which feeding practices may successfully result in healthy eating habits...

... Abstract Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a brain disorder, characterized by the dream enactment during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep due to a lack of physiologic muscle atonia and increased muscle twitching. Schenk was the first to describe this disorder in 1986; however...

... of couvade behaviors, some of them having religious inclinations. Currently, there are several views on this phenomenon including medical, psychoanalytic, and psychological. Some explain this syndrome as part of men's preparation and participation in pregnancy and post-partum period. Others see it as men...

... for targeting the proper therapeutic strategy. In the acute setting with a behavioral emergency the primary task for the clinician is to act as soon as possible in order to stop the violence from escalating and to find the quickest way to keep the patient's agitation and violence under control with the maximum...

... Abstract In the last 5 years, interest in the interactions among the gut microbiome, brain, and behavior has exploded. Preclinical evidence supports a role of the gut microbiome in behavioral responses associated with pain, emotion, social interactions, and food intake. Limited, but growing...

... to investigate the behavior of primary cilia and tricellular tight junction proteins during the differentiation of sensory hair cells. In undifferentiated cells (incubated at 33°C), many acetylated tubulin-positive primary cilia were observed, and each was accompanied with an γ-tubulin-positive basal body...

... is the behavioral susceptibility theory (BST) [ 3 ]. BST proposes that genetic risk operates through appetitive traits (responsiveness to external food cues and internal satiety cues) that confer susceptibility to the environment. As the environment becomes more ‘permissive' so genetic expression increases...

... the workshop. Firstly, the need for a holistic approach to CF was emphasized given the complex interplay between nutrition, feeding behavior and psychological factors; a ‘one-size-fits-all' approach to CF is not feasible or sensible given variation between infants, their environments and cultural factors...

... Abstract Suicidal behavior is multidimensional. As well as medical, psychological, psychosocial, social, cultural, and socioeconomic parameters, it also includes biological, especially genetic, risk factors. The heritability is about 55% assuming a polygenic risk model. First linkage...

... Abstract Over the last 15 years, an increasing number of studies have been conducted to investigate the neural basis of suicidal behavior in vivo , using neuroimaging. In this chapter, we will review the literature on the topic before proposing an updated version of our neurocognitive model...
