Prolonged breast feeding, diarrhoeal disease, and survival of children in Guinea-Bissau

Abstract: ment would need to be examined. It is important that women without cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and perhaps those with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade I, are not overtreated; a randomised trial is needed to address this issue.In conclusion, this study shows that cytological surveillance is not an efficient strategy for managing women with mildly abnormal smears and that women with any grade of dyskaryosis should be referred for colposcopy.

This could be related to maternal depletion syndrome and resource competition between siblings, in addition to a lack of care and attention experienced by first-born infants (25)(26)(27)(28) .…”
