Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects early postoperative tube feeding on outcomes liver transplant recipients. Methods: Fifty patients were randomized prospectively receive enteral formula via nasointestinal tubes (tube‐feeding [TF] group) or maintenance IV fluid until oral diets initiated (control group). Thirty‐one completed study. Resting energy expenditure, nitrogen balance, and grip strength measured days 2, 4, 7, 12 after transplantation. Calorie protein...
Bariatric surgery (BS) is effective in treating morbid obesity, but the impact of prior BS on candidacy for liver transplantation (LT) unclear. We examined 78 patients with cirrhosis compared a concurrent cohort 156 matched by age, Model End-Stage Liver Disease score, and underlying disease. rates transplant denial after evaluation, delisting waiting list, survival LT. The median time from to LT evaluation was 7 years. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass most common procedure performed (63% cohort)....
Background: Registered dietitian/registered nurse (RD/RN) teams were created to place small bowel feeding tubes (SBFT) at the bedside in intensive care unit (ICU) patients using an electromagnetic tube placement device (ETPD). The primary objective of this study was evaluate safety placing ICU ETPD. Secondary outcomes included success rate, cost, and timeliness initiation. Methods: Data collected prospectively on 20 SBFT blind placements (control group). After implementing a protocol for...
The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) introduced an approach for malnutrition diagnosis in 2019 comprised of screening followed by assessment three phenotypic criteria: weight loss, low BMI, and muscle mass, two etiologic reduced food intake/assimilation, inflammation/disease burden. This planned update reconsiders the GLIM framework based published knowledge experience over past five years. A working group (n = 43 members) conducted a literature search spanning 2019-2024...
Abstract Background Reduced muscle mass in patients with cirrhosis is linked to poor clinical outcomes. Bioimpedance analysis estimates fat (FM), fat‐free (FFM), and phase angle (PhA), a marker of cell membrane integrity correlating computed tomography–based assessments. We hypothesized that PhA would remain stable after paracentesis. Methods Bioelectrical impedance was measured immediately before paracentesis using 256‐frequency bioimpedance spectroscopy device. assessed median paired...
Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has impacted all aspects of our population. “Troubling Trichotomy” what can be done technologically , should ethicall y, and must legally is a reality during these unusual circumstances. Recent ethical considerations regarding allocation scarce resources, such as mechanical ventilators, have been proposed. These apply to other disciplines nutrition support, although decisions support diminished potential for devastating outcomes....
Zielsetzung: Das Bronchialkarzinom besitzt in den Industrieländern unter malignen Erkrankungen bei Männern die höchste und Frauen eine zunehmende Inzidenz. Wir führten Krankheitskostenstudie für Deutschland durch, um volkswirtschaftliche Bedeutung dieser Erkrankung zu untersuchen wichtigsten Kostenfaktoren identifizieren.
Nutrition therapy is vital to the overall management of lung transplant recipients. The objective this review outline current applications pre- and posttransplant nutrition adult recipient. Pretransplant decisions are based on cause end-stage disease, indications, pretransplant nutritional status. Maintaining adequate nutrient stores major goal for patients awaiting transplantation. In course, several gastrointestinal (GI) complications such as gastroesophageal reflux, gastroparesis, distal...

Prospective retrospective study designs presented as well advantages disadvantages each designs. Descriptive statistics summarize data graphical tools display shape distribution a set guide support professionals select appropriate tests. Fundamental topics statistics, including...
Someone once told me that you (as a writer) are only as good your worst publication. I think the point of statement is should not submit paper unless have put best effort into writing it. The quality often reflection amount time spent planning and As detailed in this Commentary, for publication single step but process includes planning, writing, submitting, revising, resubmitting, proofing. Developing skills involves seeking mentors opportunities to write. However, if passion or desire...
Vaccination with gene-transfected tumor cells has recently been proposed as a new strategy in the immunotherapy of cancer. Since autologous provide an optimal antigen profile, possibility generating single cell suspensions from renal carcinoma (RCC), malignant melanoma (MM), colon (CC), and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) biopsies was investigated. One hundred seventy-four were processed by mechanic enzymatic dissociation, yielding 1-2 × 106 cells/g (median), irrespective type. Primary...
