Breastfeeding Outcomes After Radiofrequency Ablation and Surgical Excision of Fibroadenomas Compared to Natural History: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND: Fibroadenomas, common benign breast tumors in women of reproductive age, are increasingly managed with minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or surgical excision. However, their impact on breastfeeding outcomes remains underexplored. We aimed to assess breastfeeding ability and breast tissue changes in women treated with RFA or surgery compared to those with untreated fibroadenomas. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, we evaluated 153 women with biopsy-confirmed fibroadenomas across five groups: RFA with prior breastfeeding (RFA-PreBF; n = 26), RFA with posttreatment breastfeeding (RFA-PostBF; n = 22), surgical excision with prior breastfeeding (Surgical-PreBF; n = 30), surgical excision with posttreatment breastfeeding (Surgical-PostBF; n = 20), and noninterventional with breastfeeding (Observation-BF; n = 55). Breastfeeding ability was assessed using a 5-point scale, and breast tissue changes were evaluated via ultrasound at 18 months, and all breastfeeding attempts occurred at a minimum of 12 months postprocedure. Fisher's exact test compared complete lactation failure rates, and a power analysis validated the study design (Fig. 1). FINDINGS: The combined RFA group (n = 48) had a higher complete lactation failure rate (14.6%) than the Observation-BF group (3.6%; Fisher's exact test, p = 0.045). Similarly, the combined surgical group (n = 50) had a higher complete lactation failure rate (16.0%) than the Observation-BF group (p = 0.034). When pooled, the combined intervention group (n = 98) showed a complete lactation failure rate of 15.3% versus 3.6% in the Observation-BF group. Residual tissue correlated with lactation impairment in the RFA group (Spearman's &#x3c1;, p < 0.05). Ultrasound showed no tumor recurrence, with cystic changes in some cases not linked to breastfeeding impairment. Power analysis confirmed 80% power to detect a medium effect size (f = 0.25, Fig. 1), supporting the study's robustness.7 RFA-PreBF (n = 26), RFA-PostBF (n = 22), Surgical-PreBF (n = 30), Surgical-PostBF (n = 20), and Observation-BF (n = 55). Breastfeeding ability was assessed using a 5-point scale, and breast tissue changes were evaluated via ultrasound at 18 months. Fisher's exact test compared complete lactation failure rates, and a power analysis validated the study design (Fig. 1).[Figure: see text]Interpretation:RFA and surgical excision are effective for fibroadenoma management but increase the risk of complete lactation failure compared to untreated fibroadenomas. Careful patient selection, precise procedural techniques, and vigilant posttreatment monitoring are essential to optimize breastfeeding outcomes, particularly for women planning future pregnancies.

Impact of kangaroo care on circadian rhythm, growth, physiological stability in premature infants, and cortisol and melatonin levels in maternal breast milk: A randomized controlled trial.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine the effects of regular kangaroo care (KC) on sleep-wake cycles, growth, physiological stability, and maternal breast milk cortisol and melatonin levels in premature infants. DESIGN: This study was a parallel group, single-blind, pre-test-post-test, randomised controlled trial (RCT). METHODS: This randomized controlled study was conducted in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in T&#xfc;rkiye between September 2024 and September 2025 Thirty-six premature infants were randomized to intervention (n = 28) or control (n = 28). Infants in the intervention group received KC for three consecutive days, twice daily (10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.) for 60 min per session. Data were collected using the Infant Information Form, Physiological Parameters Monitoring Chart, and Premature Infant Sleep-Wake Cycles Tracking Chart. Sleep-wake cycles were monitored using a Bispectral Index device. Breast milk cortisol and melatonin levels were measured at baseline and on day three using the competitive ELISA method. The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06589349). RESULTS: Regular KC had a statistically significant effect on BIS values, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature (p < 0.05). No statistically significant effects were observed on infant body weight or on maternal breast milk cortisol and melatonin levels (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that regular KC is associated with improved regulation of the sleep-wake cycle and enhanced physiological stability in premature infants. No significant changes were observed in maternal breast milk cortisol or melatonin levels following KC.

