Early discharge 72 hours after delivery remains the mother choice, although the final decision is taken by the midwife as well as the paediatrician of the unit, and never before the third day. A follow-up at home is systematically proposed during at least two days. Specially trained midwives of the maternity are in charge of this follow up. A one year evaluation of this practice shows that early discharge, after good clinical evaluation, with regular follow up as long as necessary, is not responsible for infants rehospitalisations as a result of undiagnosed pathology or maternal incompetence.

This study aimed to explore the diagnostic value of the two cytology techniques, including liquid-based cytology of mammary ductal lavage fluid and nipple discharge smear cytology, in the intraductal lesions in patients with pathological nipple discharge (PND). This retrospective analysis included 119 patients with PND who underwent surgical treatment. At the same time, they all underwent fiberoptic ductoscopy (FDS), nipple discharge smear cytology and liquid-based cytology of ductal lavage fluid before surgery.

: Despite recent decades' rapid advances in the management of patients with sepsis and septic shock, global sepsis mortality and post-acute sepsis morbidity rates remain high. Our aim was, therefore, to provide a first overview of sepsis care pathways as well as barriers and supportive conditions for optimal pre-clinical, clinical, and post-acute sepsis care in Germany. : Between May and September 2023, we conducted semi-structured, video-based, one-to-one pilot expert interviews with healthcare professionals representing pre-hospital, clinical, and post-acute care settings.
