Background and

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is known as the standard treatment for inflammatory diseases of the gallbladder. This surgical method causes complications in the patients. To prevent gastric aspiration during anesthesia, long fasting periods are considered for the patients before surgery, which itself leads to serious complications before and during surgery. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of oral consumption of honey syrup on the patients' feelings of hunger and thirst before surgery, as well as the hemodynamic symptoms of laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations.

This study was conducted as a double-blind, randomized clinical trial on 68 patients who were candidates for laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. The prescription of honey water in the intervention group and placebo in the control group was twice a day (eight and two hours before the operation, each time 15 ml). In this study, the variables of hunger and thirst, blood pressure, and heart rate were evaluated and recorded. The data were analyzed using SPSS V22.

Oral consumption of honey beer syrup was effective on the feeling of thirst and hunger before surgery in the intervention subjects (P=0.004 and P=0.008, respectively). At different times, the average systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were not significantly different in the two groups (P>0.05). Gender had a significant relationship with the average systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate (P>0.05).

Oral consumption of honey syrup before surgery reduced the feeling of hunger and thirst in the patients.

Food insecurity and hunger not only affect physical health, but also have social and psychological effects. Therefore, providing food security for society is one of the major goals of social and economical development programs. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and intensity of food insecurity at North West of Tabriz as a population sample of East Azerbaijan province. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 subjects, 18-78 years old (168 females and 132 males) that were selected by simple sampling method. Demographic questionnaire was completed and information related to food consumption was collected by using 24- hour's food recall questionnaire for three days a week (one holiday and two days at the middle of the week). Hunger index was determined as inadequate intake of energy and hidden hunger index as inadequate intake of the key nutrients (energy, vitamin A, protein, riboflavin, calcium). Data were analyzed by Nutrition III software. The prevalence of hunger and hidden hunger were 26% and 41.6% respectively. All of the subjects with hunger consumed calcium less than recommended levels. They also consumed riboflavin, protein and vitamin A 94.8%, 74.3 and 56.4% lower than recommended levels respectively. Subjects with hidden hunger consumed calcium, riboflavin, protein, and vitamin A 89.6%, 77.6%, 19.2%, and 9.6% lower than recommended levels respectively. Only 32.3% of subjects were secure in terms of getting all those five key nutrients, i. e. energy, protein, vitamin A, riboflavin and calcium. Food insecurity in this area is prevalent, therefore programming for taking the edge off it and giving correct information on sufficient, varied and balanced diet is recommended.
