Postoperative enteral immunonutrition in head and neck cancer patients: Impact on clinical outcomes.

Background: Head and neck cancer patients have a high rate of complications during the postoperative period that could increase their morbidity rate. Arginine has been shown to improve healing and to modulate inflammation and immune response. The aim of our study was to assess whether use of arginine-enriched enteral formulas could decrease fistulas and length of stay (LoS).

Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Patients with Biliopancreatic Diversion After 10 Years of Follow-up, and Relationship with Vitamin D and Serum Calcium.
