The study aimed to review the clinical course and identify high risk patient groups for prolonged parenteral support and long-term micronutrient supplementation.
We examined vitamins A, E, D, B12, Folate, Zinc, Selenium and Copper status of our patients receiving home parenteral nutrition.
A literature review with three main thematic concepts: the association of nutrition therapy with (1) skin integrity; (2) injury, wounds, and wound healing; and (3) differences of skin color.
The review summarizes the most recent evidence relevant to clinical practice on selected aspects of medical nutrition therapy in adult patients in the intensive care unit and to provide guidance for implementing evidence-based approaches for adequate energy and nutrient supply in the intensive care unit setting.
We studied the causes, duration, and frequency of enteral nutrition interruptions and to assess macronutrients and antioxidant deficits.
Prematurity and other complications at birth are nutritional emergencies. Parenteral nutrition is a bridge to enteral nutrition and sometimes the sole source of nutrition for life.
Newborns benefit from serial growth assessments, monitoring of biochemical status, nutrition-focused physical examinations, and management by a multidisciplinary team to ensure adequacy of parenteral nutrition and promote best outcomes.
A literature review of observational and interventional studies on nutrition during extracorporeal life support, and evaluation of nutrition guidelines in this perspective.
Invited Commentary based upon recently published American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition position paper "Recommendations for Photoprotection of Parenteral Nutrition for Neonates and Premature Infants."
Covered topics are: the importance and diagnosis of malnutrition in the ICU, the optimal timing
and nutrition route, energy and protein requirements, the supplementation of specific nutrients, and monitoring and complications of a Medical Nutrition Therapy.
