Article Synopsis
- Prolonged fasting before surgery can lead to negative effects like hypoglycemia and irritability in children, prompting recommendations for shorter fasting times in protocols like ERAS and ACERTO.
- This systematic review analyzed studies from 2017 to 2022 regarding shortened fasting in pediatric patients, ultimately including eight relevant studies from various health databases.
- Findings indicate that shorter preoperative fasting is safe for children and adolescents, resulting in benefits such as higher blood glucose levels, fewer incidents of hypoglycemia, and reduced nausea and emotional distress.

June 2020
Objective: Dietary lipid intake is associated with serum alpha-tocopherol levels; however, its impact on human milk is unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between maternal intake of vitamin E, lipids, and fatty acids and the concentration of alpha-tocopherol in human milk.
Methods: We conducted a longitudinal observational study, including 143 lactating women on 7, 30, and 90 days postpartum.
