Foods for Special Medical Purposes in Home Enteral Nutrition-Clinical Practice Experience. Multicenter Study.

Background: Enteral nutrition (EN) with foods for special medical purposes (FSMP) is recommended for most patients on home enteral nutrition (HEN). Although there are disease-specific guidelines for energy, protein, and micronutrient provision, only a few studies are showing real-life experience in the long-term use of FSMP.

Methods: In a multicenter study, the influence of the FSMP composition and administration technique (bolus vs.

Organizational issues of home parenteral nutrition during COVID-19 pandemic: Results from multicenter, nationwide study.

Objectives: Patients on home parenteral nutrition (HPN) are prone to severe complications of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The pandemic requires adaptation of the health care standards, including epidemiologic surveillance, logistics of home supply, and monitoring. Potential lack of medical professionals may worsen the standard of care.

Home medical nutrition during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic - A position paper.

Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of a worldwide rapidly spreading illness, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Patients fed enterally and parenterally at home are exposed to the same risk of infection as the general population, but more prone to complications than others. Therefore the guidance for care-givers and care-takers of these patients is needed.

Home Enteral Nutrition in Adults-Nationwide Multicenter Survey.

Home enteral nutrition (HEN) is an important part of the health care system, with a growing population of patients around the world. The aim of our study was to analyze one of the largest cohorts of HEN patients to provide the most recent data available in European literature. A multicenter, nation-wide survey in the period of 1 January 2018-1 January 2019 was performed in Poland.

Analysis of occurrence of bacteraemia with pathogens from gastrointestinal tract in patients fed parenterally and enterally in the intensive care unit.

Introduction: Bacterial translocation is a migration of microorganisms and their toxins from the intestinal lumen to the mesenteric lymph nodes, blood, and abdominal organs. It can lead to local inflammatory response and a potential increase in intestinal permeability leading to systemic infections and multiple organ failure. Enteral nutrition stimulates gastrointestinal motility, increases blood flow, and improves the integration of the intestinal barrier.

Current management of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

The treatment of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) still represents a challenge, even for the specialised multidisciplinary teams in centres that provide treatment for CDH. Despite significant progress in the fields of pathophysiology, prenatal diagnosis, surgical techniques and intensive care, CDH is a disease still burdened with a high mortality. Due to the paucity of randomised studies, there are no standard guidelines for treatment.

Occurrence of gastrointestinal side effects associated with early use of commercial diets in ITU patients.

Background: The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyse the occurrence of gastrointestinal side effects in enterally fed ITU patients.

Methods: We analysed the records of 195 ITU patients fed enterally, over at least five days, with commercial mixtures administered as 20-h infusions. Gastric retention, the number of defecations, and incidents requiring discontinuation of enteral feeding, were noted during the first 3 days of nutrition.

Analysis of nutrition mixtures in ITU patients.

Background: The aim of this study was to analyse the composition of parenteral nutrition (PN) mixtures used in the ITU.

Methods: Restrospective analysis involved 2124 prescriptions for individual PN bags. They were administered over an 18-month period, to 160 ITU patients with the mean APACHE II score of 26 points (range: 5-61), calculated on admission.

Home enteral nutrition in children--2010 nationwide survey of the Polish Society for Clinical Nutrition of Children.

Published epidemiologic data on the administration rates of enteral/parenteral home nutrition is very limited. The aim of this first nationwide study was to assess the availability of pediatric home enteral nutrition (HEN) services in Poland. The questionnaire was sent to all regional centers providing pediatric HEN services in Poland (n = 14).

[Is suxamethonium still useful for paediatric anaesthesia?].

Suxamethonium is the only depolarising neuromuscular blocking agent, which is still being widely used during general anaesthesia. Some of its unique properties rank suxamethonium as an ideal neuromuscular blocking agent i.e.

[Iatrogenic pleuropneumonia as a complication of nutritional treatment of preterm-delivery newborn].

Our study presents a case of pleuropneumonia caused by a leak of nutritional formula to pleural cavity, which was caused by perforation of the oesophagus. The child was born in 28 hbd with 1400 g birth weight and was fed with mother's milk by a nasogastric tube. From day 11 of life general state of the neonate worsened and on chest X-ray the contrast showed leaking into the right pleural cavity and the end of gastric tube was seen in the right lung area.

[Multiple organ failure in a severely malnourished patient with chromosome aberration].

Background: Pneumonia and malnutrition are two of the biggest killers in childhood, as defined by the World Health Organisation. Although common in the developing world, these conditions can also be observed in more advanced countries, as a result of negligence and lack of proper care in disabled children. We describe a case in which severe malnutrition resulted in multiple organ failure.

[Iatrogenic pleuropneumonia complicating central venous cannulation in a very low birth weight infant].

Background: Central venous cannulation is necessary for long-term parenteral nutrition in premature infants. Peripherally inserted long catheters are commonly used in these patients but even this relatively simple technique can end in serious complications. We present a case in which perforation of the vena cava and migration of the catheter to the intrapleural space resulted in multiple organ failure and death.

[Twenty-two months old girl with haemorrhagic gastritis as a complication after the nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs application--case report].

The aim of case report was to pay attention for possibility of side effects of nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs. Child of young and healthy parents was born after normal pregnancy, natural delivery. The disease started in two days before the admission, child had fever, cough and sneezing.

[Does the intensity of acid gastroesophageal reflux influence chosen parameters of physical development in children and youth?].

Unlabelled: THE AIM OF THE STUDY was to analyse physical development of children and youth with gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Material And Methods: one hundred thirteen patients between 2 and 18 years of age, with gastroesophageal reflux disease were included in the study. Height and weight were also analysed using the percentile chart of Warsaw children from 1999.
