Background: Preterm infants (PIs) are more susceptible to neurodevelopmental impairment compared with term newborns. Adequate postnatal growth has been associated with improved neurocognitive outcomes; therefore, optimization of nutrition may positively impact the neurodevelopment of PIs.
Objective: This study focused on macronutrient parenteral nutrition (PN) intake during the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit stay and their associations with neurodevelopmental outcomes in PIs in the first two years of life.
Introduction: Achieving excellent cosmetic monsplasty results consistently can be difficult. Undertreatment or overtreatment of the fatty ptotic mons pubis will yield suboptimal results. A stepwise tactical approach to the monsplasty eliminates these problems and produces excellent aesthetic results.

- The study investigated how different light conditions (using diffuse vs. clear plastic covers) and nitrogen levels affect the yield and quality of cherry tomatoes grown in greenhouses.
- The results showed that a diffuse light film (Film1) generally led to higher yields compared to a clear film (Film2), particularly at reduced nitrogen doses, and the application of biostimulants enhanced fruit quality and yield.
- Overall, the combination of optimal light and biostimulants can significantly improve tomato production, suggesting a potential strategy for maximizing greenhouse yields.
The use of two nozzle diameters (6 and 8 mm) in a cold (50°C) hemp seed oil extraction process was evaluated in terms of extraction efficiency, and chemical composition and fermentation characteristics of the residual cake. Seeds of the varieties Futura 75 and Uso 31 were pressed using a mechanical press with a cooling device. Five pressings were carried out for each variety and nozzle size, the functional parameters of the extraction processes were recorded, and sample of the residual cakes ( = 20) were analyzed.

- The study aimed to assess the completion rate of the London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy (LMUP) during antenatal visits in Sydney, focusing on socio-demographics linked to unplanned pregnancies.
- Out of 4,993 women, only 47.8% completed the LMUP, with 70.6% indicating their pregnancies were planned, though many (59.1%) hadn't taken health actions before pregnancy.
- Planned pregnancies were more prevalent in older women, while those with more prior births were more likely to experience unplanned pregnancies.
