This Series paper supports SDG 3 by examining how political power and policies create or mitigate structural barriers to improve infant and young child feeding practices; the authors examine the root causes of low worldwide breastfeeding rates and why so many countries have not prioritised and implemented policies to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding.

This Series paper supports SDG 3 by examining how the marketing of commercial milk formula (CMF) comprehensively undermines access to objective information and support related to feeding of infants and young children, and contributes to reduced global breastfeeding practices by influencing normative beliefs, values, and political and business approaches to establish environments that favour CMF uptake and sales.

This Series paper supports SDG 3 by providing a new vision on how to address breastfeeding protection, promotion, and support at scale through multilevel, equitable approaches, and by examining how individual-level parent and baby attributes interact with breastfeeding determinants at other levels of the socioecological model, how these interactions drive outcomes, and what policies and interventions are necessary to achieve optimal breastfeeding.

The effects of forest harvesting are very evident aboveground, with clear contrasts between areas that are clearcut and those that are managed with some degree of retention of old trees. The implications for the belowground portions of forest ecosystems are difficult to see, but fundamental to the future development of the recovering forest.

According to the CDC 11% of adults have subjective cognative decline. Given the high coverage of ART in Australia, researchers assessed if there was a link between ART and cognative decline. With 1% of the study population reported to have sustained decline, the authors concluded that meaningful cognative decline was not significantly different compared with what would be expected. Although not a game changing new drug regimen, with the average life expectantcy of people with HIV now 83 year the lack of link between ART and cognative decline means that good health and wellbeing can be promoted into old age.

For monitoring viral load (VL) or Early Infant Diagnosis (EID) of HIV-1, real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) is used to perform on plasma or Dried Blood Spot (DBS) sample. The qPCR method is expensive and requires sophisticated equipment. Therefore, there is a requirement for newer and cheaper technology for VL measurement or EID.
