Article Abstract
Feeding difficulties are common in young infants presenting with acute bronchiolitis, but limited data is available to guide clinicians adapting nutritional management. We aimed to assess paediatricians' nutritional practices among Western Europe French speaking countries. A survey was disseminated to describe advice given to parents for at home nutritional support, in hospital nutritional management, and preferred methods for enteral nutrition and for intravenous fluid management. A documentary search of international guidelines was concomitantly conducted. Ninety-three (66%) contacted physicians responded. Feeding difficulties were a common indication for infants' admission. Written protocols were rarely available. Enteral nutrition was favoured most of the time when oral nutrition was insufficient and might be withheld in case of severe dyspnoea to decrease respiratory workload. Half of physicians were aware of hyponatremia risk and pathophysiology, and isotonic intravenous solutions were used in less than 15% of centres. International guideline search (23 countries) showed a lack of detailed nutritional management recommendations in most of them.Conclusion: practices were inconsistent among physicians. Guidelines detailed nutritional management poorly. Awareness of hyponatremia risk in relation to intravenous hypotonic fluids and of the safety of enteral hydration and nutrition is insufficient. New guidelines including detailed nutritional management recommendations are urgently needed. What is Known? • Infants presenting with acute bronchiolitis face feeding difficulties. • Underfeeding may promote undernutrition, and intravenous hydration with hypotonic fluids may induce hyponatremia. What is New? • Physicians' nutritional practices are inconsistent and awareness of hyponatremia risk and pathophysiology is insufficient among physicians. • Awareness of hyponatremia risk and pathophysiology is insufficient among physicians. • The reasons for enteral nutrition withholding in bronchiolitis infants are not evidence based, and national guidelines of acute bronchiolitis across the world are elusive regarding nutritional management. • National guidelines of acute bronchiolitis across the world are elusive regarding nutritional management.

Among the various types of tumors, breast cancer (BC) has a high distribution in the world population and is responsible for a high mortality rate. Like other forms of cancer, BC is characterised by distinctive features such as high-energy metabolism in tumor cells, genetic mutations, and mitochondrial dysfunction that sometimes make conventional therapies less effective. However, there is a growing awareness of the vital role played by diet therapy in the overall management of the patient with BC, both by supporting standard therapy and by directly targeting aberrant biological processes involved in carcinogenesis.

Background: A plant-focused, healthy dietary pattern, such as the Mediterranean diet enriched with dietary fiber, polyphenols, and polyunsaturated fats, is well known to positively influence the gut microbiota. Conversely, a processed diet high in saturated fats and sugars negatively impacts gut diversity, potentially leading to weight gain, insulin resistance, and chronic, low-grade inflammation. Despite this understanding, the mechanisms by which the Mediterranean diet impacts the gut microbiota and its associated health benefits remain unclear.

The scientific community has become more enthusiastic about ketogenic diet (KD) to improve the outcomes in medical conditions, including cancer by exploiting the reprogramed metabolism of cancer cells, making the diet a promising candidate as an adjuvant cancer therapy. From this perspective, the aim of this study was to provide a broad overview covering the therapeutic effects, evaluating the clinical evidence of clinical studies underlying the implementation of the KD in the context of cancer treatment and prognosis. A scoping literature search between the years 1990 and 2023 was carried out by using PRISMA guidelines and searching through different databases of the clinical studies supporting the effectiveness and benefits of KD in various carcinomas that could provide findings of evidence on the prognosis and clinical outcomes of cancer treatment.

Background: Stress is a prevalent mental health concern that often emerges in late adolescence or early adulthood. Since 2007, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved any novel anxiolytic pharmaceuticals, leading to increased interest in nutritional supplements as alternative therapies for stress management.
Purpose: Building on our previous study, this work aims to investigate the synergistic effects of Theanine (Th) and Walnut Peptide (WP) on stress mitigation and cognitive enhancement.
