Review Meta Analysis
Dynamic changes at high-protein dietary pattern of major fatty acids in healthy lactating women: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Fatty acids (FAs) in human milk are important nutrients for infants. They play important roles in energy supply, nervous system development, and metabolic function maintenance. However, how the composition of major milk FAs change with lactation stages remains controversial. ⋯ These findings could shed light on the dynamic change progress of major FA metabolism, potentially enhancing the knowledge of lactation biology, and improving infant feeding practices to meet their needs.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Adherence and impact of an oral nutritional supplement enriched in leucine, EVOO, EPA and DHA, and beta-glucans on the coverage of energy and protein requirements in patients with cancer and malnutrition: Alisenoc study.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of an enhanced ONS (enriched in EPA, DHA, leucine, and beta-glucans) on the dietary intake of cancer patients. ⋯ The use of an enhanced-ONS helps meet the nutritional requirements of cancer patients, especially those who have a more compromised clinical condition, with high adherence, good tolerance, and acceptance.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Palmitoylethanolamide and polydatin in pediatric irritable bowel syndrome: A multicentric randomized controlled trial.
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of co-micronized palmitoylethanolamide (PEA)/polydatin (PD) in the treatment of abdominal pain symptoms in pediatric patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). ⋯ Co-micronized PEA/PD is a safe and effective treatment to treat abdominal pain symptoms in pediatric IBS.

The aim of this scoping review was to characterize the diagnostic criteria, their cutoff values, and the prevalence of cachexia in Asians. We systematically reviewed studies involving Asian adult patients with cachexia due to cancer and chronic diseases other than cancer, such as heart and renal failure. Sources in English and Japanese published between December 2008 and April 2022, including observational, longitudinal, cross-sectional, and clinical trials, were examined. ⋯ The prevalence rates of cachexia were 3.4% to 66.2% and 6.2% to 93% in non-cancer and cancer patients, respectively. Several diagnostic criteria, such as BMI and muscle mass, have been used, which are affected by racial differences in body size. However, few studies have used cutoff values for Asians.

Complementary feeding refers to the practice of providing solid foods and liquids in addition to breast milk when a baby reaches 6 mo of age. This becomes necessary to meet a baby's nutritional needs because of the potential nutrient insufficiency of breast milk alone. This review serves as an effective means to comprehensively understand the intricate and evolving nature of complementary feeding practices, often influenced by cultural, regional, and parental factors, from a literature perspective that acknowledges the dynamic aspects of complementary feeding. ⋯ A total of 1205 eligible studies were retrieved from the three databases searched, with 17 articles finally reviewed for data extraction. Overall, there remains a gap between mothers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding complementary feeding. Addressing these disparities within and between countries necessitates targeted interventions and educational programs to enhance mothers' understanding, align attitudes with guidelines, and promote healthier practices for the well-being of children.
