Ultrasound imaging of milk ejection in the breast of lactating womenDonna T Ramsay
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Biomedical and Chemical Sciences, Faculty of Life and Physical Sciences, University of Western Australia, Crawley WA 6009, Australia
Pediatrics 113:361-7. 2004..We hypothesized that milk ejection would cause an increase in milk-duct diameter that could be observed noninvasively with ultrasound, and this could be used to investigate the physiology of milk ejection in women...
Anatomy of the lactating human breast redefined with ultrasound imagingD T Ramsay
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia
J Anat 206:525-34. 2005..This study highlights inconsistencies in anatomical literature that impact on breast physiology, breastfeeding management and ultrasound assessment...- Milk removal from the breastDonna T Ramsay

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Biomedical and Chemical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, Australia
Breastfeed Med 1:14-23. 2006..This direct relationship between increases in duct diameter and acute increases in milk flow rates suggests that changes in flow rates can be used to identify milk ejection in the absence of ultrasound data... - Tongue movement and intra-oral vacuum of term infants during breastfeeding and feeding from an experimental teat that released milk under vacuum onlyDonna T Geddes
School of Biomedical, Biomolecular and Chemical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, M310, 35 Stirling Hwy, Crawley, Western Australia 6009, Australia
Early Hum Dev 88:443-9. 2012..Recent literature supports the theory that vacuum is integral to the removal of milk from the breast rather than peristaltic compression of the breast... - Importance of vacuum for breastmilk expressionJacqueline C Kent
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Biomedical, Biomolecular and Chemical Sciences, Faculty of Life and Physical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, Western Australia, Australia

School of Biomedical, Biomolecular, and Chemical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia
Breastfeed Med 6:183-90. 2011..This study aimed to investigate the consistency of milk ejections and milk expression characteristics within mothers at repeated expression sessions... - Tongue movement and intra-oral vacuum in breastfeeding infantsDonna T Geddes
The University of Western Australia, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Biomedical, Biomolecular and Chemical Sciences, Faculty of Life and Physical Sciences, Australia
Early Hum Dev 84:471-7. 2008..The aim of this study was to use ultrasound to observe movements of the tongue during breastfeeding and relate these movements to both milk flow and simultaneous measurements of intra-oral vacuum... - Blood flow characteristics of the human lactating breastDonna T Geddes
Faculty of Life and Physical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, Perth 6009, Australia
J Hum Lact 28:145-52. 2012..The aim of this study was to measure the MBF in the internal mammary artery (IMA) and lateral thoracic artery (LTA) of lactating women and determine if these were related to milk production... - Oxygen Saturation and Suck-Swallow-Breathe Coordination of Term Infants during Breastfeeding and Feeding from a Teat Releasing Milk Only with VacuumVanessa S Sakalidis
School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, The University of Western Australia, M310, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia
Int J Pediatr 2012:130769. 2012..These patterns did not differ between the breast and the teat. Conclusion. These results suggest that vacuum may be conducive to safe and coordinated milk removal by the infant during both breast and bottle-feeding... 
Effect of warm breastshields on breast milk pumpingJacqueline C Kent
Biomedical, Biomolecular and Chemical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA 6009 Australia
J Hum Lact 27:331-8. 2011..The data confirmed that use of the mother's maximum comfortable vacuum was more efficient than a vacuum of -125 mm Hg. Using a warm breastshield with an electric breast pump was comfortable and improved the efficiency of milk removal...- Validation of nipple diameter and tongue movement measurements with B-mode ultrasound during breastfeedingHolly L McClellan
School of Biomedical, Biomolecular and Chemical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA, Australia
Ultrasound Med Biol 36:1797-807. 2010..This method provides objective measurements representative of tongue movement, and further investigation is required to ensure usefulness when examining sucking difficulties... - Frenulotomy for breastfeeding infants with ankyloglossia: effect on milk removal and sucking mechanism as imaged by ultrasoundDonna T Geddes
