Eating behaviors of children with intestinal failure and those who achieve enteral autonomy: An observational cross-sectional study.

Background: Children with intestinal failure (IF) receiving prolonged parenteral nutrition (PN) are exposed to risk factors that predispose them to developing disordered eating behavior. This study aimed to assess the food interest patterns of PN-dependent children with IF and those who achieved enteral autonomy (EA).

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in children aged 1-14 years with IF currently receiving PN for >60 days and in children who achieved EA.

2024 Standardization of Polysomnography Reports - A Consensus of the Brazilian Sleep Association.

 The absence of standardized reporting for sleep medicine exams across different laboratories can lead to misinterpretation, diagnostic inconsistencies, and suboptimal treatment strategies. This document seeks to establish guidelines for the development of sleep study reports, covering recordings from studies of types 1 to 4, and represents the official position of Associação Brasileira do Sono (ABS; Brazilian Sleep Association) on the standardization of polysomnography (PSG) and cardiorespiratory polygraphies.  The recommendations for the items to be reported in PSG records were developed by means of a Delphi study, comprised of two voting rounds.

2024 Position Statement on the Use of Different Diagnostic Methods for Sleep Disorders in Adults - Brazilian Sleep Association.

 The current document represents the official position of Associação Brasileira do Sono (ABS; Brazilian Sleep Association) on the application of different sleep studies and provides specific recommendations for the use of different types of polysomnography (PSG) and respiratory polygraphy.  The present document was based on existing guidelines. The steering committee discussed its findings and developed recommendations and contraindications, which were refined in discussions with the advisory committee.

Valproic acid ameliorates morpho-dysfunctional effects triggered by Ischiatic nerve crush injury-induced by compression model in mice: Nerve regeneration and immune-modulatory pathway.

Peripheral nerve injuries are extremely severe and may lead to permanent disability, despite the regenerative capacity of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). To date, there is no established pharmacological therapy capable of predicting functional recovery and alleviation of trauma-related symptoms such as neuropathic pain, inflammation and weakness, which are the main targets for current therapies. In this work we provide new evidence for a therapeutic use of valproic acid (VPA) upon ischiatic nerve injury.
