Article Synopsis
- Preterm infants tolerate intravenous (IV) fat less well than enteral feeding, leading to issues like hypertriglyceridemia, so it's recommended to limit parenteral fat intake to 3.5-4.0 g/kg/d compared to 8 g/kg/d from human milk.
- The study examined fatty acid profiles in preterm infants using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, comparing breast milk and lipid emulsions, and looking at differences based on triglyceride levels.
- Results showed that plasma fatty acid levels differed significantly from breast milk and lipid emulsions, with hypertriglyceridemic infants having higher levels of certain fatty acids, suggesting the need for careful formulation of lipid solutions for these infants.
There are no large-scale studies ofpolypharmacy (PP) in dermatology. The authors examined trends in PP (simultaneous use of > or = 4 medications in our study) and associated clinical factors among a nationally representative sample of 46,273 (weighted count +/- standard error [SE]: 617,970,596 +/- 25,187,959) dermatology-related (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes 680-709) patient visits from 1995 to 2009. Data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and the National Hospital Ambulatory Care Survey were examined.
