AI Article Synopsis
- Infantile colic affects 10-20% of infants, leading to significant stress for parents and prompting a review of dietary interventions as a potential treatment.
- The review analyzed 24 studies, indicating that a hypoallergenic diet for breastfeeding mothers and alternative formulas for formula-fed infants can help reduce colic symptoms.
- Further research is needed to validate the removal of poorly digested carbohydrates and to establish standardized definitions and measurement methods for infantile colic symptoms.
Article Abstract
Infantile colic, the cause of 10-20% of all early paediatrician visits, can lead to parental exhaustion and stress. A systematic review was conducted to examine whether dietary change provides an effective therapy for infantile colic. Six databases were searched from 1960, and 24 studies selected for inclusion. In breastfed infants, evidence suggests that a hypoallergenic maternal diet may be beneficial for reducing symptoms of colic. In formula-fed infants, colic may improve after changing from a standard cow's milk formula to either a hydrolysed protein formula or a soy-based formula. Fibre-supplemented formulae had no effect. Removal of poorly digested carbohydrates from the infant's diet has promise, but additional clinical studies must be conducted before a recommendation can be made. Use of a universal definition to measure symptoms of infantile colic and consistent analysis of urine and faecal samples would improve the evidence in this area.

Background: Infantile colic (IC) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by crying spells lasting more than 3 hours a day, more than 3 days a week, for 3 weeks, according to the Rule of Three's.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of added probiotic supplementation in the mother's diet on the crying frequency of babies with infantile colic, maternal attachment, and maternal quality of life.
Design And Settings: 36 mothers and their babies were randomized into two groups.

Purpose: To assess seasonal variations in infant colic (IC) prevalence and explore the association between climate factors, including temperature, air pollutants, and their interactions, with IC.
Methods: Medical records of 1955 infants aged 0-3 months from October 2021 to September 2022 were analyzed, with IC diagnosed according to Rome IV criteria. Seasonal differences in IC prevalence were compared using chi-square tests.

Introduction: Ectopic pancreatic tissue (EPT) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of pancreatic tissue in an abnormal location, separate from the pancreas, without any anatomical or vascular connection to it. This anomaly is often an incidental finding during operation or autopsy. This peculiarity poses clinical and radiological challenges for surgeons, particularly during laparoscopic or open procedures.

Aberrant anatomy in the context of the critical view of safety.

Department of Minimal Invasive and Bariatric, Surgery University Hospital of Indianapolis, Indianapolis, USA.
Background: The protective impact of the Critical View of Safety (CVS) approach on the vasculo-biliary injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) depends largely upon the understanding of the normal and variant anatomy. Structures exposed during the acquisition of the CVS can deviate from the typical dual configuration of the cystic duct and artery (gallbladder pedicle) representing either a third (supernumerary) or atypical in course (heterotopic) element. The aim of this study was to determine the identity and the frequency of these anatomical elements and to propose anatomic schemata that can guide the achievement of CVS by surgeons.
