The
Breastfeeding and Human Lactation Study Center
The Study Center is a
program based in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of
Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Rochester, New York, dedicated
to the retrieving and organizing world literature and scientific
information. The core of the Lactation Study Center program is a networked
computer system offering health care professionals free information on
issues critical to the success of lactation and breastfeeding.
The bibliography data
bank, which is constantly updated, provides immediate access to the latest
published references on the subject by searching for an articles
primary author, for any author, for a word or part of a word in the title,
or by using our keyword code (the keyword categorizes the papers by
subject areas).
The drug data bank is
updated monthly and includes all the available information about the drug
in question including, if known, its oral availability, whether it appears
in the milk, the half life in maternal plasma and milk, percent protein
bound in plasma, percent of adult dose in milk, the maximum amount in a
liter of milk as well as the ratio of the concentration in milk to the
concentration in the maternal plasma.
When you call the
Lactation Study Center (585-275-0088) with a question, staff search the
data bank and retrieve the information you need quickly. Many inquiries
can be answered immediately over the telephone. When that is not possible,
a reply will be sent by E-mail, return mail, or fax if the need is urgent.
