Background & aimsIntestinal failure (IF) is not included in the list of PubMed Mesh terms, as term describing a state non functioning other organs, and such well recognized. No scientific society has yet devised formal definition classification IF. The European Society for Clinical Nutrition Metabolism guideline committee endorsed its "home artificial nutrition chronic IF" "acute special interest groups to write recommendations on these issues.MethodsAfter Medline Search, December 2013,...
<h3>Background</h3> The indications for intestinal transplantation (ITx) are still debated. Knowing survival rates and causes of death on home parenteral nutrition (HPN) will improve decisions. <h3>Methods</h3> A prospective 5-year study compared 389 non-candidates (no indication, no contraindication) 156 candidates (indication, ITx. Indications were: HPN failure (liver failure; multiple episodes catheter-related venous thrombosis or sepsis; severe dehydration), high-risk underlying disease...
Background: Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is an established treatment for the management of patients with chronic intestinal failure. No quality‐of‐life assessment tools have been developed and validated specifically this patient population, previous studies used generic instruments or techniques not in HPN. The quality life (QOL) should produce clinically relevant data reflecting patients' issues. HPN‐QOL was designed to assess QOL HPN patients. purpose study test hypothesized scale...
In order to investigate the quality of life on home parenteral nutrition and after intestinal transplantation using comparable questionnaires, treatment-specific questionnaire for adult patients was adapted transplant recipients. Both instruments were composed 8 functional scales, 9 symptom 3 global health status/quality scales 2 single items. A preliminary cross-sectional study enrolling all currently cared at same hospital carried out. Exclusion criteria age ≥ 60 years hospitalization time...
Background and Study Aims: Increasingly, patients fed by gastrostomy tube are surviving the lifespan of device. Data scarce concerning factors affecting longevity failure tubes or criteria for selection replacement devices which leads to cost-effective patient management. The aims study were: set tubes; determine causes failure, device longevity; examine effect initiating an educational programme caregivers on resource utilization in long-term enteral nutrition patients.

The techniques of bonding anionic antibiotics by treatment with cationic surfactants were applied to continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) catheters. elution 14C-penicillin from tridodecylmethylammonium chloride (TDMAC) treated silicone elastomer catheters in solution was biphasic, 95% dissociated the catheter 48 h. Forty percent TDMAC left surface during initial 2 days. ability surfactant bind after incubation correlated directly amount remaining. Rats intraperitoneal inoculated...
There is an emerging need for plant-based, vegan options patients requiring nutritional support.Twenty-four adults at risk of malnutrition (age: 59 years (SD 18); Sex: 18 female, 6 male; BMI: 19.0 kg/m2 3.3); multiple diagnoses) plant-based support participated in a multi-center, prospective study (vegan suitable) multi-nutrient, ready-to-drink, oral supplement (ONS) [1.5 kcal/mL; 300 kcal, 12 g protein/200 mL bottle, mean prescription 275 mL/day 115)] alongside dietary advice 28 days....
