Parenteral nutrition improves nutritional status, autonomic symptoms and QoL in patients with TTR-FAP

2015

Background Transthyretin related familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) is an inherited form of amyloidosis, leading to death in about 10 years in most cases for cardiac failure or wasting syndrome. Previous study showed that modified body mass index (mBMI) was related to time before death, duration of gastrointestinal disturbances, malabsorption and functional capacity. Futhermore, outcome after liver tranplantation was greater in patients with an mBMI over 600.

The metabolic status of internal intensive care patients as indicated by 3-methylhistidine excretion and nitrogen balance

1984

Abstract The metabolic status of 15 intensive care patients receiving a standardized total parenteral nutrition regimen was followed up to 15 days immediately after admission by measuring 3-methylhistidine, total nitrogen, and creatinine excretion. The average 3-methylhistidine excretion was within the normal range during the first 3 days, rising on day 4 and reached a maximum of 70% above normal values on day 5. It declined to within normal range thereafter in most of the patients. Mean values for creatinine excretion remained relatively constant within the normal range throughout the study. During all days 3-methylhistidine was negatively correlated with N-balance. It is concluded that th…

Possibilities and necessities of parenteral nutrition with amino acid mixtures.

1975

In recent years, there have been conclusive findings in the field of maintaining homeostasis following trauma, bleeding, nutritional and metabolic disturbances and infections. These findings can help save the lives of an increasing number of injured and sick by enlarging the therapeutic possibilities which have previously been unimaginable. This development has been made possible by the good cooperation of both basic research and clinical staff whose common aim was to achieve advances in this field of intensive care. The aim of the present study is to make a relevant theoretical and practical contribution to the widening possibilities and necessities in this field.

Parenteral Nutrition in Infants and Children

2012

Parenteral nutrition (PN) is the technique of artificial nutrition (AN) that provides the human organism with fluids, energy, and nutrients, which go directly to the circulatory system through the venous network. The main aim of AN is to recover or maintain the nutritional status, enhancing the optimal growing and development of the child. Additionally, in some cases AN enables to control the underlying disease of the patient [1, 2].

Nutrition in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer. Malnutrition is common in patients with head and neck cancer. Due to natural course of disease or therapy, malnutrition may increase. This leads to a reduced prognosis, quality of life, and should be considered in early stages of the disease. First choice is an enteral feeding via a nasogastral feeding tube or a PEG. In special cases a parenteral nutrition may be necessary.

Parental informed consent in pediatric cancer trials: A population-based survey in Germany

2012

In Germany, nearly every child afflicted by a malignant dis-ease or a central nervous system tumor is enrolled in a clinicaltrial during treatment. Many of these children are under the age of5 years when they are first diagnosed [1]. The decision whether ornot to participate in a clinical trial is normally made by theparents on behalf of their child. Therefore, ensuring adequatelyinformed parental consent is essential to ethical practice in pedi-atric oncology.However, many empirical studies have revealed difficultieswith the informed consent process when parents are faced withthe decision to enroll their child in a clinical trial. Previous studyfindings have indicated that recalling signing th…
