Bariatric surgery (BS) is an effective treatment for severe obesity and its related comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. However, the anatomical and physiological changes associated with these procedures significantly increase the risk of preoperative and postoperative micronutrient deficiencies, which can lead to severe complications such as anemia, osteoporosis, and neurological disorders. This narrative review examines the prevalence and clinical implications of micronutrient deficiencies in BS patients, as well as evidence-based strategies for their prevention and management.

Background: Epidural analgesia is frequently used to alleviate labour pain, and dietary management during labour is of crucial importance. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of epidural analgesia for labour on gastric emptying in parturient women.
Methods: A total of 70 full-term parturient women were recruited and divided into two groups: the epidural analgesia group (LA, n = 35) and the non-epidural analgesia group (NA, n = 35).
