The indication for femoral stem cementation should be made on a patient-specific basis, taking physical activity, femoral geometry, and bone tissue quality into account. Age alone should not be the sole justification for cementation. The Dorr classification can serve as decision support for whether a cemented fixation should be used.

- 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.
Objective: To evaluate the association between different types of human milk feeds and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants.
Methods: Data on dispensed mother's own milk (MOM) and donor human milk (DHM) from Leipzig Milk Bank for hospitalized infants with a gestational age (GA) ≤32 weeks observed from birth to 36 weeks' postmenstrual age or prior discharge were used. BPD was assessed based on documented International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) diagnosis and on electronic hospital records (EHR) of data on ventilation and oxygen supplementation.
