ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of colostrum therapy on days to start a suckling diet in newborns diagnosed with simple gastroschisis. METHODS: Randomized clinical trial with newborns diagnosed with simple gastroschisis at a federal hospital in Rio de Janeiro who were randomized to receive oropharyngeal administration of 0.2mL of colostrum or a "sham procedure" during the first 3 days of life. The analysis included clinical outcomes such as days without food, days with parenteral feeding, days until the start of enteral feeding, days to reach complete enteral feeding, sepsis and length of hospital stay. RESULTS: The onset of oral feeding (suction) in patients with simple gastroschisis in both groups occurred at a median of 15 days. CONCLUSION: The present study showed that there were no significant differences in the use of colostrum therapy and the number of days to the start of enteral feeding and suction diet between groups of newborns with simple gastroschisis.

Purpose To evaluate the effect of supplementation with omega-3 sources on the fatty acid composition of human milk. Methods The review consisted of the search for articles published in PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (Virtual Health Library[VHL]) and Web of Science databases using the following keywords: fatty acids, omega-3, human milk and supplementation; for this purpose, we have used the program of research to integrate the services for the maintenance of autonomy (PRISMA) checklist. The following selection criteria were used: articles in English, Portuguese, Spanish or Italian, published between 2000 and 2015, and about studies performed in humans. We found 710 articles that met the established criteria; however, only 22 of them were selected to be part of this study. Results All studies found a positive relationship between the consumption of omega-3 sources and their concentration in human milk. The differences in the findings are due to the distinct methods used, such as the specific time of the omega-3 supplementation, the type of omega-3 source offered, as well as the sample size. Conclusion Although the studies were different in several methodological aspects, it was possible to observe the importance of omega-3 supplementation during gestation and/or the puerperium.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar o efeito da suplementação com fontes de ômega 3 sobre a composição de ácidos graxos do leite humano. Métodos A revisão consistiu na busca de artigos publicados nas bases de dados PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde e Web of Science utilizando-se as palavras-chave: ácidos graxos, ômega-3, leitematerno e suplementação; para isso, foi utilizado o checklist PRISMA. Foram utilizados os seguintes critérios para a seleção: artigos publicados em inglês, português, espanhol ou italiano, entre os anos de 2000 a 2015, sobre estudos realizados em humanos. A busca bibliográfica, segundo a estratégia estabelecida, resultou em 710 artigos. Entretanto, apenas 22 destes foram selecionados para compor a presente revisão. Resultados Todos os estudos encontraram relação positiva entre o consumo de fontes de ômega 3 e sua concentração no leite humano. As diferenças nos achados se devem aos métodos empregados como, por exemplo, o momento da suplementação do ômega 3, o tipo de fonte de ômega 3 ofertado, e o tamanho amostral. Conclusão Apesar de os estudos serem díspares em inúmeros aspectos metodológicos, observou-se a importância da suplementação do ômega 3 na gestação e/ou no puerpério.
