Purpose: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare cerebrovascular disorder characterized by the narrowing of arteries at the brain's base. While cerebral angiography is the gold standard for diagnosis, high-resolution vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (VW-MRI) has recently emerged as a non-invasive diagnostic tool. This systematic review aims to provide insights into the role of VW-MRI in enhancing the diagnosis and management of MMD.

Background: Breast milk has significant benefits for preterm babies, but 'very preterm' babies are unable to feed directly from the breast at birth. Their mothers have to initiate and sustain lactation through expressing milk for tube feeding until their babies are developmentally ready to feed orally. There are wide disparities between neonatal units in England in rates of breast milk feeding at discharge.

Background: Mammographic breast density has been suggested to play a role as a mediator between the risk factors for breast cancer (BC) and BC risk. We investigated the extent to which never breastfeeding is a risk factor for BC and how this risk is further mediated by increased mammographic breast density.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 4 136 723 women aged ≥40 years who underwent mammographic screening between 2009 and 2010 and were followed up until 31 December 2020.
