The authors report a study of long-term parenteral nutrition with a homogeneous media (produce? Solution?) containing glucido-lipidic calories and essential amino-acids. This solution has the advantage of an easy dosage of the number of calories and of grams of nitrogen to administer; it also decreases the risks of bacterial contamination from "handicraft" mixing and excessive manipulations.

Background: Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) often occurs in the acute phase of sepsis and is associated with increased mortality due to cardiac dysfunction. The pathogenesis remains poorly understood, and no specific treatments are available. Although SICM is considered reversible, emerging evidence suggests potential long-term sequelae.

Background & Aims: Current estimates of the prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in patients with chronic intestinal failure (CIF) exceed those seen in general population, however, the studies to-date are limited. The aim of this study was to determine the point prevalence of IDA in a large cohort of stable home parenteral nutrition (HPN) dependent adults managed by a specialist Intestinal Failure Unit.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of HPN-dependent adults managed by a national UK IF Reference Centre between 01/01/2019 and 31/12/2019.
Introduction: Hemodialysis patients need long-term frequent use of parenteral anticoagulants, and the side effects need to be taken seriously. This study aimed to assess the reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) following administration of unfractionated heparin (UFH), low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs), fondaparinux, and danaparoid, in relation to their usage in European Economic Area (EEA).
Materials And Methods: The total number of ADRs of each anticoagulant between 2017 to 2021 was collected using data from the EudraVigilance database.

Objective: Intestinal transplantation (ITx) has become an accepted option for children with serious complications from intestinal failure and parenteral nutrition (PN) dependence. We aimed to assess long-term growth and nutritional outcomes in these patients. We also assessed factors influencing nutritional status and ability to wean off tube feedings (TFs) after ITx.

Background & Aims: Enteral autonomy, a key outcome of intestinal rehabilitation in patients with intestinal failure (IF), is challenging to predict due to disease complexity and heterogeneity. The aim of this cohort study is to develop and validate a multivariate model to predict enteral autonomy in patients with IF caused by Crohn's disease (CDIF), and to derive an outcome-based severity classification for CDIF.
Methods: The CDIF-Wean Score was constructed and internally validated in a cohort of 182 patients with CDIF from a tertiary IF unit.