Psychometric Evaluation of the Breast Inflammatory Symptom Severity Index Versions 2 and 3 Among Lactating Women.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the psychometric properties of Versions 2 and 3 of the Breast Inflammatory Symptom Severity Index (BISSI). DESIGN: Secondary data analysis of clinical trial data. SETTING: Private physiotherapy practices, a public tertiary hospital, and a community in Melbourne, Australia. PARTICIPANTS: Women more than 7 days after birth with inflammatory conditions of the lactating breast (N = 43). METHODS: We performed confirmatory factor analysis of the BISSI Version 2 to examine item loading, which informed development of the BISSI Version 3 (V3). We assessed convergent validity by comparing total BISSI V3 scores with human milk sodium to potassium ratio (Na+:K+) at Trial Days 1, 3, and 10 using Bland-Altman plots. We compared item-level scores for size of affected area with objective receiver operating characteristic curve analysis to assess discriminant validity for symptom severity and Cronbach's alpha for internal reliability. RESULTS: After confirmatory factor analysis, we removed two items, resulting in a six-item BISSI V3. All retained items demonstrated comparable loading on the overall scale. Limits of agreement for total BISSI V3 scores and item-level scores for size of affected area were acceptable at all time points, with more than 90% of observations falling within 2 standard deviations of the mean difference, supporting convergent validity. Discriminant validity of the BISSI V3 was supported. We found high internal reliability at both time points CONCLUSION: Our findings provide evidence for the validity and reliability of the BISSI V3 and support its continued development and for clinical use of the BISSI V3 and human milk Na+:K+ analysis to enhance management of inflammatory conditions of the lactating breast.

Donor Human Milk Utilization in a Level 1 Newborn Unit of a High-Volume Delivery Hospital: A Cautionary Tale.

INTRODUCTION: Donor human milk (DHM) is an alternative to formula for supplementation of breastfed newborns and has been associated with higher in-hospital exclusive breast milk feeding rates. Its use has increased substantially, most recently among term newborns, yet there is scarce data to describe patient characteristics and volumes administered. We aimed to characterize DHM utilization in our level 1 nursery. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study of newborns discharged in 2022 from the level 1 nursery. Variables included sex, gestational age, birth weight, delivery type, hypoglycemia diagnosis, DHM volume, and length of stay. DHM use was compared across preferred language, race, ethnicity, and payer type using chi-square testing. RESULTS: A total of 10,432 discharges were reviewed-those transferred to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or another unit were excluded. Of 9,074 newborns receiving level 1 care, 1,094 (12.1%) received DHM. Newborns born between 35 and 37 weeks gestation, delivered by cesarean section, or diagnosed with hypoglycemia or small for gestational age were more likely to receive DHM (p < 0.05). DHM was also more common among newborns whose birth parent preferred the English language, identified as White or non-Hispanic, or had non-Medicaid insurance (p < 0.05). 6,552.6 ounces were consumed, with a total median of 3.9 ounces per newborn (dose range 2-50 mL). CONCLUSIONS: DHM use in the level 1 nursery varied by clinical and sociodemographic factors, revealing inequities. In addition, some doses exceeded recommended supplemental volumes. Future efforts should focus on ensuring equitable access to DHM, standardized dosing and discontinuation guidelines, and evaluation of impacts on exclusive breastfeeding rates.

Engineered MXene-based nanozyme platform: NIR-II photothermal and dual enzyme-mimetic potentiated chemodynamic synergy for precision tumor eradication.

