Article Abstract
Objective: The costs associated with nutritious foods may be a barrier to healthy dietary choices and of particular concern to pregnancies complicated by diabetes. Therefore, a survey was conducted in a tertiary care diabetes and pregnancy clinic to compare the associated costs of actual food choices versus the cost of a constructed recommended diet.
Methods: Women with types 1, 2 and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) completed 24-hour dietary recalls under the supervision of the research coordinator (Actual Diet). A Recommended Diet for this population was constructed independent of participant responses. Actual and Recommended Diets were standardized per 2000 kcal, priced and compared for content and cost.
Results: Seventy-five women participated: 27 with GDM, 29 with type 1 diabetes and 19 with type 2 diabetes. There were no significant cost differences between Recommended and Actual Diets food choices expressed per 2000 kcal: Recommended Diet $10.14±3.72; Actual Diet GDM: $11.30±3.88; Actual Diet type 1 diabetes: $9.00±3.16; Actual Diet type 2 diabetes: $10.24±3.92. Percentage of fibre intake was lower for Actual Diets than Recommended Diet for all groups, while percentage of protein intake was lower in Actual than Recommended Diet for women with type 1 diabetes.
Conclusion: Clinical recommendations for healthy food choices may not be more expensive than actual choices made by pregnant women with diabetes.

Background: Preoperative fasting aims to reduce the risk of pulmonary aspiration. Our aim was to compare the incidence of increased gastric content after preoperative liberal versus a standard fasting in children.
Method: Two hundred children, presented for elective surgeries, were instructed to follow either 6-4-2 (standard group) or 6-4-0 (liberal group) preoperative fasting regimens.

Exhaled breath offers an interesting matrix of low invasive sampling of potentially relevant information about the organism's metabolism in the form of volatile organic compounds (VOC). The VOC can be exhaled by the ructus (Islam et al., 2023) or passed the blood-lung barrier for expiration through the lungs.

Objective: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a significant public health challenge in China. Accurate perception of individual CVD risk is crucial for timely intervention and preventive strategies. This study aimed to determine the alignment between CVD risk perception levels and objectively calculated CVD risk levels, then investigate the disparity in physical activity and healthy diet habits among distinct CVD risk perception categories.

Background: Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a rare genetic disorder with heterogeneous presentation, where acute encephalopathy is rarely described in literature. Therefore, initial neurologic symptoms could make the diagnosis and treatment challenging.
Case Presentation: A four-month-old male infant presented with acute encephalopathy, vomiting, bulging fontanel, decreased appetite and failure to thrive.
Long-Term Yo-Yo Dieting Exaggerates Liver Steatosis and Lesions but Preserves Muscle Performance in Male Zebrafish.

Weight regain within one year after weight loss is frequently observed and is referred to as yo-yo dieting or weight cycling. In this study, we explore the effects of yo-yo dieting on the liver, adipose tissue, and muscle characteristics of male zebrafish. Four-month-old AB wild-type male zebrafish were randomly assigned to three groups: high-calorie intake (H, seven meals per day), low-calorie intake (L, two meals per day), and yo-yo diet (the low- and high-calorie alternation switched every two weeks) groups.
