Departments of1Maxillofacial Surgery and Plastic Surgery.
Article Synopsis
- FFMBA is a surgical method used for treating syndromic craniosynostoses, which involves facial advancement and can stress the optic nerve, possibly causing temporary vision loss during recovery.
- The study included 26 patients with Crouzon syndrome, analyzing pre- and postoperative CT scans to assess changes in the optic nerve's shape and size after the procedure.
- Findings indicated that the optic nerve elongates but its cross-section decreases during FFMBA, and two patients who experienced visual impairment had significant reductions in nerve area correlated with higher distraction amplitude, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of vision during recovery.

Introduction: Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is a common and serious co-morbidity in haemodialysis (HD) patients. Its importance as a prognostic factor has been increasingly recognised during the past decades. Much effort has been invested in the improvement of nutritional status and amelioration of consequences through different therapeutic approaches, either intradialytic parenteral nutrition or more commonly oral nutritional supplementation.

When making choices in healthcare, in addition to quality, affordability and accessibility, sustainability (climate and environmental impact) must also be taken into account. Dutch healthcare is responsible for 7% of the entire CO2 footprint, 4% of all waste and 13% of raw material consumption. In addition to the fact that making buildings and processes in healthcare more sustainable is desperately needed, we advocate that we also look at the care provided.

Article Synopsis
- Conflicting narratives exist regarding whether IVF add-ons are driven more by patient demand or clinician recommendation.
- An online survey of 261 IVF patients in the UK showed that 67% had used add-ons, with 81% of these being suggested by clinicians rather than patients.
- The study highlighted differences between private and NHS patients in terms of being offered, requesting, and using IVF add-ons, while also noting limitations such as sample size and potential recall bias in self-reported data.