The antioxidant defense barrier in the tumor microenvironment, particularly glutathione (GSH), considerably restricts the therapeutic efficacy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Moreover, CDT generally exhibits relatively mild therapeutic efficacy owing to its intrinsic reaction kinetics, making it difficult to achieve complete tumor eradication within a short time. To address these issues, we construct a functionalized nanotherapeutic platform, Nb2CTx@Ru-PEG2000-FA (NCRPF), for tumor photothermal ablation and enhanced CDT resulting from GSH depletion. NCRPF possesses three key advantages: 1. Efficient near-infrared II photothermal conversion (&#x3b7;&#xa0;=&#xa0;42.08%), raising the tumor temperature above 45&#xa0;&#xb0;C within 90&#xa0;s for rapid ablation; 2. Dual peroxidase-like and glutathione peroxidase-like activities, simultaneously depleting GSH and generating a burst of &#xb7;OH to eliminate residual tumors; 3. Targeted tumor accumulation with 2.9-fold higher efficiency than passive diffusion. Both in vitro and in vivo results confirm that this combined strategy achieves complete tumor eradication with favorable biosafety. Collectively, the NCRPF nanotherapeutic system provides a powerful new paradigm with high translational potential for the complete eradication of breast cancer.

Long-Term Weight Trajectories in Infants Receiving Prolonged Breastfeeding: Impact of Formula Supplementation.

OBJECTIVE: This study compared weight trajectories in infants breastfed for at least 1 year, with or without formula supplementation. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective cohort of 252 infants followed in well-baby clinics. All infants were breastfed &#x2265;12 months and received complementary foods at 4-6 months. Of these, 174 received no formula, and 78 received daily formula supplementation. Anthropometric data were collected from birth to 5 years of age. RESULTS: Among males, those breastfed without formula had significantly lower body weight between 13 and 18 months compared with those receiving formula (10.20 kg vs. 10.97 kg, p < 0.001). From 19 months onward, no significant weight differences were observed and trajectories converged through 5 years. CONCLUSION: Prolonged breastfeeding in male infants is associated with lower weight in early toddlerhood; however, differences resolve by age two. These findings suggest early variations may represent physiological patterns. Further controlled studies are needed.

Chemical Complementarities of Neuroblastoma Tumor-Resident TCR CDR3s and CMV Antigens are Associated with a Better Outcome.

A likely immune response to a virus can be detected via the presence of TCR CDR3s that (a) exactly match CDR3s known to bind viral antigens or (b) represent chemical complementarity to viral antigens. Previous studies, based on genomics approaches to characterizing anti-CMV TCR CDR3s in patient blood samples, have indicated the possibility that a systemic CMV infection is associated with worse outcomes for NBL, as well as for breast cancer. Thus, the association of NBL tumor-resident anti-CMV TCR CDR3s and patient outcomes was evaluated here, with results indicating that high levels of chemical complementarity between tumor-resident TCR CDR3s and CMV antigens represented a better outcome. This is in apparent contrast to results obtained via the previous study of blood sourced, anti-CMV TCR CDR3s representing a worse outcome. This study identified gene expression values associated with the tumor-specific anti-CMV TCR CDR3s, representing exact matches to known anti-CMV TCR CDR3s, which may assist in identifying a potential underlying mechanism effecting the better outcomes associated with the tumor-resident, anti-CMV TCR CDR3s. Overall, results here raise the question of whether an anti-CMV response directly against the tumor, or within the tumor microenvironment, is involved in reductions in tumor progression or responsiveness to treatment?

Prevalence of Breastfeeding in Infants With Down Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

