Background: Recent attention focused on the effect of inflammatory cytokines on intermediary metabolism contributing to the nutritional disturbances observed in acute or chronic inflammatory diseases.
Aims: To examine the interactions between immune activation and nutritional parameters in adult Crohn's disease patients.
Patients And Methods: We analysed anthropometric and biochemical nutritional parameters in 40 Crohn's disease patients and 26 healthy controls, and related them to inflammatory and immune markers.
Objectives: Several pathogens have been involved as etiologic agents of acute pancreatitis. We studied 59 patients presenting acute infectious diarrhea in order to determine the incidence as well as to identify factors which may contribute to the occurrence of pancreatic enzyme alteration or true acute pancreatitis.
Methods: Patients were evaluated for serum lipase and amylase, and 24-hours urinary amylase.
Efficacy and safety of an olive oil-based intravenous fat emulsion in adult patients on home parenteral nutrition.
Aliment Pharmacol Ther
February 2005
Background: The most frequently used intravenous lipid emulsions are composed of 100% long chain triacylglycerols from soybean oil or of 50% long chain triacylglycerols-50% medium chain triacylglycerols. A newer emulsion, ClinOleic 20% containing 80% olive oil and 20% soybean oil, was suggested to reduce lipid peroxidation and immune function impairment.
Aim: To assess ClinOleic 20%'s efficacy, safety and effect upon systemic inflammatory parameters in adults on home parenteral nutrition.
