Early Gut Microbiome: Influence of Diet from early childhood to Toddlerhood
The development of gut microbiota in early life is influenced significantly by early infancy feeding practices, including breast milk, formula milk, and the introduction of solid foods. Standard diets such as the Mediterranean, Japanese, Nordic, and Atlantic diets shape the gut microbiota in children, while special diets tailored for conditions like cow milk allergy, FGIDs, and inborn errors of metabolism have unique impacts on gut health. Dietary diversity plays a crucial role in determining the composition and function of the gut microbiome, with strategies aimed at promoting a healthy gut microbiome through tailored dietary interventions showing promise. Case studies and clinical evidence highlight the effectiveness of these dietary interventions in enhancing gut health, pointing to future directions in research and application for optimizing gut microbiota through diet.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