AIM: To estimate the prevalence of breastfeeding-overall, exclusive, partial and depending on infants' age-in infants with Down syndrome, and to investigate associated factors. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted in Medline, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL and SciELO up to 1 August 2024. Original articles that estimated the prevalence of breastfeeding in infants with Down syndrome, written in French, English or Spanish, were included. Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scale. Meta-analyses were performed for breastfeeding outcomes and meta-regression explored heterogeneity. The review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021278019). RESULTS: Twenty-six studies (3463 infants) were included. The estimated prevalence of overall breastfeeding regardless of duration was 71.6% (95% CI [60.3; 80.7]; 25 studies, 3351 infants) with high heterogeneity, I2&#x2009;=&#x2009;94%. The estimated prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was 38.4% (95% CI [22.4; 57.3]; 10 studies, 1099 infants). No factor assessed in meta-regression was significantly associated with overall breastfeeding. CONCLUSION: The estimated breastfeeding prevalence in infants with Down syndrome is similar to that reported in the general population, despite high heterogeneity. Further studies using standardised methodology to assess breastfeeding barriers and facilitators in the context of Down syndrome would allow us to improve support for breastfeeding.

The Meaning and Significance of Breastfeeding for Biological Mothers of Children with Cleft Lip and/or Palate.

INTRODUCTION: Given the functional, emotional, and symbolic challenges imposed by cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) on exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), mothers often experience early breastfeeding cessation with impacts on maternal identity and the mother-infant bond. This study aimed to explore the meanings, feelings, and experiences of mothers of children with CL/P regarding breastfeeding in the face of these adversities. METHODS: This qualitative study applied the Clinical-Qualitative Method as proposed by Turato. Six in-depth semistructured interviews were conducted with biological mothers of children with CL/P, recruited from a specialized craniofacial reference center in Brazil. Data were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis approach, grounded in psychodynamic concepts from the Medical Psychology theoretical framework. RESULTS: Based on the analysis of the collected material, three analytical categories were identified and constructed: (1) "Existential conflict regarding the inability to fulfill the ideal maternal role"; (2) "Duality between the need and the fear of caregiving"; and (3) "The anguish experienced between tangible and intangible support during breastfeeding."Conclusions:Although the inability to EBF in children with CL/P generates emotional distress, motherhood is reimagined through adaptive forms of care and bonding, highlighting gaps in institutional support and the need for more humanized, emotionally sensitive health practices.

Infant Dietary Patterns and Early Childhood Weight Outcomes: A Secondary Analysis from the Starting Early Program Trial.

BACKGROUND: The Starting Early Program (StEP) promotes healthy nutrition during early life and leads to healthier child weight, but whether dietary patterns contribute to weight or mediate StEP weight outcomes has not been studied. OBJECTIVES: This secondary analysis identified infant dietary patterns in StEP, determined associations between dietary patterns and child weight outcomes, and examined whether dietary patterns mediated the relationship between StEP and child weight. METHODS: Data were from 377 mother-infant dyads in a randomized trial testing the efficacy of StEP. Dietary patterns at 10 months were identified using latent class analysis. Child weights were abstracted from medical records at 12, 24, and 36 months. Associations between infant dietary patterns and weight-for-age z-score (WFAz) and likelihood of being classified as overweight (WFA &#x2265;85th percentile) were assessed using linear and logistic multivariable regression models. Mediation was used to assess intervention effects on WFAz via impacts on infant dietary patterns. RESULTS: Four classes of infant dietary patterns were identified: Breastfed-High variety, Formula fed-High variety, Formula fed-Low variety, and Mixed fed-Low variety. Compared to the Breastfed-High variety class, infants in the Formula fed-Low variety class had higher WFAz and were more likely to be classified as overweight at 24 and 36 months. Participation in StEP increased membership in Breastfed-High variety, which mediated the association between StEP and lower WFAz at 24 months. CONCLUSIONS: Infant dietary patterns were identified, and some were associated with child overweight. StEP was associated with a dietary pattern most consistent with guidelines, which mediated intervention effects on child weight.

