To determine predictors of survival and weaning off parenteral nutrition (PN) in pediatric short bowel syndrome (SBS) patients.Pediatric SBS carries extensive morbidity high mortality, but factors believed to predict or from PN have been based on limited studies. This study reviews outcomes a large number infants identifies success.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis was conducted 80 patients. Primary outcome survival; secondary ability wean PN. Nonsignificant covariates were...
Trace elements (TEs) dosing and monitoring in home parenteral nutrition (PN) patients vary with their underlying conditions.This retrospective observational study evaluated TE dosing, serum concentrations monitoring, dose-concentration relationships between doses 26 adult adolescent PN patients.There was a total of 40,493 days. Average zinc 9.1 mg/d 7.6 resulted the majority (90%) within normal range without short bowel syndrome (SBS), respectively. Selenium at about 70 mcg/d 60% selenium...
The pharmacy profession offers diverse career paths. Yet, students may not be familiar with these various paths and struggle to choose one that is best suited their interests, goals, values. Limited literature has reported on students' interests. However, no studies have evaluated graduates' eventual as compared initial choices when they were students. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was compare subsequent This a descriptive cross-sectional analyzed data enrolled in...
Health sciences programs are increasingly expanding their curricula to bridge foundational scientific knowledge with needed skills practice and patient care. The primary objectives of this study 1) assess whether the personal professional development (PPD) subdomains (self-assessment, leadership, innovation entrepreneurship, professionalism) integrated in a pharmacy curriculum; 2) identify any gaps related subdomains' learning objectives.Four different mapping activities were completed...
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) increasingly is being used to treat critically ill patients with disease. CRRT removes waste products but also nutrients. Our understanding of trace element clearance has been limited by poor assay sensitivity. The development inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) allows for the measurement removal.Continuous venovenous haemodialysis (CVVHD) transmembrane clearances elements and urea were assessed using a bovine blood-based in vitro...
Abstract Background/Purpose: The use of needleless positive pressure connector valves (PPVs) on venous access devices (VADs) has been shown to have possible benefits in decreasing VAD occlusion rates. Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) rates, however, variable. With this potential for improving patient outcomes, costs, and facilitating nursing care catheter management, the PPV becomes both advantageous desirable. Methodology: This was a randomized, prospective, parallel clinical...
