Objective: To study the changes occurring in brain lipid composition after the administration of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) by comparing two lipid emulsions, one with long-chain triacylglycerols (LCT) and the other with long-chain and medium-chain triacylglycerols (MCT/LCT 50%/50%).
Methods: We used 21 young New Zealand rabbits divided into three groups of seven animals each. Two groups were subjected to TPN for 7 d, with each group receiving using one of two different lipid emulsions: Intralipid 20% (group LCT) and Lipofundin MCT/LCT 20% (group MCT/LCT).
Objectives: To analize results and late complications in patients with vesicoureteral reflux, treated by endoscopic treatment and with several substances.
Methods: In a long bibliographic review we analize results, recurrences and late complications with this treatment using different substances.
Results/conclusions: In spite of the prescribed substance, VUR may recur several years after treatment.