Assessment of Genetic Correlations Between Tobacco or Alcohol Use and Neurodegenerative Diseases Using East Asian Genetic Ancestry Genome-Wide Association Study Results.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are the most prevalent late-onset neurodegenerative diseases worldwide. Both are influenced in part by genetic factors and are currently incurable. Tobacco and alcohol, the two most common substances used among the general adult population, are potential AD/PD risk factors and are also heritable. Although important progress has been made, most existing research on the genetics of AD and PD has been carried out in individuals of European genetic ancestry. Investigations in a broad range of groups are crucial to understand disease mechanisms. Given the current availability of ancestry-specific tobacco and alcohol use as well as AD and PD genome-wide association study summary statistics, we performed global and local genetic correlation analyses using East Asian datasets. Genes within the correlated genetic regions were subsequently used to identify potentially enriched biological pathways between substance use and neurodegenerative diseases. We identified a global genetic correlation between smoking cessation and PD, which we confirmed in complementary European genetic ancestry data. Gene set enrichment analyses highlighted potentially shared genetic mechanisms between breast cancer and AD, which warrants further exploration. This work aims to promote further analyses across genetic ancestry groups.

Impact of Integrated Continuous Team Midwifery Care on Breastfeeding Success within the Iranian Health System: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

INTRODUCTION: Supporting women during the perinatal period helps build confidence, strengthens early bonding between mother and baby, and encourages successful breastfeeding. Continuous midwifery care models are one of the ways that support women in this periods. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of integrated continuous team midwifery care (ICTMC) in enhancing breastfeeding success in the Iranian health system. METHODS: In this randomized controlled trial, 200 low-risk primiparous women with a gestational age of less than 12 weeks were recruited from public health centers. Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group, which received continuous midwifery care throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal follow-up, or the control group, which received routine care. The primary outcomes were early skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding success at the time of discharge and at 4-6 weeks postpartum. Data were analyzed using Stata, employing descriptive statistics, Chi-square, independent t-test, Phi/Cramer's V, and Cohen's d. The p < 0.05 is significant. Data were analyzed with SPSS 26. RESULTS: ICTMC groups were significantly more likely to initiate skin-to-skin contactearly skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth (92% vs. 74%, p < 0.001) and achieve successful breastfeeding at the discharge time (88% vs. 70%, p = 0.002) compared to the control group. At 6 weeks postpartum, breastfeeding success remained higher in the intervention group (82% vs. 65%, p = 0.004). CONCLUSION: Women with ICTMC, effectively support skin-to-skin contactearly mother-infant bonding and enhance breastfeeding success among low-risk primiparous women. Integrating this model into routine maternal care may improve perinatal outcomes.

Intravenous Tranexamic Acid Reduces Perioperative Blood Loss in Reduction Mammoplasty With Immediate Implant-Based Reconstruction: A Randomized, Triple-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative hematoma and oozing can compromise outcomes after reduction mammoplasty with immediate reconstruction. Intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA) is antifibrinolytic, but prospective evidence in this setting is limited. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine whether a single pre-incision dose of IV TXA reduces perioperative blood loss and fibrinolytic activation vs placebo. METHODS: In this randomized, triple-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, 60 women (American Society of Anesthesiologists I/II, 18-75 years) undergoing bilateral reduction mammoplasty with immediate implant-based reconstruction received TXA 10&#x2005;mg/kg in 100&#x2005;mL saline or placebo 10&#x2005;min before incision. The primary outcome was total blood loss within 24&#x2005;h (intraoperative suction + swab plus drain output). Secondary outcomes were perioperative changes in hemoglobin, D-dimer and fibrinogen, and complications within 30 days. Intention-to-treat analyses were performed. RESULTS: All patients completed follow-up. Total blood loss was lower with TXA than with placebo (mean &#xb1; standard deviation: 221.1 &#xb1; 72.4 vs 298.1 &#xb1; 90.6&#x2005;mL; mean difference -77.0&#x2005;mL; 95% CI, -122.4 to -31.6; P = .001). Intraoperative loss and 24&#x2005;h drain output were also reduced. Postoperative D-dimer rise was attenuated with TXA (0.31 &#xb1; 0.15 vs 0.49 &#xb1; 0.22&#x2005;&#xb5;g/mL; P = .002); hemoglobin decline was smaller. No thromboembolic, neurologic, or allergic events occurred; no skin-flap necrosis was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Pre-incisional IV TXA safely reduces perioperative bleeding and fibrinolytic activity after reduction mammoplasty. These findings support incorporation of IV TXA into perioperative protocols. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2 (THERAPEUTIC): For image description, please refer to the figure legend and surrounding text.

