Article Synopsis
- A survey at a major German-speaking symposium on human milk banks revealed that 96% of participants, primarily nurses and physicians, want more digitalization in their operations.
- Current digital processes, like donor clinical results and milk labeling, are in place, but there's a gap between potential digital advancements and actual implementation.
- Key benefits of digitalization include improved efficiency, but challenges like financial constraints, staff shortages, and security concerns (like cyberattacks) are major barriers, yet participants remain hopeful for future developments.
Loud noise exposure is one of the leading causes of permanent hearing loss. Individuals with noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) suffer from speech comprehension deficits and experience impairments to cognitive functions such as attention and decision-making. Here, we tested whether a specific sensory deficit, NIHL, can directly impair auditory cognitive function.

However, in recent years, enzymatic debridement has increasingly been reported as a good alternative, especially for burns of the hand, as it selectively preserves viable tissue. In this study, we aim to evaluate the long-term function of the hand after enzymatic debridement in deep dermal burns.

Consequently, Cplx deletion impairs action potential-evoked transmitter release. Conversely, though, Cplx loss enhances spontaneous and delayed asynchronous release at certain synapse types.
