Best postpartum breastfeeding practices must address the caloric needs of all infants, including vulnerable infants, while enabling long-term, exclusive breastfeeding. An adequate subsequent milk supply depends on early, frequent and effective colostrum removal. A combination of hand expression of colostrum, spoon-feeding and unrestricted breastfeeding provide more milk for infants and more stimulation for subsequent breast milk production. A sustainable, preventive practice model for low- and high-risk infants depends on elevating staff expertise and shifting the focus of lactation educators to address staff learning needs. We propose a five-step implementation program to achieve this.

The degree of sulfonation (DS) is a key property of sulfonated polymers, as it significantly influences their swelling behaviour, conductivity and mechanical properties. Accurately determining the DS is essential for optimizing these materials for various applications. In this work, the DS of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) was evaluated using a combination of analytical techniques, including titration, back titration, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Ultra-Violet (UV) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR) spectroscopies, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis.

Gaucher disease (GD) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder resulting from a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase caused by biallelic variants in the gene. Patients may present with a wide spectrum of disease manifestations, including hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, bone manifestations, and in the case of GD types 2 and 3, neurodegeneration, cognitive delay, and/or oculomotor abnormalities. While there is no treatment for neuronopathic GD, non-neuronopathic manifestations can be efficiently managed with enzyme replacement therapy or substrate reduction therapy.

Background: The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine is key to improving patients' quality of life. Driven by chronic diseases and an aging population, there is a need to enhance the efficiency and resource allocation of outpatient facilities. This study aims to analyze the treatment preferences of outpatient rehabilitation patients by using data and a grading tool to establish predictive models.

Following the establishment of Nepal's first medical college in 1972, forensic medicine was introduced in 1978. To date, 25 medical colleges in the country have included forensic medicine as a compulsory subject in the undergraduate medical curriculum. Although this subject has been introduced into the medical curriculum, the outcome is unsatisfactory, as reflected by the poor medico-legal reports prepared by newly graduated medical students.
