The offshore oilfields in the North Sea area are increasingly employed for projects beyond oil production, like carbon capture and storage (CCS). Still, the fossil fuel production from mature fields is significant. It has raised environmental concerns associated with discharging produced waters (PW) and drilling mud into the sea.

- Maternal stress during the postpartum period affects the nutrient composition and microbiome of human milk (HM), potentially impacting early development and mental health outcomes for infants.
- A study involving high-stress (HS) and control groups analyzed HM microbiome changes, revealing distinct differences in bacterial composition, particularly showing HS mothers had altered levels of certain bacteria like reduced Streptococcus and increased Staphylococcus.
- The findings indicate a strong correlation between maternal stress and changes in the HM microbiome, suggesting these alterations could influence infant gut colonization and overall health, necessitating further research on their implications.
Background Context: Defining success in spine surgery lacks a standardized approach, and all existing concepts are based on registrations after surgery.
Purpose: To examine patients' expectations before spine surgery assessed by a modified Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The authors asked: how do the expectations align with actual outcomes and can a patient's individual expectations be used as a success criterion in itself?
Study Design /setting: Prospective single-center study.
Diarrhea claims >500,000 lives annually among children under five years of age in low- and middle-income countries. Mortality due to acute diarrhea (<7 days' duration) is decreasing, but prolonged (7-13 days) and persistent (≥14 days of duration) diarrhea remains a massive challenge. Here, we use a case-control study to decipher if fecal gut microbiota compositional differences between Ethiopian children with acute (n=554) or prolonged/persistent (n=95) diarrhea and frequency-matched non-diarrheal controls (n=663) are linked to diarrheal etiology.

Methods: We assessed the claims reported to the Norwegian System of Patient Injury Compensation (NPE) following surgery for hallux valgus in light of hospital volume. Data from NPE was categorized according to age, sex, reason for claim, and reason for accepted/rejected claim.
