RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of utilization of milk surrogates as well as their protein contents and composition MATERIAL AND METHODS: Interview data on lactation patterns previously recorded (1986-1994) in Hermosillo, Mexico, were reviewed. Both human and surrogate milk fluids were tested; total protein contents were quantified by microKjeldhal and protein composition was determined by electrophoresis computer densitometry. RESULTS: Eleven milk formulas and three whole cow milks were used more frequently for infants aged 0-6 months. Total protein contents of modified and follow-up formulas were the same as reported on the label, in compliance with sanitary regulation. Casein content of human milk was 40%, and modified formulas contained 44%; follow-up formulas and whole milks were 60% and special formulas contained more than 70%. CONCLUSIONS: Products used for lactation seem to be inadequate for infant nutrition. In addition, the protein composition of some products was quite different that of human milk, and they are not proscribed from official regulation.

This study describes the feeding pattern, morbidity and the growth of an infant group from birth to six months old. A sample of 14 primiparous mother-infant dyads were selected in three public hospitals of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. The design included the "study case" technique. The planned feeding pattern at 24 hours post-delivery was different from the one practiced at home. Frequency of mixed-feeding was higher in the first three months. Half of the participants weaned gradually before the recommended period, with high consumption of industrialized cereals and pap of natural fruits at the beginning. Incidence and prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders and respiratory illness were high since the first 15 days of life. The weight/length, weight/age and length/age values were within the 50th percentile of the NCHS standard (1977). In spite of the difference in the feeding and morbidity patterns among the infants, their growth patterns were considered normal.

We studied the infant feeding practices of 61 healthy women who delivered vaginally and without complications in two public hospitals in the city of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. During the hospital stay, 51% of the women were planning full breastfeeding (full-BF), 43% partial breastfeeding (partial-BF) and 6% exclusive formula feeding (FF). At 2 weeks and 4 months post-partum (pp) the predominant feeding modes were partial-BF (59%) and FF (61%) respectively. The parameters that were positively associated with any breastfeeding at 4 months pp were: social support, previous breastfeeding experience and neonatal feeding mode. The infant feeding policies in both hospitals were not conducive for breastfeeding. The majority of infants were already receiving solid foods and juices by 3 months pp.

Se comprueba la acción anestésica local de la difenhidramina, cloraminopiridina, propranolol y sulfato de magnesio. Se comprueba que la acción anestésica local de la difenhidramina es similar, en potencia, a la de la lidocaína. Mediante un ensayo clínico riguroso se demuestra que la difenhidramina puede emplearse con éxito en sustitución de los anestésicos locales empleados habitualmente en estomatología, cirugía general, proctología, obstetricia, radiología, anestesiología y oftalmología. Se comprueba objetivamente que pacientes alérgicos a la procaína y lidocaína pueden someterse sin peligro a procedimientos quirúrgicos a diagnósticos comunes, utilizando a la difenhidramina como anestésico local (AU)
