Serum amino acid (AA) profiles represent a valuable tool in the metabolic assessment of cancer patients; still, information on AA pattern head and neck (HNC) patients is insufficient. The aim study was to assess whether serum levels were associated with stage neoplastic disease prognosis primary HNC patients.Two hundred two included study. Thirty-one AAs derivatives measured through an ultraperformance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). association between concentrations...
Quantitative relationships in CO2 transport and exchange processes were combined for use as the basic components of an original mathematical model calculation venoarterial blood concentration difference (v-aDCO2). This is calculated sum increment (CCO2) related to increase tension (delta P) from arterial venous value at constant O2 saturation CCO2/delta decrease S) S). The newly developed correlated well with experimental data which they derived (r2 = 0.94–0.99). results provided by compared...
Hypophosphatemia in critically ill and postoperative (p.o.) patients is a multifactorial event, also related to severity of illness. This study was conducted assess pathophysiologic correlates hypophosphatemia the simultaneous relationship with clinical events after hepatectomy. A total 333 measurements were obtained 59 patients: these performed preoperatively at p.o. days 1, 3, 7 all patients, subsequently, until recovery or death, only those complications. Measurements included plasma...
Although hypocholesterolemia in posttraumatic states is considered a generic expression of acute-phase response, relationship between severity and bad prognosis has also been found (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6). The issue still poorly understood complicated by the circumstance that plasma cholesterol affected simultaneously multiple factors whose impacts have never distinctly characterized. postoperative state after hepatectomy an interesting condition which most these may be present. We assessed...
The effect of the infusion mixed amino acids with glucose and fat on metabolic rate (MR) in sepsis (S) nonseptic trauma (NS) was investigated. results demonstrated that diet-induced thermogenesis (specific dynamic action) controlled S NS 25% 18% MR variability, respectively (r2 = .25 .18, p less than .01 for both). Also, represented a quantitatively relevant portion total MR. There larger thermogenic respect to (22.3 vs. 5.7 cal/mg N, .01) concomitantly increased fat. suggest importance...
Objectives:Acute abdominal symptoms with CT scan evidence of intramural gas in bowel walls (pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis, PCI) and the portal venous blood (PBG) patients undergoing chemotherapy may represent a worrisome picture, suggestive necrosis. This picture remains major clinical clue reporting new cases help to share awareness experience on management. We describe patient acute PCI PBG under cetuximab, oxaliplatin, tegafur-uracil folinic acid for metastatic adenocarcinoma...
Previous studies have shown that severe sepsis after major trauma results in the reprioritization of release hepatic acute-phase proteins (APP). They suggest competition for leucine nutritional utilization may be responsible. To test this hypothesis, a branched-chain enriched (46.6%) amino acid mixture (BCAA) was administered on prospective randomized basis with standard TPN therapy to 16 septic post-trauma patients. After diagnosed, (control-TPN or BCAA-TPN) given 12 days, until death...
Background: Changes in plasma uric acid concentration (UA, μmol/L) postoperative and critical illness have pathophysiological clinical relevance may alter antioxidant capacity. This issue is poorly understood because UA simultaneously affected by multiple factors with impacts that never been definitively characterized.
Metabolic and respiratory interactions were analyzed in a large group of septic patients (S) reference nonseptics (NS) during the iv administration glucose fat. In spite moderate increase CO 2 production (VCO ) observed fat S, VCO ‐sparing effect fat, with respect to equicaloric amounts glucose, was reconfirmed. The relevance therapeutic modulation parenteral nutrition, relative impact on abnormal patterns, emphasized by analyzing physiological relationships mechanisms responsible for work...
