Optical Microscopy as a Tool for Assessing Parenteral Nutrition Solution Stability: A Proof of Concept.

: Parenteral nutrition (PN) is used when enteral feeding is not possible. It is a complex mixture of nutrients that must meet a patient's needs but can face stability issues, such as lipid emulsion destabilisation and precipitate formation. Stability studies are complex, and the methodologies used are very varied in the literature.

Physicochemical Stability of Hospital Parenteral Nutrition Solutions: Effect of Changes in Composition and Storage Protocol.

(1) Background: Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a technique used for the administration of nutrients to patients for whom traditional routes cannot be used. It is performed using solutions with extremely complex compositions, which can give rise to a large number of interactions. These interactions can impact their stability and put the patient's life at risk.

Electron Microscopy for the Stability Assessment of Parenteral Nutrition Admixtures: Focus on Precipitation.

(1) Background: parenteral nutrition (PN) is indispensable for patients unable to receive oral or enteral feeding. However, the complexity of PN solutions presents challenges regarding stability and compatibility. Precipitation reactions may occur.

Evaluation of the Stability of Newborn Hospital Parenteral Nutrition Solutions.

(1) Background: parenteral nutrition (PN) solutions are an extremely complex mixture. It is composed of a multitude of chemical elements that can give rise to a large number of interactions that condition its stability and safety. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of PN solutions for preterm infants.

Telemedicine informatics application for nutritional support surveillance of instutionalized persons in nursing homes from a hospital pharmacy service.

Introduction: Institutionalized patients who require nutrition support regularly visit the Unit of Nutrition Support of the Hospital Pharmacy  Service. During these visits, prior to establishing a nutrition regime and  followup scheme, an initial nutritional status assessment is performed.  Telemedicine and Telepharmacy have expanded in recent years for remote  monitoring of institutionalized persons.

Stability of lipid emulsion in total parenteral nutrition: An overview of literature.

Backgound And Aims: Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is an extremely complex mixture. The multitude of chemical compounds involved can give rise to numerous reactions that condition its stability. We set out to review the existing literature on different issues related to stability, and which are still of concern in the hospital environment; such as the stability of the lipid emulsion.

[Experience with nebulised colistin in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis colonised with Pseudomonas aeruginosa].

Objective: Chronic colonisation/infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa of the bronchiectasis is related to a faster deterioration of lung function, an increase in the number of exacerbations and a higher morbidity and mortality. Nebulised colistin decreases bacteria load. Therefore, a reduction in the number and in the severity of exacerbations and a delay of pulmonary decline is expected.

Effect of tyrosine kinase inhibitors on the glucose levels in diabetic and nondiabetic patients.

Context: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are used in different types of cancers due to their good profile of adverse reactions and their convenience in the oral administration. Some studies describe that certain TKIs are associated with changes in the glycemic profile of the patients.

Aims: This study aims to determine if treatment with ITK affects to serum glucose levels in clinical practice.
