Objective: Examine the effect of a donor human milk (DHM) program on mothers' own milk feedings at discharge for very low birth weight (VLBW) infants.
Study Design: A single center retrospective analysis of feeding outcomes in preterm infants. Data were assigned as: (1) pre DHM era (2) Bridge DHM era (3) Full DHM era. Each era was divided into infants <1500 g (n = 724) or ≥1500 g (n = 784).
Results: Both the percentage of mothers' own milk feeds and percent of infants exclusively receiving mothers' own milk at discharge were increased in the <1500 g (p = 0.003, p = 0.002) and the ≥1500 g group (p = 0.007, p = 0.004) respectively, following the introduction of DHM for VLBW infants.
Conclusion: Practice changes that accompany a donor milk program likely play a prominent role in the provision of mothers' own milk and exclusivity of breast milk feedings at discharge for very low birth weight infants.

Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen treatment for necrotising soft-tissue infections: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Surgical intervention, broad-spectrum antibiotics and intensive care support are the standard of care in the treatment of necrotising soft-tissue infections (NSTI). Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) may be a useful adjunctive treatment and has been used for almost 60 years, but its efficacy remains unknown and has not been systematically appraised. The aim was to systematically review and synthesise the highest level of clinical evidence available to support or refute the use of HBOT in the treatment of NSTI.

Introduction: The presence of a persistent (patent) foramen ovale (PFO) increases the risk of decompression sickness (DCS) whilst diving with pressurised air. After the diagnosis of a PFO, divers will be offered a number of options for risk mitigation. The aim of this study was to review the management choices and modifications to diving practices following PFO diagnosis in the era preceding the 2015 joint position statement (JPS) on PFO and diving.

As clinicians, we understand the development of atherosclerosis as a consequence of cholesterol deposition and inflammation in the arterial wall, both being triggered by traditional risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidaemia or diabetes mellitus. Another risk factor is genetic predisposition, as indicated by the predictive value of a positive family history. However, we had to wait until recently to appreciate the abundant contribution of genetic variation to the manifestation of atherosclerosis.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses cases of neurosyphilis presenting as basal meningitis that led to transient cranial nerve palsies, a phenomenon known before antibiotics were used.* -
- The objective was to highlight two patients who experienced acute unilateral peripheral vestibulopathy due to syphilitic basal meningitis, one during the secondary phase of infection and the other during the late latent phase.* -
- Both cases were initially misdiagnosed; facial palsy and hearing loss were noted in one, while the second case was investigated for lymphoma before identifying the syphilitic infection, indicating that timely diagnosis can be challenging.*