Robust optimisation for photon radiotherapy: A scoping review of models, paradigms, and reporting.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Robust optimisation offers an alternative to conventional margin-based photon radiotherapy planning by explicitly modelling uncertainty, but practice is variable and not standardised. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A scoping review was conducted to map robust optimisation for photon external beam radiotherapy. Electronic searches of Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar (2000-2025, English language) identified planning studies that incorporated modelled uncertainties into the optimisation process and reported at least one robustness-related outcome. Data were charted on clinical context, uncertainty models, optimisation paradigms, robustness metrics and evidence for clinical implementation. RESULTS: Seventy-one studies were included. Most investigated prostate, breast or lung cancer and used intensity-modulated radiotherapy or volumetric-modulated arc therapy in commercial or research treatment planning systems. Scenario-based worst-case (minimax) optimisation was the dominant paradigm in clinically oriented work, while chance-constrained, conditional value at-risk, distributionally robust and adaptive formulations were confined to small methodological series. Uncertainty modelling focused mainly on rigid set-up error; fewer studies incorporated respiratory motion, inter-fraction anatomical change, dose-calculation uncertainty or biological variation. Robustness was evaluated with diverse scenario-based dose-volume metrics, probabilistic coverage measures, composite robustness indices and, less often, biological endpoints. Direct clinical implementation reports were scarce. CONCLUSION: Robust photon planning is technically feasible and generally maintains or improves target coverage and organ sparing compared with margin-based planning. However, heterogeneity in uncertainty models, optimisation configuration and robustness reporting limits comparison and synthesis. Pragmatic minimum standards are proposed to support future consensus and wider clinical adoption.

CanDo (Canadian Donor Milk) randomised controlled trial: pasteurised human donor milk supplementation in the well-baby unit - protocol.

INTRODUCTION: Mother's milk is the gold standard for feeding newborns. Despite lactation support while in hospital, supplementation rates remain high in Canadian well-baby units at 35-50%. When supplementation is needed, the choice between formula milk and pasteurised human donor milk (donor milk) remains uncertain with a lack of clinical trials to inform this practice. This study aims to compare the effect of supplementing mother's milk with donor milk versus formula in infants at higher risk for supplementation (infants of diabetic mothers, infants born small for gestational age or with a birth weight less than 2.5&#x2009;kg and late preterm infants born between 350/7 and 366/7 weeks gestation). METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is an ongoing, open-label, single-centre, randomised controlled trial conducted at Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Canada. A total of 112 infants (56 per group) will be randomised to receive donor milk or infant formula as a supplement to mother's milk during their initial hospital stay, when supplementation is deemed necessary by the family and/or healthcare team. The primary outcome is exclusive human milk feeding at 4 months of age. Secondary outcomes include any or exclusive human milk feeding at 1, 2 and 3 months; infant growth and health indicators and breastfeeding self-efficacy. Exploratory outcomes encompass infant temperament; parental mental health (assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale); milk cortisol concentrations; and informal milk sharing comparing donor milk and formula supplementation. Follow-up includes monthly telephone assessments and a virtual or in-person visit at 4 months post partum. Data will be analysed using intention-to-treat principles. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The CanDo trial has received ethics approval from the Mount Sinai Hospital Research Ethics Board and the University of Toronto. Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, conference presentations and stakeholder engagement with hospital and public health decision-makers. Findings will address a critical evidence gap regarding the use of donor milk supplementation in well-baby units and may inform future clinical practice and policy in newborn feeding.
