Certain probiotics may prevent the development of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD) and Clostridium difficile-associated (CDAD), but their effectiveness depends on both strain dose. There are few data nutritional interventions to control AAD/CDAD in spinal cord injury (SCI) population. The present study aimed assess (1) efficacy consuming a commercially produced probiotic containing at least 6·5 × 10⁹ live Lactobacillus casei Shirota (LcS) reducing incidence AAD/CDAD, (2) whether...
Sixty nine patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia have been studied endoscopy, biopsy, quick urease (CLO) test, Helicobacter pylori culture, and the 13C-urea breath test before after treatment tripotassium dicitratobismuthane (DeNol) two tablets twice daily for four weeks. Symptoms of were recorded using a standard questionnaire. Using H culture as gold standard, sensitivity was 90%, specificity 98.6%, accuracy 94.8% positive predictive value 98.2% negative 92.5%. Conversion rate from to status...
An automated method of chemiluminescence analysis nitrogen used routinely for 4 yr. Liquid samples (urine, enteral, and parenteral feeds) required simple dilution, whereas feces a modified acid-digestion procedure, before analysis. For urine samples, the coefficient variation was within batch from 0.9-3.6%, between 4.3-7.6%. At sample injection rate 2 microliter/sec, useful dynamic range, diluted 1:200, 0-14 g N/liter. Precision fecal 3.8-6.7% low to high content. The correlation this...
1. In the first part of study, absorption lactitol, a new disaccharide analogue lactose, was studied using an in vivo jejunal perfusion technique man. Intestinal uptake lactitol from isotonic solutions containing 10, 30, 60, and 100 mmol lactitol/l insignificant. 2. second study laxative threshold determined compared with that sorbitol double-blind, randomized, cross-over on twenty-one normal subjects. Laxative considered to be either maximum dose tolerated without unacceptable diarrhoea or...
Ten patients with histologically proven cirrhosis, admitted in grade I to II acute hepatic coma, received addition a standard dietary protein free "anticoma" regime, continuous nasogastric infusion of branched-chain amino acid enriched chemically defined enteral diet (Hepaticaid) containing an equivalent 70 g protein/day for mean 7.3 days (range 3-23). No complications therapy were observed and, specifically, the use fine bore tubes did not provoke variceal hemorrhage. Overall positive...
Data on the prevalence of malnutrition among patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI) are lacking. The aim present study was to assess nutritional risk at admission, and status support in UK SCI Centres (SCIC); a cross-sectional, multicentre four SCIC. A standardised questionnaire used distributed participating After obtaining informed consent, baseline demographic data, score by ‘Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool’, BMI routine blood biochemistry were collected from every patient...
Cunniffe, B, Papageorgiou, M, O'Brien, Davies, NA, Grimble, GK, and Cardinale, M. Acute citrulline-malate supplementation high-intensity cycling performance. J Strength Cond Res 30(9): 2638-2647, 2016-Dietary L-citrulline-malate (CM) consumption has been suggested to improve skeletal muscle metabolism contractile efficiency, which would be expected predispose exercising individuals greater fatigue resistance. The purpose of this study was examine the effects CM on acid-base balance exercise...
Rising use of foodbanks highlights food insecurity in the UK. Adverse life events (e.g. unemployment, benefit delays or sanctions) and financial strains are thought to be drivers foodbank use. This research aimed explore who uses foodbanks, factors associated with increased insecurity. We surveyed those seeking help from front line crisis providers (N = 270) a comparison group Advice Centres (ACs) 245) relation demographics, adverse events, strain household security. About 55.9% users were...
Objective To determine whether critically ill children are hypermetabolic and to calculate predictive equations appropriate for children. Design Prospective, clinical study. Setting Pediatric intensive care unit. Patients A total of 57 (39 boys) aged 9 months 15.8 yrs. Interventions None. Measurements Main Results The median resting energy expenditure measurement measured by indirect calorimetry was 37.2 (range, 11.9–66.6) kcal·kg−1·day−1. This significantly lower than would be predicted...
