The aim of this study was to evaluate the preventive effects of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) or flaxseed oil (FO) on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced acute ulcerative colitis in female mice. ⋯ Consumption of large amounts of EVOO and FO as a treatment for or prevention against ulcerative colitis could potentially elicit unwanted adverse effects.

Efficacy and safety of immediate oral intake in patients with mild acute pancreatitis: A randomized controlled trial.
Early enteral nutrition is recommended for patients with severe acute pancreatitis (AP); however, nutritional management strategies for patients with mild AP have not been established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefits and safety of immediate oral intake of low-fat solid food in patients with mild AP who were allowed to take opioid analgesics. ⋯ The initial treatment strategy for mild AP should be altered from the gradual introduction of oral feeding upon the absence of pain to immediate oral nutrition with opioid analgesics, to improve treatment efficacy and reduce treatment cost.

Appropriate eating habits are crucial for sustained weight loss after bariatric surgery. A qualitative analysis of food consumption in the late postoperative period of bariatric surgery is thus advisable, even more so considering the increasing consumption of obesity-impacting ultra-processed foods. ⋯ RYGB promotes quick results in weight loss and a reduction of food intake, but the quality of food may affect long-term prognosis and deserves attention in the population studied. These results highlight the importance of dietary counseling aimed at guiding better food choices, in the interest of promoting sustained weight loss after bariatric surgery.
