Media can be a powerful communication tool to promote breastfeeding programs, influence mother's breastfeeding behaviour, and generate support among stakeholders for breastfeeding. Yet, there is little information on how media coverage influences a country's breastfeeding enabling environment. This study addressed this gap by conducting a retrospective content analysis of documents published between January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018 to analyse the media coverage related to breastfeeding in Mexico. Content analysis was based on the breastfeeding gear model and a strategic planning technique to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for enabling the national breastfeeding environment. Media coverage of breastfeeding was more frequent in August (36% of all documents). The top three topics commonly covered by the media were advocacy events promoting breastfeeding, promotion campaigns, and changes in breastfeeding legislation and policy. In general, the media coverage focused on strengths of specific breastfeeding policies. There was limited news coverage of key factors that negatively influenced or threatened the breastfeeding environment. Findings support the need to design strategies to engage the media covering in more depth and breadth diverse aspects of breastfeeding protection, promotion, and support efforts in Mexico. 相似文献
Introduction: Currently, hot melt extrusion (HME) is a promising technology in the pharmaceutical industry, as evidenced by its application to manufacture various FDA-approved commercial products in the market. HME is extensively researched for enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of poor water-soluble drugs, taste masking, and modifying release in drug delivery systems. Additionally, its other novel opportunities or pharmaceutical applications, and capability for continuous manufacturing are being investigated. This efficient, industrially scalable, solvent-free, continuous process can be easily automated and coupled with other novel platforms for continuous manufacturing of pharmaceutical products.
Areas covered: This review focuses on updates on solubility enhancement of poorly water-soluble drugs and process analytical tools such as UV/visible spectrophotometry; near-infrared spectroscopy; Raman spectroscopy; and rheometry for continuous manufacturing, with a special emphasis on fused deposition modeling 3D printing.
Expert opinion: The strengths, weakness, opportunities, threats (SWOT) and availability of commercial products confirmed wide HME applicability in pharmaceutical research. Increased interest in continuous manufacturing processes makes HME a promising strategy for this application. However, there is a need for extensive research using process analytical tools to establish HME as a dependable continuous manufacturing process. 相似文献
