The use of Thai herbal galactogogue, 'Plook-Fire-Thatu', for postpartum heat re-balancing.

Plook-Fire-Thatu is a traditional Thai medication designed to assist breastfeeding moms. However, no documented clinical research on its efficacy exists. Therefore, the authors recruited women who had a singleton baby vaginally between June 2019 and July 2020 and randomly allocated them to one of three groups: Plook-Fire-Thatu, Domperidone, or Placebo. The test-weight method was used to compare breastmilk amounts. During the hospital stay, all volunteers and newborns were followed for adverse effects. There were three groups of participants: Plook-Fire-Thatu 78, Domperidone 74, and Placebo 76. On the third postpartum day, the Plook-Fire-Thatu group exhibited a statistically significant increase in breastmilk quantity (F=15.11, p≤0.01). The mean body temperature of postpartum women in the Plook-Fire-Thatu group on the third day was significantly higher than in the placebo group. (F=4.22, p=0.016). Participants and infants in the intervention groups experienced a few adverse effects. In comparison to domperidone, Plook-Fire-Thatu has been discovered to be a natural way to increase postpartum breastmilk supply.

Unplanned out-of-hospital birth apparatus benefits: A paramedic simulation trial.

Unplanned births outside of hospitals have becoming an issue in cities. The majority of healthcare professionals are paramedics. When performed alone, this event frequently causes them strain and anxiety. Their primary worries were the safety of mothers and newborns, as well as insufficient obstetrical equipment. As a result, our team developed a portable birth bed equipped with newborn safety devices for this research. One hundred fourteen paramedics of local area participated in this study and were divided into intervention and conventional group. In simulation trials, the study found that this safety intervention outperformed the conventional setup. We determined that our technology aided in the delivery of unusual babies. However, it requires additional research in the actual situation.

A comparison of birth-fall protective apparatus with conventional setting on nursing students' self-efficacy and skill in simulated vaginal parturition: A randomized trial.

Undergraduate nursing students must study and train on simulation before patient practices because of patient safety policy. Their most concerns were the inadvertent mistakes, particularly in obstetrical training, which had limited room for supervisors to assist them in any phase. As a result, their self-efficacy was one of the important factors that contributed to their learning success. This research was a randomized trial design in 120 nursing students who volunteered to improve their self-efficacy in vaginal birth training by applying birth-fall protective apparatus to conventional simulation settings. When compared to another intervention station, the educational self-efficacy score at the intervention station was statistically significantly higher. (t = 7.33, p<.01) Furthermore, this station's clinical performance ratings were higher than the conventional station's. (t = 4.69, p<.01) Most students were pleased with this safety apparatus and required to use it in their practices.

Interventions to prevent musculoskeletal disorders among informal sector workers: a literature review.

Despite the increasing incidence of musculoskeletal injuries among informal sector workers due to exposure to workplace risk factors, there is a dearth of literature examining the effectiveness of interventions to prevent musculoskeletal disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of interventions to prevent musculoskeletal health problems and/or reduce risk factors among informal sector workers. A systematic review of the literature was conducted using an appraisal checklist developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The heterogeneity of the studies precluded a meta-analysis, so a narrative synthesis method was used. Eight intervention studies met the inclusion criteria. This review identified three types of interventions: 1) mechanical exposure interventions, 2) production systems/organizational culture interventions and 3) modifier intervention. These interventions provided high and moderate evidence to support the use of these strategies for prevention of musculoskeletal injuries or workplace risk. The effects, whether positive, negative or none, was influenced by sample size, sampling technique, comparison group and time examined.
