The use of ultrasound to characterize milk ejection in women using an electric breast pumpDonna T Ramsay
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Biomedical and Chemical Sciences, University of Western Australia, Crawley, Australia
J Hum Lact 21:421-8. 2005..In conclusion, milk ejection characteristics and efficiency of milk expression did not change in response to different expression patterns...- Variation in fat, lactose and protein in human milk over 24 h and throughout the first year of lactationLeon R Mitoulas
Department of Biochemistry, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, Australia
Br J Nutr 88:29-37. 2002.... - Infant intake of fatty acids from human milk over the first year of lactationLeon R Mitoulas
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Biomedical and Chemical Sciences, Faculty of Life and Physical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley WA 6009, Australia
Br J Nutr 90:979-86. 2003..093 (SD 0.031) and 0.049 (SD 0.021) g respectively. These results suggest that variation in proportions of fatty acids may not translate to variation in the amount delivered and that milk production and fat content need to be considered... - Milk flow rates can be used to identify and investigate milk ejection in women expressing breast milk using an electric breast pumpDonna 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... 
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
Breastfeed Med 3:11-9. 2008..To determine the effect of the strength of applied vacuum on the flow rate and yield of breastmilk using an electric breast pump...- Volume and frequency of breastfeedings and fat content of breast milk throughout the dayJacqueline C Kent
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Life and Physical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, Western Australia, Australia
Pediatrics 117:e387-95. 2006..We aimed to provide information that can be used as a guide to clinicians when advising breastfeeding mothers on normal lactation with regard to the frequency and volume of breastfeedings and the fat content of breast milk... - 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... - Effect of vacuum profile on breast milk expression using an electric breast pumpLeon R Mitoulas
Faculty of Life and Physical Sciences, University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, Western Australia 6009, Australia
J Hum Lact 18:353-60. 2002..Breastfeeding characteristics did not differ between poor and successful expressers. These results show that breast milk expression by an electric breast pump can be influenced by the vacuum pattern... - The effects of fish oil supplementation in pregnancy on breast milk fatty acid composition over the course of lactation: a randomized controlled trialJanet A Dunstan
School of Paediatrics and Child Health, The University of Western Australia, Crawley WA 6009
Pediatr Res 62:689-94. 2007..Thus, supplementation in pregnancy was associated with increased n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) in breast milk, particularly in early lactation, and this was positively associated with infant DHA status at 1 y... - Why calcium in breastmilk is independent of maternal dietary calcium and vitamin DJacqueline C Kent
School of Biomedical, Biomolecular and Chemical Sciences, Faculty of Life and Physical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA, Australia
Breastfeed Rev 17:5-11. 2009..Understanding these interactions clarifies why the concentration of calcium in breastmilk is not affected by manipulations of maternal dietary calcium and vitamin D... - Identification of nestin-positive putative mammary stem cells in human breastmilkMark D Cregan
School of Biomedical, Biomolecular and Chemical Sciences, Faculty of Life and Physical Sciences, M310, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia
Cell Tissue Res 329:129-36. 2007.... - Milk prolactin, feed volume and duration between feeds in women breastfeeding their full-term infants over a 24 h periodMark D Cregan
Department of Biochemistry, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, Western Australia, 6009, Australia
Exp Physiol 87:207-14. 2002..This is consistent with the observation that prolactin uptake from the blood by the lactocyte is dependent on the fullness of the breast, such that prolactin uptake may be inhibited in full alveoli... - Excretion of lactose in urine as a measure of increased permeability of the lactating breast during inflammationCatherine M Fetherston
Attadale Private Hospital, 21 Hislop Road, Attadale 6156, Western Australia, Australia
Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 85:20-5. 2006.... 
Pseudoephedrine: effects on milk production in women and estimation of infant exposure via breastmilkKhalidah Aljazaf
Department of Medical Imaging, Curtin University of Technology, Bentley, Western Australia
