They offer access to expertise and shared experience in a format mothers find convenient and timely, improving confidence and self-efficacy. Local BSF groups enable the formation of support networks and development of breastfeeding knowledge that mothers credit with increased well-being, motivation and breastfeeding duration. As such, they have the potential to add value to local face-to-face services and improve breastfeeding experiences and knowledge in communities. The findings have important implications to support the development of integrated online interventions to improve public health.This is a comprehensive and rigorous review of currently available data on the use of mesh in the pelvis in colorectal surgery. This guideline outlines the limitations of available data and the challenges of interpretation, followed by best possible recommendations.
MR elastography can determine organ-related stiffness, which reflects the degree of fibrosis. Liver stiffness increases in cirrhosis, and stiffness increases further post-prandially due to increased portal blood in-flow. Non-selective beta-blockers (NSBB) reduce the portal venous inflow, but their effect on liver and spleen stiffness are disputed.

To assess whether MR elastography of the liver or spleen reflects the severity of cirrhosis, whether treatment with NSBB changes liver and spleen stiffness and whether changes in stiffness can predict the effect of NSBB on portal pressure.

Fifty-two patients with cirrhosis underwent liver vein catheterization and two-dimensional (2D) MR elastography on separate days. Thirty-six of the patients had a hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) of ≥12mmHg and were tested prior to, and after, intravenous infusion of NSBB using HVPG measurement and MR elastography.

HVPG showed a strong, positive, linear relationship with liver stiffness (r
=0.92; P<.001) and spleen stiffness (r
=0.94; P<.001). The cut-off points for identifying patients with a HVPG≥12mmHg were 7.7kPa for liver stiffness (sensitivity 0.78, specificity 0.64) and 10.5kPa for spleen stiffness (sensitivity 0.8, specificity 0.79). Intravenous administration of NSBB significantly decreased spleen stiffness by 6.9% (CI 3.5-10.4, P<.001), but NSBB had no consistent effect on liver stiffness. However, changes in spleen stiffness were not related to the HVPG response (P=.75).

Two-dimensional MR elastographic estimation of liver or spleen stiffness reflects the degree of portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis, but changes in stiffness after NSBB do not predict the effect on HVPG.

Breastfeeding outcomes have yet to be explored among women who give birth to macrosomic (birthweight ≥4000 g) infants, a cohort for whom the benefits of breastfeeding may be particularly valuable, offering protection against later-life morbidity associated with macrosomia. This longitudinal prospective cohort study aimed to identify whether women who give birth to macrosomic infants are at greater risk of breastfeeding non-initiation or exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) cessation. A total of 328 women in their third trimester were recruited from hospital and community settings and followed to 4 months post-partum. Women gave birth to 104 macrosomic and 224 non-macrosomic ( less then 4000 g) infants between 2018 and 2020. Longitudinal logistic regression models calculated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess likelihood of EBF at four timepoints post-partum (birth, 2 weeks, 8 weeks, and 4 months) between women who gave birth to macrosomic and non-macrosomic infants, adjusted for maternal risk (obesity and/or diabetes), ethnicity and mode of birth. Macrosomic infants were more likely to be exclusively breastfed at birth and 2 weeks post-partum than non-macrosomic infants with adjusted OR = 1.94 (95% CI 0.90, 4.18; p = 0.089) and 2.13 (95% CI 1.11, 4.06; p = 0.022), respectively. There were no statistically significant associations between macrosomia and EBF at 8 weeks or 4 months post-partum. Macrosomia may act as a protective factor against early formula-milk supplementation, increasing the likelihood of EBF in the early post-partum period, but rates of exclusive breastfeeding continued to decline over the first 4 months post-partum.
To evaluate the effect of charcoal-based dentifrices on the color change (CC) and surface wear (SW) of resin composites.

Five dentifrices, including three toothpastes Colgate total-12 (C12), Black is the new White (CPX), and Natural (NAT); and two powders Carvvo (CVV) and Whitemax (WMX), were evaluated. Composite blocks (5x5x2mm- Z350 3M/ESPE, shade A2) were subjected to 417 and 5004 brushing cycles. The CC (n=7, CIEDE2000; ΔE
) was evaluated using a spectrophotometer. SW (n=5) was assessed using profilometry. The dentifrice particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

In 417 brushing cycles, resin composite exhibited higher color change upon being exposed to NAT, CVV and WMC than to C12 (p≤ 0.05). Cilengitide In 5004 brushing cycles, resin composite showed higher color change values when exposed to all dentifrices, except C12 (p≤ 0.05). The powders promoted higher SW on resin composite than C12 in both evaluation times (p≤ 0.05). In 417 cycles, WMX caused higher SW on composite than C12, CPX, and NAT (p≤ 0.05). No significant different SW was found between powders and charcoal-based toothpastes after 5004 brushing cycles (p > 0.05). SEM showed larger particles for powder than for toothpaste dentifrices.

Within the limitations of this study, both null hypotheses have been rejected. Resin composites exposed to charcoal-based dentifrices exhibited significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher color change and surface wear than conventional toothpastes.

Color change and surface wear shown by charcoal dentifrices may compromise the longevity of restorations.
