Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine if early enteral nutrition improves outcome for trauma patients with an open abdomen (OA).Retrospective review was used to identify 78 patients who required an OA for >or=4 hospital days, survived, and had available nutrition data. Demographic data and nutrition data comprising enteral nutrition initiation day and daily % target goal were collected. Patients were divided into 2 groups: early enteral feeding (EEN), initiated Keywords:

A female of 30 years of age, hailing from Narayangonj, Dhaka got admitted herself into Dhaka medical College & Hospital on 25.10.08 with the complaints of a lump in the lower abdomen for 1 year and pain in the lower abdomen for the same duration. Local examination reveals a lump in the lower abdomen which is intra abdominal, 10cm × 12cm in size. CT scan of Abdomen reveals a solid mass measuring (12 × 9 × 8.5) cm is seen in left side of abdominal cavity extending up to pelvic cavity. FNAC of abdominal lump shows sheets of mesothelial cells and few small clusters of regular epithelial like cells. Laparotomy was done on 27.11.08 under G/A & reveals a solid mass measuring about 10 × 8cm size & was well encapsulated, adherent with omentum found in the lower abdomen. Few mesenteric lymph nodes were enlarged. The mass was gently separated from the omentum ensuring adequate haemostasis. Post-operative period was uneventful. Histopathology report shows neoplasm composed of plump of fibroblasts arranged in broad sweeping fascicles and infiltrate into adjacent tissue consistent with fibromatosis. The patient was discharged with advice on 10th post operative day.

Nutrition practices for preterm infants during the first few weeks of life can be divided into three phases: the parenteral nutrition (PN), enteral nutrition (EN), and transition (TN) phases; the TN phase includes both PN and EN. Our purpose was to analyze nutrition practices for very preterm infants during the TN phase and their association with the infants' growth during the first 28 days of life.Data from 268 very preterm infants <32 weeks old from six neonatal intensive care units were analyzed retrospectively. The TN phase was defined as enteral feedings of 30-120 ml/kg/d. Postnatal growth failure (PGF) was defined as a 28-day growth velocity <15 g/kg/d. Differences in protein and energy intake between the PGF and non-PGF groups during the TN phase were calculated, and risk factors for PGF were identified using multivariate regression analysis.The total protein (parenteral + enteral) intake during the TN was 3.16 (2.89, 3.47) g/kg/d, which gradually decreased as the enteral feeding volume increased in the TN phase. The total energy (parenteral + enteral) intake during the TN phase was 115.72 (106.98, 122.60) kcal/kg/d. The PGF group had a lower total protein intake (parenteral + enteral) than the non-PGF group had [3.09 (2.85, 3.38) g/kg/d vs. 3.27 (3.06, 3.57) g/kg/d, P = 0.007, respectively]. No significant difference was found in energy intake during the TN phase. The variables associated with PGF included a lower total protein (parenteral + enteral) intake, a smaller day of age at the end of the TN phase, and a higher birth weight z-score.Increasing the total protein intake (parenteral + enteral) during the TN could reduce the incidence of PGF.

• We sought to determine whether an excess in energy intake as total parenteral nutrition would result in liver biochemical and histological changes in the presence of a functional gastrointestinal tract. Three groups of rats were given amounts of total parenteral nutrition that provided either 25% (total parenteral nutrition-25), 100% (total parenteral nutrition-100), or 200% (total parenteral nutrition-200) of a rat's energy requirements. Rat chow and water were available ad libitum. Food intake decreased in proportion to the amount of total parenteral nutrition infused; it ceased with total parenteral nutrition-200. Liver glycogen and triglyceride concentrations were higher with high energy intake (total parenteral nutrition-100 and total parenteral nutrition-200), while total liver nitrogen concentrations remained unchanged. No cholestasis, inflammation, or fibrosis was seen histologically. Fatty vacuoles were increased with total parenteral nutrition (more so with total parenteral nutrition-200) but a prompt return to normal liver features was observed after cessation of total parenteral nutrition and the resumption of normal food intake.

Objective To assess the combined application of staged enteral and parenteral nutrition support in patients with acute pancreatitis. Methods Sixty patients with acute pancreatitis who underwent conservative treatment were divided into total parenteral nutrition and staged parenteral and enteral nutrition. The changes of clinical indicators and clinical outcome were recorded. Results All of the 30 cases in the total parenteral nutrition+enteral nutrition group tolerated the enteral nutrition.One week after nutrition support from parenteral nutrition to enteral nutrition, total protein serum albumin and blood calcium significantly increased (P0.01);ALT and AST significantly decreased (P0.01).The blood glucose was significantly decreased (P0.05).The average hospital stay was shorter in the total parenteral nutrition+enteral nutrition group than in the total parenteral nutrition group(P0.05),and the average charge and total charge were cheaper in the total parenteral nutrition+enteral nutrition group than in the total parenteral nutrition group.Conclusion The results of glucose and nutritional indicators in total parenteral nutrition and enteral nutrition are better than in total parenteral nutrition group.

Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), which uses intravenous administration of nutrients, minerals and vitamins, is essential in sustaining premature infants until they transition to enteral feeds. There is limited information on metabolomic differences between infants on TPN and enteral feeds. We performed untargeted global metabolomics on urine samples collected between 23-30 days of life from 314 infants born &lt;29 weeks gestational age from the TOLSURF and PROP cohorts. Principal component analysis across all metabolites showed a separation of infants solely on TPN as compared to infants who had transitioned to enteral feeds, indicating global metabolomic differences between infants based on feeding status. Among 913 metabolites that passed quality control filters, 609 varied in abundance between infants on TPN vs enteral feeds at p&lt;0.05. Of these, 88% were in the direction of higher abundance in the urine of infants on enteral feeds. In a subset of infants with longitudinal analysis, both concurrent and delayed changes in metabolite levels were observed with initiation of enteral feeds. Infants on enteral feeds had higher concentrations of essential amino acids, lipids, and vitamins, which are necessary for growth and development, suggesting a nutritional benefit of an enteral feeding regimen.

To review and discuss the evidence and arguments to combine enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition in the ICU, in particular with reference to the Early Parenteral Nutrition Completing Enteral Nutrition in Adult Critically Ill Patients (EPaNIC) study.The EPaNIC study shows an advantage in terms of discharges alive from the ICU when parenteral nutrition is delayed to day 8 as compared with combining enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition from day 3 of ICU stay.The difference between the guidelines from the European Society of Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition in Europe and American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition/Society of Critical Care Medicine in North America concerning the combination of enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition during the initial week of ICU stay was reviewed. The EPaNIC study clearly demonstrates that early parenteral nutrition in the ICU is not in the best interests of most patients. Exactly at what time point the combination of enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition should be considered is still an open question.

To examine the aluminum content of several commercially available enteral nutrition formulas and parenteral solutions.Twelve enteral nutrition formulas and 10 parenteral solutions were commonly used in routine clinical care of patients and obtained from different medical companies in Turkey. The aluminum contents were determined by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry.We found that aluminum concentration in the enteral nutrition formulas and the parenteral solutions to range from 87.6 to 961.2 ng/mL and 58.4 to 1232.0 ng/mL, respectively.Careful clinical and biochemical monitoring are warranted to determine whether it will be necessary to eliminate aluminum contamination of enteral and parenteral preparations used in patients, particularly infants, with reduced kidney function who may be at risk for aluminum intoxication.
