Background: Breastfeeding is vital for the health and well-being of both mothers and infants, and it is crucial to create supportive environments that promote and maintain breastfeeding practices.
Objective: The objective of this paper was to describe the development of a breastfeeding-friendly app called "bfGPS" (HKU TALIC), which provides comprehensive territory-wide information on breastfeeding facilities in Hong Kong, with the goal of fostering a breastfeeding-friendly community.
Methods: The development of bfGPS can be categorized into three phases, which are (1) planning, prototype development, and preimplementation evaluation; (2) implementation and updates; and (3) usability evaluation.
Epidemiology has associated fine particulate matter (PM) exposure with an increased cardiovascular risk. However, the underlying mechanism, particularly from the liver perspective, remains unclear. Here, the influence of chronic PM exposure on cardiovascular risk in mice fed a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet (HFCD) was studied by using a real-world PM exposure system.

- - Atrioventricular block is a common issue in adults with congenital heart disease, making pacemaker implantation difficult, thus highlighting the importance of atrioventricular synchronous pacing for improved blood flow.
- - A 25-year-old male with a history of complex heart surgeries experienced heart block and had a malfunctioning pacemaker before receiving a dual-chamber leadless pacemaker, which successfully restored his heart's rhythmic function.
- - This case represents a valuable addition to the management options for patients with complex congenital heart diseases, showcasing the effectiveness of leadless pacemakers in ensuring atrioventricular synchrony.
Objective: To compare the performance of cytology, HPV16/18 genotyping and PAX1/SOX1 methylation for the triage of high-risk HPV-positive cervical samples.
Design: Retrospective analyses of archival samples collected from a large-scale prospective randomised controlled trial.
Setting/sample: HPV-positive women recruited from the general cervical screening population.
