Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to announce the launch of a new Special Issue of the journal Nutrients, entitled “Nutrition and Physical Activity for Childhood Cancer Prevention and Treatment”. Increasing evidence suggests a healthy lifestyle from the earliest years of life, including adequate nutrition and regular physical activity, is essential from a preventive, therapeutic and prognostic point of view. The global change in dietary patterns and physical activity levels has led to a dramatic increase in some of the main risk factors for the development and promotion of cancer, such as obesity and sedentary lifestyles. Therefore, the scope of this Special Issue will be to provide an extensive discussion regarding the potential impact of physical activity and nutrition in childhood cancer prevention and treatment.

All studies are welcome, including original research papers, narratives, systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The evidence generated through this Special Issue may be useful for parents, clinicians or coaches, or simply interested readers, and it may also inspire innovative new research.

Gender-based medicine is attracting increasing interest every day, but studies on pediatric populations are still limited. In this setting, sex differences among patients undergoing total parenteral nutrition (TPN) have not been previously reported. This study investigated the presence of sex differences in parenteral nutrition composition and outcomes among a cohort of pediatric patients admitted at the Oncohematology and Bone Marrow Transplant Unit of the Institute for Maternal and Child Health “Burlo Garofolo” of Trieste, Italy. For all 145 recruited patients (87 males, 58 females), the following data were collected: age, sex, volume and duration of TPN, macro- and micronutrient composition of TPN bags, electrolytic or blood gases imbalance, glycolipid alterations, liver damage during TPN, and the incidence of sepsis and thrombosis. The analysis showed that females required higher daily phosphate intake (p = 0.054) and essential amino acid supplementation (p = 0.07), while males had a higher incidence of hypertriglyceridemia (p < 0.05) and cholestasis. A higher incidence of sepsis was found in the non-transplanted male population (p < 0.05). No significant differences were appreciable in other analyzed variables. This study aims to create a basis for future gender-based nutritional recommendations in the pediatric field. Full article
